    I don't completely understand your situation, but (if you're traveling thru C.Rai) I suggest u go to Chiang Rai Imm office and ask them what they recommend. It might save you a frustrating r-t to Mae Sai.

    for general knowledge: the hwy connecting C.Rai and Mae Sai has about 6 construction areas, so the driving time is about 150% what it normally is.

    I cant make more extension i got non O 90 day in june and in september i extend for 60 day and i need to leave thailande for have new entry and extension

  2. Did someone get 30 day recently ?

    you can likely get 30-day extention if you renew (coming off a prior visa-on-arrival) ....BUT NOT CLOSE TO THE END OF YOUR PRIOR v-o-a. And also if it's the 1st or maybe the 2nd renewal. Even tho the law has specified for at least 20 years that a person can renew a v-o-a (at least the initial remewal) without a problem. THE LAW IS WISHY WASHY NOW. In other words, it's up to the feelings of the border authority behind the window. He/she may say yes, or may say no, depending on his/her mood, your appearance, time of day, etc. The consolation is: if the Thai border person says NO, then you can go 1 Km up to their Imm office and pay Bt.1,900 to get a renewal - and hopefully you time it for when the office is open.

    Some friends and I are going to Chiang Rai next month. We want to cross over to Tachilek and check it out. Do we need a full $50 Visa to do that? Or are there day passes we can pay for at the border. We all have no issues with Thai Visas as we are retired and have Multiple Entry Visas. Thanks!!

    you don't need a visa from a Bumrese embassy/consulate to enter Tachilek. If you want to venture to other Burmese states (outside of Shan State) then yes, you do need a proper visa. Note: there are online visas available, but they're not good for entering Tachilek. They're only good for entering Burma at Yangon or Mandalay.

    As for day passes or VIP. As I posted a few days ago. THEY'RE NOT READILY AVAILABLE. as they used to be. The border official said they may be available in Nov, but he grinned and said 'Bangkok' and didn't really know. Again, it's a sugjective call at the Thai side. On the Burmese side, no problem - they're all good-natured and accommodating. It's the Thai side which are uptight and subjective and vacillating and mete out the rules according to their moods - and whatever directive comes out of Bkk that day/hour.

    You should just be able to cross, get a day visa in Tachilek that costs you 500B, or sometimes they will accept a nice crispy new US $10 note.

    If you don't really want the stamps in your passport you can always try for a VIP pass on the Thai side, take 2 copies of the front page of your passport and 100B.

    day passes are doubtful now for white-skinned farang. For Chinese, I think it's easy. Not sure about Chinese-looking foreigners from Taiwan, Korea, etc. It's a toss-up.

  3. 6,000 Euros. Wow! thats 240k thb

    We may see criteria for the new METV vary between embassies and consulates, but I wouldn't be surprised if they all, at least, drop the triple entry.

    Which equals some 40,000/month.

    Accommodation,food, transport etc. could easily cost that !

    It will be interesting to see what conditions other Thai Embassies impose as conditions for issuing the METV

    i would agree that at the triple entry TV is likely to be dropped. 3

    The amount is fair especially when you consider a retiree has to fund 400k for 6 months. I'm just surprised they set the bar so high!

    I agree. If the embassies/consulates neighbouring Thailand follow suit that will be interesting. And especially if the double entry is dropped.

    Having an official set amount is exactly what Vientiane etc. need so that everyone knows where they stand. Let people have unlimited back to back METV's as long as they can show the funds.

    quite cheaper lol in france for a single non o 90 day , you need to show 5000e

  4. Please let me know if I am mistaken, aside from Tourists, but regarding Foreigners who live here, do you not pay the Thai price if you show a Thai driving license or yellow book?

    Short answer.... No!! Experience has been, seen as a 'farang'; no exception whether been here long term or not. You're always a 'farang'.

    When Thai's introduce themselves and ask me who I am, I reply a farang.It really pisses them off.

    only at sukothai and the grand palace they want i pay falang price , other place i speak that to them and they let me in

  5. Went to the Grand Palace last week price now 500Baht my wife went on for free Thai lisence does not work

    that why i never want to go there 500b just crazy

    same like in france the castle there french people dont pay but foreign torurist pay should be good like that but it not

    everyone pay or no one , when i see at siam paragon 1000b for go to the aquarium and 200 300b for thai people that just crazy
