'21 Amazing Things To Do In Bangkok' is basically a collection of the things that we actually like doing when in the city. Rather than reeling off all the capitals most popular tourist attractions we decided to go on a walk about and show people the sights and sounds of Thailand, the way we like to see them. It may not be to everyone's taste, but there may be something on our list that inspires you on your next trip to the capital city of Bangkok. :-) Enjoy

An ANIMATED North THAILAND Adventure In CHIANG RAI. We made an Animation HYPER Lapse STOP MOTION 2K Resolution Ultra High Definition video of a day exploring Chiang Rai.The challenge was to move our bodies VERY slowly step by step with each photograph to create an interesting Animated Stop Motion movement for the resulting final video which plays at 24 frames (photos) per second. Hope you like watching it.
We also made a behind the scenes video to accompany it:

We took 6771 PHOTOS OF CHIANG MAI & NORTH THAILAND, moving a small step each time, and strung them together into a 2k resolution video. It's basically the fastest holiday photo slideshow ever . The challenge was to move just enough with each photograph to create an interesting flowing movement for the resulting final video which plays at 25 frames (photos) per second. It took a LOT of patience!Almost every single frame had to be manually aligned, stabilized or motion tracked to create a smooth video like movement. Each frame of this Thailand Video is a Medium sized RAW photograph shot on a Canon 5D mark 2 SLR stills camera. The images were then edited and colour corrected in Adobe Lightroom and made into Time Lapse image sequences in Adobe After Effects. We also made good use of our Digislider 'shoot move shoot' cinema rail for the slow sliding timelapse shots.Because the original 6771 photo images were so much larger than regular HD footage, we decided to create this episode of '8 miles from home' in SUPER 2k Resolution High Definition for your viewing pleasure. We hope you appreciate the work we put into this :-) Enjoy this little slice of fun from Chiang Mai and North Thailand...Places visited in this video include:

Chiang Rai is developing quite nicely. When we moved up here from CM we had no idea the cafes and restaurants would be of this standard :-)
There are a good selection of classy and cheaper local restaurants springing up all over town, I'm trying to map them all out so people can find all the little hidden food gems CR has to offer: http://bit.ly/ChiangRaiMap

Some of you guys will already know this because you've been following our video journey for several years. But now we are now producing a simplified, less edited video diary of our travels and experiences as expats in Thailand. The series is called 'A Day In The Life' and we are making a solid effort to get out on the streets as much as possible to film and edit down as much of our Thai travels as possible. Discovering new cafes, restaurants, tourist spots and beautiful places off the beaten track. Plus we share our opinions on the things that happen out here as we go through expat life in the 'land of smiles'. We are constantly looking for new places to discover so be sure to suggest places we can track down for future videos :-)
We have 3 different Video Diary Styles: 'Behind The Lens' (Vlog Talking Style) | 'Sights & Sounds' (No Music, Real Audio) | 'Real Time' (UnCut, Unedited, Straight From Camera)
THAILANDS DRONE BAN LAWS (BTL EPISODE 20)
CHIANG RAI ALPINE FOREST (S&S EP3)
More episodes included below and we make new videos every Tuesday & Saturday. If you enjoy watching them and want to see more, consider subscribing to our youtube channel: http://bit.ly/SUBSCRIBEonYT We are really trying to expand our channel this year and every sub makes a big difference :-)

2.5 years after Moving to Thailand. The way we see things has changed dramatically. We arrived with a slither of a dream and it has since grown into our entire outlook on the possibilities of this life. In this cinematic video, a close friend visits us on a two month Sabbatical and we embark on an enlightening journey. Thailand gave us an amazing platform to develop our dreams into a reality.

This was the real event guys, it just so happened that we were sitting among thousands of foreigners and couldn't walk around freely due to the amount of people that were there. Plenty of Thais were there too though, I promise :-).

Living in Thailand has been very good for us. When we first shared our Cinematic journey as expats living here. A lot of fellow members in this forum felt that the videos were unrealistic and over edited. Some loved it, some hated it. But we stuck at it and have built up quite a nice audience over the years. Recently we decided to add a more realistic viewpoint to our youtube channel so we started a behind the scenes Video Diary to supplement our video work. Here are a few of our new 'A Day In The Life' Videos:
If you enjoyed watching those we are uploading 2 per week. Here is a playlist of all the Behind The Lens Episodes currently online. Hope you find the information and videos interesting :-)
And for those who prefer our original hyper over dramatic Thailand and S.E.A videos we are still making those too :-)- 7

Seduced by Asian Beauty - In Love with Thailand
After a mini season break we are back with our latest episode of the cinematic web series '8 miles from home'.Entitled 'Seduced by Asian Beauty' this short movie was made to showcase our love for North Thailand. And how we feel about being expats in this beautiful country 2 years after moving here. Some of you will love it, and we're certain some will hate it. But that is the risk we take whenever we publicly share our work into the brutal world of youtube and the world wide web. :-)
If you like what we do, please share our video with others, we don't get paid directly or sponsored to make these episodes, so publicity is all we ask for. Enjoy the movie!

You do not get an extension when you cross and the border and return you get a new permitted to stay date when you re-enter. Calling it an extension can lead to further confusion.
haha ok i am now getting very confused also.
But I think I've already got the answer to my question. Thanks for all the info guys, it's really appreciated. :-)

In answer to the specific question there will only be at best a fine to pay and they will wrote next to your exit stamp on your passport a note in Thai that you overstayed one day and paid the fine.
It has no effect later, it's just a note to show it happened, and was dealt with.
But what I don't understand is exactly how you can renew a visa at Mae Sai
Yes it's an actual multiple entry Non Imm B type visa. We renew every 90 days at Mae Sai for the course of 12 months with a Bonus 90 days on the end as well.
That statement confuses me, and I wonder if you really have a visa or an extension.
Hope you are right.
A multi entry visa is usually given by a Thai consulate and/or embassy. It is good for one year from the date of issue, and it is often stamped with an expiration date and has either the word Multi (sometimes Multiple)or the capital letter M where it says "Number of Entries".
Each time you use it you will be stamped on your entry to Thailand with a "Permitted to stay stamp" in your passport.
That stamp is NOT a renewal, it just shows entry to the country and allows you a 90 day stay.
And there is no "bonus" of 90 days either.
It's just that if you enter Thailand on the last day of your multi entry visa validity you will get the same 90 day permitted to stay stamp.
Even though your visa expires the next day that permitted to stay stamp allows you to stay legally for 90 days even after your actual visa is past it's one year expiration date.
I would hate to see you return from Hong Kong and be stamped with a visa exempt entry good for only 30 days because your extension, not visa, expired when you left the country.
If you do indeed have an extension to October 2014 that you should purchase a exit re-entry permit to allow you to exit Thailand and return and keep your extension valid until October.
A single entry permit is only 1000 Baht and is cheap insurance at that price if you really have an extension and not a visa.
But if you really do have a valid visa, good until October 2014, you don't need that permit.
I guess I worded it wrongly but, Yes I have a Valid Visa from the Thai consulate in the UK. Its a Multiple Non Imm B type which is valid until July, and then with the 90 day extension at Mae Sai on the last day we will be allowed to stay in Thailand until October.
I should have said extension rather than renewal sorry :-)
Thanks for the info about the overstay, i'm feeling much more confident about passing through immigration now.
Thank You Thailand & Farewell

Thank You Thailand, it's time to say goodbye. We've had a wonderful time here in this amazing country, and we've learned a lot about ourselves in the process.
Farewell. Love... 8 miles from home
