That's great. Almost no point for getting a Thai License in that case.

Hi all, I'm a foreigner who got a Lao driving license for both car and motorbike and from what I read online, i'm allowed to use it to drive freely in Thailand thanks to the bilateral agreements between both countries. Does anyone have direct experience they can relate ? My other question is : can I convert my Lao driving license into a Thai one without taking additional tests ? Best

No one knows ?

Hey all, I'm a foreigner who speaks fluent Mandarin Chinese already but who would like to take the HSK 6 exam while studying for it in a school in Chiang Mai. Any recommendations for the best school ? If yes, do they provide a 1 year ED VISA ? Best

I've definitely seen the SWIFT option before when I transferred USD from my balance to a classic bank abroad (not a Wise account).

Right I see. I checked, and it's basically the same fee from transferring USD directly to a Thai Bank account than converting your balance to Thai Baht beforehand within wise. It's indeed not clear at all. I've got another question : Let's say I have a partner who has a Kasikorn account, could I send that partner money in Thai Baht from my balance knowing that the 50K Thai Baht limit doesn't apply to Kasikorn ? Also, would this be considered as a local transfer ? Thanks a lot for your answers !

Hi all, I've been reading that Wise limits transfer to Krungsri (50k Baht limit) whereas for example Bangkok Bank and Kasikorn accepts incoming transfer from Wise up to 2 Million Baht. I have two questions when withdrawing money from Wise to a Thai Bank Account : - If I have USD in my Balance within Wise, should I first convert it to Thai Baht within Wise and then withdraw it to my bank in Thailand ? - If I make a direct transfer from USD (without converting to Thai Baht beforehand) within my Wise Balance via SWIFT, does the the 50k Baht Limit to Krungrsi still apply ? Thank you in advance

Thanks to both of you for the precise answers, I didn't know that you could get a 30 day extension couple of weeks prior. Good to know for the future ! Thanks again.

Hi experts, My visa exempt stamp is due tomorrow on the 8th of July. If I go on Monday for an extension would it count as overstay knowing that the immigration office is closed over the week-end ? Best regards

I was in the exact same situation as you and they didn't even mention it.

What is "Global" ? You've got a link ? Thanks for letting me know !

Just went this morning in Chiang Mai. Very smooth process.

Thanks both for the very clear answers.

Might be a dumb question but not being fined is one thing, but could it be still be considered as an overstay in the system hence creating problems upon entry into Thailand in the future ?

Hi all, Simple question: I was wondering if there was any organized/competitive amateur football league in Chiang Mai ? I looked online but nothing much seems to be happening. Prove me wrong. Best

That's great. Thanks.

I'm due an extension on the 16th, which is Sunday. Can I go on the Monday the 17th without issue or because of the holidays does it mean that I need to go tomorrow ?

I remember before COVID that the unwritten rule was that 6-7 visa exempt entries by air would raise a few red flags, but even then it was quite rare you'd get denied entry. Has things changed since ?I see a lot of posts mentioning that after 3 visa-exempt entries by air you might get into trouble. Also, knowing that Thailand is desperate for tourists at the moment I find it hard to believe that you'd get denied entry after 3 visa-exempt entries by air,

I was afraid of that. It's hard to believe. Gives actually some extra room for a "higher-end" aquascaping business ha.

Right. I'll see if I can find something decent.

That's some crazy old school website but thanks a lot for your quick answer. Any other suggestions ?

Hi all, Yesterday I went to Kham Tiang Garden Market where the fish shops are situated, I was very impressed by the selection of fish, plants, rocks etc. This being said I couldn't find any nice-looking fish tank + cabinet. Does anyone know where I could buy a nice looking cabinet or even make a custom one ? Any location or website would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

Cool.

I see. I guess it won't be asked to provide one to get a 30 extension in that case ?

Thanks all for your valuable answers. I've entered Thailand on Saturday and as expected it was a very smooth process. The IO even mentioned that if I re-enter from October 1st, 45 days will be given to tourist eligible for a visa exempt. By the way, I didn't receive hence didn't fill a TM 6 Departure/Arrival card upon arrival. Is that normal ?
