sightseer

a few meters back I noticed two more signs with more detail about the timing

does that mean I can go straight ahead everyday if the time is not between 5PM and 7PM. and on public holidays I go straight all day?

i guess motorcycles/scooters not allowed entry at all

I found this sign in front of homepro

mandatory left except buses and expressway cars

I guess you are correct guys. I've been unknowingly breaking the rules ????‍♂️

I tried selecting 2 points on either side of the bridge on google maps. the routing took the long way.

To be honest, I did not notice any warning signs such as a buses only blue sign.

I have another question relating to red lights if I may... where am I supposed to stop exactly? there is a traffic light, but no road markings such as a stop line? thanks

thanks guys. that was very helpful. i will study your replies carefully.

i believe this sign shows rule #3 by Swiss1960

snapped this photo in prom phong area. there was no left turns

(translation: left most lane, pass always, careful of vehicles from right)

i notice some cars and motorcycles go through a red light. can someone explain when is this allowed? which lane and type of intersection? I understand turning left on red is mostly allowed. thanks

I have contacted an agent, but I was told they cannot convert to NON-O from another long term visa. I will try to visit Chaengwattana immigration but I doubt they would allow it.

I am trying to avoid travel during this time because of multiple PCR tests and 10 day quarantine for the non-vaccinated.

You check with your local immigration office about it. Some have been a little more flexible due to covid 19.

Note I posted the link I forgot to post.

By January it may be easier to leave and re-enter with a 30 day visa exempt entry (if from a country that qualifies for one) that you could use to apply for the visa.

Yes, I will check with them in November. I'm not vaccinated so I rather not travel and have to do the hotel quarantine one more time.

Thank you for the link.

You will not be able to apply for a extension of stay based upon retirement until you have a non-o visa issued by immigration. You need to check with immigration about about applying for it with a PE visa. Others have been told it cannot be done since it is not a tourist visa.

The requirements for the non-o visa application here. 

Oh no. That is bad news indeed. I guess another option would be to renew my PE visa. I was hoping it might be possible to get a non-o while in Thailand.

Thank you for your replies.

Hello,

I arrived in January this year with my PE visa. The 5 year visa expired in May. My permission to stay stamp will expire early January next year. I wish to switch to extension of stay based on retirement (age over 50) using the 800,000 baht in bank method. I do not have a bank account yet. What forms do I need to fill out and when is the best time to visit bangkok immigration in my situation.

Thank a lot
