    Welcome to modern chiang mai, the glory days passed long ago. Now its an overrun tourist ghetto that mainly extracts money from foreigners. Also keep in mind most hotels do not have kitchens. You want a kitchen you'll need an airbnb but expect to pay 20-30k per month for a shoe box. Also dont forget about 1000-2000 baht for an air purifier in your room so you dont feel ill everyday.

    Yes even Chiang Mai, they strongly disliked I used covid extensions to stay a while during the pandemic thats why I am curious how it will go for you.

    I'll be interested to see how it goes with the tourist visa, its a good thing but not a guarantee for entry. I would bet you still get grilled with questions but if you keep your cool you should be able to enter. Please do come back and update us as to what happens.

    not only does it look disgusting, it is directly liver toxic and you are committing slow suicide.

    I would not, we have reports cnx officials post covid do not like long stayers or people with a bunch of covid extensions.

    Unfortunately the good ol days have passed long ago. Your really rolling the dice now. If you already have several visits to thailand in your passport, expect to be denied entry.

    The thai news said today she was in suan phueng, ratchaburi province, near border of myanmar. She was preparing to flee there but she felt guilty and turned herself in to save image of thai people. She will go back to usa and serve the punishment.

    This has to be a mistake, there were about 80k and 90k US arrivals in Nov and Dec 2022. The US has never ever had anywhere near the stated 240k in a month during the peak years in 2018-2019.

    He was a very smart man and kind soul who had a falling out with his beautiful wife in America. He left his wife and one child and moved to Pattaya, Thailand. Ever since the split with his family his life had been in a bit of a downward spiral but he seemed to have been getting it together lately in Pattaya and restarting his youtube channel. God only knows what happened. RIP Leo, you will be missed greatly.

    the AQI is bad 12 months per year and has been for many years. you accept that or find another country.

    nature, no masks....your in the wrong region. I would recommend eastern europe.

    I would think leaving for a month several times per year then coming back thats a legit tourist, what job in thailand would allow that ?

    I just had trouble getting into DMK with a tourist visa from penang and I had been out of the country for a full month too in two different countries. But still taken away for questioning and providing documents. Ultimately I got in, but its really unsettling. It has me looking for other countries to go to. Too much hassle and stress for a normal tourist. Also they put my onward flight in the computer, what is that meaning?

    I had a tourist visa and a few covid extensions but thats it. Because you have a lot of time in thailand your asking for big problems with this method. You can roll the dice but be prepared for the worst case scenario. Your coming in on a visa exempt tourist entry but they know and you know your not really a tourist, thats the problem .

    Im just a tourist. I went to KL for 2 weeks, tried to fly back into CM direct for a visa exempt entry. They were upset with me and wanted to send me back to KL or my home country. They took me to a back room, and i had to explain everything. What saved me is i showed them a flight ticket out to Korea and 30,000 baht cash in my wallet. If i didnt have this no way they would have let me in.

    its over man, CM blew me up. they are all strict now.

    You have two injections. To inject substances into your body to board that plane, thats called a restriction.

    Sherpa updated, cant believe it. Thailand has now joined only 15 other countries in the world with this bs. https://pr.moph.go.th/?url=pr/detail/2/04/184146/

    35% of the world is Unjected, with 140+ countries open to them with zero restrictions. I have never seen such an epic disaster for thailand.

    You may want to wait until after JAN 5 meeting, the health minister is proposing random arrival testing and checking for at least 2 injections for ALL international arrivals now that china is opening. Really insane, would be a death blow for tourism as most would choose vietnam, cambodia, philippines, malaysia at that point.

    @JoseThailand did they ask for anything going into Lao?
  24. at15
    That was my feeling too after some weird experiences with immigration recently. Everything is looked at very closely nowadays including the 30 day extensions.

    Has anyone had to do this to enter Laos? Would a 7 eleven test be accepted? Just seeing how much of a hassle this really is...thanks.
