I have re-structured my visa options so that I am merely a "tourist" now. 

So do you travel to Thailand on 60 day Tourist visa every time?

May be I can do that too!

What is so special about Nana Hotel? May be other good hotel around?

1 year, 15 Mbps, unlimited DATA SIM, can you buy this from a shop front any provider?

Ok, will try Maneerat on Soi Post Office 13/2 first.

As for 10Mbps unlimited data SIM, any chance of getting it other than Online?

Thanks, then Pattaya it is..

Hi All,

Hoping to come to Thailand after few years of absence  with 30 days visa exempt hopefully after May, am 74 years old Australian and have TWO question:

1. Best place to to convert to non O visa with an Agent?

2. How to get an unlimited DATA SIM?

You possibly do not have a Thai bank account.

Enter Thailand visa exempt you would require the agent to 

1. Open bank account.

Correct, but prefer to open an account with City bank, so it would be easy for me transfer money from Aus.

Had TWO  account with Kasikorn bank before, but they may NOT active anymore!

IF you must use an agent Maneerat on soi 13 is recommended by many.....me I do it the legit way.

an hotel is easier,

Meet nice lady/katoi, rent loom,

Marry nice lady/katoi, buy house,

Things go pear shape, you loose,

Back to hotel, and a little wiser.

So back to hotel!!

Is it better to rent or just buy (condo) outright?

Is there an age limit to obtain Thai Driving License, say for Australian DL?

the best path might be to come into Thailand on a Visa Exempt or short term visa and they convert to a Non O?  

Is it still easy to do?

What will be the cost of Insurance for OA visa for 73+ ?

Kia EV6, will it be on sale in Thailand?

So don't need to apply for visa since 30 day visa exempt, so what else you would need, other than double vaxed?

Hope to visit Thailand again next year.

30 day visa exempt is still available for Aussies?

Miss Koh Samui.. lockdown in Sydney!!

How is Ark Bar? still in business and busy?

Applied at Sydney Consulate on 15th and collected the passport today with O-A Muli entry stamp.

Will be using this to travel to Thailand frequently for short stay (last Nov. was told NOT come back without Visa, too many visa exempt), do I have to ask for re-entry stamp at exit point?

- advise at the Consulate..
