  1. i missed one in Dec< as i got a new passport in Nov and forgot, so waited till March when i transferred stamps to new passport, got new 1 year extension and paid 1,000 baht fine for missed 90 days > all with an agent in Phuket Phuket has always been 1,000 baht no receipt, 2,000 baht receipt. NO RED stamp 🙂
  2. Central festival has higher priced stores,/ Central than has local priced stores and lots of restaurants and 2 food malls so wins by a mile Nai yung to central 34 or less kms cancel ur no pool hotel an re book one on the beach road, its low season so u can get a great deal
  3. its monsoon season so red flags out on the beach, be careful with the kids> rather than Patong head to Central Mall in Phuket town for shopping western foods taxi or better, why not rent a car for the day?
  4. ask the airline NOT here if they require< use https://bookonwardticket.com/
  5. they have "connections" with some immigration offices> Approval of conversion from visa exempt/tourist visa to non o & extension's is Always up to the immigration official person Does NOT have to be there ( except Jomtien) afaik example , out of the 22-30,000 some agents charge in phuket for extensions, no baht in Bank 1, 900 goes for the extension, 2-5,000 goes to the agent, remainder goes to .....
  6. LOL: guess u never visited kamala, Surin or Bang Tao during high season Layan is the only one ( NOT weekends) that gets very very few tourists as there is NOTHING for them but the beach an Sea NO shops NO restaurants NO Massage Not umbrellas or chairs
  7. New US passport was issued in Nov but wanted to do new extension and transfer stamps at same time so did it all in March this year, letter not asked for also did it at an immigration ( using an agent) where the previous extension was issued> they stopped issuing letters last year NO problem
  8. many i know here in Phuket use an agent (S) in phuket Extensions ( this year) issued in Kamphaengphet redo TM 30 for phuket do 90 day reports in Phuket ( online not allowed) No problem, FYI: no problem shopping around and changing agents if you a find a better deal
  9. I prefer mission, same quality care and Drs, but half the price
  10. get ur extension in Pattaya as before File a NEW tm 30 with ur new address in a different province do ur 90 day reports there

    Patong - The Wake

    go live at turtle beach with Steve Rosse FYI: its very easy to live on phuket island with less than $1,000/month ( even for 2 of us) we eat well, dont drink or bar hop and mostly cook at home
  12. you can stay up to 14 days and travel up to 15 kms from town FYI: IF you have a visa you can fly further into Burma ( Like Yangon) Get multiple reentry permit for 3,800 baht Burmese side a crisp $10 bill seat on the boat are like 50-100 baht each way as to ur ban ( UK passport) wont know till u try 🙂 Food suck there
  13. Cina travel street 130 near riverside thai tourist visa 4-5 days $60
  14. lots of middle easterners and Chinese now Seems, (at least here in Kamala) we never had a normal low season.
  15. i have to ask WHY? it would be cheaper to fly if u were travelling alone Now if u were vacationing and stopping to see the sights it would make sense ( to me as i've done it form Phuket) but straight thru????
  16. 4th floor central phuket town 1st floor Robinsons in Thalang and most likely any bank anywhere
  17. if she had a visa or extension an did not get a re entry permit. The visa/extension is finished ... she can come in visa exempt for 30 days, pay for a 30 day extension if she wants have never heard of anyone getting a NON O off of a brother but if she did. good for her BUT she will need start all over
  18. 2022 was 16,000, than she raised it to 25,000 when i found someone for 22 Now i hear her prices have dropped very good service but 25 was way out of line
  19. wow, ur being ripped off royally friend of mine , had the 800,000 in the bank but had a bad experience with immigration in Phuket and has refused to ever go back there Paid an agent 10,000/year to do his yearly extension for him ( 90 day reports as well) ask around ur immigration
  20. Cina travel street 130 will get it to ya in 5 working days>
  21. immigration was far better BEFORE these volunteers were there

    Patong - The Wake

    It's a private hospital that provides Social Insurance treatments from the Thai government. Mission hospital is a medical institution established in the 1940s by the Seventh-day Adventist Church. when i first went in 2 weeks ago, i was seeing a dr nurse in 2 minutes and a dr in 5 when i had my appt, waited 10 minutes but i was early> I have been using them for years, YES Bangkok -phuket and Siriroj are pushed for Farangs, but they cost more for the same care and service, Cost wise its alot less than the 2 international ones, BUT maybe 35% higher than the government ones ( Vachira , Patong, Thalang) but the quality is far better> waited an hour? sure it could happen if there has been a rush of people showing up to, but down a hospital cause 1 person had to wait....... I went in once about 8 years ago with a busted collarbone and had a shot of morphine within 5 minutes got insurance? of course go for the most expensive .

  25. take both passports< Since ur OLD passport is now cancelled , you will be stamped out on ur new one, they will make a note of it as well in the new one> come back with a 60 day visa exempt on new passport I'd avoid Poi Pet Go to Laos
