Bimagine the things that we had to go through just to get here man wow what a long process it's been
But um if you ask us it's worth it yeah I mean the process of how we got here. It was intense.
Multiple trips to the embassy. Here we go. It's the beginning of our next step.
Alright guys so we're here outside the Thai Embassy - Royal Thai Embassy consular office.
We're about to apply for our Thai visa tourist visa. Yeah a lot of steps involved so hopefully
we got everything all settled. Hopefully but never know yeah. Hopefully we came prepared.
So also it's a lockdown here in Malaysia. Cancelled flights, lots of paperwork,
lots of wasted paper. Sorry, trees. Really the question. Is traveling to Thailand worth it in 2021?
If you are in quarantine, you are not allowed to go a step or two further from your doorstep.
Greetings from our ASQ hotel here in Bangkok, Thailand and today is day five,
which means it's a swab day for us. Greg went already. We tried to negotiate if they can
go two people at one time, but I'm not sure if other hotels do the same thing, but in our hotel
only one person at a time. Alright that's my turn
So we just got our Covid-19 test. Today is day six is it? Okay today's day six
night seven and um yesterday we did our covid test and we just got our result. And of course hint
we're still in our hotel room, we're not in the hospital which means it's negative.
The downside though is I asked if we can go outside for an hour a day. You see a lot of these
ASQ's they allow you to go outside after you test negative your first test, but they said no you have to
wait for the second test. But it is what it is. Now with that said, just gonna enjoy this balcony. Getting
more and more excited about being in Thailand just from sitting out here. Look at that sunset
Okay what do we have for dinner? Alright this one I was really looking forward to. It's green
curry. I love green curry. Alright let's go. Yeah so they put it - give it to you on this tray.
So they give it to you in like a takeout container, which is cool. I don't mind that at all. You know we
eat a lot of take out, especially when we were in lockdown in Malaysia. We're no strangers
to take out containers, we're all good with it. They gave us some oranges here. Two oranges each.
Keep that Vitamin C up during this time, very important. Green curry which looks delicious
There's a whole separate container of it, so we can dump it all on this
rice. I usually like the fish sauce add a little funk to it and a little some chilies in there too.
Add that to the rice - beautiful. And it comes in this like this paper is your guide on what we
get for dinner or breakfast or lunch or dinner every day. Oh let's see what's that.
Alright it looks good. Let's put some of that on the rice.
Let's put it all. Some good flavors here. I like they actually have real shreds of galangal in
here, which is nice. You have the eggplant. You know clearly this is not going to be some amazing
Thai street food you get over here in Bangkok, but you know what for a two week quarantine here,
this is pretty good. I gotta admit. And we can't stress enough when you're here order the Thai
dishes. The Thai dishes, pretty much all we've tried have been either solid to good. None of
them have been bad. So order Thai dishes - we can't stress that enough. Gotta go with Thai food in Thailand.
Today is day 12 of our quarantine. Almost there. Yeah day 12 and we just did our swab
test for the last time during this quarantine, so you get two swabs. Almost there. Day 12 of day 15.
Can't wait to get out there. You know even though we see Bangkok from the outside of our balcony,
it's still different if you're in the city or out there and yeah almost there. Almost there
These are the results of our second Covid-19 swab tests during this quarantine.
And we already know what the result is because the first thing they do in the morning is it's either
call us for food and today they called us for food and the result of the test. It's safe to say that
we're negative and in 48 hours, we're leaving this quarantine hotel and can't wait to see Bangkok
and be free. So we only have 48 hours left until we leave this hotel and being quarantined.
Alright how do you feel? Can taste the freedom and taste the street food. Can taste the beaches that
we'll be going to soon and the island life.
Even happier to be here
That's basically it here in our ASQ hotel. Every single day we're not allowed to go outside.
These two papers are certified and we're officially
We're free, we're free!
So it's going to vary every country you're going to be applying from. It's going to have different
regulations. You gotta check the Thai embassy in your country and see the process for it. You
have to - often you have to either apply for a visa and later on certificate of entry.
You have to have insurance to get in here, a specific kind of insurance. We'll actually
leave you a link in the description below what we used. It could be very very stressful and it was
to get here. We weren't relaxed until we got out of the airport and into our quarantine hotel smoothly.
I think we weren't relaxed until we got into the quarantine hotel
Yeah there's a lot of hoops you have to jump through, but the good thing is there's
a lot of resources out there that helped us. Facebook groups are key. We're going to leave you
a little picture right down below of the Facebook group we used to apply for the
visa because everything's changing. That's the thing. As of right now, we're filming this
at the end of March and there's always changes. So always keep a look on that. Do your research.
Things are changing rapidly right now as you know with the pandemic and everything going on.
Locals, natives who are coming back to Thailand have to go through the same process as travelers.
