recent early data suggest that this variant could end the pandemic 

AFAIK, only one CEO of a private healthcare network, has put forward this hypothesis (twice). So far, only one other person, an immunologist, is publicly sharing his 'cautious optimism'.

From my understanding this variant was announced only recently in  RSA.

The poor chap arrived in November, I  supposed he had been tested and quarantined as well upon arrival in Thailand. 

I therefore can only suspect he has been infected in Thailand only. Maybe I am wrong.????

The OP says he arrived "end of November".
