I have a 5 year Car license< I do not have a Motorcycle license in Thailand or my home country> Do i need take the written test and the practical test for motorcycle or do i just take the practical test on a bike? I live in Phuket and already have an appt for feb 2023 Is it possible to make a donation to pass the written test -:)

they dont pre see " bribe" all extensions are issued, "at the discretion of the head immigration official" at that immigration office In India is called Baksheesh ????

ITS free with the note ur embassy gives ya> OR you can carry both passports around with you till the visa/extension expires, at which time your initial stamp INTO thailand in the old passport will be transferred to new passport also for free

i was going to ask this BUT assume since it not where you live, (Usually agents use Issan immigrations) they know ur not there, so wont visit you In Phuket, Immigration seems to only check on those using marriage extensions, not retirement.

as far as I understand it : you only file a NEW tm 30 if you change ur place of residency,' a trip over seas or to visit somewhere else for a short time, even a few weeks travelling is fine

Layan beach is very peaceful, they removed ALL beach side shacks/restaurants NOW thou at Surin, where none were allowed before, they extend the whole length of the beach Go figure

without getting a visa from another embassy or consulate in a year

did one 3 weeks ago for the Khmer wife. no problem at embassy $40 3 days thru agent in PP $60 4 days we were in Kampot and it cost $80 1 week yea i know she didn't need a visa but staying longer than 15 days Plenty of good agents all over the country have heard rumors over the years , after 4 consecutive tourist visas in PP an agent might not even try for you

If ur in Phuket, the fee is 1,000 baht and no receipt or 2,000 with receipt ur choice ???? so might be wort asking when you go in and tell them you dont need a receipt

that was a while ago as the fee is now $40 since May

Just a note: pre covid Villa in Chern Talay was More expensive for many items than the nearby Central supermarket Now the reverse is true for many items

dont expect them to give ya $$, Better go to a bank in Thailand and get 5 $20 and pay the $40 fee

if your concerned about getting between the airport in a major tourist city to town> perhaps Cambodia is not for you

Always make copies of everything, an let them chose what they want, BEFORE you arrive and never ever go on a monday or the first day after a holiday!!

firefly rt/ go weds, back friday 7,666 baht 1 hour flight about the same price as flying to Phnom Penh via bangkok ????

great indian food...:-)

dont like KL, to big a city for me. Georgetown Penang is a great place to spend a few days, great food, nightlife, walkable, easy to access attractions with public bus, various accommodation and a world heritage site!!

quirk & inexpensive fly to Penang, one of my favorite cites in SE Asia, free voa

i have lived in se asia, mostly Thailand with some time in Cambodia, over 35 years I use US$ when i travel around countries cause its the most convenient to convert in my head to what ever country i am in> While in Burma, laos, Malaysia etc, i dont convert the local currency to Baht in my head, but to $$, to know the cost funny how the OP has NOT come back to say where he was travelling from in Thailand ???? guess he really doesn't give a S#@T To each their own.

why use it as the patong hillis open for cars both ways

Come check out Kamala> rent out ur villa and rent here and SAVE lots of Baht!! 2 bedroom homes from 10,000 - 200,000/month view out my front door 1 km or less to beach, shopping, restaurants. i moved over here in 96 from Patong, (except for the last 17 months when i was in Kep Cambodia) ....yea , its changed, but get off the main road, its still basically a village now that the patong hill is 2 ways, traffic has died down a bit

Bangkok to Phnom Penh is under $120 r/t Cambodian visa $30 even Phuket via Bangkok- PP is less than $200!!! Phuket- Penang is cheap Just look at Kayak.com
