Hi
My 12 month Visa expires in mid June and I was going to return to Australia and reapply for the next 12 month visa however work commitments means that I will not be able to return until early July
I return to Aust every 2 to 3 months so I have never needed to report to an immigration office as I get it basically every re-entry thru Suvarnabhumi customs
I will return late April so I assume I will get 3 months again ??? Is this true or will they only give me to the end of the current type O??
If I have to renew it before it expires where would the quickest place be?? KL or Singapore?
Thanks in advance
King's Palace Scams
in Thailand Travel Forum
Posted
I had a mate visit from Australia and he had a great time in the Kingdom.
On the second to last day of his trip we took him to the King's Palace but were fronted by someone who told us we couldn't enter as we were too late (2.45pm) and we should try some other places of interest. As we had taken him to may of the tourist spots we told the Thai man that we would return in the morning
We arrived at the palace at 8.30 only to be fronted by yet another Thai man who also stated we couldn't enter (he said there was a special occasion inside) and once again tried to sell us some other places of interest. As it was my mates last morning we got really angry and the Thai them said ok ok go in.
What we discovered by talking to staff inside the palace was that it was a gang who lied about entering the palace to see their tours.
How can the government, police and army, who were in abundant attendance allow this to happen each day (even with corrupt payments!!) This is the Kings Palace for heaven sake!!!!!
We were able to show my mate the beauty inside the palace but as we were leaving we saw these guys doing the same thing to other tourists in earshot of a solder.......
