    A multi O one year means you have to leave and re-enter Thailand every 90 days.

    In the case of being divorced you officially have no reason to be issued a multi O based on being married. 

    It doesn't mean that. I have always extended it by 60 days after the first 90 days ran out.

     

    i was talking about getting divorced after I got the visa...

  2. Phuket: Great infrastructure, no mafia, good roads, bridge to main land.

    Samui: Shoddy infrastructure, mafia, shoddy roads, no bridge.

    You make the choice.

    Lol@ Phuket and no mafia.

    Op i lived in both, currently in Samui. I find it more relaxed here also the scenery is better. We have some really awesome beaches around the island.

    Price wise they are very similar. Pretty much more expensive than anywhere in thai but still decent by western standards.

    Lamai for example has the perfect balance between hookers/nightlife/peacefull life.

  3. Any more info on this ?

    Just bought train ticket to penang, I am on ED visa for 9 months but not gonna extend it anymore, looking to get a tourist visa from there.

    I also had 3 tourist visas from Penang before i got my ED visa.

    Possibly an even poorer clarification. Maybe it should read:

    "... if your most recent visa is an ED visa (with or without an extension), then the Penang Consulate will MAY refuse to issue you a Tourist Visa."

    Your experience with showing an onward ticket from Thailand seemed to buck any blanket prohibition that Jim alludes to so good to note and thanks for the update. Hopefully some others will update on their Penang experience upon the expiration of their TD's.

    Yes, poor choice of words. I should have said, if your most recent visa is an ED visa (with or without an extension), then the Penang Consulate will refuse to issue you a Tourist Visa. This is according to Jim. How strict will they be? This was my situation: my 2nd year ED extension from Phuket was expiring on April 3rd. However, I had already purchased a ticket to the USA for May 24 and so the print out of the ticket was presented with my application. They went ahead and gave me the Tourist Visa.

  4. Took the train 10 times during last year, mostly bkk-surat thani and st-penang. I am just waiting for the train in the station at the moment. Bored in surat thani station like a fat kid with a plate of carrots.

    They are gonna sell beer in the train when you are 1st class, they gonna come whisper if you want some :) Good cause you have the little sink you can pee in at 1st class, dont have to go 20 times to the bathroom.

    Also smoking in the bathroom of 2nd class is pretty standard, not so much in the 1st class carriage.

  5. Got super drunk before christmas and bought ex falang gf bussiness class to come see me here in thai :) Obv massive regret next day when i woke up.

    Had the best holidays ever with her and thai gf sleeping same bed.

    So stop beeing a cheap <deleted> and buy your gf a plane ticket. Can prob find offers for like 500€ or so 2 way if you know where to look.

    Oh and stop listening to old rusty expats on tv lol. YOLO bro.

  6. Just came from penang with a visa run company, one of the well known ones, it was very very easy, got the single entry but didnt set foot into consulate, they took care of everything.

    I think you can get the same services by flying and then checking in at banana hotel in georgetown. Basically hotel manager or somthing like that took care of everything visa related.
