Almost 2 years have passed so do you look back on this now and laugh? Found your channel a few days ago and I am binge watching. Great stuff. For the record you are not a jerk its just that the world is upside down.
Tough luck Eddie & haven't travelled yet under current Bo**ox conditions. had luggage issues 1 time with Cuba (bag with clothes arrived 24hrs later from Canada) but current situation is a whole new level of BS. best of luck & hope things work out smoothly for you.
I feel ya, I was denied boarding in Mexico because of PCR test would have reached the 4th day by the time of arriving to Europe. It feels like the whole world is crumbling down at the moment but its just part of life unfortunately.
Brilliant! Eddie you made me laugh out loud in the coffee shop and people are looking at me like I’m a nutter. Love your honesty and the ability to have a laugh at your own expense…. We’ve all been there mate, I turned up to an airport in Fiji for a flight to the Cook Islands and I was a week late! We all make mistakes no matter how well traveled we are, I’ve been to 109 countries and I still sit in the wrong seat on the plane. Don’t sweat it mate, use this time to do some livestreams and we can all have a laugh .
Great videos of Greece/Turkey Ed, S.E Asia fan here & going to be in India 2022. Sorry to hear you couldn’t board your flight, watching you out & about shooting videos was the reason I’ve decided it’s time to start traveling again, be safe & looking forward to more videos/streams.
I don't know what a passenger location form is. I flew to New York 2 weeks ago and next month will be Las Vegas. I'm lucky to be in a large country and live in the large state of Texas.
I feel for you , i live in Thailand but now in the UK for a holiday am waiting to go back to Thailand but every other day the thai government seem to change what you need to do , am due to fly back on 17 nov but now its we going to change to thai pass not the COE but maybe thai pass not ready, also maybe only need do 1 day but maybe it still be 7 day its a right shit show
Steady Eddy! I never heard of a "passenger locator form" and I've been traveling for over a decade. Calm down and then drink at least some good strong liquor. I had to replace a transmission earlier this year so I know how it feels to lose thousands of dollars. Good luck!
A passenger locator form is a new requirement for the covid era. You just have to list your details before you can travel to a country. For the UK you need to include the booking reference of your Day 2 test.
I wouldn't worry too much Eddie. The situations I have found myself in over the years missing flights whilst travelling independently are ridiculous, but I prevailed and always found a way to recover. My best one was flying from Cebu to Manila and having 7 hours to kill in Manila before my flight to Bangkok. The 7 hours resulted in me picking a girl up in Malate, getting pissed with her then missing my Bangkok flight with my flight back to the UK the following evening. I spent the rest of the night scouring the internet for a one-way ticket back to Bangkok and finding one at 5am departing NAIA at 0830 meaning an online booking wasn't possible which mean't grabing my bag, half cut in a taxi to the airport to pay in cash at the PAL airline desk and hoping that last remaining ticket didn't get sold in between. Somehow I made that PAL flight and my flight back to the UK too! Good luck Eddie!!
Steady Eddie! Top Bloke! Travel is getting to be a pain nowadays. Once you just needed a ticket and your passport - now they want your life story and to carry a tracker at all times! Blimey! I am going to try a run out to Hua Hin next month so will let you know how I get on. Keep your chin up, you've had some sunshine and its gonna be cold when you get home pal....Have a beer and relax, Lindsay
Bad luck mate .... I have never had a issue of my own making.... but have had a few missed connecting flights due to air lines not able to stick to there time tables... I now never book connecting domestic flights till I am in the country ...
Hello Ed. Came back from Spain on Saturday and I had to fill that form in and you had to put the reference number for your day 2 test down. You can only fill it only 48 hours before you fly . Go and have a beer and chill take care
Chin up mate, tomorrow is another day as you said. None of us are perfect and we all make silly mistakes from time to time mate. Hope you enjoyed your nightcap👍
Hi Eddie, over the next couple of critical months really looking forward to your practical assessment of the travel situation. You seem to have a knack at putting forward a level-headed opinion of all the hoops we need to jump through to get back out to S.E. Asia. Many of us are particularly interested in your analysis of visa options, should someone wish to stay out there for 3 or 4+ months, particularly considering possible border hopping difficulties. Cheers, Archie
I am sorry to hear, Eddie. I had many things happening to me during my travel. I actually missed the flight three times. I was tricked out of my passport by a couple of corrupt cops in Budapest just as I was driving to the terminal once, then it was the taxi driver and yet another time it was actually the airline flight attendant who didn't know the rules. The last one was an easy fix, the first one was a complete pain, it set me back by a grand of pre-inflation money, not to mention all the hassle and four days lost. Cheer up! Things happen.
