Can you get RT-PCR tests there too,?

@Suzanne **************

So sorry Suzanne. I've checked everywhere and No. What I can tell you is that you just swirl the swab in uour nose and not jam it all the way up your nose. My wife says we did it in nose and mouth, but I don't recall. Just in the nose I thought. Anyone elses?

Ha Ha Suzanne. Yes, we were given a plastic bag with some "stuff" in it for 2 people. After we got to our home I called up the hotel and asked what to do. As it turned out, maybe like you they gave us all the pieces but no instructions. I think they bought all the pieces separately, but not boxed kits. I prevailed upon the hotel on the phone to send us the instructions. I had to remind them quite candidly that they slipped up and it was their responsibility. They took a picture of the instructions and sent it to us. Between that and the internet we were able to work it out. We then took a picture of the results and emailed them back to the hotel.

We talked to hotel.as Morchana woudn't work. They said take pics of results with phone and send back. We did this and many others do the same.

Thanks Benjamin. Good idea. I will go down to their office and ask. Bye for now.

That is interesting and nice to know. We did the Extension on Dec. 21. Should we be okay do you think in heading south from our home in Udon? Hopefully they will come before we head out in early Jan.

Very nice of you to say that James! Thanks.

@Monti *******

Thanks Monti. That was very thorough of them. In the future it may be easier, but more expensive inititally to get the Retirement Visa. Thanls for all of the interesting detail. Mark

@Monti *******

Thanks Monti. We did have a Thai witness who came with us to the Immigration Office and attested that he knew us and it was legit. The officer said someone "may come" and visit us. I hope it is soon as we are heading south in early-mid January.

@James *******

No, I will not touch one baht of it. Thank you and Yes, I will pay the 1,000 Baht for a re-entry permit. Good to know.
