Thanks for all your replies If I’m issued with a visa next Thursday, i’ll then be attempting a border crossing at Poi-pet next Saturday I’ll let you know how it goes Cheers

I’ll be crossing at Poipet I was stopped there last time by immigration and asked why I didn’t get a visa? They still let me in but this time I’ll have one (if I’m there)

Thanks for all the answers i went to the Thai embassy here in Phnom Penh and they told me a bus ticket in and out is acceptable. I found a company that let’s you change the travel date once, up to 48 hrs before departure I looked at the dummy plane ticket but that gets cancelled after 48 hrs. I submitted my application yesterday (Fri 20th) and won’t get my passport back until next Thursday (26th) They also require 1 passport photo, bank statement, $40 (only $) Painless process at the embassy, hardly anyone there. Submit documents, mornings only between 9-11am Collection afternoons only between 3-4pm I’ll update if I get it cheers Bill

Hi, I’m a Brit applying for a single entry tourist visa to Thailand at the embassy in Phnom Penh I have to provide proof of entry and exit from Thailand. I will be using the bus. My question is, when I submit all the documents can I provide a copy of a bus ticket that shows I will leave Thailand 90 days after entering? The visa will be for 60 days but can be extended once I arrive. Will they give me a 60 day tourist visa with a bus ticket to leave after the visa has expired? if anyone can help with this, thanks in advance Bill

Is there an advantage flying into Chiang Mai rather than Bangkok?

What would be my chances of taking a flight back to Bangkok rather than the bus and getting a permission to stay for another 30 days? Any ideas? Cheers

Okay, my last evisa was obtained while I was back in UK for a month i didn’t know you had to be in your home country to get it though. I do recall a question on the form asking my present location but no info on where I can/can’t apply from i don’t want to lie on the form. I’ll be arriving by bus from Siem Reap! perhaps my best option then is in person from the Thai embassy in Phnom Penh?

Possibly, but would have been at least 10 years ago if I did

I'm a Brit who has been in and out of Thailand for the last 14 months. Mostly on a 30 entry stamps. Up until August '23 when I got a 60 day tourist evisa. I didn't extend it when it ran out on Sept 29, instead I came to Cambodia and I want to apply for another 60 day single entry tourist visa while I'm here, to re-enter Thailand on 28 October (I will have been out of Thailand for 1 month) My question is will they give me another tourist visa, considering my history? Thanks for any help Bill

I buy my Amlodipine now at Chula Pharmacy, opposite Chulalongkorn Hospital on Rama IV. 100 x 5mg tablets for 180thb

Thanks, but we have that mainly covered

Hi Bangkok pub team is looking for a someone who is knowledgeable about music preferably 80's onwards would be ideal. To join a team that meets once a week on Wednesdays evenings Anyone interested? Bill

It's been over a month for me trying to deal with a messed up sleep pattern. I'm awake all night then finally get off to sleep around 6am and in bed until midday! Alcohol doesn't work for me. As soon as I stop I got back to the previous sleep pattern. I took some strong sleeping tablets here last time I was here which I bought over the counter but can't remember the name or the pharmacy! ????

Yeah, if you have the name, cheers

Thanks but it would need to be something stronger than Codiphen. I have tried that but didn't work. I bought some last year that were strong but can't remember the name Cheers

Hi, what are the strongest sleeping pills I could buy in a pharmacy here without a prescription? I just need them for a few days to get me off UK time at bed time. Thanks

Good to know! Yes, I extended at Lak Si before

Thanks for all the help ????

Thanks for the answers. Still a bit confused though, does that mean I can extend my current 60 day, single entry tourist visa?

Hi I'm a Brit here on a 60 day single entry tourist visa. Earlier in the year, I entered Thailand two consecutive times on 30 day entry stamps and used up quota of 2 extensions allowed per year (as I understand it?) Does this mean I won't be allowed to extend my tourist visa at immigration? Thanks for any help

...then this a very new change in policy. I'd been using my UK bank card for small transactions up until today

I went into my local 7-11 today to pay a bill for around 90thb and I was told I had to pay cash or there would be a surcharge for bills under 200thb on bank card. There's even a confirmation notice on the counter I have never encountered that before, is this now a thing? Cheers

Thought I'd update this as it might help others applying for a Thai Tourist Visa, Single Entry online using the London Thai Embassy website I submitted the application before 9am (GMT) on Fri. July 21 and received it approved at 10pm (GMT) on Wed. July 26. That's 4 working days. I hadn't submitted proof of onward flight and where it asks for "Identity of the person inviting you to stay e.g. Thai ID Card, Passport" I wrote on a piece of paper that this was not applicable as I had a hotel booking which I had attached. I then took a photo of that and uploaded it I was very surprised I got it. Firstly, I wasn't sure I'd given myself enough time, I was flying LON-BKK early morning on Mon. 31 July and secondly, I hadn't provided proof of onward flight I'm very happy with the result! ????

Thanks for all the answers. Shocking that a country like Thailand with a large tourism industry has such a Mickey Mouse online visa application form!. £30 and I have no idea if I'm going to get it!

Thanks for the answers. I know I won't be asked to show onward flight to the airline if I have a visa but are you saying they will issue me a visa without proof of onward flight?
