What they might do is have the flights from a airport near here that is open for most people and it would be up to them to make arrangements for flights to those airports.

Where might that be?  Virtually every country in Asia is closed.  The closest plausible countries for such a scheme would be in Europe.

I wrote airports not countries. There are countries that are allowing transiting passengers.

Japan

South Korea

UAE with restrictions.

There are probably more that allow transit passengers.

Interestingly, they changed it to "at least 30 days" from "at least 90 days."

And I wonder if you are now only required to Pre-Pay in advance for only 30 days now instead of 90?

According to what was posted from Thailand Longstay Company you pay for ASQ for the quarantine and also show paid lodging for 15 days after quarantine unless you show a lease or own a condo.  That's just the initial info that has not been officially approved yet so that could change

Sounds like far too much trouble. This will not go well and I expect the STV to quietly become obsolete whenever Thailand does a soft reopening of their borders next year 

Its not official yet but the indications so far if and when it becomes official they have already stated it will be available for a year, I believe they said to Sept 2021. Any or all the guidelines can be changed as they work thru the approval process.

They have accepted more hotels as quarantine hotels:

Now, there are 9 hotels in Phuket. The prices in Phuket start around 82.000 baht, including meals, tests, etc.
