I went for an expensive cover covid that includes ( I just had covid and am dead scared of getting it while OS on a visa exempt 30 days), both medical and trip disruption, as well as cover for a known medical condition and motor bike riding. Also has real people manning phones rather than email communication only. It was with Fast Cover, but if I wasn't turning 70 while away and feeling paranoid after going nowhere for 5 years, I'd have gone for a cheaper cover - 1cover or maybe something like Tick.

For a 30 day stay only, I would imagine the airport deals are about as good as you're going to get if you need a phone for immediate use on exiting the airport. It's a bit inconvenient having 1gb for only 24 hours then having to negotiate a short term plan.

Is it my question? In that case yes!

@Roberto ********

I am waiting for the definitive answer to it and have been for several years.

@Roberto ********

In the early lockdown period, people with a legitimate reason were able to leave, but not so easy later on.

What caused the check of your baggage, I have never been checked in 40 years going in and out of Thailand.

@Brett *****

Are you kidding? Thailand is as tight as a fish's arsehole regarding pain management and anxiety/depression/sleep medication. Cambodia is a totally different matter.

Thanks so much to everyone that responded. Really helpful responses from everyone which put my mind at rest. I really appreciate the advice and information. 😀

@Mike ******

They may well be dual language - I will ask today.

Thanks everybody. Much appreciated!
