  1. hi,i currently have a single entry O visa ( runs out mid feb) and was hoping to change to a retirement visa,i have a police report from the uk,a pension print out (not from an embassy ) and no medical cert.I think i have misread previous posts and hoping someone could point me in the right direction as to how, if achieveable, i could change or extend my visa.If i have to leave to get a new 2 month visa then so be it (go back april),i have done that before,was just wondering,thanks in advance

  2. hi,i shall be staying in khao lak area from nov for about 5 months, i do not know exactly where yet but noticed there are 3 golf courses in the area (albeit large area),and wondered if there are any societies or bars that organise golf days on a regular basis,thanks in advance.

  3. yes thanks does seem at bit expensive then,as has been said 'tourist area'...............crown was 13k,post 4k and 5 visits 10k,A friend back home (uk) has said around 300 pound,will have to mull it over...............maybe just stick to a liquid diet !

  4. I have just been quoted 27,000 bht for said dental work in karon,which includes a crown,really do not know about this but the price seems a bit expensive.Can anyone advise ?? is it the same price in the uk or can anyone recommend a better place in phuket.

    thanks

  5. hi,

    I am staying in phuket and was considering doing a minibus border run but i am going off that idea,i have a double entry tourist visa from the uk and i do not need to extend now for the extra 30 days,(1900 bht at patong).All i need is 60 days so can i just fly in an out of singapore without staying the night ?? can get a return flight with tiger air for 4000 bht,which seems reasonable to me.

    If this is possible any recommendations for things to do at airport to kill the time,its roughly a five hour turnaround.

    thanks in advance

    or has anyone heard of getting an extention at phuket town immigration ? can extend to feb 14th at patong then need to go by march 11th

  6. hi there,On arrival here my kindle paperwhite screen is cracked,does anyone know where,if anywhere this can be repaired. ??

    or if not can you buy one here ? or pay a fortune getting it over here from amazon ?

    I mainly just read the newspaper and i am using my amazon fire at the moment with limited success,is there something i can download in case my kindle cannot be repaired to make life easier,

    many thanks

  7. hi,i am in phuket on a tourist visa and extended it for a month,runs out 16th feb and i fly home april the 20th (bad planning)

    i am not sure which visa option to do( or is possible)

    could i fly somewhere and on my return get a 30 day visa at airport and then extend for another 30 days for 1900 bht and if i stayed 3/4 nights that visa would take me up to the 20th of april ,avoiding an overstay fine,

    or,fly to say penang and go to embassy and get visa that way,and get a 3 month visa (if they do one ?)to take me up to the 20th ??

    i am thinking comfort rather than cost at the moment ,my backpacking days are over !!

    many thanks

  8. note u need go to a Thai Embassy and apply for a tourist visa.

    and get a 2 month visa on re-entry

    Does not exist;

    Penang is closest to Phuket,

    fly ( 1 hour) or bus down (10+)

    will take at least 1 night stay

    Well worth 2 nights there, great little city and fantastic food

    Flying up north to Udon and bus over to Vientiane would be same cost or even cheaper

    ok many thanks

  9. hi guys,sorry you have probally heard this question many times,but i have received conflicting info........I entered thailand in nov on a 2 month tourist visa and recently extended by a month in patong (1900bht) . I am going to have get another two month visa and extend again by a month to see out my holiday,i was hoping to go to ranong but have been told i cannot extend by 2 months there,i have to go to penang,is this true ??............If i have to do this then i may as well go somewhere for a week and get a 2 month visa on re-entry,any recomendations would be appreciated,or just bite the bullet and do the penang visa run ??

    hope this makes sense,i am not on a small budget so i can happily fly somewhere if that makes things easier,

    thanks
