Koh Chang. 

Why cant they change the dates of the flight home after booking? It will probably incur a fee but cheaper than buying a one way ticket. I would assume that they can get a 30 day TV when getting of the ship.

I have been stopped twice as well in the arrivals hall after exit. No search just showed them my duty free. I was not over the limit. My advice is its not really worth it for say 500B. 

With the Baht strengthening so much over the last 12 months. You would think imported products would be coming down in price.

I live in the UAE as well as Thailand. I am paid what they call a Goods and Services Differential. The cost of living difference based on certain products between the US and the UAE. This is reviewed every 6 months. The cost of living in the UAE has risen 6% in the last 6 months. Partly because they introduced VAT at 5% even on food which i find the ultimate in pure greed.

Must be greedy retailers in Thailand i guess. Or maybe the increase in the oil price. This effects everything. The cheese is way over priced in the UAE as well.  

The best one i heard said in a sarcastic way that wearing a helmet. "Messes up their hair" Ladies of course.

Its around 6300 B - 700 AED. In my case this works. I will continue to go in and out for work for a while yet. It just allows me to get things set up how i want for the future in Thailand. Not for everyone's situation though i know. The killer was the medical report. I will get that done in Thailand next time. 

I am just doing mine right now in Dubai. The medical report was a rip off here like everything else in the UAE but other than than that it was fairly straightforward to do it where i currently live. 12 months multi entry.
