Looks pretty much the same to me. Maybe a few less tuk tuks but now they are just spreading the 5 they are allowed out a bit instead of touching bumpers like they used too. Still chaos on beach road

I just had this problem a week ago and where i am there is no mobile networks at all. With kasikorn i was able to have the otp sent to my email.

I know this is a visa question but i am hoping just for some advice from people in this industry that have the same issue as me.

I have been working a 28/28 roster for the last 16 months and have spent my time off in thailand. I have always entered on a visa exempt stamp and this has never been a problem. I also went to phuket town immigration office about 10 months ago and told them this is what i planned to do and they said there is no problems as long as it is obvious i have been away for a while and not just overnight so i can get a new stamp.

I am wondering if there is a type of visa i could apply for so that i know i will be fine everytime i come back. I always think there is going to be a time when they say at immigration that i have too many visa exempt.

I also wish to buy a car in the next few months so i wonder how i can register and insure this when i am only getting visa exempt stamps. I have a 12month lease on my apartment that i can show if it helps. (And i dont plan on getting married!!)

Thanks for any help.

You will have no problems at bkk airport. The airline in aus may not let you board without a return ticket though. I have had it happen about 2 months ago but i told them i would be travelling around asia from there, ie going over the boarder by land to continue my holiday and it was ok.

Patong is a good place IMO, i just know some expat women who feel uncomfortable around alot of expat men with thai girls as they cant hold a conversation with the girls. Im just saying that these places i refer to are very casual, not overly pretty places but comfortable for everyone.

_{Soi kepsup in patong has a british pub/resturant and an irish bar. Always a few expats in for drinks in the evening, both have expat couples so your wife will feel comfortable}

Hey guys, seems to be a few people here that will be able to help. I am working as a chief electrician (3+years) on a land rig and would like to get a foot in offshore, what courses would be recommended to help to get in? Just BOSIET?

I am halfway through some treatment in Patong. I have had 12 fillings, root canal, whitening and will be back in a fortnight to have a crown fitted. Next month after i will have an implant. The implant is 50,000 baht.

The price is probably a little high as it is in patong but it is near to my house so thats why i choose them.

Thanks for the info. Looks like i will arrive for songkran on a 28 day stamp and then go to laos for a few days and try to get a double entry tourist visa. This should be the best way to get nearly 6 months if i get the extension both times???

Check it out, you have many possibilities where to get a Tourist Visa. One entry, is everywhere possible, two entries, check the list.

Driving license?

Do you not have one from your home country? Should be ok, also an International can be asked for, but seldom!

I have a car licence but not a bike licence, so i think i will have to sit a bike test??

Hi i am new to this forum and have seen alot of people get great advice so i am hoping for the same. I have been coming in and out for thailand for the last 2 years on a visa exempt stamp. I work offshore so only ever stay 28 days maximum at a time. Now i am looking to take 3 to 6 months off work and want to get a visa to stay.

I have an Australia passport but dont want to go to australia to apply for a visa. Where should i go to get this done and what visa should i be looking at getting. I have been renting the same place on a long term rental for the past 12 months and have a lease agreement already for the next 12 months.

I am also looking to get my motorbike licence as i have been running the risk a bit too long now, what do i have to do to get this?

I am not old enough to apply for any retirement visa either.

Thanks in advance for any help.
