Once. approaching Phuket, I was passed at high speed by a lowered, pimped up, boy racing machine weaving dangerously through the traffic. It was populated by several dodgy looking characters.

When I arrived at the checkpoint it was very gratifying to see the boys pulled out of line and half a dozen coppers going over it in detail. So they will check vehicles if they think they are suspicious enough.

Unfortunately, about ten minutes later, it again flew past me further down the road.

Understand

It's more of a video check-point as all number plates front and back are recorded, maybe even the driver's face.

But also i never saw them check out minivan or bus

You mean check the pax ? As far as I know it's mostly about checking the vehicles exiting and entering Phuket province.

Exactly:when i was in Chiang Mai and move by bus every time we went out from Chang Mai military(or police)step in the bus and check id and passport.But i never saw so huge checkpoint and no control at all.

As newbie in Phuket i pass throught a checkpoint near the Sarasin Bridge twice every day.Its Tha Chatchai checkpoint?Is correct?I saw a lot of police but, in 3 weeks in Phuket,when i pass throught it(9 am and 7 am)in never saw any control by them....

Need to fly tomorrow from Phuket to Bkk.Is possible to buy ticket direct at Phuket airport?

12 hours sounds little impossible:if i start 5 pm from Pattaya i will reach Phuket new terminal bus at 8.Can be a 15 hours trip from Korat to Pattaya?

Starting at 18.40 from Korat what time will reach Phuket by bus?

The fact is that i need to go there and bring my wife and my 2 years old boy here:but she doesn't want come by herself.

Please where i can find online timetable for this bus?

Avoiding to fly i need to be in Korat Saturday and back here in Phuket Monday......which is the best thing to do?Go direct from here to there by bus or go Bangkok first

Which is the convenient way to reach this place?Never been in Phuket,so sorry if I write a silly question

Both.he told me he done already and ask if is possible

So He can go and come back without any problem?

......that a friend of mine took a flight from Phuket to Pattaya with an overstay situation?Sounds strange for me.

I lose my psp and would like to buy new one:where i can buy in Pattaya and how much?Thank you/

From 5 to 10.000 monthly

As i will start a new job in the Phrom Pong area,did anyone suggest a cheap accomodation around there or near?Thank you

Where to buy halal food in pattaya?

The plane was not in deep Indian,Chinese or other sea.They are wasting money and time for nothing...My personal opinion

Have a stamp from this border last year...can my friend do a border run again oin few days?

Yes can get a 60 day extension to visit your wife. Those are the requirements from the police order.

You must of talked to a an agent that either didn't know about the 60 day extension or was trying to scalp you out of 30k baht.

Thanks Ubonjoe:those 60 days can be obtained in any immigration office?

2.24 In the case of visiting a spouse or children who are of Thai nationality:
Each permission shall be granted for no more than 60 days.

1. Application form.
2. Copy of applicant’s passport.
3. Copy of household registration certificate.
4. Copy of national ID card of the person having Thai nationality.
5. Copy of a marriage certificate or copy of a birth certificate.

So with this paper i can get a 60 day extension of my Non O visa?

Just back from a visa agency and they told me 60 day extension doesn't exist"i can get only the 7 days extension or 1 year and they care of everything for 30.000 baht.So please,at the moment,i am on a 3 months Non O visa based on my marriage:which are my solution?Thank you

Ubonjoe for get the 60 day extension what paper i need to provide?

Wife tambien baan is registered in Pattaya,and tomorrow need to extend Non O visa:is possible to do at Korat immigration?And please which documents i need to provide?Going tomorrow i will get the extension in the same day?Thanks a lot
