Thanks for the replies. POEMS seems my best bet. @phronesis - I am just looking at Citibank Singapore but from what I read you need to be either A Singaporean resident or an employment passholder (not sure what that is) - are you sure one (a non-Singaporean, non-resident etc) can open an account there remotely from Thailand??

@jamesthailand - do you need a stock broker to buy the TDEX (or other ETFs) or can you do it through a bank? Thanks!

Hi all,

Does anyone know of a stock broker in Thailand that can trade on other Asian markets other than the SET? I am looking to open a trading account in Thaiiand but I also want to buy stocks and/or ETFs on other Asian markets, particularly Singapore. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi all,

Are there any regulations that prohibit a foreign owner of a condo to rent it out? If there are, are there options to go around it, like using a Thai to do the managing of it?

Thanks in advance

Hi all,

I have lost my Thai departure card that is usually stapled in your passport by immigration when you arrive. Can anyone tell me what I should do? Can I just show up at the airport for my flight out of Thailand and it will be sorted there or should I sort this out at immigration before I go to the airport to avoid delay/hassle? Thank you in advance.

Hello, can anyone recommend a good interior designer in Bangkok. I want some work done on my condo, basically lighting, paint and blinds. Thanks in advance

Hello,

I am looking to to furnish my condo. I got one small company to build my walk-in closet - they did a great job but very expensive and he gave me quotes for further stuff and they're extremely high in my view. Can anyone recommend a good company or individual, I'm looking to build a cabinet, electric blinds, paint, lighting especially. The would have to speak english and they would have to take pride in their work and do top notch work. Thanks!

Ok thanks for the info

So can I get 7 and then overstay for 1?

Hi there, can I extend my 30 day entry by 8 days at the immigration office? I have an air ticket out that's 8 days after my entry expires. Thanks.

Return before Sept 1st to get 90 days.

That's what I thought and was hoping, thanks!

Hi, quick question. I have a one year Non-Immigrant Business visa. It's good until Sept 1. Every time I enter Thailand they give me 90 days and then I have to leave and come back again - cannot extend or do the 90 days reporting. My question is, if I leave and enter back into Thailand on August 31, will they give me another 90 days or just one day (until Sept 1 when the visa expires)? Thanks!

Hello,

I have a one year business visa (non-immigrant , multiple entry. However, when they stamp me in at immigration I get 90 days. My 90 days are almost up now. Do I have to leave the country and come back or can I just go to Immigration in Bangkok to report/extend for next 90 days?

Thanks in advance

38,000 Baht. It's from Canada. I've heard they're selling for 50,000 at MBK but I've never actually seen that (or looked), just heard...

how much and from what country? USA, UK or Hong Kong?

I am really just curious though as to what the going rate is in Bangkok either at MBK or Pantip Plaza or Central if anyone knows...??

Not sure, but if you're interested I have a brand new one, still in the sealed box, unlocked, 16gig.

Thanks

Anyone know if the One Stop Visa Center on Pahonyothin can extend tourist visas or do I have to go to Suan Plu? Thanks.

Seems you know your stuff re Mae Sot-Myawaddy!...

Mae Sot is a very interesting town, there are numerous Burmese and Karen workers/exiles etc in Mae Sot so yes Burmese is spoken a lot even on the Thai side, but certainly not 'only Burmese'. There are some beggers, but not the 'streets are not full of them'. Mae Sot is a booming town, has been for years, and is actually one of the more prosperous small towns in the country. it's worth checking out, and like I said in my previous post, the visa run at the border is straightforward. Regarding the 500 Baht or 10 dollars, i'm not 100 percent sure but i believe they will demand 500 baht even if u gave them 10 dollars. Perhaps if u didn't have any Baht and just us dollars on u they'd accept it but expect to pay 500 Baht.

No you don't.

Thank you. Do I need a plane ticket or anything like that?

That visa run is straight forward. There is no fee to come back to Thailand but there is a fee for a Burmese one day permit, which is 500 Baht. You don't have to spend any time on the Burmese side and you can only spend the day there, not the night, all you need to do is cross the bridge from Thailand, pay the 500 Baht, wait 10 minutes for your permit, then exit, then cross back into Thailand.

Hi all,

Can some one confirm that a 2 month tourist visa can be extended for another 30 days? I know it used to be that way but just making sure that still applies. Also, can the extension be done at any immigration office in Thailand? Thanks in advance.

Hi all,

I just returned from Kota Bharu. Had no problems getting tourist visa (my third one), no questions asked, no ticket needed, no wait, easy. Thanks especially to Bishop for info.

Cheers Bishop, I'll check out the Kencana Lodge then.
