Great stuff, Peter. I'm so happy for you as it feels like I've been on this journey with you leading up to your trip. Planning my month long in June. Hopefully the Rona doesn't change things since the government is getting spooked at my end on the latest and greatest.
Better here than back home for sure!
Great stuff..... keep 'em coming Peter...! 👍👍🙂🙂❤
Thanks for the update mate
thanks for the update Peter enjoy mate glad all is ok
Love the honestly , something you don’t see much with other Thailand vloggers. Hopefully you can sort us out a live stream soon
Yes, many of the Thailand channels are sugar-coating the truth and avoiding explaining all the nightmarish downfalls before and after arriving in Thailand.
Stayed at Aloft 11, for my Test & Go, floor wasn’t like that one. But one of the other room was exactly like that and they had to quarantined for 15 days. I felt the same way, wanted to get out of the hotel as fast as I could.
Great to see , hear from you mate. All the best
The best hotel 2 do you 1 night quarantine in is terminal 21,you feel like you a normal guest.🇮🇪🇹🇭👍👍
Hi Peter love what your doing.
Enjoy your holiday
All the best and happy Christmas.
Thanks, you too!
Very happy for you finally you are at home ! U look a lot happier & excited 😜
I am!
Great to see you back in Thailand Peter...Keep us Updated...planning to go there some time in February if all goes well
Absolutely
Fantastic to see you in Thailand
Have a fun trip !
It will never be the same.
Cold eggs and toast in a paper bag. Look at how many hours in flight with a mask on. They want your foreign money, not you; that part hasn't changed. Is it really worth it? I hope you can enjoy your trip. Maybe this one won't ruin the memories from all your other times there. I wish I had done more on my visits there and taken a few more trips between when it was possible, I will probably never travel again, post-plandemic. smh
Justme that is spelled Scamdemic.
Nice video Peter keep them you look like you've lost hope you have a fantastic stay in Thailand keep us updated on the next video and nice to see your back in Thailand have a fantastic time 👍
Thank you, I will
Unfortunately these are the times we live in. Cudo’s to you Peter for making the Trip. We only live once and as the saying goes: Get busy living, or Get busy dying.
You have picked the perfect timing to go to Thailand! You said on your first video that saying all the hassle wasn't worth it.. well, I'm pretty sure you will have changed your mind once the jet lag and move to a better hotel. Keep us updated on prices of hotels as people will surely be jealous on the deals you may get on 4 or 5 star accommodation.. have fun😁
Absolutely!!
Enjoy your holiday Peter, you’ve earned it and properly worked your socks off for it.
Go enjoy yourself buddy 👍🏻
Thanks 👍
Handsome mannnn. You’re looking great Peter :) Wishing you a successful holiday
have fun 👍
great to see your there
I will now book my trip
Glad you got there ok and at least you have done the hard part now your free to enjoy your holiday looking forward to seeing your vds
That was my experience too and the cold food but for 16 days. That was with Ibis styles.
So Happy For You Too Make It Out There, I Hope You Have An Absolute Blast 😀...
Cheers Peter have a great trip mate 👍
Enjoy 🍻
It’ll be interesting to see what the differences are that you notice between Bangkok and Pattaya who from what I can understand are subject to the same restrictions. The authorities seem to be more strict in Pattaya.
We shall see
HIX Soi 11, one of my favorites. The manager is a beauty (4 years ago) and breakfast is also a feast for the eyes. Kostritzer at the German beer house.
Nice one Peter, just make sure you take plenty of time out for yourself too ok 👍
have a great time!
Peter... You lucky dog. Enjoy you time in Thailand .
Thanks for the update mr Peter.enjoy yourself 👍🏽take care
Going to do that walk along Soi 8 that we talked about tomorrow.
@@ThailandBound great stuff 👍🏻
Very very jealous that your in Bangkok mate !! I’ve got to wait till February, then I’m going for the whole of June next year , really looking forward to your outside Bangkok videoed mate, I need ideas of where to go in June in Bangkok !!
Thanks Pete. Looking forward to the Soi Cowboy bar's video
Coming soon!
I feel your pain Peter about jumping through all the hoops to get out to Thailand, I did it back in August for the Phuket sandbox but it was worth it in the end.
I agree about the strain on older guys. I want to travel, but get jittery just thinking of all that planning. Love Thailand, but Mexico seems much easier now. We will wait for your vds. Thanks.
