the DRs father, who is well respected Dr, was on channel 3 last Friday giving his voice to what the PM is doing about the problems in Phuket> Is daughter being assaulted and the swiss guys wife threaten his daughter she could have her shot and the police involvement, the take over of the chair rentals by Russians at Karon beach, the closure of Freedom beach, the smell of weed just about anywhere tourists are, the congestion on the roads, the Russian and French speaking arabs running amok on motorcycles and on and on Phuket had its chance in 2004 after the tsunami when few tourists were around and in 2022 when covid hit but they did Nothing to change things> Corruption is alive and doing fine in Phuket

they wont thai's buy their weed from friends, grow their own or buy online at 1/5th or less the price of what the shops sell it for to tourists!! so within a month or so, they wil all be gone EVEN if they convert to selling medical weed> people thta live here dont visit these shops cause they know that the prices are crazy

obtained here, https://card.weed.th/en got mine 2,000 baht

i got mine in phuket cause my car is phuket registered cost 50 baht, took a day. just bring ur book with ya Yes, temp import and some other paperwork done IN laos as well as buying ur insurance leaving Thailand u will be stamped out and will need get ur temp export doc , same as u did for Cambodia

not recently but from what i hear its the same I did it a few times pre covid book must be in ur name< needed cars passport ( get from same office u pay ur cars tax each year) it will be stamped in an out same as ur passport > pay for temp permit, buy insurance ( a MUST ) i was stopped a few times and they only asked for the insurance paper Drive on> great country to drive around, been all over an have exited once from 4,000 islands to Cambodia

they are ok here in Kamala as have not yet taken over BUT Kata/Karon i hear they have taken over the whole beach by offering obscene money for the rights to set up chairs forcing the thai's out most all motorcycle rentals now in Patong are Russian backed

some agents will do the 90 day for you for free, some charge 500 baht thats if you keep ur address where the agent got ur extension some immigrations allow online 90 day reports Phuket does NOT, if ur extension was issued elsewhere Some of us MOVE our address, ( file a new tm 30) to wherever we want. so can do the 90 day where we live ( also makes it easier if you need a cor)

they called together all bike rental places in Patong an told them that if they rent a big bike, ( over 150 cc) to any of these A#@holes and he causes trouble, the bike will be confiscated and they will have to pay a 25,000 baht fine> so it means that will now rent the smaller 150 to create chaos. the traffic stop between kalim and Kamala makes a fortune everyday 🙂

you seriously think there are that many kiwis wanting to be teachers in Thailand thta it was worth mentioning? 55555

i dont see the problem: arrive for most on a 30 day FREE visa exempt, pay 1,900 ( $53) for 30 day extension> fly home If ur worried about flying without a return ticket in 30 days use https://onwardflights.com/

makes ZERO sense just when the high season winds down they decide to increase fees> but hey, its thailand 🙂

for you , ur right, US passport is 52 pages and 10 years and cost $130 what does urs cost?

nothing on the Washington DC website about any increase https://washingtondc.thaiembassy.org/en/page/visa-fees-validity

in 99 retirement went from 200,000 ( or maybe 250,000) to 800,000 and been the same since

extensions ( be them for, 7 days denied, 1 month or 1 year) have been 1,900 baht seems like forever Have seen nothing anywhere that would indicate thta will change thaksin was elected in 2001 and i dont recall what the extension fees were back than

prices are still all aimed at the chinese market an little is selling> WAY overpriced all the new condos, poorly built homes in gated communities in PP will be like ghost town soon.

why?? arrive get a 30 day FREE visa exempt 30 day extension 1,900 baht ( $53) or travel and get one in laos, malaysia, Cambodia for $40! what is wrong with new Zealand?

forget the evisa an just get ur visa on arrival, saves you $$ and at most takes 10 minutes

you paid 5,000 baht OVER the price of the $130? wow I am not the smartest always in the room but was able to get thru the applications an got it back in 41 days in Nov by mail

u think bang tao, laguna is bad now, wait till thye add 6,000 more units< same goes for kamala's new project of 1,000+ units and so it goes across the island> Build, Build Build, make $$, $$$ $$$, but forget the roads, water an other Infrastructure .

u cant till AFTER u do the 1st on in person

yet, here you are posting on a thai forum WHY?

Travel suggestions ; never file negative comments till ur OUT of the country Plus , this is an old story ( i think last year)
