SomNamNah Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 (edited) Thought i might try making this thread, just in case folk in the future need to ask the same question... Edited December 10, 2008 by SomNamNah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomNamNah Posted December 10, 2008 Author Share Posted December 10, 2008 (edited) Need to go to Mae Sai sometime before 26th december, will be going on motorbike for fun. Have cb400 (faster) or chopper (laid back speeds). Anyone want to drive up as a Thai Visa-Visa run gang by bike and back? Luckily my Fan says its too cold to go on the back of the bike this time, so i can enjoy the winding road that much more! Possibly going the back way via Chiang Dao? otherwise its on my lonesome again... ie: drive like a complete nutter to break my personal visa run speed record.

noise Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Anyone want to drive up as a Thai Visa-Visa run ....? Is a day trip like that worth doing for only a 2 week visa? http://www.thaivisa.com/latest/thai-immigr...foreigners.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomNamNah Posted December 11, 2008 Author Share Posted December 11, 2008 (edited) Isnt that just crazy? Farang border runners must spend a fortune in this fine country. I have. When they start messing with the 15 month visas, then its time to panic! I have been thinking about staying in Chiang Rai if they mess around anymore, the countryside around there is incredible. Sadly the fan cant live too far from CM, and is scared of ghosts and things that go bump in the night, so there goes the mountain top retreat idea...

SomNamNah Posted December 12, 2008 Author Share Posted December 12, 2008 its one of the flavours of NON-O visas... 4x3 months (1year) plus one extra 3 months. I think, unless my brain has deteriorated since i last checked the dates. These trips every 3 months seem to get closer and closer together...

They are supposed to be one year visas, but you can make them last longer if you are careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
