Visa

[Muse74]

I am staying in Bangkok for a month as a tourist and am thinking of staying for 1.5 months. What is the cheapest way getting out and into Thailand again. as I am aware that as a Singaporean, I am able to stay in Thailand without a visa for 30 days. I have heard of "visa run". Is that the best way? If so, which one offers the greatest deal?

You need to visit a Thai Consulate in a neighbouring country and obtain a Tourist Visa. They are free until March 31st.

If you arrive by air without visa you get permission to stay for 30 days, by land only 15 days. Only Malaysian nationals get 30 days also by land, when crossing from Malaysia: http://www.mfa.go.th/web/2482.php?id=2490

Hi Muse,

There are many options for this depending on which part of Thailand you are planning on staying in. If you're in Bangkok, probably the best way to extend your stay for another 2 weeks would be to do a visa run to cambodia, you can do it in less than a day on a mini bus and it normally costs 1-2,000B including you Cambodia visa. Have a search on google to find some people who provide visa run services, but when I have had to do this in the past Jack Golf has always done a good job - http://www.jackgolf.com/en/visa_run/.

Cheers,

Jez

Language Express is not into educational fads or gimmicks; the two owners are qualified teachers in their home countries, each with around twenty years teaching experience in universities, language centres and high schools. They have taken the best of their Australian and Japanese schools and fitted them into a state of the art facility only metres from the escalators at BTS Ploenjit station. Language Express has a strong emphasis on quality. The school uses its own textbooks supplemented by commercially published texts such as "Thai for Beginners". These textbooks all feature Thai script, transliterations and translations. Our Thai teachers are university qualified native speakers selected for their energetic and professional approach, who receive ongoing training and development.

Students learn in a fast, effective manner using the Step System which is based on the tried and tested Communicative Approach - with an emphasis on memorizing and using grammatical structures with practical vocabulary and correct pronunciation. A critical part of our lessons is the 'production' segment, where students practice speaking using the language they have just studied, while integrating it with other Thai they know. On the Thai Course you'll acquire solid skills that let you communicate with Thai people as fast as possible. You will literally be speaking right from your very first lesson, then building on this step by step.
