  1. Thanks for the reply. I just didn't want to waste time and money going to immigration and the chance i'm refused Your point of having proof of an outward ticket when i go for the extension is a good one. I will have to leave Thailand then anyway so will buy one and take it with me Cheers
  2. Okay understood...now can anyone please answer the question? Thanks
  3. Hi, i'm a Brit here in Thailand on a 30 day permission to stay I first arrived in Thailand last August on a 30 day permission to stay. I have been going out for a month to neighbouring countries and then re-entering on 30 day permission to stay ever since. This year in January i went to immigration and got a 30 day extension. When that expired I went to Cambodia for a month and entered again two days ago. At the border they queried why i was in Thailand so long and what i was doing. Fair enough and they stamped me in again for another 30 days My question is by the rules i'm allowed 2 x 30 day extensions in a calendar year. I have only used one so far this year but due to the fact i have been coming and going to much over the past 8 months and they began to question this what are my chances of getting another extension at immigration when i apply for it? Any help appreciated Bill
  4. As the title says, i'm looking for a replacement toothbrush head. Anyone know where i can find this in central Bangkok? Thanks in advance Bill
  5. Firstly, i would advise her not to close the account. You never know when you might need it again, they cost nothing to maintain and bank accounts are not easy to open in the first place Contact the bank informing them you have now returned to the UK and give an address of a trusted friend or family member?
  6. Cheers, i thought so. That means mine is valid for 3 months Some great help here, i appreciate it! ????
  7. I have a True SIM pay-as-you-go deal. I checked the expiry date and it's 12/04/2566. I've worked out 2566 is 2023 but i'm assuming 12/04 is 12th of April?
  8. Thanks for this. I'm not much of a techy, how do you do it 'from your mobile account'? and which company do you use? Cheers
  9. Hi, i'm looking to open a foreign currency account with Bangkok Bank but if i want to use my online account and i'm outside the country i need to authenticate my login details via local SIM card. My question is, will a local SIM work for this outside the country? How long is a SIM card valid outside the country? I don't think there's anyway to top it up? Thanks
  10. Found in the toilet of a restaurant in Bangkok Cheers

  15. Hi, i'm on prescription blood pressure medication, prescribed by my doctor in the UK. I've run out and need some more. I don't want to pay for a consultation with a doctor to get another prescription, i know what i need. Is there somewhere i can buy it over the counter without a prescription here in Bangkok? Thanks
  16. Guys, thanks for all the answers. Lots to contemplate there ????
  17. Hi, i'm wondering if it's possible to open a sterling account in a bank here in Thailand? If it is, are there any restrictions, like a work permit etc? Thanks in advance Bill

  20. Hi, i was in Laos a while back and took Thai baht with me, it was very easy to exchange to Kip everywhere and at good rates. Is it the same in Cambodia? Thanks
