I'm doing one these round the world trips before i decide where to settile so I'm now thinking of going somewhere else first then coming to thailand in November after reading your replies, anyway thanks for the advice

Well it looks like I'm coming to Thailand for about 3 months, where are the best parts of the country to visit at April to June (ish) is it going to be boiling hot or soaking wet

That's a pretty acurate stereotype of a pommie there ######, very funny, I like it.

I take it the "understood some it" bit is brought on by my reply to Dr Pat pong, you thought I was rude, I didn't mean to be!

Still think the above is dogshit though

complete dogshit, but whatever makes you feel better

OK but we weren't talking about applying for visas, we were talking about renewing/extending them, anyway thanks for your help

It's another very cryptic answer, the whole of Thailand is in Asia, what are you trying to say, it's tougher in the penang region, it's tougher in the whole of Asia, I rarley understand your answers sorry

Two horses in a pub

Horse 1: How's the racing going

Horse 2: It's funny you should say that, the other day I was racing a Redcar and I was winning the race, then in thye final straight I had this pain in my leg and I couldn't even finish the race

Horse 1: That's amazing, the same thing happened to me the other day at Newmarket, I was in the final straight just about to come first and bam! pain in my leg and I couldn't finish

Greyhound overhears converstaion

Greyhound: Sorry to interrupt, I couldn't help hearing what you just said, it's just that the same thing happened to me the other night at White City, final straight and a pain in my leg prevented me from completing the race.

Horse 1 (looks at horse 2) Fúck me a talking dog!

Hello

Last time I came to Thailand I was there from Nov to feb and the weather was good, rained quite a bit but no problem

Is there any time to avoid, have I missed the best weather?

Symzie

Ok but surely there's a limit to how many consuls are practicle, Penang and a few others right?

Thanks that sounds perfect, just one more question

Is there a limit to how many times this tourist visa can be renewed?

Thanks

Hello again, well I've resigned from my job and want to come to Thailand. I don't want to work, or run a business, or buy property anymore, I just want to come and relax and travel around for as long as I can (maybe 6 months or longer) and use this time to look into things and then maybe look at a more permanent situation

I'm British, 39 nearly 40 years old.

What would be my best visa,

I expect I'll need to renew it a few times

Symzie

I've searched around this site to fiind out more but I can't find out what that will give me, is it 3 months renewable.  What do I need to say, that I'm opening a business? How would I prove it?

Symzie

Write a decent letter to the Consul.

Would you care to expand, what would make that letter decent?

Symzie

Thanks for the advice Penelope and Simon

What about visa, should I just get a 3 month visa and keep renewing it?

What are they called now, do I need to go to Hull on earth to get it or will any Thai embassy do the trick

Good stuff Simon, I have been looking into that idea, it's funny you should mention it. Is that technically working in Thailand though, is it legal?

Out of interst, where did you settle in Thailand?

Cheers

Symzie

Hello again

Sorry to bump my old thread, I'm about to get things moving now, have things changed since I started this thread, do I still need a B visa from Hull. I think I just want to come over and spend a year and play things by ear, I have enough money what else do I need to know

Is the bird flu thing worth delaying things?

Thanks

Symzie

Cheers Fester

Yes, the Brisbane consul is good, I went there last time.  Last time I was just doing a bit of travelling though.  I'll look into that then that's a good place to start

And the book, well I'd buy it   ::

Symzie

Thanks

George, I'm British.  Would it be easier to find work once I'm there or do I need a job first.  Is it a chicken and egg situation ie can't get job without visa / can't get visa without job (like Australia.)

That's an interesting link dazdaz, I think I've always handled culture change well, I've spent time in India, SE Asia and South Pacific and always felt comfortable and adapted well

SYmzie

Hi

I'm new to this so sorry if I'm asking questions you've heard a 100 times.  I'm looking to emmigrate to SE Asia and need some information on a few things

How easy is it to get residency inThailand?  If it's not easy, do I get a temp visa and keep renewing it once I'm there?

Can I work? I'm qualified in IT, hows the market,is it legal?

I've heard that you can own a condo but not a house, or is better to rent

Thanks in advance for any help
