Hi all, I’ve read through a lot of questions to get a better idea but want to make sure I’m understanding.
I will be arriving in Bangkok Sept1 with a 30-day VISA exempt. I would like to travel (Chiang Mai and perhaps an island) around until I start teaching in Buri Ram Oct. 1.
So my concern is with my 30 day exempt stamp will I be able to go from province to province or exit and renter Thailand? And then once I get my new Visa I planned to just cross over to Cambodia to activate it, is that correct? I do have a plan to go to Singapore also Oct 4. So just wanting to make sure I’m understanding the re-entry process.
And I should find the local immigration office in Bangkok to fill the Form 30 when I return from any adventure or wherever I stay..?
TLDR : Answer Summary

They are unsure if they can travel between provinces and re-enter Thailand without issues, as well as how to handle the TM30 form for their stay. The comments clarify that travel within Thailand is allowed with the 30-day exempt stamp and emphasize the importance of the TM30 form for extending their stay. The author also plans to cross into Cambodia to activate a Non-B visa but seeks recommendations for immigration offices and guidance on the visa application process.
