Finished  Quarantine Yesterday. Came outside in Buriram, and hey, I know nothing. I speak Taxi Thai and have a Thai wife. 

Can you guys give me some ideas as to;

Restaurants, Thai and others, like Mexican, seafood or American steakhouse?

Places where Expats hang out. I have several Clancy and other books to give away.

Anything else you might think I would like to know.

Thanks so much

My family of 5 drove from Pathum Thani with many bins and luggage in our 2 pu trucks. We are moving. Another large truck has all our furniture and left earlier to storage. Well tarped for rain. 6hours on the road. No road blocks.

Arrived around 6pm and headed to the hospital for our tests. I went thru Q in BKK in June and was tested 4 times from entry until release.

This time the Buriram hospital was VERY serious. Filled out multiple papers and all the personnel was well protected. My farang charge was 600 BT. In talking to the nurse I was told Thai's were free. I noticed my wife was passing several 1000 Baht notes thru the cashier window. Later she told me Thai's had to also pay? Interesting. No one has said anything about further tests.

It took several hours to get everyone tested. Our 2 dogs went to stay with a friend. We went to eat at the market and my wife said not to talk

out loud about our journey, since we were not cleared yet. 

We next had to go to Temple to clear for something like immigration?

By now it was 9 pm. Everyone at the Temple was asleep. Some were Q there. After several photos of our IDs and PP and filling out and signing several papers in Thai we were released to go to our hotel to Q for 14 days. We began getting Texted from Buriram hospital that we all were negative. 10:30pm now. Arrived at hotel and lift was out of order!! WE were placed on the 3rd floor! 

We began to bring up our bags and bins. Some very heavy. For some reason we were halted half way and told to stay in our room now. We didn't have all our stuff yet!!

 Myself and Wife and 11 yr old son in one room and 20 yr old stepson and girlfriend next door. A long table and security tape at eye level were placed across our front door! We fortunately, were able to order food thru the family and not all meals from local restaurants. We cannot go out.

We have 11 days to go.
