Heyya,

Came across the insect/animal thing in a cave in Phu Phan National Park (attached).

Any idea on what it is?

cheers

For sale Yamaha Mio, just ticked over 40,000 km

We have been on many long journeys together, to Mae Sai border, Chiang Dao and even Doi Inthanon in the weekend.

Isn't the fastest bike but gets up to 80km/h cruising.

Comes with green book.

Tax and insurance paid until end of year.

Asking 10,000 baht o.n.o

Selling as will be leaving Chiang Mai for at least 3 months. Send me a PM

You will have no problem getting a 15 day entry.

You have not done enough entries to have a problem plus you have been out of the country for several days.

Great! Thanks for that. Just to confirm, I have probably ~10 visa on arrival stamps over the last two years but plenty of out of country visits in between mae sai runs (never overstayed).

Hey all,

Leading up to the 10th June when all the border changes occured I have always gotten 30 days on arrival and doing Mae Sai border runs when need be (NZ passport).

I arrived into Thailand April 2nd via Plane (30 days), went to Mae Sai border on on 30th April (+15days).

Then with the changes, I went to Cambodia on May 13th via Poipet where I am now.

I have a flight from Bangkok to Melbourne booked for 7th June.

Will I be able to bus from Siem Reap to Bangkok and use my proof of onward travel to allow me 15 days on arrival?

Thanks!

Best call the bank , i know obvious BUT some Aus banks have added an additional code for atms in Thailand .... A lot of scams apparently ... Had an issue with a Com Bank card .... CHOKDEE !!

Spoken to three people at NAB, they are all clueless :/

Hey, Its NAB.

Reason I'm using it, I lost my wallet, this is my only spare card.

They said they would not charge additional fees up until today

Anyone?

Ah that would make sense! Thanks

Guess I will be ringing the bank to get that sorted. They had no idea earlier.

I am trying to withdraw cash using my Aussie credit card, all goes well then the ATMs keep asking to renter a code. What is this code??? Its defo not my pin. Have never seen this before.

Any help appreciated.

Happens on various atms

Ah, its called Johns place

leaving drink = leaving chiang mai for the foreseeable future, just wanna be able to say good bye to friends Ive made.

Whats that place called? I recognise it, good idea!

as above

I think this is the new location; because someone said they had moved in Doi Suthep direction.

But who knows maybe they will have moved again before you get there!

this is the correct location, got the right place eventually

Cheers, I went out there the other day, couldnt find it lol. will try again, looks like it might get stormy now tho !

okay, so I have googled CM tourist police, ridden around everywhere but cant find them!

Where are they located ??

Cheers

May as well put this quick report in here:

I did the Mae Sai run today (techinically yesterday) from Chiang Mai. Was on my Yamaha 115cc. Left CM at 10am on the dot and arrived at the bridge just after 2pm. Parked the scooter, and went through immigration, very simple. Also very true what everyone says about the touts. I gave them 500baht, didnt try USD.

Mucked around market for too long, left about 3.30pm, got stuck in a thunder storm about 160km out from CM, waited that out with a couple other farangs over some food and banter.

Eventually made it home right on midnight, we took it really easy coming home as it did rain a lot so was pretty slippery.

If you were to leave at 7am, you could be home by 4pm comfortably on the regular scooters for hire. Not sure how much gas I used, but put no more than 500b in at all places total

No - 22nd is fine.

awesome, thanks!

I have a 30 day visa on arrival, the date in passport says 22nd .

Does this mean I need to do a border run to Tachelik tomorrow? If I did it on 22nd would that be considered overstaying?

Cheers

Just thought I would post in here, might help someone etc.

Went to the Airport Plaza, 3rd floor there is a orange shop called "Digital Photo Shop and Copy". They were great, 4 photos of quality color for 70 baht.They also emailed me the file with no hassles!

Awesome service

Awesome, thanks for ya help!

They're all using digital cameras, just print out your requirement and give it to them. (your requirement is pretty normal even my phone can do it! perhaps your camera is good enough)

ooo what phone do you have? My iPhone 4s powerfl enough? Wish I was better at technology!

Hey forum peeps,

Where in Chiang Mai can I get a Digital Photo that meets the below reqs? My camera is not good enough

Cheers

Digital Photo

• If an existing photo is being scanned, the minimum resolution must be 600 pixels per inch.

• The file may be submitted in JPEG or JPEG2000 format.

• The final size of the image should be ideally 240 kB (kilobytes), but not less than 60 kB.

• The image must be in color (24 bits per pixel) in sRGB colour space which is the common output for most digital cameras.
