That would be a 60 day Tourist visa with option of getting an extension of stay for another 30 days.

So, although I have been at my address for 2 years and have completed a TM 30, if I stay at a hotel for 1 night in the same province, does it mean that I have to re report my address before I do my next 30 day report?? Seems absurd.

You will find now that only some hospitals are allowed to do the check.

In the bad old days any clinic but not now

I did one last November at a small clinic with no problems.

How can you compare Pattaya's filthy stinking beaches to the beaches in Phuket...obviously haven't ventured far from the bar scene to make that assumption.

We are talking about beaches in this thread. Are you sure you don't wanna rethink this? 

My friend in Phuket had to get a police report for losing his departure card on request from immigration only 2 months ago.

My understanding is that required funds are 400k unless this has recently changed.

I was there yesterday to pick up my non o and although the requirements state you need to show financial proof for this visa, i wad not asked for any bank statements so i am thinking it would be unlikely for a SETV although i could be wrong.
