I think there could be enough interest if managed well, but unfortunately they make the process very complicated and then the quarantine is overly strict (you can't order food from outside, no alcohol, not allowed to open the windows) and other shenanigans like prebooking all hotels, wearing gps-wristbands. Most of the people interested in this already live in Thailand (but got stuck abroad unable to return) on tourist or other visas and would rent apartments, and not stay in hotel rooms.

I do have some Thai friends, and a few pinoys who work in Thailand so I am familiar with the rules and quarantaine process. You are right about those rules, but ordering Grab Food is possible. You can also register 2 'family members' (aren't checked) that are able to bring you stuff. And of course with a bit of monetary courage you are pretty much free to bring them whatever they want.

Am in a similar predicament with my “base” in Hong Kong. It is very frustrating.
