okay that's it we're on to the next place let's go let's go
okay let's chat okay so basically if you've come to watch the video for
food i don't think there will be any because i'm full and i've eaten so much food lately
and i just can't do that this time just give me a little break on this one please
but stick around because there's some pretty exciting information so
this all started when the other day we had some issues with our visa right this is what happened
it's supposed to be able to be renewed for another 90 days and michael told me that they only
extended it for 30 days i'll give you a kind of explanation as to why that was so stressful when
we left for thailand we went with an insurance company and you have to have obviously insurance
to travel or get a visa or whatever so we went with one and they said that at the end of our
visa we can just renew for the next three months and renew and it will be no problem so that's
why we went with them so we went with them and then what basically happened was when we went
to renew this time for our next three months they originally told us that would be no problem i was
on the phone to them they said no worries at all we'll send it out to you we got the offer
in an email i don't know a day later and it was only for 30 days so we were panicking because
we had to get our visa renewed i think like the next day so it was not a very long time to get
anything done right but you can't renew your visa too far in advance anyway so we're doing
the right thing so basically told us no there's no option for 90 days you can't do 90 days you can't
renew it for 90 days even though they told us when we got here that we could anyway so
we were like well what are our options like we had to get our visa done and they basically said
the only option you have is to do a one-year visa which is four times the amount of time and four
times the amount of cost that we actually need it just didn't really suit us at all and were really
stressed because we had to get the visa renewed it wasn't going to work and for a full maybe 24
hours there we thought that we weren't going to have insurance and we were going to have to leave
the country basically what we had to do is we had to then find someone else to give us insurance
so we had to go through a broker that was also a little bit stressful because we had to wait
to talk to them we couldn't just get it sort of straight away we had to talk to the broker
and time basically was running out at this point the next morning which was basically i think the
day we went to renew our visa we got an email from them and we paid and we it was all good we they
got us for 90 days and it was a decent price that was that we had the insurance and it felt really
good because we could probably stay so the funny thing then is that the first company went with
then sent us another email which was exactly the same as the first email that said 30 days
but it had been changed to 90 days when they said that that couldn't be done i feel like
maybe they were just saying that it wasn't an option so that we paid for the one year perhaps
i don't know that's what it seemed like so anyway we went with the broker and we got it done and
that was that so then after that we actually went to the v's office we had to sit there
and wait for hours it was a little bit of a long process but it was a lot smoother than we thought
so this is what happened there submitted all the paperwork and everything we're just waiting to
pick up the passports and hopefully have like the visa and everything stamped and in there
and ready to go but we've been here since about like 10 30 11 this morning and it's
about three o'clock ish in the afternoon now so and we got like 99 percent of things right so i'm
sorry you better get your paperwork and we did get almost everything right we missed like one or two
pages um but we fixed it all up and yeah so make sure you get everything ready to go but hopefully
i think three or four hours is good yeah i think that was a good day that's a good outcome but
hopefully go home soon so basically we're still here so right now as you saw just before earlier
in the video we've checked out of our apartment and we're on to the next place stick around to
find out where that is but first michael's at the moment going to send a box a package
of um some things that we don't really want to carry around with us anymore
but we don't really want to throw out all this too valuable throw out back home so he's gone
off to do that and this is what he's up to i'm just in siam square now with box because he's
back at starbucks getting some work done i'm gonna mail this back to australia hopefully it
made our bags light i didn't feel like it did but i guess we'll find out in a couple minutes
i'm here in starbucks below our apartment that we're checking out of and i'm just going to catch
up on some editing so i'm about to do that now for a few hours we can't check into the new place
until about 2 p.m and it's about 12 now so we've got about two hours worth of work i have to do
it's been a a weird day um i've been under the weather the last couple of days so it's been
a bit of a weird one but we're on to the new place and i'm excited where we're going tell me in the
comments below right now so you don't cheat don't do it at the end because then you'll know do it
now tell me where you think we're going so we are just in the taxi grab now and we're heading to
our next destination for a couple of days not for a long time but we're on the way and i'm
