I guess i was not clear with my question. Lets try again. Will leaving the country (land border)before the 60 day limit on the VAT refund make any difference to the VAT refund claim?

Thanks for the info. Its helps us make decisions.. One more thing. As all good tourists do, he purchased a nice new camera on arrival and plans to get a VAT refund on exit. He has the VAT Refund papers from the shop. We know that he can only obtain this when flying out from DM or BKK airport...My question is, leaving and returning via land border before he flies out make any difference to the VAT Refund process?

My best mate from NZ (NZ passport)just arrived in Bkk. He was expecting(and asked IO at the AP) a 60 day Tourist stamp on arrival. However only issued a 30 day, he did ask but IO said no with no reason... He's looking to stay the maximum time allowed, 90 days. Correct me if im wrong please; from my experience he has 2 options: Go up to Lak Si Immigration and request/ pay for the 60 day stamp at the end of his 30 day stint or Fly out and in again in the hopes of getting the 60 day on arrival?

(According to my last 90 day report, I only need to Notify my address again April 18th.)

Sorry bit of confusion on my part.... My Bangkok employer has ended my current work permit on the 28th Feb, my new employer in Phuket starts March 1st, (I need to be at phuket immigration 9am March 1st) Basically I'm wanting to know if I need to leave the country and enter again on a different visa, or if I get the 7 days to get to phuket and start the new work permit.

I'm in a same, similar position. Sorry to hijack this thread... Can someone say if you are granted 7 days to leave the country after your work permit is nullified?

At the moment working in Bkk. But i am planning on moving South to some open land at the end of the year. Hence doing some homework and preparation before hand. I'd only want 1 for sure.

Greetings, just came across your thread. I know its quite a while later but, i would be most interested if a pup were to be available sometime this year?

Thanks doods

Anyone have good info on solo camping in Thailand? Either within the national parks or any where else that can be suggested? I'd like to hike somewhere remote/ quiet and camp away from people. Is that even possible in Thailand? I am looking to spend a few days away in the bush walking, hiking some trails and setting up camp somewhere along the way. Preferably mountainous/ river/ ravine. (If there are any real campers in here please drop a PM if you prefer not to say out in the open)