Ed. Don't worry about it, you'll get home. Many thanks for your great vids these latest ones you've done have been so great to watch. Chin up mate, your not missing much back here!
Chin up Ed, I once tried to board a plane from Bangkok to Perth (Australia) and wasn't allowed on as didn't have a Visa (I'm UK citizen) attempted to get one online in the airport but the Aussie government server kept crashing so couldn't get one so missed the flight, big expense. P.s no one I knew in UK or Aus knew I needed one, my fault for not checking, hope you had a few beers, as I did !
Hi Eddy,think positive.At least you had a great holiday and you have thousands of your sympathetic viewers listening to your rant and giving you words of comforts.Most of us have no one to let off steam and just made do with some hard liquor to drown the sorrows!
Bugger Ed. I know it's a massive kick in the balls but it really isn't the end of the world mate. As hard as it is you need to put it behind ya. What's done is done. A drink or 10 will help. All the best mate..... you'll be home soon enough.
I have to tell you there is not a lot to come back for! Absolutely pissed down all night long last night still raining at 9am. Welcome back to the first frost of autumn tonight! :)
All part of the journey Eddie. The sooner you are back in Thailand, the better. Your natural habitat. You wouldn't mind missing a flight there old son. Lol.
Just came back from Spain and had to do the passenger location form, they contacted me yesterday, somebody on the plane had Covid, had to do a test last night and have to self isolate even though test came up negative, crazy stuff involving travel now,
Ed, don't be so hard on yourself, shit happens!! I didn't even know of a Passenger Location Form??? I never needed that when I went to Thailand I think. You had a great time. Fuck the extra money you spent, you made great memories!!! Think positive and think of getting back to Thailand where you belong with all those nice honeys haha, have a safe trip home, these videos of this past vacation were fantastic!!!
I forgot the form as well and the girl at check in at Split airport said i couldn't board, luckily had phone with me and just filled it out there and then at the check in desk. Showed her my confirmation of completed form and she checked me in.
You are a famous face these days Ed. Perhaps the woman didn’t go the extra yard to help you because she had seen your “ how much is a shag in Cambodia “ fantastic vlog that helped so many. Women can be funny like that Ed.
Traveling is hard work at the minute Ed. I’m traveling between Spain and Ireland and between covid tests and location forms and the rest it’s a pain. Second jab next week will make it easier but it’s been a ball ache. Feel the pain mate
How things change, many many years ago I had a flight British airways got my dates mixed up by a day Jan 4th I went to the airport Jan 5th hungover, times the same, turned up a day late for the flight, well they let me on the flight no charge, how things have changed no way that could happen these days.
My PLF caused me trouble today because the laptop camera would not read the QR code on my vaccine certificate. It buggered up the whole last evening. I feel your pain.
I’m so sorry Mate that you had such a terrible confusion. I feeling the pain Eddy. Unfortunately too much red tape to travelling those days. I’m just reading about the Thailand reopening rules. Definitely moving in the right direction but I guess for many people will be way still too complicated. Thai insurance....! Health apps...! Trace apps and PCR tests...! Personally I think I will wait to see how things will develop. Anyway Mate best wishes to you and have a safe trip back to England. Hope everything goes well this time
Hi Ed. I've just popped over to Oludinez. I've been over the other side in Celis for last few weeks. One question did you need PCR test prior to flying back to UK. I didn't need one to fly to Dalaman as double jabbed?
Oh yes good reminder about the PLF. I know I have to do one for UK but 100% it would have slipped my mind. Its not about us being UK citizens..Its just rapid track and trace if someone gets hit with the unmentionable on your flight on the 2 day PCR test.
