International travel right now is full of hidden gotchas right now. Thailand has just started to open to international vaccinated tourists.

But if someone on the plane tests positive for COVID-19, that means you go right into quarantine for the next two weeks, even if you yourself are not testing positive.

Yeah, I used to live in Europe, so I wanted to go back there, but I don't see myself testing those waters. It also doesn't feel right heading to places where the locals are living in a different health zone than the inbound travelers. A few of the places I had on my list have moved to almost-lockdown status.
I did the 2 week quarantine in Thailand (I went in knowing I had to quarantine). It wasn't bad but I was in a 5 star hotel with amazing food. Couldn't even leave the room which was a little ridiculous though.
