Due to the countries in Asia that Thai people love to visit, such as China, South Korea, Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Vietnam, all of which have high numbers of COVID-19 cases, many who have recently returned from these high-risk countries must take responsibility by "self-quarantining at home" for 2 weeks, as the virus has an incubation period of up to 14 days.

Spending 14 days away from family, eating separately, and sleeping apart can be challenging for those unaccustomed to being alone, but it is necessary to confine oneself to a room alone.

Here are 7 ways to alleviate boredom and loneliness when you find yourself in a self-quarantine situation at home, making those two weeks without seeing anyone not so dull after all!

1. Binge-watch Movies and Series

If you are a member of streaming services like Netflix, Disney+, or Viu, now is the perfect time to watch your favorite movies or series non-stop. If you don’t have these apps, it’s not a big deal, as LineTV also offers plenty of series, dramas, and shows to enjoy.

2. Play Games and Level Up

Gamers shouldn’t miss this golden opportunity to play games without interruptions, especially those who enjoy MMORPGs (Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games) that allow for online play with many others. This way, you won’t feel lonely!

3. Exercise with YouTube

If you’re not into series or gaming, don’t let 24 hours of solitude go to waste. As long as you have internet access to watch YouTube, there are countless fitness channels from both Thai and international influencers to help you stay fit and firm.

4. Clean and Organize Your Room

Since you can’t go out, take this opportunity to clean and organize your room. If it’s messy enough that you need to clear out some items, try the KonMari method: if it doesn’t spark joy, toss it out. If it’s still usable, consider gathering items for future donation.

5. Read Those Books You’ve Been Hoarding

For those who love buying books but never get around to reading them, now is your chance to dive into those titles you’ve been neglecting, a phenomenon known in Japanese as “tsundoku.” You might even discover that you’ve accidentally bought duplicates!

6. Practice Baking or Cooking

If you’re home alone, you don’t have to worry about sharing the kitchen with anyone. This is a great time to practice baking or cooking dishes you’ve always wanted to try. Just make sure you check your ingredients first to ensure you have enough, as running out means you can’t go out to buy more!

7. Sleep to Your Heart’s Content

If you’ve been sleep-deprived, you’ll likely find that your greatest desire is simply to sleep. This is the perfect time to catch up on rest without having to hit the snooze button on your alarm in the morning!