Eddie i traveled over to the uk last month from Ireland, i never had to do a locator form for England but had to fill out an online one with gov.ie for my return journey. Maybe you would be better of online as you would receive email confirmation
In 2014 I was going from SFO to bkk. I live in Nevada. My friend called and said my flight was at night, not tomorrow, as I thought. That 0O.OO. to thing. So my friend drove me in time for the flight. 4 hour drive. Now with all the added confusions I think I will need a nurse to guide me thru. I remember when a flight was like a bus ticket. Buy ticket, get on board.
Get yourself a crisp heineken eddy. I had the same issues at kiev airport coming back to dublin. Had to complete the passenger locator form on my phone whilst a ryanair staff member was hovering over me. This corona is a nightmare with the absolute nonsense hassle its created.
The Wuflu is working its magic. International travel is discouraged under the New Normal, the hassle will escalate until finally we are begging the government to make laws preventing travel and so relieve us of the frustration.
Hey Eddie. I don’t care what somebody’s bloody Chihuahua says, I don’t know what a damn Passenger Locator Form is either. So I would probably forget it, just like you. I never needed one when I went to Columbia last January. Just go easy on yourself and make the best of it. Time (and a few stiff drinks) will heal all wounds. Cheers my friend!
Hey Eddie, Unfortunately these days you have to have the gov.u.k app on your phone, and keep checking entry requirements as they are changing constantly👍 More time to sit on the beaches looking at the peaches 😁
hi Ed, sorry to hear about your troubles, so where do you get this passenger locator form from? so the problem was they couldn't send a confirmation text to your phone? I don't understand, your latest vlog was magnificent by the way with your cable car ride to the top of the mountain, cheers mate!
It's a bloody nuisance that's for sure, your idea of having a couple of drinks will soon get you back to on form, then it's just a matter of focusing on your next Thailand trip once this gets the gears rolling you will easily put this little mess around behind you Ed. Cheers Terry
Welcome to travel in 2021. It's just a little hiccup, like you said who hasn't had a little drama when travelling. Enjoy those few days, chin up mate 👍 cheers!
Having not got that flight back to the UK Eddie you may be your saving grace if you still want to go to Thailand. I doubt the UK will be on Thailand's green list for long given the increased infection rates there, likewise Turkey is not on the 1 November Green Entry too, and you would need to be in another country that is for at lease 21 day's. Id suggest heading for Abu-Dubai for 21 days, then head directly over to Thailand afterwards.
know the feeling mate I had similar when flying to Thailand a couple of months ago because I got a PCR test result on my phone that would not show up outside Europe and I had to do another test in Dubai before they would let me fly on and I was still in transit but o no because I got off one plane onto another needed to show it again. But it did get sorted.
Walking on the beaches looking at the peaches :) another line from that Stranglers song. Don't beat yourself up too much Eddie, you're not the first person to have done that, or the last.
Them return tests are bollocks I've been to Holland 4 times and Ireland 3 in last 2 years. When I've returned my test pack I've provided samples of helmet cheese and a bit of bum sweat. The results were always negative apart from one time when i spilt the sample tube of the solution so i filled it with Henry Westons cider. The result came back inconclusive.
I missed a flight about 3 years ago. For some reason I had it fixed in my head that the departure time was the check in time. Thailand up to 67 Million doses now & still on course for hitting the 100 Million = 70% = Herd Immunity by start of December. NDTVi Nick said he reckons 60% of the Pattaya Bars have closed which IMO is about what was needed to get rid of as it has had far to many for far to long & I am sure you will have seen the state of Walking Street which looks like Toxeth after the riots. All of which is another reason to get out & visit a bit of none Tourist Thailand & where the Thai Tourists go as the effects of the Pandemic are a lot less in those places.
You can't just travel around Thailand even when it 'opens' only the dedicated green zones, and it's a nightmare getting documents. Plus still one nights quarantine.
@@wanderer299a Ah but the say 17 Provinces will open on 1st Nov, then another 16 on 1st Dec & the rest or at least most of them on 1st Jan & Eddy is not planing on coming till Jan.
They have made travel extremely hard . It was a nightmare getting my son back to the UK after the Vietnamese government said they was not extending any more Foreigners visas. You have to have a smartphone nowadays with a track and trace application on it , and proof of your 2 jabs .
