Can I get some suggestions on how I can get my ring to Thailand without having to pay the vat and tax? Because right now it is cheaper for me to go to the US and bring it myself if the above rates are correct.

Haha, you guys just saved me a lot of money. Thank you so much. Phew...

Hello, I am having a custom ring made in the U.S.A. and they will ship it to Thailand. Do I have to pay import fees when buying jewelry overseas? The shipping is fully insured but the cost of the item is quite high. I am afraid it will cost me quite a bit. Please enlighten me, thank you!

I know that this is probably a long shot and perhaps absurd, but I am very curious to find out if there are any reputable English or Korean seminaries in Thailand. I understand it will probably not be the best, but I would like to visit them and see for myself. This kind of information is probably rare, but if you know of anyone with experience or if you have heard about some places, could you let me know? Thank you, I really appreciate it!

Thank you Maestro!

Quick question about obtaining a non B visa before the 28th of April, but not using it until much later on June 18. Is this possible or do I need to use the visa right away once I get it from the Thai US embassy?
-
OK, I will just have to do that then. Thanks ubonjoe!

Question, it says on the thai oregon consulate that the fee for tourist visa is waived, but the site also says i Have to pay $40. Which is it?
Lastly, is it possible to obtain two visas from the consulate? One tourist visa for a 60 day stay that is used in April, and a Non-B visa that will be used later on in May? Because then that would be less of a dice roll
-
Awesome, that sounds like a good idea. Thanks ubonjoe! can you tell me more about how I can get a re-entry permit? I will be in the north of thailand, near chiang rai.

I begin work in Thailand around June and I have all the necessary documents to get a Non B from the Thai Embassy in the U.S. But I want to enter Thailand earlier and do a month of traveling and recreation before I begin my work. Thus, I wanted to know if I can get my Non B visa from the embassy but have it so that I can use it later? Perhaps June 1. Before then, I would like to leave for Thailand in less than two weeks and spend a month or two there on a visa on arrival.
Is this possible? If so, how can I go about doing this? If not, what are my options? Thank you!
U.S. citizen here.

You can get the TM7 form at immigration or download it and print it two sided. http://www.immigration.go.th/nov2004/download/pdf/tm7.pdf
You already have a TM6 departure card you got when you entered the country.
Because of you I had everything prepared and saved a bunch of time. Thank you Sir Ubonjoe. Routine visa extension complete.

What kind of entry do you have now?
A tourist or visas exempt entry can be extended for 30 days at an immigration office for a fee of 1900 baht.
You will need a completed TM7 form with a 4 X 6 cm photo attached. Copies of your passport photo page, visa (if any), entry stamp and TM6 departure card.
Thank you for the right info as always Sir. I Have a visa exempt entry at the moment. The TM7 form and TM6 form, will they provide at the office just like they do at the border?

Am a US citizen wanting to stay one more month in Thailand via visa extension. I am going to the office today, other than my passport and 1,900, is there anything else I need to bring? Thank you!

I didn't get much response in the CR sub so I wanted to try my luck here since there is also a general visa question:
Can someone confirm if this is the correct location for Chiang Rai immigration office for visa waiver extension? Do I just need to bring a passport and 1900 baht (US citizen). I have 2 weeks left on my VISA, is it okay to go now? Thank you!

I will be going by private car and my passport only has one entry into Thailand and I have never done a same day border run like this before. I hope I don't get into trouble like Murray Hunter...
-
Thank you Joe! I will go to Pedang besar instead. I'm doing the run down here because a friend is here and invited me to hat yai for a month.
Joe, once I get a visa exempt for 30 days in pedang besar, can i get a visa extension later on in Chiang rai? Are visa extensions pretty straightforward?

I will be going into Malaysia for a same day border run and then immediately coming back into Thailand through VISA exempt. My Non O has run out and I will be getting it changed to Non B but I need to wait 2 months before I can apply for Non B with my company. Would it be okay to do a border run for VISA exemption and then get a VISA extension in Chiang Rai or Chiang Mai later on? Is it pretty straightforward as long as I pay and do not overstay?
Thank you.

I know Thailand is good,but so are the surrounding countries.What is the rush all about,don't you blokes trust your teerak or maybe you have to get back to work.I always spend a time in other countries.
Just read on further that you are staying on,good idea.Malaysia is cool,and public transport is impressive.
hey any places you suggest in Malay? Currently Penang is our #1 and then we are thinking about Ipoh or Redang.
Transportation is good?! Easy to get around? Cuz I really want to visit redang and relax. Any other places like Redang? I dont want to go to Langkawi cuz it seems commercialized. Also Cameron highlands I heard is just worth only 1 night.

You can not get a non-B in Chiang Mai, you must travel yo a consulate outside Thailand.
sorry meant that my company would arrange one for me in (getting the paperwork ready) Chiang Mai and then I would go to a border in the north to receive it. thank you for making sure though!

Yeah, there should be plenty of tourist vans from the hostels in Penang.
The road / bus network is pretty good - you could get a bus to Ipoh and from there catch a bus.
I do it on a bike, in one day, you might be able to do it on a scooter - a long trek but very rewarding. I think it's good to have your own transport when you are there. I saw lots of tourists there, most take organized tours but i never saw scooter hire - I could be wrong.
Do you suggest I book hotels now or kind of wing it? I ask because I like taking public transportation buses like the natives instead of moving with tourists. I am thinking about crossing the border into Malaysia and simply grabbing a bus to Cameron HIghlands. ONce there is it easy to find a room?
Thanks man!

I don't know about the OP - he doesn't mention it he has a ME or SE - but as a ME-O holder I came back through Sadao the other week .. It was fine.
The OP talks about a border hop to Penang ? You know you don't have to go to Penang .. Just in and out - prolly fine through Padang. I also live in HY, you can do it by lunchtime.
If you want to get another O the best place for us to go is Kora Bahru on the East coast of Malaysia. If you want a vacation, collect a visa and then if you have never been, head to the Cameron highlands for a different experience.
I will be getting a Non B in Chiang Mai later on so it's okay if I don't get one now. By the way, the Cameron highlands sound beautiful. Any tips on how to get there from Penang?
Edit: just saw some pictures of the highlands. wow....it looks great because I LOVE hiking. any suggestions on where to stay and the costs of transportation around there?

This will only be a one time thing for this month as i am getting my visa switched but i would like to travel in malaysia before going back into thailand. I will stay in malaysia for a week and then back to thailand and stay in hat yai for one week before going back into malaysia for a real border hop. Will there be any problems? I have never done a border hop before and my passport is clean with only one entry into thailand so far

Haha, thought so. Was hoping that since it is a gift, I could avoid the duty fee. Thank you phuketrichard. If things don't pan out, then I will take you up on your offer. I appreciate you answering my questions.
