No such thing as a 6 month single entry tourist visa, a tourist visa is only valid for 60 days

My wife has bought them before for not much (around 200 baht), but I thought that was on sale at Robinson's.  Either they had a different version that didn't cost 1000 baht or else it hadn't been there.

 

They have a nice version at Ikea, more in the range of 500 baht (359 for a smaller one, 499 for a larger version):

Kind of off the subject but I use them to make loose tea, not coffee.

Yes I have seen them at Robinsons in Bangrak there was plenty of them

Cant i just tell them that we are going to spend like 4 days in cambodia if we get any struggle to fly? 

Could be big trouble - don't do it. Not allowed to take Buddha images out of the country.

You can still get a Multiple Entry Non 'O' via the Embassy in London which can be applied for by post. My guess is that the consulates have abused their power and issued too many ME visas, and have had that privilege taken away. There's no reason why that should have a knock on effect to Savannakhet.

Exactly,  This change did not happen overnight it is at least 1 year old 

Is there no postal service in your first world country

This is a sensitive time in Thailand

The nation is in mourning. 

But people coming on holiday to a beach resort ... surely some tolerance goes a long way.

 

Beach ?

I don't see as it matters they still recognized & valid by the UK.

Yes that is the point.

The British embassy do not need to issue  certificates  you already have 

They  don't issue you a marriage certificate if you get married in Thailand

Why should they issue death certificate.

Register a death is on the website gives you all the options you need 

looks very straight forward     

No need to panic 

Treat them mean and keep them keen policy is working a treat  

My experience is mail seems to depart from the airport every 10 - 14 days 

but it does not always go  direct to the UK and may be held at the next airport

Posting in Bangkok the tracking shows it is processed and ready to leave the same day 

It is just luck whether there is a flight ready for it or not  

when it arrives in the UK it is delivered in 2 - 3 days.

I have had mail take anywhere between 3  - 30 days

Sorry to drag up an old post, but seems like the post has possibly reverted to having the same issues as the beginning of the year.

Is anyone else having any issues sending items to the U.K. once again?

How long  have you been waiting this time

Strange, nobody asked for anything like that when I married my wife in Sweden.

The OP is in Thailand  

You extend your permission to stay not the visa

you can get the 30 day extension  

check the requirements need photo, copies  of passport pages  

application form TM7   and 1900 baht 

More evidence that possession of a valid visa is not the sacrosanct guarantee that some keep insisting it is...  When it comes to foreigners anymore, EVERYTHNG is on the table.

What airline did you fly with ?

A rather vague post

Thanks for all the helpful replies which tell me things I already know.

What I asked was how long it would take to drive from Victory Monument to Ekkamai at 5pm.

I ask because apparently the government are arranging a shuttle bus to do exactly that.

Anybody who decides to take that journey deserves the pleasures it will bring

How on earth is this going to reduce traffic at Victory Monument!?

Instead of getting on a Minivan to go to - say - Rayong now a commuter has to get on a Shuttle Bus at VM to get to Morchit, then get in the Minivan.

So instead of the Minivans causing congestion at Victory Monument there will be scores of Shuttle Buses causing congestion there.

I really wonder sometimes at the idiocy of these "planners"!

Patrick

.

Normal people will not go to Victory monument if they Know the vans will not be there

The shuttle busses will benefit people who are local to Victory monument and those who did know that they had moved

Visa on arrival is not for 30 days

are you getting confused with visa exempt