@@supersonicsid5930 Sid,,,,fat isn’t interested in your comments or the fact your more knowledgeable than him,,,,,go on take him to task on the $50 5 star hotels in vn ,,as if,,,why do think this moron has his own thread on Eli’s forum

Own it. Embrace it. Look for only the positives and laugh at yourself. Made many mistakes in life and will make many more but learning to process it and move on fast is the best medicine. I nearly forgot to fill out passenger locator form coming back from greece last month. Bloke at hotel as i was leaving for airport reminded me and i done it on the bus. Good luck mate and dont stress.
Hi Eddie. Really sorry about you missing your flight mate due to these crazy travelling rules now. I just want to tell you that so many of us are learning from you. You are really helping us so called 'experienced traveler's' get back on the horse. It's not all about nice wine and pork chops n chips, this is real travelling. Thanks Eddie. 👍
Exactly the Reason Not to Travel at this time . Too Much of a Ballache .
Almost 2 years have passed so do you look back on this now and laugh? Found your channel a few days ago and I am binge watching. Great stuff. For the record you are not a jerk its just that the world is upside down.
Good to hear from you
Hey Eddy, on the plus side the video and audio quality of this latest installment is the best quality yet!
Good to hear that.
What the hell is a Passenger Locator form? I have never heard of this.
"I spoke to people in bars and they said all I need is...." I think thats your problem right there.
Awesome drama, captured in the minute by someone at the moment it occurs. The author's real emotion's and feeling's.
you saw it, we saw it, raw drama unfoldinding as he spoke
Tough luck Eddie & haven't travelled yet under current Bo**ox conditions. had luggage issues 1 time with Cuba (bag with clothes arrived 24hrs later from Canada) but current situation is a whole new level of BS. best of luck & hope things work out smoothly for you.
In pattaya I 4 got 2 add a bar opposite the areca Lodge my favourite. Bar.in pattaya .?
I think even Kev in Thailand reviewed that place.
Go Cambodia, they did open 19 TH October for travel ( no idea about requirements though).
That's a good reason to have a drink, Eddie! You deserve one for going through all that.
I feel ya, I was denied boarding in Mexico because of PCR test would have reached the 4th day by the time of arriving to Europe. It feels like the whole world is crumbling down at the moment but its just part of life unfortunately.

Bloody hell a passenger locator form to go to your home country.
That Sux's Ed🤟. 🍺🥃
passenger locator form for anywhere never mind your own country,The whole thing was absolute Tyranny that would have made the Nazis blush.

You’re coming back?, thought you were having a longer tour .Hope everything turns) turned out right for you .
Hope you got things sorted Eddie. Travel always brings surprises -sometimes not good ones sadly! Take care mate. Cheers.
Hi Eddie, over the next couple of critical months really looking forward to your practical assessment of the travel situation. You seem to have a knack at putting forward a level-headed opinion of all the hoops we need to jump through to get back out to S.E. Asia.

Nice one Ed . Take care . Hope to see you in Thailand February
Ive been stuck on the magic bus in 87 from London to Athens. It took a week. Stuck in the snow above Zagreb for two days. Try that one Eddie. ✌️
I am sorry to hear, Eddie. I had many things happening to me during my travel. I actually missed the flight three times. I was tricked out of my passport by a couple of corrupt cops in Budapest just as I was driving to the terminal once, then it was the taxi driver and yet another time it was actually the airline flight attendant who didn't know the rules. The last one was an easy fix, the first one was a complete pain, it set me back by a grand of pre-inflation money, not to mention all the hassle and four days lost. Cheer up! Things happen.
Hang in there, Eddie! You're the man !
I won't be travelling abroad this year. Too much hassle in 2021. Hope you get home soon.
Every thing is a nightmare regards travelling, it’s so sad now mate ! Are you coming home and get ready for Thailand ! 😊
Ed. Don't worry about it, you'll get home. Many thanks for your great vids these latest ones you've done have been so great to watch. Chin up mate, your not missing much back here!

Having not got that flight back to the UK Eddie you may be your saving grace if you still want to go to Thailand. I doubt the UK will be on Thailand's green list for long given the increased infection rates there, likewise Turkey is not on the 1 November Green Entry too, and you would need to be in another country that is for at lease 21 day's. Id suggest heading for Abu-Dubai for 21 days, then head directly over to Thailand afterwards.
