P4K

So I got a 2way ticket in and out from bangkok for 30 days> but I'm traveling to phuket today and just bought my ticket (one way ticket). Will I need a ticket back to bangkok in order to travel to phuket or no? Can I just tell them that I'm going to buy one out of thailand once I get to phuket?

how difficult of a process is this cause im reading stories of people getting declined after making a boarder run and such, im really having 2nd thoughts about going now, %wise how likely is one to succeed in this?

Do not worry too much. It is not as bad as all that.

I would suggest:

• Buy a one-way ticket from Phuckett to Penang (probably on Air Asia, about $80) for the Monday/Tuesday closest to 30 days after your arrival in Phuckett.
• Arrive in Thailand on a visa exempt entry (30 days).
• (Optional: Reschedule you Penang flight and get a 30 day extension of your visa exempt entry for about $60)
• Fly to Penang and get a single entry tourist visa for about $35. Accommodation in Penang iis fairly cheap, and it is worth visiting for a couple of days anyway.
• Travel back to Thailand overland cheaply, or fly back (your choice)
• Receive 60 days on entry back into Thailand.
• If you want to stay longer, apply for a 30-day extension of stay for about $60.

I have left out a lot of the details, but this should work fine.

could I buy a 2way ticket? from phuket-penang then back? or they wouldnt allow that?

thanks for the answers, so if all goes smoothly and I can get 90 days total at first would I be able to get another 60days by doing a border run? how easy is this/ hard is this?

so I just talked to the woman from the thai embassy and she said the only way I can do it is a border run from laos. So yea thanks s/o to the guy who suggested that, the woman said I can only extend 60 days at a time so if I plan on staying longer than 3 months I'd have to do 2 border runs?

ok sorry if im being annoying Im a huge noob at this let me just restate my plan. I want to go to phuket from tomorrow or the day after until like mid february, what is the cheapest/most effective way I can accomplish this?

sorry Im canadian** I forgot to mention that, does it change anything lol?

Follow the advice in my first post.

can I just go straight to vientiane then, get a 3 month visa then go to phuket?

was the woman lying when she said she cant give me a tourist visa from budapest or is that actually true? and I havent bought my ticket yet, what would be the fastest/cheapest way for me to get a tourist visa? and if I can only stay up to 3 months can someone explain how to do a boarder run?

sorry Im canadian** I forgot to mention that, does it change anything lol?

so Im a 21 year old guy whos been travelling europe for the past few months and I want to go to phuket for 4-5 months. Im currently in budapest and went to the thai embassy but was told that since Im not a hungarian citizen I cant recieve a tourist visa for thailand from here in budapest and was told to apply once I get to thailand (the woman said its very easy to get). I have yet to buy a plane ticket but I'm gonna buy one tonight for tomorrow.

as I understand I have to get a ticket with a return flight for 30>days or I wont be let through? so if I do this whats the step by step process once I get to phuket in order for me to stay there for 4-5months?
