From Sweden to south east asia may 2020

[EdrigoSalvadore]

I am working from home in Sweden, with a snow storm outside and nothing fun going on, and I am watching travelers on youtube having the time of their life all around south east asia. I am thinking, is there any country which it would be possible for me to travel to in may 2020? I would not mind a 2 week quarantine in the country of chose.

 

I am thinking about countries such as Thailand, Philippines, Vietnam, Sri Lanka, Cambodia. Maybe even Malaysia or Indonesia.

Is it possible? Seems like a dream to spend half a year working from abroad near to the ocean.

I can get a doctors note easily, if it helps.

Thanks

Check out Vietnam. It has started to lift some restrictions today.

What for?  A mental disorder???  Get real.  No country in S.E. Asia is in the mood to welcome foreigners right now, especially from Sweden, where social distancing etc seems to have taken a back seat.

The most famous norwegian youtuber are in sri lanka now. It looks really nice.

[OneeyedJohn]

get a round the world ticket and have 14 day 'holidays' at each stop off.

Where in Sweden are you as it was 20 degrees and a beautiful spring day in Stockholm today. 

 

I'm also in Sweden right now and it's pretty good here, no lockdown. 

S. E. Asia is closed for business. 

It's not only 14 quarantine, bars, restaurants, shopping closed. 

You can't even go out after curfew. 

 

Even if you manage to get a doctor certification for travel you can't get any travel insurance as the Swedish state department has warned for travel. 

This means that if you get sick be prepared for one million kroner in medical costs.

Thailand is not an option, even Thais have difficulties entering their own country at this point.
And as others have pointed out, this is not the time to visit SEA.

Thailand MAY be an option after 1 May as the Prime Minister is considering opening the Country up again.  Koh Samui, which is a lovely Island on the Eastern Seaboard is a great place to visit.  Quite a few of the costal places are closed and Visitors are not even allowed to walk along the beaches, however, that is not the case here, providing people wear face masks and respect the social distancing, you can wander around to your hearts delight, or rent a motor bike and have a cruise around the Island.  If you would like to come here, PM me and I would be more than happy to help you.  Stay well and stay safe!

So you're in Sweden in a snow storm?

 

 

 

 

Is that Trollhavn by any chance?

Our borders are open! Fly to the UK and bring a new virus strain with you so that we have to go through the whole lockdown procedure again.

Can't really think of anywhere to travel to from Sweden in May 2020, presume Sweden will be flashing red alert risk zone...⛔

Don't count on Thailand in May, but perhaps later; Cambodia or Vietnam might be best options...????

Are you in tourist industry? 

Encourage someone from Sweden to visit? Look at Sweden's death toll.

At least its not snowing in Hau hin, enjoy the sun.

I live in Thailand full time, have retirement visa and business in Pattaya, came back to UK at beginning of March for 2 weeks, had ticket to fly back end March plus covid 19 test that shows clear, plus fit to fly cert and all necessary insurance but airline would still not let me fly. Stuck in UK now isolating until boarders open. Could be worse the sun is shining ,im covid free, good food to eat and no alcohol bans. what more does a man want. Oh yeah, his Thai girl on his arm.  Stay safe everyone it won't last forever.

" . . . what do you mean when you say 'our borders are open'?"

 

Perhaps surprisingly, the UK has imposed no additional entry restrictions due to the epidemic. Fly to London from New York, no problem, if there are flights.

 

But it has put the country into a type of lock-down, and that's a strong deterrent to travel.

Vietnam were one of the first to have everyone enter 14-day mandatory quarantine and state-provided facilities (not hotels) before they stopped issuing visas and then banned flights. Their public health system is fragile so they will be among the last to re-open I reckon.

 

Cambodia... probably only if you can get a direct flight with no stopovers.

You can see where on the map I was when creating the post.

Phuket airport just closed again because of 1 case! If they keep that policy, there won't be any foreigners allowed in untill 2023.
