Is not it $35 per entry?

It was always available (even in April when it was free) unless you had too many tourist visas in the passport...

EDIT: I meant ...in March when it was free...

Worth noting that if your PayPal payments are on US$ or other currency you have to exchange into THB before you transfer, and can only transfer to a THB account.

and Paypal exchange rates really suck...

Get the SMS alert added, its FREE

just a small correction, it is not free, 20 or 30 baht per month, but still OK

the choice is yours, I prefer to save 300 euro...

c'mon, it is just 11 hours of your life, can not you just listen to mp3/relax/read something? if it is way cheaper, I better spend those 11 hours without the personal entertainment screen and saving some bucks (actually I prefer to just sleep)

yes, but Skype is expensive... I use voipbuster.com and Rynga.com (free calls to Thailand - even mobiles)

If you need really cheap ones, you must book well ahead, too late for January IMO...

wise man with the airtube and weights to keep you on the bottom

10 mil baht? No way, for this price I can rent all my life and still invest the remaining 8 mils

and they still charge 200 baht for the entry, ridiculous...

Give me country that does give you a "permanent" visa when you buy property....there is no such thing as a permanent visa

What about the investment visa that is no longer in effect? You could have bought a condo for 2 mil baht and no more visa problems... Until they introduce something resonable like this again, I say no.

Anyway, the test does not help you anything, there is no cure so next time better think before you "do"... also, I would recommend a test for gonorrhea/syphilis/hepatitis etc., some of these can be cured...

...last week, they increased the baggage fees by 50 % !!!!! (now 300 Baht for 15-kg bag, before last week it was 200 Baht ! ), and their "convenience Fee" by 40% ! (from 50 to 70 Baht)

I think I have always paid 140 Baht as the "Convenience Fee" for using the credit card, or I am the only one?

I see many farangs doing visa runs and complaining about the visa problems, and every time I tell them I would never buy a condo unless they provide me some kind of a permanent visa. (since it is the only property you can buy anyway, houses bought on Thai companies are never more than 49% in your name) If I invest here, I do not want to be forced to leave the country due to visa issues. That is why I rent, and since it is only 5000 baht per month for a new house, what the heck And when I see the condos/houses that have 20+ years (especially after being rented out), they are very often already worthless so you can not expect to sell them / get any money back if you want to leave/move. So why do you keep helping the Thai baht exchange rate with foreign currencies transfered over here? I could not resist asking

Nice tip, thanks!

What a misleading topic, there was nothing special about AUD on 04 November 2010, it is only USD that keeps falling down against all currencies and for sure no "happy days for Aussies living in Thailand", just an average exchange rate...

Last time, well actually the only time, I changed my itinerary with Air Asia it was easy to do on-line there was a fee for changing and then I was charged the higher price for the ticket, so I didn't bother to go down that route. I actually purchased a new ticket and then didn't fly on the other one, I then claimed the airport tax back, it was a bit of faff but a fair bit cheaper.

Can you really claim the airport tax back in such a case?

EDITED: it seems you really can, see http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=18801397386&topic=13484

but you can find much better offers than 1,400bht a night

Why pay an agent for such a simple task as bringing passport to the embassy when you have enough time in PP to do it yourself? Perhaps you could hire an agent to bring it to the visa agent, too

If i could hire someone to bring it to the agent i would. Why would i want to waste 2 hours of my time waiting some hot awful embassy when i could possibly hire someone to do it?

Well, in case you have rich parents or are too rich to spend it otherwise and do not have to waste your valuable time working for the agent's fee, why not

if you plan to go to Samet daily from Ban Phe then do not forget to add the 200 THB entrance fee to the island + the boat roundtrip fee and you might as well end up with the same prices you can get directly on Samet

not to metion the time wasted with everyday travelling back and forth between Ban Phe and Samet

just the $25 departure tax in PP airport sucks...

You say that the current rate for Danish currency is 1.00 DKK = 5.57632 THB, I bet you mean the spot price in Forex which you never get, there is the buy and sell price + mastercard/visa rates are always worse than in any of the banks
