Thank you all for your help and contributions !!! <3

About the beach part,

a city with lakes, waterfalls, would be amazing as well,

so the sea is not necessary.

*Muay Thai*

Hello everyone,

My goal is to train in Muay Thai in Thailand.

I'm asking for any help and guidance and information please.

I would like to train with the following preferences:

✅ 1. in a quiet city\town (doesn't have to be a big city)

✅ 2. Not touristy

✅ 3. With a recommended professional gym for beginners

✅ 4. Ideally with good internet infrastructure

✅ 5. Recommendation for where to live (booking guesthouse, Airbnb, other suggestions?)

✅ 6. Ideally with access to the beach and green nature, for some short hiking.

✅ 7. Any tips or bits of information, suggestions,

would be amazing and much appreciated.

Probably I missed some important details or made some mistakes😅

Please feel free to correct me.

Thanks a lot!!! 😄

Hi, has anyone else on a dtv lost their passport and had the embassy transfer over the visa to their new passport? My DTV was issued in London so I think my first step should be to contact them, any advice from anyone who's been in a similar situation please?

Edit: To be clear I lost my passport outside of Thailand and I'll want to re-enter on a brand new one, not in possession of the old passport only a photocopy of the data page.

Hi Members,

I have A DTV Visa. I intend to stay in Thailand approx 123 days.

I have an elderly mother who is 80 years old and relies on me as her carer.

I understand the spouse Visa is for a wife and Children under 20.

1 - Will they make any exception to allow me to sponsor a Elderly dependant parent if paperwork (Medical - birth certificate etc) is provided to show the dependancy.

2 - If this is not possible, and we apply for her own Soft Power DTV Visa, can anyone recommend a Thai cooking class Close to Pattaya who we can book with, Ideally a company that can provide the relevant paperwork for the Visa Application.

Any help would be appreciated, I just want to decide which is the best route to go down.

Many thanks

Jac

I'm on a 60 day visa exempt entry (Australian Resident) and I arrived 8th August, due to leave Thailand 6th October.

Im staying in Udon Thani and I want to apply for a 30 day extension.

Question; when can I apply for the extension, do I have to wait for the last day of my 60 day exempt entry or can I apply earlier? Is the process fast and easy?

Thanks in advance.

I am coming to Thailand with a non-O visa, valid for 90 days, applied from Belgium. I must complete the TDAC form no later than three days before arriving in Thailand. Upon arrival in Thailand, I must report to immigration within 24 hours with a TM30 document. With my passport and proof of residence, I can open a bank account with the aim of applying for a one-year extension. My question: If, during my 90-day stay in Thailand, I travel to Cambodia with my girlfriend for a week and then return to Thailand, do I need to complete a new TDAC form before arriving in Cambodia and also before returning to Thailand? Do I need to have a new TM30 document completed upon returning to Thailand? Will my non-O visa remain valid? Do I need to report to immigration again? Thank you in advance for the information.
