Hi, this is an "idiot" question from me on the same subject. I will be in Phuket for a month Nov - Dec visiting friends. I usually use my ATM card (regularly over a 5.5 year period when I lived on the island). Do I have to bring the equivalent in sterling with me, approx £500, as my Thai bank account has been closed, or what. I find this a little confusing. Entering Thailand via Hong Kong only staying 30 days.

OK. I will complete the TM30 on arrival and this will be in my passport so I am legal. Let the Hotel tell them I am there when I check in and give me my new(?) TM30 for my passport. Having lived in Phuket for 5.5 years til 2016 I know how Immigration works there. What's the worst they can do to me? They will know where I am when I arrive and then when I move. Do they want tourists to visit or not? I think not but then there would be no reason for Immigration and no jobs for the officers.

So, when I arrive in Phuket later this year I will be staying with a friend in their rented home, for 4 days before moving to an hotel. Do I have to get a copy of their TM30 and register at Immigration? I thought the TM30 was the document the landlord had to submit to ensure he/she is paying tax on the income. I will have registered the address with immigration on arrival and the hotel will do the same after I check in.
A number of tourists who go island hopping off Phuket plus Divers who do liveaboards are going to spend a large percentage of their holiday at Immigration in Phuket especially during high season. What fun.

Bringing cheese into LOS
in General Topics
Posted · Edited by YT5
Additional info
Just remember if you are travelling through the Middle East or anywhere where the luggage could sit on the ground for a while it will heat up. Did this once with a whole plate sized Camembert, when you couldn't buy cheese easily in BKK (1985). Wrapped in a duvet inside a suitcase but sat on the ground in Doha for two hours. Took my friend months to get the smell out of the duvet but the cheese was ripe!
Also there is a limit on the amount of cheese you can take in to the LOS.
Keep it in the fridge, wrap it in a cool bag and then make it the last thing you pack. Should be fine. Done it many times.
You can buy kilo blocks of New Zealand cheddar in Macro, if you are close to one in Thailand. Almost as good as the real cheese and not so 'plastic' as some.
