So the casino bus is a big tour/coach bus?

Yes, a large and generally pretty comfortable bus. Get the bus from Central Bang Na. Academic (you almost certainly do not want to do this) most casino buses will sell you a return ticket for 300 baht if you return on the same bus. The trouble is that you will end up spending about 6 hours in Rong Kleua/Poipet, and apart from the casino and a bit of shopping, there is nothing to do. I just mention it in case you like spending a few hours in a casino.

Hi Tim,

So if I didn't take the return/same bus back it's only an extra 100 baht (200 each way)? Where exactly do I get the bus at Central Bang Na? Do you know the departure schedule/how often they leave between 5-10am? If I don't take the same bus back, there are others frequently heading back to Central Bang Na from Poipet that I can hop on? With the $30 USD visa fee entering Cambodia do I need passport sized photos as well? Lots of questions sorry! Thanks for your help!!

Just wondering if there exists a daily deals website/app (dining, entertainment, shopping, travel- like Groupon) for Bangkok/Thailand? Thanks!

Ok good to know, thank you! Anyone know the cheapest option for border runs?

Ok, thank you! So really not worth it to ever get the 30 day extension? Any border runs you suggest and how much? I heard the Cambodian border run is getting stricter, have you heard anything about it? Cheers!

My first 60 days is coming up next week on my METV. Is it like when I was here on exempt entries, where I can go to immigration, pay 1900 for a 30 day extension? Is it possible to get a longer extension, or is it 30 days max? I assume after the extension I have to leave the country, then when I come back can repeat the process (stay for 60 days, go to immigration for the 30 day extension)?

Thanks for the info everyone! Anyone use BMO back in Canada and a bank here in Thailand? E-transfers are super easy with BMO in North America. Wondering if it's the same easy process to transfer CAD funds to an account here?

Cheers

Hi Everyone,

Just wondering if you could please share some knowledge on the process of opening a Thai bank account. Is there a minimum deposit? Are you only issued a debit card or is it a credit/debit card? Is it easy to transfer funds to/from a Canadian bank account? Which bank offers the best service- ie Internet banking, transfer/withdrawal limits and international account transfers?

Thanks very much!

Ok, thanks Sheryl! I remember too going to St Louis Hospital before and they took my blood pressure and weighed me upon arrival and charged a couple hundred baht for that as a nursing/administrative fee! I went there a second time and didn't let them do it and wasn't charged. Is this normal procedure? Pretty sure the nurse didn't write down that information anywhere! Is it like this at Bumrungrad and SMATIVJET?

Hi All,

Wondering if anyone knows where I could find Panerai watches here in Bangkok?

Thank you!

Thanks DUS!

Forgot to add that's UNLIMITED entries for the duration of the visa. From my understanding, you can enter back into Thailand the day before your visa is up and then have another 60 days, which can then be extended another 30, essentially making it a 9 month visa. Can anyone tell me if that's correct? Cheers!

Got my 6 month (60 days per entry) tourist visa from the embassy in Ottawa. Very smooth, quick process! $200 CAD, just had to fill out the form, show your airline ticket confirmation, couple passport photos and then it's ready for pickup 3 days later!

Any ideas on what the cost of an X-Ray and doctor's fees would be at both hosptials? Cheers!

Also at SMATIVJET did you have to make an appointment beforehand or did you just show up/walk-in? Thanks!

Thanks everyone! Any idea on what I should expect to pay at Bumrungrad and SMATIVJET?

Hi All,

Need to see a sports specialist about my foot/big toe. Anyone know any good foot/toe sports doctors in Bangkok? Likely need an x-ray at least, possibly an ultrasound as well. Any and all information is very much appreciated! Thanks everyone!

Looking for the best spot to buy luggage (large suitcase on wheels and small rolling carry on) in BKK, near BTS/Sukhumvit. Looking for good quality, low prices!

Thank you!

Hi All,

Just wondering if you could tell me where I can find high quality watches (Armani, Nixon, Tissot, Tag) with tags and cases and also ray Ban sunglasses with high quality cases?

I've been to MBK and while they have quality knock offs, they don't have tags or cases that come with...

Anyone know where I could find lower priced real products or high quality replicas?

Looking and bringing gifts home for friends and family (but on a budget!)

Thank you very much!
