Something I found that allows US travelers to keep their current number and use it for travel check details for more info

Not promoting just something I found and wanted to share to other travelers and a resource

Has anyone printed their DTV in a reduced size, lamintated it AND been back through customs for a re-entry (with no problems)?

If so, what size did you have it reduced to?

Looking to see the smallest size i can get away with, hoping for A6!

I have just done 60 days on entry to Thailand

Extended this by another 30 days at Bangkok immigration

I tried to change my flight return date to leave before the end of that 30 day extension, but the company want £870 for one way so i got a Thai Airways flight foe £360 to Heathrow

Can i enter Thailand on a one way flight ticket and just book a return flight when i no my return date,seems easy to me

Small report: Just passed through Nong Khai Immigration (approx 19.00, taking the Vientiane - Nong Khai bus). I've lived in Thailand before, but this was my first visa-exempt border bounce (initial arrival in January, extended in March). I spent 1 week in Luang Prabang before coming back. Upon arriving at the checkpoint, the first policeman sent me to Room 15 to speak to the supervisor. He asked me what I was planning to do and to see a ticket out (which I had thankfully bought in advance), but did not ask to see ฿20,000 or any confirmed hotel bookings. I hope this helps someone.

Edit to add: I had heard anecdotally that flights to neighboring countries are looked at with some suspicion by the border guards, so I booked to South Korea. These are more expensive, but under Korean law all airlines must offer a rather generous refund policy. It might be worth considering this for your own situation as well.

Hey long time travellers... Sorry if this is a dumb question, but Asia is weird sometimes.

I've got a long layover coming up in bkk. It is just from my arrival until my commuter flight home to the north. In the states I know I can just go to the counter and ask for a seat on an earlier flight (these are seldom full). Does that concept exist in Thailand?
