I'd like to get a better picture of the actual pricing of these serives.

As I understood, there is an hourly option for 40$ and a pre-paid option for 40$ as well.

Let's say I head for the latter and got a task for you.... One of your examples: "calling a cinema to ask about special promotions", which took 7 attempts and assumingly 15 minutes of your staffs time to get it done.

How would my pre-paid balance look like after completion? Or what about a 15 minute conference call? How does it compare to the hourly option?

Thanks for clarifying and anyways, best of luck for your venture.

I would nominate wym

Out of curiosity. Why Chinese, and what's wrong with banks? Also what rate did you get at Vasu?

.. or have a look at airbnb

Thanks wym, you sound like a wise man. .. but 1370 Posts in just a little more than a month! What are you pursuing?

Is it a rule of thumb, that visa agreements are based on trade agreements btw countries, or are there other factors that come into play?

That purple country may have a load of trade agreements with the los - but also too much cheap labor i guess.

Does the Russians heavily pump their gas and oil to Thailand and the gray middle eastern countries doesn't?

The Policy must have changed and I'm happy to stand corrected ...

Russians receive similar Visa entry requirements as many other Foreign Countries enjoy ...

Anybody knows, what is the deal with the 3-months visa agreements between Thailand and these five south american countries?

As another poster said, a one-syllable nickname is best.

Maybe, but not when it ends with an "x". To a random Thai person I usually introduce myself as Jonny, as most Thai people would rather call me mack or magg instead of Max.

Nice article. Thanks for sharing

It's been a while...

Does Samui have an operating Walen School now?

The last time the fb site was updated was in 2012

https://www.facebook.com/WalenSamuiLanguageAndItSchool

Anybody attending?

I've been to Thailand on holiday for the last couple of years. I've been to different beaches around the South and always wanted to ride around on the sea with one of those things. But than I always beared in mind the sayings, "renting a jet ski may end up in an expensive scam!" ...So I haven't ever.

Is it the best, to never rent a jet ski in Thailand period (?)

Or is it a numbers game like driving on Thai roads in general? You may arrive savely or ... make a haedplant into a pickup which overtakes another car ...

What about the scammers. Can you point them if you know them? Shame and blame!! It won't have a big impact at all, but at least it may help anyone who reads your posts before renting one from them.

On the other side, can anyone recomend a trustworthy jet ski rental in Pattaya? Are there any? What about the other seasides? Samui, Phuket, Koh Chang, ...? Any place trustworthy, .. or just never ever ride a jet ski in Thailand...?

That's the case at land borders, too and seems to be around for a while. Happened to me in late 2012 in poi pet and ko kong.

Hi,

I always got good with the dtac mobile plans

http://www.dtac.co.th/en/prepaid/products/Happy-internet-package.html

Never had problems where ever I went.

True maybe sound too. They have 4G (at least n Bangkok.)

There are others as well --- AIS, TOT and who knows.

..But anyway it depends - and is up to your choice.

DTAC 5GB ... I was satisfied....

Cheers -max

Thank you all for your very helpful answes. Now I know many things better

To conclude what I got out of it all:

- Coming to los by air as a resident of most western countries, one is allowed to stay for 30 days on the waiver, which is NOT a visa.

- from early November 2013, residents of a G7 country are given a new 30 day staying allowance at any land boarder too

- this visa exempt entry permission cannot be expanded at an immigration office.

- one on a waiver may get 7 additional days to leave the country by paying 1900b at an immigration office, which (in cm) is time consuming and only feasible at the end of the granted 30 days.

- the border exit costs are 500b into Myanmar (? days) and 1000b into Cambodia (30 day tourist) and ?b into laos (? days) and I think it's free for most people to western people to get into Malaysia?

- the rule that you can not stay in los for more than 90 days within 6m is not longer active

- the website thaiembassy.com should not be consulted for up to date thai visa information

- do not overstay (...)

Trat has a quick border run. Its a fairly simple border crossing with lots of transportation. Why not spend a few days in Sihanoukville? If you don't like that, just cross over and come back.

 

I done the Mae Sai once, thats quite a ride from Chiang Mai.

 

Just got a 30 day deal crossing over in Nong Khai. Thats always a simple pleasure, as I live only 40 minutes away in Udon. I leave here at 0630, leave the vehicle on the Thai Side, get stamped in and out in one hour, and back for breakfast in Nong Khai. 

 

Done 4 other land borders, and also Ranong to burma......  interesting boat ride. After we got stamped back in, took the ferry to Koh Phayam and we loved it. Full moon, but no parties. Night time looked like day. Had a nice scooter on their minature road system (more like a paved path).

 

Mae Sai.....blah.

Very helpful. Thanks.

I was in snooky last year and liked it pretty much. I intended to stay there for only one day as a gateway to koh rong. But I lasted for a whole week . If I do that border after koh chang, I wouldn't have to worry about my "visa" for the rest of my stay.

Nong khai sounds good, so I may spend some days throughout some places in isaan (on my list for two years). How much is it for the border run into laos?

With regards to mai sae...

Is the ride from cm up there as scenic and fun as the route to pai? Would consider this to be a nice option for my waiver extention and might stop for night in chiang rai.

Ranong would suit me too, as I probably go to koh tao at the end of my holiday.

Too many options, but overstaying and applying for an extension (which seems not feasible as I know now) is canceled out. Just don't want to spend to much time or money on a bad option.

Does that mean one have to queue up for a whole day to get things sorted? Why should they deny it?

Is there a list of places where to get this done? ...I don't know quite now where I might be at day 29.

Considering the options, an overstay would be one of them. But this would be my last choice, as it would cost me 3000b and another ugly remark in my passport - in addition to the one from 2011. For now a borderrun to Burma sounds to be the best option.

These are great news

..as my overall time in los is 36 days.

Is it possible to concatenate those extra days anytime whilst my stay, or do I need to apply for them on the very end of the 30's?

Where can I go to for that option and how muvh may it cost?

Thank you so much!

"I am on a visa on arrival"

Nope, you entered on a visa waiver (aka visa exempt). Not the same as visa on arrival.

You may think that's nit-picking but it's a different situation with somewhat different rules.

Out of curiosity... so I am currently staying in los visa free on that said waiver. Then I actually don't have to do a visa run. It's technically more a waiver run ... or is that just nitpicking?

Thanks Joe, really much appreciated.

My current visa is valid for 20 days.

It seems that the foreign visa costs are half at a Burma crossing. 500b vs 1000b ?

I might spend that savings on a motorbike rent in chiang mai and do a trip up north to get my stamp there.

Cheers

Thank you Mario for that quick response.

I am on a visa on arrival. So I will do a visa run

Does anybody could advice if the procedure is better done from koh chang or from chiqng mai where I am heading to in a couple of days.

Hi

I am currently staying on koh chang, having a month left on my vacation.

I heard that now it's possible to get a 30 day reentry visa (being resident of one of the G7s countries).

Could I also get a 30 day visa extention at an immigration office in bkk or chiang mai?

If not, does anybody has experience of the visa run options from koh chang/trat vs. from chiang mai with resp. to time and costs?

Thanks a lot
