You just type it..... @Keeps

Well yes of course but I was working on the assumption his gf knows what a gold shop looks like.

The cool function simply evaporates the water and blows it around your room. So inevitably the humidity will increase. Whether it is useful is moot, but they do seem to sell a lot of them here so must be something of value. Personally I am happy with a fan.

It's not weird, it's just a weight. 1 Baht = 15.244 grams. The shops in the malls and in the streets are legitimate and will all display their sell and buy rates. You pay a small premium on top for decorative work. Make sure she keeps the shop receipt for when she wants to sell it.

There is a clue in the question....

Inscrutable those Japanese chaps, when they say you have 15 days they actually mean it!

Just a shot in the dark here, but perhaps he counted the days when planning the trip, not after arriving?

"adding that he needs to wear neck support, but not all the time." Whenever he cannot be seen by the people that believe in him.

Yes.

Immigration most likely wont ask but the airline may well do at check-in. So it would be good to have an onward ticket for sure. Or why not just get a tourist visa before you travel? That eliminates the issue and also avoids a trip to immigration. E-Visas will start being available in Australia next week.

I recently got a single non-O retirement from the UK. 800,000 in a Thai bank was fine for them.

You're welcome. If you plan travel between now and October you could always put off the extension till later - if you travelled in October for instance you'd get 90 days more on returning (before the 18th) and wouldn't have to do the extension until the end of the year.

Once you are on the annual extension you will need a re-entry permit. The visa is done with.

You'll be fine. Like all airlines its 32kg max per piece.

nah, they are just what is needed at the Lee Kee Shipyard.

This "strategy" also includes the initial airport entry + extension, so there are the 2 missing months.

They may well do if you don't have an onward ticket within 30 days of arrival.

Depends on the airline and how much you pay. Some, like Emirates, charge different amounts for different "premium" seats. You'll almost certainly pay more for the best seat in economy, although sometimes exit rows, for example, are not pre-bookable until check-in.

The website instructions tell you to print it. And you keep it. "After the e-Visa application has been approved, a confirmation e-mail will be sent to applicants, which must be printed out for presenting to airlines and Thai Immigration Officials when traveling to Thailand."

He can't, he's on a retirement "visa" (presumably an extension thereof).

I guess the obvious answer is to do a border bounce or have a short trip somewhere nice. That'd give you the time you want which could also be easily extended further if needed.

Good idea, who's?

Yes, the quote in the post above is taken from the VFS announcement.
