is there a tutorial avaialable somewhere in on the net about all these kind of Visas I keep reading in Thaivisa.com like retirement visa, elite card, edication Visa, back-to-back tourist visa etc etc.

Very nice move, and a bit ouverdue I guess.

Last month my family vacation to Phuket literally got spoiled becuase of unreasonable and illegal demand of taxi drivers at every step.

Taxi guys were far more innivative than just overcharging. Has anyone heard of a rule that says no more than two passengers per taxi. I found it atrocious.

I feel that Phuket tends to lse majorly on its status as a favourite tourist destination becuase of Txi-Trouble. Best part is that when tourists dry up the taxi drivers can simply drive away and start operating in some other location. But what about the rest of hospitality industry who have millions and billions invested in immovable property?

You will not be denied entry with a Tourist visa. For peace of mind carry with you 20,000 thb (or equivalent) in cash, hotel reservations, outgoing ticket reservations.

To re-enter with the same visa with which you have left without activating a new entry, use a re-entry permit, 1,000 thb at immigration or airport.

What exactly is the difference between a Tourist Visa on Arrival, and a rentry permit?

I could never find any answer on any web resources.

Taking pictures in shopping malls might be great cheap fun aside from the fact that most shopping malls have a graphic sign at the entrance No Cameras

Kinda surprising! I personally dont know of of anyone who dont possess a camera phone and dont take it around wherever they go.

If people took this sign seriously, the Mall would get no customers at all.
