I've spent months in Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia pre-Covid. I'm very familiar with the nomad spots. I love it there but not worth a quarantine for me. There are tropical beaches and coworking spaces in latin America too.

Over the winter covid case rates were pretty bad in Latin America. Thailand was at less than 100 cases/day, with a large fraction being caught in these quarantine facilities. Thailand seemed like the safer option.

Also it was a 7 week stay, so 2 weeks of quarantine was quite short compared to the duration of the trip.