Thanks Peter, it's nice to get real time info on things over there. by the way you pronounced Pattaya right the 1st time just ask any thai person, haha,
From one end of Thailand channel has a good vlog on how walking street is now at night in Pattaya!
Im there in 11 days time - thanks for the update.
Hi Pete,
Welcome back.
Looks like a bad choice for a test@go hotel.
We arrived on the 13th December and stayed at a different hotel at Terminal 21.
Excellent service: We were picked up at the airport. Test sample was taken at the hotel. After about 6 hours we got our negative results.
Food: we could chose between 5 dinner meals and also for breakfast.
Very professional and friendly staff.
Maybe, spending some more money is worth after such a long flight.
Luck it was for just one night.
@@ThailandBound Yup. So, let’s enjoy some drinks together.
Great work thanks.
Thank you too!
I walked through Soi Cowboy at 11pm Friday. Two weeks ago it was 100% closed. On Friday Country Road was open inside and out. Oasis restaurant was open. Baccara and Suzy Wong were open outside with about a dozen girls each. Kozy is open outside and has been for months pretending to be a restaurant. There was a pretty good crowd and a sense of normality at the places that were open but they were also surrounded by all the closed clubs.
I have just uploaded a video called "Boots on the Ground" you will see it is not dead in Bangkok.
@@ThailandBound I agree. I’ve been here in BKK throughout the pandemic. Enjoy.
Enjoy your vacation
Great update. Much appreciated. Are the hotels allowing their customers to have guests yet?
They all do but the budget hotels don't charge any extra.
Yeah have a chat session video with Trevor. That would be great to watch.. Enjoy your stay at Pattaya. Cheers mate
Are you there for 3 weeks? Pattaya soon. Lucky you . Have a great time. I am jealous. Stuck working and saving . For now.
Hope you really enjoy your holiday
Had 14 nights in Banglamoon Hospital all staff were IMO fantastic and I also had covid and neumonia . Lucky to still be here but Doctor's and nurse practitioners and all cleaners and administration team Fantastic.Hope you don't catch anything and use your mask's and gels. If I see ya il by you a 🍻. merry Xmas.Brilliant channel.
Great pleased, pleased you are enjoying it. If you get the chance come down to Rayon
Evening Peter. I am stuck in Soi 15 waiting for my results. I arrived this morning on the 6-30. OMG all the paperwork . . I missed my connection to Cambodia, that I asked you about last week, so have bought a new ticket for tomoz night. So 190 quid wasted. This hotel is OK and staff very helpful indeed.. My air-con is also super cold, and I am doing the same as you, lol. I had a split flight, on the first leg I was close to 2 people who had not had a shower recently, very smelly. The second leg, I was beside a chap who was large enough to need 2 seats, so I was rather cramped, trying to eat sideways. Enjoy.
Which hotel you going next - any chance of this video & hotel name ?
I am from the the states, you need to reclaim your space from the over eaters
Hi Peter. Thanks for the update..! I’m so sorry Mate but that breakfast looks very unpleasant...! Go out with Simon and treat yourself to a nice meal. Those lovely spicy Thai Clams will be great with a couple of cold beers. Salud Amigo.
I recently stayed in the Novotel Pratunam for test and go we could order room service and beers during our 24hour quarantee
You were really lucky
As of today, if you haven't already booked your "test and go" you have to do min 7 days quarantine.
How rigours was the visa process to get back into Thailand? I'm going through this at the moment and there seems to be a bit to it compared to the old & simple visa on arrival.
You haven't said where you were from Matthew but from the UK you don't need to apply in advance you'll end up the app low and you get a Visa exempt stamp for one month
Welcome to Thailand- enjoy yourself mate
Thanks for the update on Bangkok bar scene but,what some of us are wanting to know is how was the arrival experience at Suvarnabhumi?
Watch last upload called "JOURNEY TO BANGKOK, THAILAND AFTER 2 YEARS"
be safe my friend
I was at soy7 last night. Not very busy for a thursday evening, but lot of girls.
Hey Peter,Thanks for the update.
Question :
Do you think you’d have a different opinion if you were able to travel business class on your flight and perhaps a different hotel ?
Thanks!
Not really, will as even in 1st class you have to get through the airport
Thanks for the quick reply Peter !
