Visa

Well...we did not sit on the plane in 6  hours and 23 minutes (as I wrote in my last post). We were in the S-bahn on the way home. It turns out, Romanian pass holders are not allowed to stay in Thailand more than 15 days...and our return ticket was after 26 days. I almost had a heart attack after receiving the news. I couldn't believe it, as we checked this visa issue on the internet and I was absolutely sure I am allowed to stay in Thailand for 30 days. But well... surprise, surprise! After recovering from the shock we started analysing the 2 options, even though we knew one thing: we will have to buy another ticket.

Option 1: Fly on that day and stay only for 15 days and buy the return ticket for an earlier date.
Option 2: Fly later with a new ticket, and try to sort out the Visa problem as soon as possible and return on the date we were supposed to.

We choose option 2 and I am glad we did. Still, I can't describe the disappointment I felt until I did not have the visa in my pass. Because the day we were supposed to fly was a Saturday, we had to wait until Monday to go to the Consulate for the Visa. The whole visa thing was a 10 minute action...it was easier than i thought and I was very very angry with myself that i did not go there and talked to the people personaly before our holiday, instead of reading some pages on the internet.


After received the visa, we went home and booked our flight for the same day...not for Bangkok though (no flights that day)  but for Phuket.

So, these are the moments when I truly believe this:
"How to make God laugh? Tell Him your future plans."