Thanks for your info
Hows your suitcase?
Travelling us indeed a ball ache these days, stay calm and sink a few cold ones mate and enjoy a few extra days on the beach, all the best
Book another day 2 test as well mate, the passenger locator form will ask for the reference number of that test or won't let you complete the form.
know the feeling mate I had similar when flying to Thailand a couple of months ago because I got a PCR test result on my phone that would not show up outside Europe and I had to do another test in Dubai before they would let me fly on and I was still in transit but o no because I got off one plane onto another needed to show it again.

Sorry to hear mate. Stay positive Eddie. Asia is just around the corner now. Take care.
Thanks, Andrew. Hope you're having a great time

Steady Eddie is a Stranglers fan!?! Love it! Keep your chin up mate, shit happens. Hope it all works out OK.
Them return tests are bollocks I've been to Holland 4 times and Ireland 3 in last 2 years. When I've returned my test pack I've provided samples of helmet cheese and a bit of bum sweat. The results were always negative apart from one time when i spilt the sample tube of the solution so i filled it with Henry Westons cider. The result came back inconclusive.
Don't worry about it Eddie setbacks happen to everyone! Bumped into you in Crete near the beach in chania. Safe travels home 👍
Thanks, Terry.
Oh god Eddy! Keep smiling mate.
I missed a flight about 3 years ago. For some reason I had it fixed in my head that the departure time was the check in time. Thailand up to 67 Million doses now & still on course for hitting the 100 Million = 70% = Herd Immunity by start of December. NDTVi Nick said he reckons 60% of the Pattaya Bars have closed which IMO is about what was needed to get rid of as it has had far to many for far to long & I am sure you will have seen the state of Walking Street which looks like Toxeth after the riots. All of which is another reason to get out & visit a bit of none Tourist Thailand & where the Thai Tourists go as the effects of the Pandemic are a lot less in those places.
Think Cambodia might be open. Not sure. Thailand still messing with tourism.
You can't just travel around Thailand even when it 'opens' only the dedicated green zones, and it's a nightmare getting documents. Plus still one nights quarantine.
@@wanderer299a Ah but the say 17 Provinces will open on 1st Nov, then another 16 on 1st Dec & the rest or at least most of them on 1st Jan & Eddy is not planing on coming till Jan.
Part of Cambodia opening is you have to leave a $1,000 deposit to enter.
It will be interesting to see first hand what Pattaya really looks like if we can get out there this winter. Always like to here your info, mate.
They have made travel extremely hard . It was a nightmare getting my son back to the UK after the Vietnamese government said they was not extending any more Foreigners visas. You have to have a smartphone nowadays with a track and trace application on it , and proof of your 2 jabs .

Chin up Ed. Have a few beers mate and look forward to better times. Hope you can make it home real soon
man this paperwork is rubbish and unnecesary
Oh well Eddy, shit happens. We roll with it, right? You're safe and you got money for another 🍺 beer 👍. Be well brother!
It’s a friggin nightmare to travel , I feel for you
Own it. Embrace it. Look for only the positives and laugh at yourself. Made many mistakes in life and will make many more but learning to process it and move on fast is the best medicine.
I nearly forgot to fill out passenger locator form coming back from greece last month. Bloke at hotel as i was leaving for airport reminded me and i done it on the bus.
Good luck mate and dont stress.
Come to San Cristobal Mexico I just rented an apt til March 15th 👌
Good for you, Philip. Sounds good.
@@STEADY599 stay safe Eddie 👌
Hi Eddie. Really sorry about you missing your flight mate due to these crazy travelling rules now. I just want to tell you that so many of us are learning from you. You are really helping us so called 'experienced traveler's' get back on the horse. It's not all about nice wine and pork chops n chips, this is real travelling. Thanks Eddie. 👍
Thanks for that
If you fail to prepare, you prepare to fail
Things could be worse, Eddie. 7°C here in Derbyshire. Winter's on its way.
You just nailed it
You said: I spoke to people in bars” 🤣🤣🤣
Come on Eddie don’t listen to experts in bars, do you research properly
