Day 11 in ASQ
Despite the “chaoticness” that’s often associated with Thailand, especially the motorbike-filled streets and bustling night markets, the ASQ has been efficiently smooth. Meals are delivered on time, “outside time” is easy to schedule, my COVID test followed strict protocol, ordering from 7-11 was easy, and the nurses were prompt to remind me to send them my temperature twice a day.
Yes, it has been boring, but ultimately, it’s what you do with your time. I’ve been working online as a writer and editor, redesigned my website logo and worked on improving my site functionality, read books, rewrote my cover letter, exercised, and watched shows on Netflix that I probably otherwise wouldn’t have.
Quarantine sucks. No one wants to be locked up for 2 weeks, but I did it because I want to be in Thailand long-term, and if quarantine is a mandatory requirement, then so be it. It’s not ideal for those looking to travel as a tourist, but it's a nice workaround for me and many others rather than to permanently close the borders.
