  1. The first guy has a 4000 baht option and Joe I believe it's 5000 to go ban pakard. Flying requires mini van or bus to and from DM.
  2. Sorry delay response. Yes mask mandatory and yes things have changed. Why I said go there ask for forms and yes should be quicker at 3 pm as very busy now with so many people doing everything. There's a photocopier inside and a young guy does it for 3 baht.
  3. Yes a passport photo, extension visa form and form landlord signs about stay available from immigration office, plus copy of incoming stamp on visa and passport. No covid details. Plus wear a mask!
  4. You'll need copies and forms. Visit to check and for 3 baht get copies there and try for 3 pm when not busy. Otherwise expect a wait.....
  5. Bangkok bank don't charge me for deposits or withdrawals, still XE says up to 3 days for transfer and rates vary every day.
  6. Undoubtedly get responses but see increasing teams competing as increasing the dilemma teams face at being bundled out. Reducing teams better option to watching wet paint dry for 80 minutes or so with 5 minutes of actually shots at goal. After all kicking the ball between players up to 500 times each with no score is this what appeal's to so many?
  7. Yes losing money. Sorry. I started with WU, but caused problems after opening several accounts to avoid problems bought about by assisting Thais, they see as unreliable but let's leave that alone. I compared the 2 you mentioned and others and find Remitly the best as they don't increase their fee depending on how much, plus it's in your bank in minutes. Your exchange rate is weaker but less delay, depending on your need, as rates vary every day.
  8. I know it was a few months back but it like operates limited hours like 10 am to 4 pm. Flights arriving outside this and passengers get ripped for 200 baht even though their meter. Strange there's a sign at DM says report any meter taxis charging set rates. I looked for someone else to share 200 fee and luckily our hotels not far apart
  9. No fee or e visa into Malaysia I presume. Flew to Hat Yai and looked at the options. But thanks for the info. I'm sure others will follow at that price. I presume mini bus to border from Hat Yai bus station? I did check that out for something to do as stayed at train station motel and a motel closer to airport before heading to Singapore who now require a fee to enter. I was in transit.
  10. Masks are not compulsory but with new variants, you don't wear at your risk. Airline staff do, IO do. Travel insurance by Thai company not needed, but your own countries always worth having. Taxis operating per normal. Yes swampy back pre covid from my comings and goings.
  11. Easier. No papers to fill prior to arrival. They do fingerprints so your history is there I guess. I got no rhetoric for a change, but I did read someone came across a female IO gave them some chat, so I chose a male IO to queue in his line. Baggage arrival took longer.
  12. I have said here before in July I did this. No covid issues just have a copy of vacs handy. I stayed at Udon caught a 11 baht train at 7am to Nong and 100 baht taxi to border checkpoint. By 8 am border open and I was over and back in an hour and cheap mini buses run regularly back to Udon near checkpoint. Buses into Laos like 20 baht one way, 30 baht back. I got asked where I was staying in Laos, but said I was in Laos one day but not overnight. I did have e visa into Laos paid and copy before I arrived Laos. Best option for less hastle. Flew to Udon from DM. Taxis to and from airport Udon 200 baht.
  13. There was a post earlier this year a business "Meesuk" were doing it from Bangkok. Price 3500.
  14. Is this airport with proximity to Pattaya currently used by any airlines? Air Asia flew there from KL awhile back. Was an alternative to DM. They began with a few daily's but eventually one. Probably none now.
  15. Delivery drivers and motor bike taxis returning to their post everyday are dangerous. About time they got hefty fines as well.
  16. I used to rely on WU from Australia to Thailand and had many years of success. Had to change account a few times as uncertainty receiver being Thai. Now have Thai bank account I use remitly. Gave up on WU even though usually best exchange rate but takes up to a day and longer over weekend. Remitly if you specify account, exchange rate not so good but for 100 baht or alternative, it's in account within 5 minutes. Delay once was Thai bank but a few hours not a day or longer with WU.
  17. Entered yesterday and just flight ticket....with passport. Even no rhetoric was great.
