Thanks for the information,
Yes I still have my 800,000 Baht, unfortunately my wife was on a dependence visa that appears to be impossible to do in the country so she'll have to have her own 800K.
Covid has a lot o answer for ..........
I'll be arriving in Chiang Mai on a 30 day visa free entry that I want to change as soon as possible to a Non-O visa due to retirement.
Can I make a booking with Chiang Mai immigration or do I just have to turn up and queue?
I can see the option for retirement purpose but not for change of Visa
Just pre Covid the train did not cross the Malaysian border, I think Malaysia has upgraded their track to standard gauge and Thailand is still narrow gauge. We have to get the Thailand train to the border (book your tickets), go through emigration and immigration on the platform and wait for the Malaysian train buying the ticket in the station. They run quite frequently.
