Need advice on which visa to get, as there seems to be ever changing rules from Thai Immigration. I'm US citizen with a US passport age 56. For the next year will be working in Middle East\Asia area for 21 days on, and have the rest of the month off. Plan on renting a small house in Koh Chang for the year. So in effect, will be retuning to Thailand every 21 days for 10 days. Which visa should I get ? 

Have it nailed down to either up North, or maybe Southern area.  Thanks for all the advice. 

Lived in Chiang Rai in 2013 in June , loved it, but rained all the time . Looking into Hua Hin area, Was alos thinking of Koh Chang, but, again more rain than sun this time of the year. Never had been to Hua Hin, so looking forward to it. Can I get a tourist visa in Cambodia ? 

Which visa, if any will I need to stay in Thailand for 3 months ?  Starting a new job in 3 months, and would like to stay in Thailland until the new job starts in Dubai. 

Leaving my current job, and will be starting another in Oct. Looking for advice where to spend 4 months in Thailand  until the new job. Not looking for the usual tourist spots, but somewhere maybe rent I could small house or flat and just chill out. Possibly somewhere scenic, photography is my hobby, and maybe has a little nightlife. Have set a max budget around 98,000 Baht per month, plus emergency fund.  Also, should I buy or rent a motor bike ?  a would  assume a tourist visa would be the way to go ? 

is there shop Bangkok to buy film ? Looking for Fuji or Kodak pro film 35mm.

Thanks !!

Have a 2012 Kawasaki KLX 150 I would like to sell. Tried to post in bike section, but for some reason not able too. Bike located on island of Ko Chang . Pm for details

Well came back today from Cambodia. Was very easy to do. Thought I would post step by step info for anyone else.( At Hat Hek crossing )

A Park bike on Thai side and with your green book and passport head to window number 2 on the Arrival building ( building on right side looking towards Cambodia)

B At window 2 the girl will print some forms for you to sign and the charge is 6 BHT

C Take the forms and your passport and stamp out of Thailand ( building across from arrivals)

D With the forms from window 2, go to customs and present your paperwork. Customs office you will sign a book, and they will give you a copy of the customs form, which you will need to get the bike back into Thailand. Walk your bike to the gate and give them the card and your done !! Took about 10 minutes for everything .

In Cambodia no paperwork is need for the bike. Get your visa and go.

To get the bike back into Thailand ,

Go to window 2 and show them the customs form. Stamp back into Thailand and with the present the customs form at the customs office. Walk the bike back into Thailand.

Have heard about the daytime headlights with the police. Had no issues. In fact, had a great time !! If you take your motorbike , YOU MUST go the the waterfalls 15KM from Koh Kong. Great day to spend the day , you can go swimming at the top and below the falls.

Have to make a border run this weekend, and was thinkig of taking my motorbike, KLX 150 into Cambodia. Maybe spend a couple days riding around Koh Kong area.

Wanted to make sure all I will need is the green book( in my name ), and My passport ?

Thanks

Wanted to update my post. Did find many places for rent, but do agree a lot very overpriced. Seems like many are charging high season prices. DId find a nice bunglow 10000 BHT per month.

Anyone add a big bore kit to their KLX 150 ? If so, your thoughts ? Thinking about adding one to my bike. Sometime ago read a post on the internet, now can't find it.

There is kit available in the states that fits a 140, which believe is the same motor as the 150 ? A true bolt on kit , no case machining needed .

Thanks for all the replies. Very helpful !! My plan is now us to bring my own stuff ( BCD, regs, gauges ), and buy a new mask and fins here .

Going to check the gear in at the airport .

One last question, have advance open water now, divemaster course next ??
