Short Notice Trip to the US from Thailand | What To Do When You Have a Family Emergency
Sometimes when you are in Thailand, things happen back at home that require your immediate attention. Sometimes it is necessary to travel back to your home country on short notice. This recently happened to me and I am going to share with you what I needed to do to travel back to the states on short notice from Thailand, from changing my flight to arranging for transportation from Hua Hin to the airport in Bangkok.
I show you the new Hua Hin bus station, I provide a link to 12go.asia/en. I introduce you to Starlux Airlines if you are not familiar with them and even show you how awesome it is to visit airport lounges.

In the video, I mentioned 12go.com to travel between destinations in Asia. I was wrong, the website is actually - 12go.asia/en
That bus station has been there for over 6 years, remember using it in 2018!
It's still called the New Hua Hin Bus Station... they probably need a newer one before they change the name 😀
Thanks
OMG!!! Anthony!!! Thank you!!! @anthonymoore7586
Has a safe trips friend.
Thank you.
You are a better man than me. No way I can fly this long. After 4 puny hours I am ready to LAND. 🤘🏻🇺🇸
I know... that's how I used to be. ZQuil helps a lot!!!
Nice video! You did make a hasty exit. Missed having lunch with you guys. I had to leave earlier than planned too. Arrived home this morning.
I did get my long term resident visa so i get fast track through immigration. That takes a little of the stress off when you see those long lines.
I saw you headed back as well. Looking forward to connecting again.
Hello Dave, I wish I was smart like you and Kim. I am hopeless with mobile phones and computers. My biggest problem is having a short fuse. When I got my son to book my flight from Perth to Koh samui. My flight arrives in Singapore at 11.30am but when he booked my flight from Singapore to Koh Samui. He accidently clicked on the 8.15pm flight. It was only a minute when I tried to change the flight to an earlier flight. The airline wanted $250 to change it, and $280 dollars for a window seat. What a rip off. So I made up my mind never to fly Singapore Airlines again.
We did have good luck with Singapore Airlines, but thatbwas during COVID. My dad just got his very first smart phone. Lots to learn.
Safe travels mate from Australia
Put house on market and hopping to be in Hua hin
acouple months looking forward to more info on huahin
And surrounding areas love were you live been checking it out on Webb
Got realestate looking as well
Safely arrived. Thanks. Good luck on the homemsale. If it doesn't sell consider renting it out to pay for your Thailand adventures.
@@AlmostRetiredinThailand thanks for advice I have no doubt it will sell got someone flying in front Queensland today to look at it
WoooHoooo #first
Woohoo... Thanks!!!
Yikes that's a long trip.
Is there health Insurance available for expats in Thailand ? If yes , is it expensive ??? Are the Doctors and hospitals modern ?
Medical tourism in Thailand is big, meaning people travel to Thailand for medical procedures. Kim has what we consider a good medical insurance policy and the cost is about $100 USD per month.
Doesn't sound like a bad trip at all.
I was more shocked I could have left the same day. I would say the biggest challenge of living in Thailand and being from the US is being about 9000 miles away and short notice needs.
Hi are you retired?
When you guys moved from Arizona to Thailand, did you have to do anything before leaving the USA. Any paperwork. Thanks
You need to apply for retirement visa :)
Thanks for the reply 🤙🏾🙏
How about banking did you keep your accounts open in the USA?
We have our accounts still in the US and opened one with Bangkok Bank to deposit the money for the Retirement visa. Also makes it easier to pay bills.
Was it a family emergency or banking emergency? I've heard bad stories about people having to go back to the states because of banking issues. Makes me nervous...
Had nothing to do with banking or business. This was a family thing that needed immediate attention. I don't love the word emergency, but something I needed to be back for on very short notice.
Hope everything ok
Mybeorry would be inability to communicate or read or understand the signage. Are most informative signs in English? Never traveled to Asia.
Almost never an issue and Thai people are so friendly and accommodating. Even when there is an issue, it is resolved by being g nice and smiling.
Buy a ticket and go home.
