Andrew Taylor is definitely a good read.

I've got masses to add but just can't seem to find the time inbetween covid tests.

Big thanks again to you guys, we were planning on attending the hospital in the morning for our 2nd PCR test, have managed to arrange our appointments, but it says be there 9am, so wonder how many others will be there at that time also. Anyway, wish us luck. :| GN. I had my second done on Tuesday a...

PS, you're right about the insurance, BB. I queried mine before I left and was told that if you are quarantined because of close contact to someone on the plane who's positive and you're not, insurance won't cover you.

I reckon I saw most of your 4-5 abreast tourists today at HH hospital, BB. I was there to take the my second PCR test as part of Test and Go. It was chaos. If I had close contact with maybe 7 people on NY Eve, I was near well over a hundred today. Where did they all come from? Mainly farang couples ...

I had mine through Line from the hotel reception.

Well, I had all of one or two days in the top spot a few months ago then collapsed but am clawing my way up again.

I'm on your back, BB.

As an anecdote, I noticed that my re-entry permit didn't have a number on it. That was 2 hours before touch down as I was filling in the entry/departure card on the plane. I've never seen Imm so cheerful and other than a very short delay whilst it was confirmed that it was wasn't a technical red car...

PCR result was negative. Got it through the hotel by Line in my room at 2.30pm. negative and a good turn around time. Decided not to spend the night in BKK so am now supping a cold Chang in HH. Much was made of the pink piece of health paper I got at Swampy. Joelle refers to it above. Everyone wante...

Flew Thai and arrived at 6am this morning and had cleared the airport by 7.15 it was painless although if lots of flights arrive at the same time I can see the health stuff being chaotic. Yes, test and go. Taxi was waiting for me and took me to a hospital close to the airport for the PCR test. I was...

Well, sitting here at Heathrow with a pint of London Pride and am thinking about the whole journey. It really hasn't been difficult but you've got to be organised with paperwork and deadlines - ie for covid tests and other stuff. Probably the worst time was waiting for my PCR all clear yesterday. If...

It's knife edge stuff over here in the UK in terms of getting back. I was expecting to have to quarantine at minimum and maybe face a total ban on UK visitors at worst. My return flight is next Tuesday, 28th. Just as well I did my Thailand Pass early last Monday and got it approved last Thursday. At...

I'm going through things for my return right now. You son will need a Thailand Pass. Others will be able to give you the link as I didn't do it myself - travel agent in HH did. I actually got the approval this morning. It took my agents 4 days from their getting my docs. Your son will have to fill i...

Just a quick question from this tech illiterate person. I've got Line installed on my phone. Does that mean I can use it to phone/message Thailand and vice versa without a UK SIM card as long as I've got a WiFi connection in the UK? That seems strange to me but my wife reckons the UK SIM is not nece...

Thank whoever that I wasn't there.

I'm fcuked then. Was going to cash my piggy bank in to replace the crazy amounts of money I've had to pay Thailand for the forthcoming trip. On the subject of legal tender, but in the UK, it used to be that a shop had to accept coinage up to a certain value. It happened to me once and the shop accep...
