Apply for your 60 day in your country beforehand or get extension at imm. in bkk

You must apply for a 60 day tourist visa in your country.

The 30 day visa on arrival can be extended for a few days, but it is at the discretion of the immigration officer.

Safer and easier to get the Tourist Visa from the embassy/consulate.

Your choices are

get a 60 day tourist visa at consulate in your own country, cost £25 in UK

Can get by post, Hull or Cardiff Consulate the best.

extension at any immigration office, no problem as you only want 4 days and have a booked flight, cost 1900 Baht

pay 3 days overstay BEFORE you attempt to fly out, cost 3 days @200 Baht = 600 Baht. Risky option as if you get caught without a current permission to stay, could possibly lead to big problems.

thanks for the advice guys i think ill get the visa in uk ,cheers ,