excited to show you where we're going for a few days okay so we just got here and i somehow lost
michael oh there he is found him i would like to have the black backpack
yes so we're here and we're going to show you where we are we're just going to find
a room you'll pick a little room tool before the bags we will look at this
look i can see him like right there there is hermes
let's go oh right around okay let's see the upgraded room upgraded room
nice oh i'll take that so there's like that's the bathroom oh there's a bath
the room and i specifically got it because there's a massive king there
we wanted a big king bed because we both like sleep like this so yeah but you have a little
desk yeah big tv yes big this thing see luggage hopefully free fruit over there
you've oh to check the minibar can you stop taking over my channel
yeah well you don't do it right there we go let me open it we got in here oh nothing
okay so now i'm a little bit calmed down and i've put my bag down and i'm charging my phone
i want to give you a quick like tour of like the room i guess and then the bathroom and then we're
gonna go explore like the pool area and things like that and show you what that's like too
but basically this was a upgrade i think this is called technically a family room i'm pretty sure
but you have obviously the entrance back there what's this little thing oh like a coat closet
it's like a coat closet in here yes so you have like a safe and what not some shelves and
i don't know what that is oh a hairdryer good because i just sent mine home then you come out
into this big room with a massive king bed and it's so soft and i love soft beds like i love
soft beds so i'm excited to sleep in this then you have i'm pretty sure this is just a wall
yep just a wall desk to work on which i have to get some editing done and then we have a big couch
with the upgrade and then you have this room this room you have this view hold on come to me there
you go so you have a big river here and all of the things on the outside and arkham cm is literally
right behind us this way now we were going to go out for dinner somewhere um but i
think we're going to scrap that because we feel like this is a really nice place to be tonight
um and we might just have dinner in or close or something like that we're gonna go explore the
rest of the place in a second and also we're gonna tell you where we are soon and give you a little
bit of an update as to why we're here so stick around michael is just getting some rest and i
just had a shower i'm gonna come and get us some snacks because it's about 4 30 or something and
neither of us have eaten really properly and we need dinner soon but it's kind of that awkward
time where it's not time for dinner yet but we're hungry and it's not lunch we haven't
eaten anyway there's a gym in there i just don't want to show you because there's people working
out and i think that's a little bit rude um but i'll show you the pool oh this is pretty
this is really nice i hope you like this like little unfiltered kind of i did not
look at my shoes i accidentally wore one of michael's really big ones and my
little mine michaels and it's for the wrong foot anyway this little seating area is stunning
it is actually a super nice view um i'm not going to go that way though i'm going
to hopefully go this way to the pool okay so these are really cool i could come and
like sit here with my laptop and overlook this this is really cool there's a little seating
area there's a couple of them you have some bean bags just here to sit on and then i'm not going
to show you the pool because there's kids here at the moment but um it kind of overlooks the
uh there's like how do i say it like chairs on in the pool that overlook so you're kind of sitting
in the pool but you're on the chairs if that makes sense i'll try and get a picture a shot without
kids so we're just gonna come on and do a little i guess life update what's our plans where we're
going what's going on why are we here so we're here we're in the hilton we're still in bangkok
our rental in our apartment ran out and we wanted to stay for a couple more days just to get a
little bit more content and to see a few other things in bangkok we also didn't really know what
we were going to do next until not that long ago because we had to get our visas hold it we didn't
even know if we could stay here there was a period there we were looking at how to get into cambodia
if we're going to go to bali because it started to open we got the visa we're still here um but
we just came to the hilton we stayed on the other side of the river than where we were
before so we were around more things that we haven't really been around yet we want to grab
some things before we head on to where we're going which is chiang mai no i want to say it
we feel like that's a good base because we want to explore isan nan province we're going to go
to pai we're going to see a bit of central thailand literally anything that's that's like
within a four-hour reach of of chiang mai or a five-hour rate of chiang mai we're gonna see so
basically we're leaving in a couple of days and then we're gonna head on to chiang mai and go
from there there's so much more of this country to see than just bangkok and i think we still
want to go to the south i'm really excited because there's so much more of this country
that i haven't seen that i get to see now and i'm excited so stay tuned and i'm excited we're going
to like a temple or so we're going to something before we leave and then obviously having a travel
