Why no home quarantine in TH?

[phuketcouple 28]

I would like to travel again with my TH wife in November for about 6 months to my home in Thailand - as I have done for over 10 years.

 

My house is in a hotel-resort on Phuket. 
We had already lived there this year in March / April in a more than 4-week 'self-chosen' quarantine. 
No problem, everything we needed was delivered to our door by the staff / friends.

 

In e.g. Germany it is rather the rule that a Covid quarantine can be spent at home. Violations will be severely sanctioned.

 

Why is this not possible in TH? 

We have no problem with being driven from the airport with a suitable car from a hospital directly to our house - against payment.

It was possible in the early days for Thais, but as usual there were the people who simply did not bother, so now everyone does, except for diplomats i think

Because some people don't understand what quarantine means, just one of many examples: https://edition.cnn.com/2020/09/11/us/miami-university-student-party-covid-trnd/index.html

What are they supposed to do? IQ test before being allowed into Thailand?

Quarantine at a controlled facility is more idiot proof.

Actually, it was only possible for diplomats and VIPs at first,  Then some VIP didn't bother and went to a mall while infected when he was supposed to stay home.  So now everyone has to quarantine.

I would even accept an 'electronic ankle monitor' -- still better than 14 days in a room in a hotel jail.

You need to be kept at rinsable distance at all times simple as that

This is too easy. How much money is there for home quarantine, and how much money is there in mandated quarantine? Duh.

Quarantine and self-isolation are completely different things.  Bottom line is self-isolation is flawed, and people cannot be trusted.

Because many would not follow the rule.

It is simply not going to happen.  There is no use thinking about it.   Either accept the quarantine, or plan not to return for many months or maybe years.

I don't understand your problem. Nothing is impossible in Thailand.

It was possible in the early days for Thai people but since some of them violated the home quarantine and even stupidly videotaping themselves going out to pubs or whatever, that's why the government needed government officials to control and restrict our movements. 

 

If you home quarantine, nobody trustworthy is going to watch over you.

 

As always, the fault of a few dumb people caused hardships for the rest.

 

It's the same with some people who violated financial requirements for retirement and marriage extensions, causing those who are legal to be punished as well.

Just a hunch......

But I'm betting on the dismissal of ongoing entry protocol [mandatory 2-wk quarantine, documented test 24hrs prior, BS COVID insurance scam, etc] when they do open up the gates for everyone.
