Hi Clive, Iโ€™m also currently in the UK, and want to retire to Thailand when restrictions are lifted. Your beautiful Fathers Day message highlights the problem of so many families separated at this difficult time. Priority must be given to reunite families ASAP once Thailand opens its borders. Wishing you and your family are reunited together very soon. Best wishes, Mark

Sorry to hear this Clive. I hope that you can return to Thailand well before the New Year. Many countries are talking about offering swab tests at the arrival airports with results know within hours. Austria are already doing this. This will hopefully prevent the long and expensive 14 Day quarantine process. Keep positive mate.

I have a ten year old son and wife in Udon Thani that I probably won't be allowed to see until next year. Not my choice and I miss them both. ๐Ÿ˜ž
