Subject: Post: <p>This time we are taking the "getting stuck at Koh Tao" to an entirely new level. As corona situation in Finland doesn't seem to be too great, a lot of restrictions in place and both work and school are completely remote we decided we could just delay our return a bit. That would require changing the flight and handling the issue of our 30 day visa expiring actually a day before the original flight (although one day overstay is generally allowed).</p><p></p><p>So, the first thing to sort out is the visa. It can be extended another 30 days in an immigration office, and luckily one has been opened on Koh Tao in the last two years or so. In the morning we searched for a passport photo store, took photos for the visa application and visited the immigration office. It was actually rather quick, in some 15 minutes and 50eur per person we had new stamps in our passports, which would allow stay for another 30 days.</p><p></p><p>Now we just need to get hold of Finnair customer service somehow.. Their chat is busy, their phone service is busy.. Well, there's a Thai number for the customer service which we could try in the morning. Yesterday I actually managed to contact the chat and they confirmed the flight change is free of charge, so I think we will be changing the flight to 05.02. or 12.02. if we can find an agent to speak to.</p><p></p><p>In other news, I did some diving while Iryna was writing her school essay. Nothing special again, but good easy dives on current-free and peaceful dive sites near the island.</p> Latitude: Longitude: Security Code:
