Thailand and Laos 2020

We are going to Thailand again in the winter of 2019/2020.
Usually we go early, in December or January, but Pia would like to be in Thailand on April 13 because there is a memorial for her deceased close family in Wat Soong, the local temple.
It works out well for Tom because then the hay fever time in the Netherlands is almost over when he returns.
We will see how it goes with the warm period in Thailand.

When we are in Thailand, a new type of flu breaks out that will later be called Covid-19. It turns out to be a highly contagious and also a very dangerous virus that quickly kills all over the world.
Whole countries close their borders to foreigners, public life in many countries is virtually silent, parts of countries are hermetically sealed.
As a result, after our booked return trip is canceled, we leave earlier for the Netherlands. We have to buy new tickets for that, and that flight is also canceled. But in the end we come home two weeks earlier than planned.
