does anyone know the best way besides plane to do a border run from chiang mai. i was denied on the plane due to medical reasons even tho I have a note from a doctor saying it’s okay for me to travel so i need to find another way.

Can someone please suggest some medical insurance companies for the visa that are accepted by the Thai embassy? And do I need the attached document from the embassy that they will fill out?

im age 51

Hi folks . I have just purchased 1968 IDP in the UK ready for my trip.

As I’m getting on in age - having passed my car driving test in 1987 - I have classes AM and A endorsed on my UK drivers licence but there is no such equivalent class as AM on an IDP - instead Class A1 has been endorsed/stamped .

When questioning this The guy serving me said A1 class is treated the same as the old AM license class for IDP. (He showed me his guidance booklet).

Basically what I asking is reassurance that I am not likely to come up against the law if I hired a 50cc scooter, and 2nd - are you able carry a passenger on a 50cc scooter - or not.

Hi, Chiang Mai Immigration Office holiday hours for December & January? Any closures?

Yesterday, as I went to top off my Rabbit card - the attendant asked to see my passport. Told them I don’t carry it with me but, I had a photo of it on my phone. They went to scan it but, their reader didn’t work for some reason. No top-off for me! 😕

Hi, need to get a Certificate of Residency, just wondering what documents are currently required for this.

Will be using the Jomtien office

,

I’d like to ask for advice from those who have registered a foreign marriage in Thailand and obtained Kor Ror 22 at a district office (Amphur).

I’ve heard that some Amphurs keep the original foreign marriage certificate, while others only keep a certified copy. We only have one original document, so I’m a bit concerned.

Does anyone have recent experience with an Amphur that did not retain the original and accepted copies instead?

I understand that procedures can vary by district and may change over time — just hoping to learn from others’ experiences to choose the best option.

Thank you so much in advance!

My passport expires on the 6th of June 2026 and I'm planning to visit thailand on the 17th of December, will it be a problem since I don't have six months validity? I hold an Indian passport.. thank you.

Hello! 👋

I’m looking for a good hotel in Ho Chi Minh City where I can stay for a while while waiting for a visa. If anyone has recommendations or experience with hotels in the city, I’d really appreciate it!

No more questions now from me as I feel I have all the information I need to successfully move to Thailand to live. I just want to say thank you to everyone who has helped me.

THANK YOU EVERYONE
