Golf is nice but 6000+ thb a round means I don't even bother to play here anymore!

please feel free to play up in northern thailand! you will find some very good golfcourses!

the greenfee starts for example for a brand new golfcourse (at the moment 6 holes) for only 30 baht one round - so if you play 3 rounds (=18 holes) you pay 90 baht - plus caddy-fee is 100 baht per round and 100 baht per round, if you like to rent a cart!

this golfcouse is outside chiangrai - waypoint in google maps is here:

or actually is a promotion on the maekok-army-golfcourse - 18 holes - in very good shape

greenfee incl. caddyfee is 300 baht only plus tipp up to you!

this fine golfcourse you will find here on google maps:

someone told me, that actually you have many golfers from bangkok who fly from bangkok to chiangrai play one round of golf and fly back in the late afternoon - cheaper and faster then to play around bangkok  or somewhere on the eastern seaside!

enjoy golf in one of the most beautiful areas from thailand!

BTW: santhiburi and waterford golfcourse have also special promotions!

It depends upon what the immigration office where you apply will accept.

You also need all the required supporting documents before you go the office.

of course i have all the required supporting documents already - except the family-house-photos and the map!
will go friday to maesai and ask them! thanks @ubonjoe

thanks alot @ubonjoe - very helpful - the photos is the only thing we must do before the meeting at the local immigration-office! (just in case for the marriage-visa!)

and i read i think in a posting, that the map should be handwritten and google-maps-copy is not accepted - right or not?

just read in your pdf (Map to your residence from the nearest main road or street.) or can i print the google-map-photo(or file)?

Isn’t it nice to see that helping out is being appreciated?????????

it is indeed very very appreciated "damascase"  and "OneeyedJohn"! 
i did not know, that i have to thanks every time to the posters for the help ????

i read this forum almost every day - have the newsletter 2times a day etc. etc. and so i just read that i can eventually wait till end of month to visit the local immigration office in maesai or chiangrai!

but i have a question to "@ubonjoe" or other members - what paperwork in detail i will have to show at the immigration office for 

a) extension 60 days (visit my wife! - i live with her already more then 32 years!!! ☺️

b) ev. application for retirement-visa

c) ev. application for marriage-visa

i am married with thai-wife loooong time already!

i have funds in my thai-bank-account more then 3 months - good (enough) for marriage-visa or together with my pension good for retirement-visa! - or the monthly-pension-amount is also ok already for marriage-visa! ????

my multiple-entry-non-immi-0-visa issued in savannakhet expired the 5th june 2020! so i am actually in the amnesty-law!

and ideas more for me? thanks alot! and thanks in advance already for any helpful informations!

farang-baba-bobo-nidnoi in chiangrai-province (????)

PS - my wish anyway is - that we can travel soon again around here in SEA - specially to our favorite country laos - and doing again the multiple-non-immi-visa in savannakhet and enjoy the laos beer and some delicious laos-food on the banks of the mekhong-river with the fantastic sunset!

will not wait till end of month (holidays/weekend etc.) - my "savannakhet-multipleentry-immigrant-0-visa" expired the 5th of june - now under amnesty - i will/must go to immigration chiangrai to apply for retirement-visa!

my questions:

1. what days can i apply for this visa?

2. what paperwork i must have ready for this visa?

i thinks (maybe i know) -

a) passport and copies from what pages?

b) proof of money (pension plus bank-account-statement - with a total of 800k for retirement-visa)

c) tablien baan from my wife

d) photos (how many?)

anything more?

3. do i have to make online an appointement for the visit at the immigration office in chiangrai?

the fee is 1900 baht? correct? and for a multiple exit-re/entry-visa 3800 baht? correct?

thanks for any helpful advise!

because i think, that laos/savannakhet will not open in the next future?! and if the border will open, what are the requirements from thai-gov when i return to thailand?

so - it make no sense to apply for extension 60 days - cost also 1900 baht!

i am married to thai-woman!

i have monthly pension and enough money in the bank for 800k

have a nice evening!

have been several times already more then 20 years ago with borderpass - by private car - motorbike etc. - also to monglar border to china! also playing golf in kengtung!

The 500 THB fee  you pay at Tachilek Immigration give you a border pass valid for 14 days in this province only .

I have been doing it   a few  time and slept overnight. 

yes correct - but you can pay also in us-dollars! - "the law" in myanmar is US dollars and not thaibaht - so if you convert 10 us dollars in baht - it's only 299,6 baht at the moment - so will save more then 200 baht - you can better spend the difference for shopping or myanmarbeers...! 

the border-pass is valid 14 days and valid for the town tachileik or if you wish to go even to kengtung - here is a public-bus for 400 baht one way - 160 km.

but also tachileik is worth to visit - not even the local border-market.

for golfers - visit the 18-holes golfcourse - very challenging!

for gamblers - hotel regina golf&casino - the casino is open 24 hours

for travel - visit the airport - daily flights with many airlines within myanmar

to travel on in myanmar from tachileik longer then 15 days in tachileik or shane-state (kengtung) you apply online for an e-visa

and do not forget to buy some nice booze - but not more then 1 litre p.p. allowed in thailand!

enjoy tachileik - another world just over the bridge - be aware - it is right-side traffic - and the time is 30 minutes behind thailand!

and what about the spray VENTOLIN for asthma?

Totally agree about Savannaket, perhaps the most boring place on the planet... 

no - this is absolutely not true - savannkhet is a very nice big town (second biggest in laos after VTE), direct on the mekhong-river! go there for the sunset with some beer laos and of course the best eggs in the world...(balut or kai luuk).
rent a motorbike and drive in to the backyards towards the vietnamese border! there is also a very beautiful lake not far from savannakhet.

also shopping and dining - good experience - the best way is - drive in with your own vehicle!!!

for accomodations you have the choice in some very comfortable hotels/motels/guesthouses for a very fair price!
