Learn about food, Culture and Thai language as much as you can as it will be really helpful for the time u gonna spend here and also for ur future if u plan to stick to Thailand.

Be Safe that the most Importan tthing for you to do in Thailand. Do not get carried away by charming thai-girls and all sorts of parties, coz things in Thailand can get Ugly at anytime when it comes to Paties and Girls (not to mention their so called Bfs).

Rest Figure youself out and DO BRING YOUR BRAINS AND USE THEM.....NOT YOUR *******

Get to China Town, a lot of Watch Repair shops for Antique watches. Just got to walk through the small soi's.

Get on BTS, Change to MRT from ASOK, Get Off at Hua Lam Pong. Take a tuk tuk (40 baht) or walk for about 15 mins.

Not far from Ari is the Sapan Kwai...Just behing Big C Sapan Kwai, you can find a lot of service apartments and Hotels in Sapan Kwai Soi -1 and Soi 1/1. The rooms start from THB 535 NET Per Night. The one I prefer to stay at is in Soi 1/1. The rooms are ok but not too fancy. Nice Decent Hotel Named NICE PALACE. Check on Google.

A couple of Night Clubs and farang Bar is just around the Corner.

Hope this Helps.

Now I understand your PM. My comment was that if I were you I would leave on the 31st. Just to make sure you are out of the country before your permission to stay expires.

ok. sorry for that. understand ur point now.

4. Your permitted to stay stamp expires on the 1st? I would go Monday the 31st.

I can get extension of 7 days. what time r u planning to leave on Monday? May be I can go with you? if it is ok? because this is my first time? really need help.

may be we are people who are really confused and are in a foreign land for the first time. so this is the place for us to seek help.

1. Take a plane, a bus, or a train to either Udon or Nong Khai. It is accross the bridge from Nong Khai and about an hour drive from Udon. You can also fly to Vientiane. Visa is available on arrival and costs about $30-35 depending on nationality.

2. You visit the Royal Thai Embassy (Consulate Section) with your passport/copy and photos and fill out form and pay the fee (in workday morning - pick up next workday afternoon).

3. If you request and pay for 2 they have been available. But if you really are about to start work with a work permit it is not going to able to be used.

4. Your permitted to stay stamp expires on the 1st? I would go Monday the 31st.

5. See 2 above - Thailand is just across the river.

6. Believe there are scheduled runs to Vientiane but you can do yourself and they are not every day. They advertise in Bangkok Post Classified and are frequestly mentioned on the forum if you do a little reading of threads with Vientiane in name.

wow! the information u provided is really useful, thanks a lot mate.

yes my visa will expire on 1st April....so when do u think i should be there???

Hi,

I am plannig a trip to Laos as my Tourist Visa will expire soon. This is my first time. so I had a couple of questions, i hope people here will help me to clear it.

1.How can i go to Laos?

2.How do i get the Laos visa?

3.Can i get a new tourist visa x 2 ?

4.My visa will expire on 1st of April, when is the right time to go there?

5.How many days will it take to get new Tourist visa and to come back to thialand?

6.Are there any travel agents who have some package trips for visa stuff?

sorry for bugging all u guys i know i have asked many things but I am really confused cant help it.

please reply

Believe it runs about 5 days but varies by office. Believe Labor Office is where you submit it if not done by employer/law firm.

I live in nonthaburi, is there a office in nonthaburi?? yes u right...my employer has given me the documents but not helping me to process them.

If you have the documents plus a receipt for a work permit application most Consulates will provide a single entry non immigrant B visa. Believe some will later provide a multi entry after work permit issue if you are not able to extend your stay.

"How long does it take to get the work permit application receipt?? I have that application with me complete, but where do i submit it??"

and how many days will it take to get the work permit receipt?? i have around 10 days left on my visa.

Good information from ur thread.

Can I get the contact details of Jacks????

Hi,
