    Test and go to Bantak

    After leaving Thailand in February of 2020 I’m finally back. This time not for a holiday but on a more pertinent move. And I must say it feels pretty strange.

    Less than days ago I was sitting in the cold foggy Baltimore airport.

    Then on to JFK to get my first real flight to Helsinki and then finally landing in Bangkok this morning.

    Finland doesn’t look like a fun place to be in winter.

    Doing this in an iPhone isn’t fun.

    Mike, My Thailand pass is for 7 days but right before I left I had the Thai girl that did all my paperwork rebook my hotel for the new test and go just in case.

    For now it seems to have worked. I will let you know tomorrow.

    Landed in Bkk an hour early at 6:30 this morning.

    They do have everything pretty well organized at the airport I was out of there in no time.

    They didn’t take any notice of my questions about switching to the new test and go though and I didn’t push it.

    I just showed my passport at the hotel and they went for my test and go booking so I’m just waiting to see what happens. I can’t imagine sitting in a hotel for two weeks.

    It was funny to see good old mama noodle at the airport in Finland.

    Well just returned from my first trip outside.

    I must say it felt tense. I think with the recent rules change the staff arenÂ’t sure who can be out.

    Surprisingly it wasn’t really to bad. I would think it will be even easier now as I booked all my stuff just before the rules changed again.

    A new day starting and should be my first to roam free in Bangkok.

    I decided to just stay here for 5 days as the options for an ASQ on day 5 around Tak are obviously limited.

    so I will head home after the second test results are back.

    I was fully prepared for a full week that’s why I chose this hotel on the river. It does have a great view of the balcony and plenty to see. But not so convenient for trips into the city.

    Nice morning here though.
