Just a wee update as I’m home now and just took sterling notes.

They prefer larger denominations and they want brand new pristine condition notes, they check every one. The exchange rate was good though 😊

Clinivate from the chemist in Thailand is fabulous, takes the itch out and heals the bite really quickly. It has antibiotic and hydrocortisone in it. I stock up when I’m there because it’s great for so many things when I get home too 😊

I took sterling notes with me, it was easy to change and I got a good rate, they just want the notes to be in pristine condition .

I’m just back from Phuket

I just flew back to uk on Friday with emirates. They just asked for everything you needed to return to uk so no pcr but confirmation you had booked your day two test which you had to have for your passenger locator form for returning to uk😊

We flew in to Phuket yesterday. Everything was so well organised, if you are organised and have everything in place and printed out (at least two of everything) we went through the whole process from getting of plane to pcr and connecting with our transfer in less than an hour. We got our results in less than 5 hours.

All the stress just faded when we got our results 🥳

Happy new year 🥳

So nice to hear some positive experiences 🥰. I’m keeping my 🤞🏽for travel on 3rd 🥰

I think some people are forgetting it takes time to get everything together, take photos etc. the actual uploading was ok for us but getting insurance on one page and getting the exact shot of qr codes etc definitely took time. Maybe depends on time of day too and how good your broadband is😊

@Stuart ********

thanks so much. I have an fx card so I might use that 😊

Zineb Soulami I’m not sure, I just read the advice from people on here and I used my phone camera for everything and uploaded it all that way. I think th biggest thing is to use the qr code on your paper copy of your vaccine letter
