Flying to Bangkok Thailand during the pandemic (EP.1) from Sydney Australia 2021

Join me as I make my way from Sydney to Bangkok (via Singapore) on Singapore Airlines during the current pandemic. Flight date 11th March 2021.
My name is Klaus (also go by Freddy), a former bean counter making up for lost time.
In 2018 I left the nine to five world to chase new experiences at home and abroad.
March 2020 comes along and the world stops, so did the ability to travel.
The global situation meant that I was to be separated from the mrs and little one for the next 12 months. As im wrting this I am in Hotel Quaratine in Bangkok, its March 2021 im back.
Why youtube? I need something to keep me occupied, keep me out of trouble ..
If anything ill have memories to look back on and if others enjoy watching then everyone's a winner. How long will I be here? no idea :) Im starting this channel from scratch, no experience, no ability and no expectations.
What could go wrong ..

When you are getting hot Ron, your name becomes Ron Hot. You nasty boy, putting that pen to paper

[@offthebeatenlife995]

Thanks for sharing! There's a chance I may be leaving the country in August, so good to get an idea of what to expect at the airport!

[@freddyjingjo]

Kool mate good luck with it 🙏

[@formerschoolguy1496]

I will be traveling from Sydney Airport back to Los Angeles in a few months. The first 6 minutes of this video was just what I needed. Thanks Freddy!

[@freddyjingjo]

Assuming you don’t need permission to leave Australia, flying back to LA should be a breeze. Airports and planes are empty.. and I guess arriving back to the states is simpler than entering Thailand :) (no quarantine etc)

[@user-ei3oo5es8q]

Thanks for come to Thailand

[@freddyjingjo]

My wife.. my life :)

[@markinthailand1201]

Thank you for sharing your experience, hopefully about to start down the OA visa process shortly, you have given many people hope, your video showed up as a random on my KZbin, glad it did, cheers 👍

[@peterhoppe1339]

Cool video bro! Must of been surreal at times. You got yourself a go pro??

[@freddyjingjo]

Yeah mate, finally pulled the trigger on a GoPro. Figured it was better to buy one in Australia as opposed to where I am now :)

[@russellcargill4580]

Hey mate cool vid and welcome to Thailand. I'm leaving from Aus next month on the STV visa. I'm a bit stuck with the travel/covid insurance required. Can you give insight to how you went about it? all other paper work is straight forward, although time consuming. Can't wait to be back in the land of smiles!

[@freddyjingjo]

Hey Russell, cheers. Have a look at this one mate. Covers all the requirements www.axa.co.th/axa-sawasdee-thailand-travel-insurance

[@est20249]

Helpful video! Would you please share how did you arrange your documents? Thank you a lot

[@est20249]

I mean the order of it, it would help us a lot.

[@freddyjingjo]

First you need to get approval from ABF to leave the country. Once you get that, the next steps are listed here bit.ly/3qZ7x2L Good luck

[@walidje16]

wish you had a camera at your thai trips before ;-)

[@freddyjingjo]

:)

[@koalanotbear]

Welcome to Thailand! Is this your first time in the country?

[@freddyjingjo]

Not the first, not the last :)

[@JJ-vy2rh]

Just found your channel how were you able to leave Australia at that time

[@freddyjingjo]

Back then had to apply for an exemption through Australian border force .. painful 😓

[@JJ-vy2rh]

@@freddyjingjo I reckon mate good luck with your journey, I hope to live in Cambodia

[@freddyjingjo]

@@JJ-vy2rh thank you 🙏

[@bazzahggh1477]

Is it hard to get flights back to Australia.

[@freddyjingjo]

Flew with Singapore airlines ✈️.. have a flexible return flight for that price. With coming back not sure now hard or easy it is .. don’t plan to return until at least I can fly back without the forced quarantine 👀 another quarantine wud be painful 😓

[@gibbs2799]

Too much paperwork. I'll wait till January 2022. No COE, no covid-19 insurance, no restrictions and cheaper costs.

[@freddyjingjo]

Painful process 😣

[@s.e.4788]

Hi, did the Australian immigration require you to have return ticket back home? My fiance is trying to book his ticket. Emae confused, as we only know that he needs to exit Thailand which he can do BKK - Singapore. Can you please share what you did? Thank you

[@freddyjingjo]

I didn’t really have a choice, booked return flight $1330 or so, but it’s flexible in terms of dates

[@s.e.4788]

@@freddyjingjo did they require you to have the return ticket exact,y back to Australia?

[@bazzahggh1477]

Who did you book flights with for that price

[@antonettebalasabas2214]

What papers did u prepare when leaving australia sir???

[@kathyhirsch379]

I thought we don't need a visa from Australia 😊

[@kathyhirsch379]

Did you had to take the jab to fly 😊

[@freddyjingjo]

No visa needed but at that time you needed permission to leave the country, brutal :( I didn’t get the jab until a year later (In Thailand) 🇹🇭
