As you drive in to the Andaman Club ignore a signpost directing you to a car park on the right.  Keep heading towards the waterfront.  There is another car park there and I have never had a problem getting a space.  The immigration/ticket building is adjacent to that car park.  First go to the immigration window which is straight ahead as you walk into the building.  The ticket people will not sell you a ticket unless immigration have given you the nod of approval.  The ticket desk is about five metres away to the right.  There is an ATM in the building.  The ferries are hourly but I do not know the time of the last ferry back.

 

The ferries are quite impressive with three 250 horsepower outboards and the crossing only takes about ten minutes each way.  There is nothing much of interest at the Andaman Club.  I don't gamble but there is a second rate duty free shop selling cigarettes with strange names.  Generally I skip the golf cart ride up the hill to the club and just wait at immigration for the next ferry back.

 

On the day I travelled in September I was the only farang there.  The others were mostly Andaman Club employees and perhaps the odd gambler.  

 

On arrival back at the Thai side you need a completed arrival card and after receiving a new stamp you are on the way back to Phuket.

 

I have a Non Imm O multiple entry visa.  I cannot speak to how they deal with other categories.

 

 

Did the run yesterday. 

Ended up doing Club Andaman. 2600 Baht, all smooth. Took ferry, got stamped, awaited the next ferry. Point of interest was the immigration giving people a hard time upon re-entry to Thai. Assuming they are tourist visas as me on a non-o had no questions at all. 

I did firstly go to the long-tail place but the immigration officer attempted to give me an 'intimidating' shake down, but I wasn't having any of it thus went to club andaman. Speaking Thai, non-o in hand and literally a passport full of visas, the bloke made himself look like a tit in front of a growing audience and his colleges. Hopefully he'll think twice before attempting it on somebody else. 

Anyway, to anybody reading this.. Head to club andaman to avoid any potentially uncomfortable situations.

I always liked the Andaman Club.  Hit the casino have a few drinks it's great till you come back.  The IO asked me why I didn't do my border run in Phuket.  I told him Phuket is an island and doesn't border any other countries.  When his head stopped spinning he stamped me in.

Lol

It was open in September; albeit with hefty price hikes from pre-covid times.

 

I recommend you use the Andaman Club as opposed to the port.  Price pre-covid was 1000 Baht.  When I crossed there in September 2600 Baht.

Thanks mate. 

If you wouldn't mind... What's the process with the casino crossing? Anything needs to be done or just rock up to the pier?

Hello,

I don't know of anywhere on Koh Lanta that you can camp, there might well be somewhere though. However, not far from Koh Lanta is Koh Rok, many tourists that visit Lanta would join 1 or 2 night trips to Koh Rok where you can go camping, it was very common before covid, not sure what is still going these days though. My friend runs a tour company called Freedom Adventures who used to go on fairly frequent overnight camping trips and you could charter them as a family. I'm fairly sure they are still up and running (I don't live on Lanta anymore so not 100%) , but perhaps worth contacting them via their website or facebook to get more info? 

I hope that helps a bit ????

Thanks mate.

As I wrote she does not qualify for an extension of stay for being your wife.

Where did you get married at? 

Her only choice to travel to here and enter the country may be for her to get a tourist visa at this time.

She could possibley be able to get a single entry non-o visa to visit you. She would need to contact the embassy in Tokyo or one of the official consulates in Osaka or Fukuoka about it.

 

Thank you for your advice. We got married in Osaka. I'll get her on the phone to Osaka Consulate...

Do you have a one year extension of stay based upon being the parent of a Thai issued by immigration?

Is your wife in Thailand now? What type of visa did your wife use to enter the country if she is here?

There is no provision of the immigration order for extensions of stay that allows your wife to get an extension of stay based upon the extension your have now. 

Clause 2.18 of immigration order 327/2557 that your extension is based upon only has a provision for children to get an extension of stay from a previous marriage or if they are adopted.

"(4) In the case of children, adopted children, or spouse's children, said children, adopted children, or spouse's children must not be married, must live with the alien as part of the family, and must not be over 20 years of age except in case of the person hereof is of illness or disability and cannot live without support of father or mother"

 

Hi. Thanks for replying.

My extension is based upon my Thai children, yes.

She is currently in Japan.
