Hi Matthew isn't this forum a good idea allowing us to get to know people before we go.

You're at the other end of the country to me, I'm up north near Durham. 

It's very exciting Thailand it looks amazing!

It does look amazing. Are you flying from Heathrow?  I am. It's the only hard part of the holiday getting to Heathrow from down here. But it's all part of the fun. 

Looking forward to meeting in person

Hi Matthew. Yes Heathrow Jan 12th. I'll be traveling down to London a few days before staying with my daughter, it breaks the journey up a little too. I just hope the trains aren't a nightmare! 

Has anyone else replied to you from the January group?

No one else yet. Well I guess we meet at Heathrow terminal 2 on the Sunday morning.

Hi Matthew/ Jools

 That would be great to meet up at Heathrow. I always dread going through foreign customs at the other end on my own.

Will all be going through customs together in Thailand we will all meet in the lounge at Heathrow anyway. in my experience with just you the past 2 holidays I've done I've bumped into people before check in Heathrow. You can see the Just you luggage tags on people's luggage. And if you wanted @61 Lyn with moderators permission we can exchange contact details and meet outside Heathrow and go through together

Hi @matthew tremlett and @61Lyn

We hope you're looking forward to meeting up at Heathrow, unfortunately we are not able to swap contact details of customers, so we would recommend meeting at the check in desk at an arranged time at which point you'll be able to swap details as you wish.

Best wishes,

Just You

Hi Matthew

I've just seen your message ( thanks , a very kind offer) and the reply from just you. Maybe If you're happy to make arrangements closer to we could meet at the check in desk? 

may I ask about travel money. Do people take the local currency or is it best to get it out there?

I would also like to know this. Can moderators give some advice or recommendations about how much to take or if it's easy to change when out there? 

Many thanks

Hiya I went to Thailand just before lock down, you will have a fab time and a ride on a tuk tuk is a must and an experience you will not forget (in a good way lol). I took Thai Baht (round about £400 but I was going for 14 days and I believe you are going for 10 day also, a Monzo bank card is a good one for exchange rates.  I can safely say your trip to the Elephant Nature Park is a memorible one as you actually walk amount the elephant.

Enjoy

Thanks Jackiemc 

I'll get some cash, I've got a bank card I can use abroad that will do for emergencies. 

the elephant nature park was one of my reasons for booking this trip it all look amazing though!
