So no dtv in sight as we landed in Bkk..but happy to say that I got in easily with a 60 day free visa..the IO was a smiling guy and funny that he stamp my passport first before asking how long I'm staying and if a applied for a dtv

I showed a copy that saya pending approval and he smiled saying he was worries he stamped the wrong visa on my passport.! So it's nice to be back on Thailand, air is different and I can go back to my normal routine ..my health declined in HCMC due to my diet restriction and can't eat food with sugar..I get to rest my worries for now and will just wait for the dtv and make a flight out again..

Are there any hotels with a kitchen available for guest use? One person in our group has dietary restrictions and doesn’t eat out, and we also have a young child who doesn’t eat outside food often. I haven’t been able to find such accommodations through online booking channels, and Airbnb hasn’t been very helpful in this case.

I will be staying 3 days in Bangkok and 3 days in Pattaya.
