  1. exactly not illegal , the visa's/extension are 100% legit
  2. if using a visa agent is illegal, why are there so many out there still in business and tons of satisfied customers??
  3. question; have a thai bank account ( less than 800,000) and i moved to Cambodia for a year, now am retuning> I have the $$ but want bring it with me rather than transfer it in to convert a visa exempt to a 90 day non o can I ? PHUKET or does it need be transferred in
  4. Hotels CAN NOT offer a lower price online than the price that you get on any booking site> it is in violation of their agreement. if they did they would be kicked OFF the booking site sometimes, not often, you can get a better rate booking direct. Many times people find that they walk in, get a price which is higher than agoda lets say an ask to get that price and are refused, so you use the hotels wifi and book via agoda an all is good ????
  5. Phuket ( kamala) gets my vote, its at heart a rural moslem village but with the added expat stuff walkable to everything< plenty of places to rent & eat The mtns at ur back , beach in front 20+ years and when ever i leave i cant wait to get back home
  6. Just wondering, do i require an onward ticket out of Thailand if i choose to enter from Cambodia overland and getting a visa exempt after Oct 1st ( 45 days)?
  7. to apply / convert from a visa exempt or tourist visa for the non o u need show 800,000 in the bank than, as long as ur Baht is in the bank 2 month before you apply for the 1 year extension> your good to go..... most arrivals need the 1 month extension to season their baht in the bank, as you already have that>>> as said. a walk in the park
  8. that is a passport issued in the states< NOT overseas. the pilot porgram is ONLY if ur in the states: ...." You live in the United States (either state or territory). You do not qualify to renew online if you live in a foreign country or have an Army Post Office (APO) or Fleet Post Office (FPO) address."
  9. Satun ( Wang Prachan.. apx Drive 6-7 hours, nice market on weekends) no bus to border) is a nicer drive down than Sado via Hat yai IF, but Its NOT OPEN, Burma, Ranong/Kwathong. Bus Phuket- Ranong 6 hours, drive it in 4
  10. Here in Kep Cambodia i often see women swimming in the sea not only fully dressed ( they dont wear bathing suits here) BUT with a mask on as well Plus as in thailand often see drivers with windows up, travelling alone with a mask on in their car CRAZY
  11. Cambodia tourist visa is $30 not $35 ( thats the ordinary/business visa) Hat lek/trat is a very easy border crossing as well koh kong is a nice place to spend the night
  12. nothing close OVERLAND to HH until Burma land borders reopen HH= Malaysia apx 14 hours x2 HH-Cambodia apx 9 x2 OK?
  13. yea i am, but he wants 90 day stay so why bother paying 1,900 to add 30 days to the free 45 days ( 75 days) and STILL have to fly out an back?
  14. my situation: had a retirement extension form 2001-2021 and moved to Cambodia> Bad mistake now am heading back after Oct 1st ( so 45 day hopefully visa exempt stamp) If questioned at check in would they accept that i will be changing the visa exempt to a non o in country and than getting a new 1 year extension? dont want waste $40 for a 60 day tourist visa Us passport
  15. sure, why not BUT be aware u might be asked for an onward or return ticket for the visa exempt, so if u already have ur flight ticket on to kl within 45 days an than on ur 2nd entry to the uk within 45 days you will be fine
  16. Land borders ; they Always look for ur exit stamp from adjoining country so you can't switch passports check on flights to laos and or cambodia
  17. PHUKET: I've provided POA's for the last 10 years when i moved to a new house ( 3x)
  18. thats an O-A visa issued by embassy> Not same as a O visa ( 90 days) an then extended in country
  19. SCB< but unfortunately during covid they closed the kamala branch so u need go to chern talay ( across from the police station ) have had an account with them for over 20 years>>
  20. 45 days + 30 days= 75 days border run repeat 75 days 150 days with one exit note land borders Cambodia visa $30 Laos visa $30 Burma visa $50 < ( BUT pre covid if u only wanted exit to reenter Thailand u could do that for $10) Malaysia visa Free 2 visa exempt at land borders/calendar year but after ur 2, you could overland out an fly back in
  21. as soon as the backlog of pot that was stored is gone, prices will drop> by Oct
  22. I expect another U-Turn outlawing recreation use an limiting it to for medical use IE; u'll need a medical card enabling you to purchase BUT mi pen rai, the onsite dr will ask a few questions an issue it for ya ????
  23. 1st; I doubt you will get on a flight to Thailand without a return or onward ticket if you're going for the 30 day visa exempt get a 60 day tourist visa Cambodian land borders open , visa $35 Laos land borders open, visa $40 Malaysian land borders open, No visa needed Burma land borders CLOSED
  24. ALL the bickering/BS aside: a good maid will cost ya 500 baht/day for cleaning, laundering, cooking for 4 hours or so want a massage, plenty if not ALL of the massage parlors offer an outcall service, 500 baht/hour+tip
