Hi what is the exchange rate for uk pound at the moment bank and booths please 👍

What are the 125cc scooters like in Thailand? Do they have enough power to travel uphill either little effort?

I am planning on staying 150 approx and it appears to me that I have two options if I do not get a visa prior to arrival.

1. 60 day visa on arrival followed by a border run and finally a 30 extension.

2. 60 day visa on arrival followed by a 30 day extension then a border run. This may have the adavatage of another extension if things go pear shaped.

Any advice will be appreciated.

Good morning all.... I'm from the USA and headed over at the beginning of February and going to be there "permanently". I need some advice on cell phones. My phone has dual SIM cards, so I understand that for local Thailand number I just have to get a SIM card there... My question is for USA line.... My understanding is some of the time I will need this two step verification... I am assuming I can do this on the same phone since it has the two SIM cards?... Also what cell service are those of you from the USA using for this process?.... I really am not interested in having a "typical" cost plan from the United States in addition to my Thai plan....any suggestions?

Ill be applying for another 12 month extension in december. Non o based on marriage.

This time i want to use the monthly income (40k) instead to the 400,000 in thai bank ( 2 months).

Does anyone know what docs are required required for this method. And how many months pay do i need to show. Thai work permit. Working for thai company British passport. Phuket office.

I’ve got a dilemma re travel insurance. I’m nearly 70 years old and will be traveling January-March, Thailand and Laos. I am in good health, no pre existing health conditions. I have researched and I am being quoted £450 up. The supposedly better ones at around £800 and above. When reading reviews, they seem to be more focused on the price of the actual cover,rather than any claims. It seems the majority of people have difficulties when trying to claim. So many exclusions and ways that the company will try and get out of paying. I am seriously considering not bothering and taking the chance. Am I crazy or what?

I have been trying to book an appointment for visa extension however I am unable to get any appointment. It’s always showing full! And the system don’t allow me to select other month as well. Very frustrating…. How do I get this done as I need to extend end of December? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

Hi all, my work in Singapore will likely end in March 2025 and I'm considering applying for DTV. Curious to know if I apply for it now, would there be an "expiry date" or deadline on when I need to enter Thailand with it? I'd like to apply for it early enough to make other plans in the event that it was unsuccessful. I'm holding a Canadian passport. Also, I'm not eligible to apply online through the Thai e-visa system in Singapore, do most people apply at their nearest Thai embassy? Thank you for your help!!

Quick question. I’m flying to Jakarta to apply in person tomorrow before it closes. Do I need to have the 500k baht in one account? Or can most be in my personal and some be in my business account? I have bank statements for both.

I would like to apply for DTV but there was an INCIDENT during my last visit.

When returning the bike, the owner accused me of damaging it (the side was slightly scratched, it was like that when I rented it, but I didn't take any photos). He wanted 10 or 15 thousand baht from me, I refused and went to the airport to leave Thailand. The owner wrote to me, showed screenshots from the messenger, that he had notified a policeman he knew, it looked quite credible, but he also said that the Thai police wanted to arrest me and that he had submitted reports that would reach all SEA countries (xD).

Could this affect my DTV visa? How can I check if this migration has received any reports? I haven't been to Thailand since then and I wanted to apply for DTV from Europe, but maybe a better idea would be to fly to Thailand for 60 days, see if the police or migration will have any questions for me and then apply for DTV by flying to a neighboring country ?
