Give a months notice just to be nice, most people don't. Contracts here in Thailand really are not worth the paper they are wrote on. If you are planning to leave the country by air, you would not have a problem anyway, only at a land crossing you would have a problem as the WP is still in affect. It is best to keep your employers happy and give them notice as they could turn nasty and terminate your WP without you knowing and this invalidates your Non B visa. Everyday you stay in Thailand once the WP is cancelled is 500 baht
I might leave the country by land so I need a letter of resignation by my school
to cancel my Non-B extension before crossing a land border.
-
In case of the OP he is being paid monthly so a month notice period is appropriate whether the contract term is "open ended" or "fixed"
This makes sense to me.
Thank you.
-
I've got a 1-year fixed contract with my school. I heard that some schools will refuse to
pay you a salary if you don't give them a notice of resignation.
I'll need a letter of resignation to cancel my Non-B EXTENSION at the immigration office
before I leave the country.
-
It's not stated in my contract so a 1-month notice should be enough,
I'd say. I'm paid by the month.
The reason I'd think I should give them a notice of resignation is
I need a letter of resignation by the school director to submit to
the immigration office in order to cancel my Non-B before leaving
the country.
-
Hello,
My contract with the school expires early next year. When should I
inform them of my resignation if I don't renew the contract? Would
a 1-month notice be enough? Nothing is written on the paper about
it.
Thank you in advance.

Hello,
You can take this international train from Bangkok to Butterworth, where you can change trains
down to KL. You'll probably have at least a few hours in Butterworth (The train had been delayed
for 1.5hrs when I got to Butterworth, though.) so you can go visit George Town if you like.

You can spend one night in George Town and then hop on a bus to KL the next day, too. Butterworth
and George Town are connected by ferry, which runs frequently. As you know, Thailand is one hour
behind Malaysia.
Good luck.

Hello,
I met one American and one Briton in VN last year, both of whom entered VN on
a 3-month visa first and had a local travel agency extend their stay every 3 months,
enabling them to stay in VN for a total of 1 year without even leaving the country.
I don't know how much they had to pay for the extension.
However, the immigration rules changed last January, so I don't know if you can
still do this now.

Hello,
I recommend Nha Trang, which I've been to so many times. It's not very expensive there.
Yes, I saw lots of Russians there when I visited it last year but I heard that there aren't
many of them going there now thanks to the economic crisis.
I've never been to any beaches in Da Nang, which is more expensive than Nha Trang, but
I heard it has some good beaches.
I loved Hoi An when I went there. I didn't go to any beaches there, though.
If you should go to any of the places you should fly Vietnam Airlines or VietJet because
it's too far to travel by land with your kids.
-
with a US passport what's the cheapest visa and transportation to Ho Chi Minh City from Bangkok? I think the embassy in Bangkok is only open 2-4 and maybe in the morning
It'd be cheapest to get a promo fare for Air Asia or VietJet.
-
Booked to go in November to Vietnam, has any UK citizen been recently? is nothing is required except turn up with passport?
https://vietnamvisa.govt.vn/united-kingdom-citizens/
Or do you still need a visa but its free? as it would seem on below link
You'll be requested to show the IO an onward ticket if you arrive in VN
by air on a visa-exempt stamp, which is for free.
-
Hello,
How are you going to leave Thailand? By air? If so, what time is your flight?
If it's right after midnight, you can go through Passport Control before then
and you won't overstay.
You won't get fined for overstaying not more than 24 hours if you fly out, I
believe.

Hello,
Everything is left in your hands!

Hello,
2. Yes, you DO need a visa to VN before going there by land. I met one guy from US
several years ago who said he had got turned back at a Lao-VN land crossing simply
because he didn't have a VN visa on him and had to go back to Savannakhet to apply
for one at the VN Consulate. You can apply for one at the VN Embassy in Phnom Penh
or at the Consulate in Sihanoukville.
When I applied for VOA (3 months) to VN last year, I first paid US$30 to a travel agency
on-line for an invitation letter, and upon arrival in Saigon Airport I paid another US$45
with the letter and got a visa sticker on my passport that took up a whole page. I don't
think you'll have to show the IO an onward ticket when you fly into VN on VOA but on
a visa-exempt stamp.
your comments are more or less obsolete as the Visa situation / requirements in Vietnam has completely changed in 2015, and you now do not need anything pre-arranged by an agent. At least for the citizens of most EU nations that's the case now. Don't know about US nationals though
I just answered Q2 to the OP.
VN has been issuing a visa-exemp stamp to some (NOT most)
of the EU passport holders since 1 July 2015 (till 30 June 2016).
The US passport holders are not put in this category, sad to say.

Hello,
UA dropped the NRT-BKK portion in March 2014. They still fly between
NRT and Singapore, though.

Hello,
There's no telling how the weather will be. God only knows.
It's been very hot here for the past week, during which time it rained a few
times for only one hour or two respectively, even though this is supposed
to be in the middle of the rainy season now.
Is it? I was reading that Pattaya is devastated by flooding by Vamco storm !!
But I am sure things will improve by 15 October .
I live in Prachuap Khiri Khan Province now. It's been very hot here
for the last several days. It's baking hot here at this moment.

Hello,
I'll always fly AA no problem. I won't expect much of them because they're cheapie.
I don't mind flying a few hours without eating or drinking. Best to get a promo fare
and fly with no checked baggage whenever possible. The processing fee has always
been slightly increasing, though.

Hello,
I went to Pulau We in 2000 (15 years ago), so it must of changed a lot
by now. One day I went snorkeling but the water was not clear because
it had rained the night before. I was just unlucky. Maybe you shouldn't
expect the locals to speak English to you.
I love Sulawesi, which I've been to three times.
Pulau Bunaken, close to Manado, North Sulawesi, should still be a good
spot for diving / snorkeling, though it might be a bit over commercialized.
The Togian Islands in Central Sulawesi is also a good place for snorkeling,
though it'll take long to get there.
I've been to Banda Islands and Pulau Kei in Maluku once.
One of the best Banda islands is Pulau Hatta with a great drop off, where
I had great fun snorkeling.
The best beach I've ever been to in my life is Pantai Pasir Panjang in Tual,
Pulau Kei. This is a SUPER white sand beach! The problem is, however,
it'll take a long time to get there so not only do you have to fly in Indonesia
but change flights.
Some nationals don't need a visa to Indonesia now.

Hello,
It sounds like more fun and adventure if you go to Cambodia.
Have you been to Hua Hin before? This is just a busy, small
(not cheap) town with loads of Chinese tourists taking photos
with a selfie stick.
Good luck and have fun.
-
Hello Joe,
Thanks for your info.
-
Hello,
You can do this with Air Asia, though it'd depend upon
the country you're leaving.
-
Hello,
What time are you going to the airport? The traffic jam will start at around 4pm
in Central Bangkok, and it'll get worse if it's raining.
I'd think it better for you to take the BTS to Mochit and then hop on a taxi straight
to the airport. I wouldn't recommend you to take a local bus like No.29 (6.5B) if
you have loads of luggage with you. You never know when the A1 Airport Bus will
arrive, especially if it's raining.
Less than 6 months remaining on passport - OK to enter Thailand?

Hello,
This sounds risky to me, to be honest. I do hope you won't be refused boarding.
Good luck.
