If you meet some girls, please use your Nit Noi Thai and find out if they just came back from a bar.

 

If yes, then please do not engage. These ladies usually had a lot of contact to others, including Chinese men. 

Good advice thank you very much...

Also I forgot to add:

 

If you bring pounds sterling with you, which is probably the best advice, when you arrive at Suvarnabhumi airport, you can actually get very good exchange rates. Ignore all the booths in the arrivals lounge and baggage collection and go right down to the basement, follow the signs for the airport rail link to Phaya Thai station. In the basement you will find loads of exchange booths, but they offer much, much better rates than the ones in arrivals. Super Rich and K-Bank always seem to give great rates. I think the rates in the basement of the airport are the same as in central Bangkok.

 

Then once you've exchanged your cash you can get the rail link into the city for 45 baht - a major bargain compared to the taxis, plus you don't get stuck in traffic.

sweet mate thanks for the advise.. sounds like you have been there and donr this many times to know as much as you do... have you been on holiday there a lot or are you living there my friend?

Is your mobile sim free/ unlocked?

If it is you can pick up up a SIM card, on floor two of BKK /Survarnabumi, just as you exit customs. ( you can pre order a sim online with a 15 day internet package, I’ve done it with DTAC, after you spend more than 200THB, after the initial package, you can enter a code and keep the credit valid for a year, if you will be back again)

I keep a UK sim and a Thai sim in the phone always!

You can keep all your document copies in the cloud (as suggested above) which is much cheaper using a local sim data package (they have on request, 24 hour internet Packages, which don’t repeat/ refresh for about 30baht /£0.75)
 

usefull info..

Thank you.

If you don't have a Thai bank account, using your UK bank card in a Thai ATM can incur brutal charges. There's a 220 baht charge at the ATM, your bank will almost certainly charge you a foreign transaction charge, and the rate might be less than favourable - will probably cost you around £20 per transaction. To avoid this I used to carry a few thousand pounds with me and keep it safe, either well hidden in a secret part of my bag or kept in the safe, then change it up as you go as the exchange rates here are at least 15% better than in the UK. Or look at other options such as cards with no foreign ATM fee for example. Also, keep your credit card and debit card separate - so that if your wallet goes missing you still have access to cash. Notes need to be in mint condition, plus you get a small bit extra if changing £50 notes.

 

To make sure there's no funny business at the airport, make sure you have 20k baht or equivalent (take £550 just to be sure), have a printout of your hotel booking, and your return ticket (if you have one, if you don't, buy a cheap refundable ticket to show at immigration then refund it once you get settled in, although that might be overkill.).

 

If you take out travel insurance, make sure you have all the documentation and contact numbers with you. Consider writing the key details on a piece of cardboard and keep it in your wallet with your cards. Also make a colour copy of your passport and keep it safe. Thai copy shops can shrink the information page to a credit card-sized laminated card which you can carry in your wallet which is a good idea.

 

Also, if you have any emergency contact phone numbers make sure you have these written down somewhere in case your phone gets lost, unless of course you can remember them.

 

If you are considering looking for employment either in Thailand or a neighbouring country, then you're gonna need your birth certificate, degree certificate and transcript, and maybe details of a reference.

Hiya mate that was the best piece of advise ever thank you so much for your time and consideration... 

that is very helpful 

Kind Reagrds

Ok that is very usefull information thabnk you very much for your advise..

I will take some of those precautions… 

Kind Regards

Really required is only passport and cash.

But i would advise to take a credit card, and maybe a backup credit card.

If you plan to drive the driving license + IDP, as you already mentioned.

Not really required, but in case you end up in hospital it could be helpful: Health insurance contact information and policy.

Thanks for the quick reply...

What could be helpful for the health insurance the credit card or the IDP?

Thanks 

Hiya all...

Just wondered if any of you experienced expats could advise me on all the important documents I would need to take with me for my trip to Thailand..

I am an English citizen.. wanting to go for a long holiday perhaps 2 or 3 months maybe more if possible, providing all is good.... 

Ive got a uk license and a uk passport.. I already have got my IDP going to be getting a multi entry visa..

Is there any thing else that would be very important for my trip that I need to take into consideration?????

Thanks in Advance and kind Regards...

So lets say for example I wanted to go into business with my thai friend not saying that will happen just curious to know the facts how it worls over there... 

They would own 51% I would own 49% would I need a work permit?

The OP has two current threads. The other asks for advice on best visa to enter Thailand. 

Stating never been to Thailand before. 

Then this thread asks advice about work permits, in such a naive way. 

Open bar etc. Hilarious.

 

yeah your right it has gone a little off topic but still good for the info regardless...

Yes, you would need to exit Thailand before your 60-day permission to stay expires (or extend your permission to stay for 30 days at a local IO - cost 1.900 THB).

At several border-crossings you can exit/enter same day and are not required to stay 24 hours (just hop-over and come back), some don't even require a Visa on entry when doing this but allow a - cheaper - same-day border-pass.

Doing a border-run just before the expiry of your 6 months METV, will provide you once again with a 60 day permission to stay (that can be extended 2ith an additional 30 days) > hence the almost 9 months you can squeeze out of an METV.

Yeah sounds like a good idea Thanks for the info..
