no return ticket needed with a tourist visa immigration will not worry about a return ticket, but they may worry about lots of other things, ie hotel, etc before 31st March you will get 45 days stamp on a visa exempt entry, you will not do a 'visa run' it will be a 'border hop'

what is a 90 day visa, if not a non immigrant O visa

when do you think most road markings/road resurfacing is done, when the roads are quiet or during daylight when the roads are busy

where in rayong

will need a flight out within 30/45 days of arrival, visa exempt are now 45days until i believe end of march

which crossing was that please

you were misinformed at the immigration office, it's not complicated for a 'married to Thai national' yearly extension, money is 400,000 in the bank account in your name only for 2 months prior to the application TM7, cost 1,900thb you will need a non-immigrant visa to apply for the yearly extension, visa exempt can be converted within Thailand cost 2,000thb if you were married in Thailand, there is less jumping through hoops than if you were married outside Thailand a 'retirement' yearly extension is easier but the money is tied up in your bank, 800,000thb for 6 months dropping to 4000thb for the remainder of the year, topped back up to 800,000thb 2 month prior to date of application for the subsequent yearly extension.

map is too small to read

i did post that if i was doing it i would drive there myself, and also avoid the 'agents' fee, but without your own vehicle and having to hire a car or car and driver, the costs are starting to rise, car hire, fuel and Cambodian visa would come to 3,000 ish baht plus any back handers that are required, so i think that the link that ubonjoe posted and at 4,000 would not, at this present time for an effortless trip, be too over the top, this is the price that people have to pay to either stay long term in Thailand by repeated visa exempt entries, or to change visa class to something better for them. i in the past used ban pakard/ pong nam ron for reentry stamps for a multi entry non imm 'O' visa, i think then the cost for DIY were under 2,000thb, and a mini bus from Pattaya under 3000thb but i could be wrong

1st class operate from the queen vic, maybe the poster was confused re five star - http://www.1stclassvisaruns.com/ if i was doing it i would drive myself to pong name ron/ban pakard, someone posted that on the 8th Aug they were charging 2700 at the border, so the 4000thb as posted by ubonjoe seems ok see here for other thread -

ban packard (pakkad) is shown here - https://bit.ly/3Rl9aVx or ban laem ( which is about 30km further north), both are in Chantaburi

really smart. as i bought one in April, after thinking for a while that they might not be reliable ie when the mg3 was about 4 years or so ago

lots of idiots around the world then, 1 million sold outside China in 84 countries, but they are wrong to buy

something wrong there

i agree with your no shirt rule, but not with the shorts rules

RIP, it would be a fresh entry, you cannot extend visas, but i agree bad wording by the reporter

you can only get 1 x 60 day visit wife extension per entry into Thailand not including re-entry permit entries, if your extension expires, you will need a fresh non imm visa to obtain a yearly extension upon return to Thailand

not sure where piper tree and long time are, ( i see piper tree and long time are on the bypass road, but there is '24' and phala rib hous opposite each other on Tesco road, phala closer to the beach

what other way is there.

no, its a lot of messing around to save 30 min every 5 years

No

Yes

it's not really immigration that worries about the flight out within 30 days of arrival, but the airline may deny boarding.

once every 5 years

I fail to see why the Condo management/operator is to blame, some of the parking may be by some of the condo owners, but what enforcement would they be able legally to perform
