Short Trip to Taiwan

Do you have a Cambodian trip report you want to share? Post it here, and feel free to link to your blog if it's a travel blog for Cambodia, South East Asia, or anywhere really. You can ask and answer questions about travel advice in Cambodia or just share your pictures and videos with us. Most people who live in or visit Cambodia have also checked out nearby countries like Vietnam, Thailand, Laos, Myanmar, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines, and you can get to most of these countries by traveling overland, so put any travel plans, reviews or questions here. Discussions about dirt bike trails in here as well.

A very important thing I forgot to share at the beginning. Covid entry requirement.

ZERO!

Theres nothing they check and require since checking in at the Suvarnabhumi Airport to leaving the Taoyuan Airport. Only thing is you will be given a box like this:

Inside contains 4 sets of covid antigen test kits

which they recommend you to do 1 as soon as possible within the day of arrival and then another the next day before you leave home/hotel. You don't have to report anything at all. So its as good as "up to you". Well, being a good boy I followed

and the result was

As this is a very short trip I had on two full days to work, Tuesday and today. So for this trip did not expect any free time for sightseeing or photos of scenery. Tomorrow morning will be on our way to Taoyuan and then back to Bangkok in the afternoon.

I was in an industrial area these two days. Yesterday after the morning work the locals brought me to a local restaurant popular for serving mutton (meat from local goats).