I’m thinking about Thailand in mid January, will be anxious to get your thoughts after a week or two !
hi peter,could you tell me the pcr test 72hrs before you travel,is it a rt pcr test you got to have,also is it 72hrs before you fly or is it 7hrs before you land in thialand.
Yes rt
Hello again Peter. Something I just discovered. My test done at 9am this morning had a good result by 2pm. However, they do not tell the hotel till 8pm. Now, at 11pm, I went to reception to ask and it was there , but nobody told me, they print it out and put under your door later on. Had I not asked, I would not know till tomorrow morning !!! I could have left the hotel hours ago.
That is really bad, I would of been totally pissed!
Just look at it on a positive side. They probably wanted you to stay over night according to the 24 hr regulation.
Hi. If you make it to Rayong you are very welcome to join the gang at PMY shop bar. Most days, 4pm onwards.
Swadee kap Peter,I’m in Phuket I arrived 4 day’s ago living the dream mate!
Geeza whats it like in phuket trying to get there was there last left 1 week b4 lockdown march 20.
@@PaulSmith-yj6pj it’s a little bit quiet,but everything is open,great weather
Lived in Omni Tower on Nana back in the day, my local was Chequers when it was a closed bar.
Have you tried it Peter, any thoughts?
Peter I am coming to bkk on 28th then heading to KhonKaen, but will be in bkk at some point , I am there for 3 weeks so hope to catch up
Sounds cool Gordon
Sukhumvit soi 11? I like Grand President there (or Hotel Aloft). Very good Indian breakfast if that's your thing with good pools!
I am staying on soi 11 when I get there...29/dec/21. was looking at your hotel, I happy I passed.
Happy and really lucky
@@ThailandBound thanks...
hope to buy you a beer 🍺 soon mate.
Hey mate! I wanted to book same hotel you're staying. They charge an extra fee of 1500 bahts if you want a balcony. That's a big a rip off mate! I guess for a 1 night stay test and go it's fine...
I came really close to booking that same hotel but ended up going with the mercure right down the street instead. Hopefully it's better as it's a little more expensive and higher rated
If I could do it again I definitely book 1 with a balcony
That “food” though. That is why the windows are sealed; too many guests making a game out of what “food” bounces highest!.
Soi Cowboy is closed, except last 2, outside open servicing food.
Not true, watch my next video
A few places opened on Soi Cowboy this past week.
Hi Peter, wishing you an enjoyable and safe time in Thailand. Were you able to leave your hotel to go outside and enjoy the sights of Bangkok after you got your negative result, the reason I ask is I read on a forum someone said he was not allowed to leave the hotel to go and wander around after he got his negative result unless he checked out of the hotel.
Hi Baz, what you read is bull shit, once you get you negative result you can go out and any place .
I'll wait until April next year hopefully no quarantine by then.
Don't hold ya breath.
Hi Peter...I fly to Bangkok on Saturday. Please post if you'll be around to meet.
Will be in Bangkok until Sunday mate
I will be there in Bangkok 5th January can’t wait 😛
That's a daily return back to the UK
Pop into the A7 "Bistro" , in Pattaya Soi 7 with Nick & Martin
Hi Peter do you think I will be able to provide all the documents from phone alone or will I need paper copy's any advice appreciated.
You can but it takes loads longer. Printed copies loads easier and better if you can get them.
Hard copy's are what they want to see.
Thais love, and I mean, love, paperwork..in duplicate, triplicate and quadruplicate. It keeps their employment rate high.
Yes if I had not brought all my paperwork. I would still be in Manchester airport
When I was telling the Paris Desk that all you need is the Thailand pass on my phone.
They told me to stand to one side
So I showed them all the paperwork
It was The Staff at Manchester airport and Paris airport that wanted the Paperwork
At the Thai Airport it was easy
Glad you able to get out and about.. not sure why your still ordering or getting food at the hotel. Go out and eat
Hi peter im hoping to fly over in april hopefully more things change by then
Nice Peter !! I was to terminal 21 last night as well:))). Welcome to Bangkok 😄 So much fun. Do they serve Khronenbourg at the pubs ??🤔
Unfortunately no
@@ThailandBound So Nana plaza is open you said ? Never been there...I'm curios what time do they open ? Free beer if I see u around:)
How was the flight ?
