It would help if you disclose what medicine you are after

It's just regular blood pressure medication, Amlodipine

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

Guys, thanks for all the answers. Lots to contemplate there ????

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

People probably said the same thing about bitcoin when it first came out.

 

Surely a better question to ask is "if it costs nothing then what is there to lose?"

...because Bitcoin provides a solution to real world problems, it's viable technology...It has a 'raison d'être' 

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

So a permission to stay can only be extended once?

Sorry the title should say....How many times can i extend a 45 day permission to stay

Can someone help me out? A friend has been told it can only be extended once but i thought it was twice in a calendar year?

Cheers 

Thanks very much

As the title says, which form do i need to fill in to extend a 45 day visa exempt entry at Lak Si?

Thanks in advance

Thanks for the replies 

another quick question. I can remember getting an extension in Chiang Mai years ago and I was told best not to wear t.shirt. shorts and flip-flops when you go. I wasn’t planning on the latter anyway but is that still the case? Just out of internet really 

Thanks 

Sorry if this has been asked before...Hi, i entered on a 45 day permission to stay valid until Feb. 03. What's the earliest i can go to Lak Si (staying in Silom) for the extension?

TIA

I applied in Hanoi with no major issues. You need to show a flight booking into and out of Thailand.

 

The fee is payable in USD. Finding anywhere to change money in Hanoi is extremely difficult; make sure you change up some notes before you leave.

Thanks for the reply

How long are you planning to stay for? You can extend for 30 days at immigration.

 

If this is your first visa exempt entry you should be fine doing a border bounce; no need for an actual tourist visa unless you want the extra 15 days.

Thanks for the answer. I'm in Hanoi now. I didn't want to extend i wanted to get a visa for 60 days. My problem with the online application happened before i entered Thailand on my last 45 day exempt

Hi, i'm a Brit and in Hanoi now as my 45 day permission to stay expired, here to get a tourist visa

I tried to get an evisa online but for some strange reason the form was asking me to supply proof of my hotel booking with the hotel owner's ID. I can supply the booking of course but that doesn't seem to be enough. Very strange as i've only had one entry in the past two years. I've never been asked that before. I'm thinking it would be easier to apply directly at the embassy with all the docs. Do they still issue them in person at the embassy?

Thanks for any help

As DrJack has indicated above, all you need is your passport, the TM7, and 1900 baht, and you shall get another 30 day stamp.  My mistake was reading to much into the post as I saw extension and jumped the gun...sorry for the confusion.

No problem, thanks for taking the time to reply anyway

I adjusted my post.  Are you just now applying for the "O" Visa, or is this for an actual extension of stay as you have gone and received the "O" after arrival and going to CW.

Not exactly sure what your asking Ryan but i'm a Brit having entered Thailand on a 30 day permission to stay and want to go to immigration to extend it for the first time. Thanks for the reply

Don't forget your bank statement and bank book.  Are you on an extension of stay for an "O" Visa already or is this the first extension.  If an O-A you'll need to show the insurance through next year.  

Is this relevant?
