the itinerary was almost a catastrophe..it appears my travel agent (based in New Jersey (business class deals) and I were learning on the go. He booked me a flight from Vancouver, Tokyo, BANGKOK - Phuket...while I was doing some DD I learned that landing in Bangkok meant that I would have to quarantine there, even if it is a layover. (FIRST LANDING IN THAILAND MEANS YOU HAVE TO STAY THERE FOR 14 DAYS). I would have been effed. The travel agent didn't know this. krimy. Anyways, he found me a flight that goes Vancouver, Taipei, Kuala Lumpur, Phuket.
