Hello to you all (y'all if American!!)

I have been planning a trip to Thailand and am packed ready to flu in 2 weeks. I have travelled recently to Singapore then HCM, (late 22), then to Hanoi in summer 23. No problems. I had not been to Thailand for 10 years, and that was before my SOR and offence started. 

I had a call from my new PPU officer saying the Asean countries have set in place tighter control at borders for sex offenders. This devastated me as I was about to travel and I thought I can never travel to Asia again. It is such a wonderful part of the world, and I love making videos for my YouTube channel Harry's Happenings. It is a big part of my life. Well, the agreement was set in August 23 and it is called Project Guestship. There is zero on the net so I needed to see what the risk was. If I travelled and got denied entry and sent home, I would have to explain to friends, and that is not easy. It would destroy me if I had to tell people my crime back in 2016. Having a tag on the passport is the problem and draws attention to immigration. 

So I called Unlock.

The lovely guy explained the probability and of course, I knew the consequences, never to be able to visit Thailand in the future, and exposing my secret. So as my SOR expires in April 2026 he suggested I wait, and stay away from Asia, until then. So I was very relieved at this suggestion and it works.

So thank you whoever you were in calming a very emotional and upset guy, and showing me the way forward. I am 70 and love travelling to different cultures, to lose that would have been life changing.

All I have to do now, as I am not going (on the 16th jan 24) is to feign Covid the day before. that way, it is accepted I cannot go !!!
