I am going back to Immigration on later this month to get my 1 year extension of stay.

So I am in the "Under Consideration" stage of it all.

But before this I have been requested to be a travel-buddy for someone who has never flown before before I get my stamp.

It would be a 1-2 day thing and I would be back in good time before I am supposed to go to Immigration to get my finalized stamp.

Would this be a problem?

Hello everyone....when you apply for a metv, do you have to take the flight with a return within 60 days or can I take it with a return within 6 months (approximately)? This point is not clear to me....From what I understood, speaking to the agency, I can make a reservation in order to obtain the visa but this is still not clear to me....And in any case if I'm not mistaken, I will have to take an open ticket to change the return and this will lead to additional costs each time to postpone the return and change it.... If someone can advise me, especially the cheapest solution, I would be really grateful....have a good day.....

Hi Everyone

Looking for some guidance. We are booking a 3 week trip end of this year and have been talking to a local tour operator. He is going to arrange hotels internal flights and trips out from various locations. We have a driver/guide with us for about 17 days and the vehicle has air con. Trip includes 5 days in Bangkok with 4 days of tours then flight to ching mai for 5 nights with 3 days of tours 1 night in Chiang rai with 2 days of tours then flight to Phuket for 8 nights staying at Bang Tao beach. This costs £6200. Does this seem reasonable

Thanks for any comment first trip to Thailand

Hi there,

I'm in Vientine after 60 days stay in Thailand (1 extension in chiangmai).

Planned on going back for another month in Thailand via Udon thank but on the way out the border control officer told me it's "better" that I fly back and not take the land route.

Any particular reason for that? They were not clear cut over the chance of denied entry, but is that an option? Also if I denied an entry via the land route will it influence future entries?

Much obliged

Has anyone flown China Eastern Airlines from BKK to MEL via CAN (Guangzhou) with a 1 hour 50 minute transit in China, baggage checked through to Melbourne?

Both flights use the same terminal so my question is:

Will I need a visa for China?

Just wanted a little bit more clarification please; you've all been so helpful so far! Re the Ranong border bounce,we're definitely going to try this - a bit of a drive from Hua Hin but we are looking forward to seeing parts of Thailand that we haven't seen before.

My final Q is this,: I have been searching online for a list of the docs we need to have with us. I have read lots of interesting anecdotal stories but nothing particularly current . As far as I can make out, I should have the following docs with me; passport, proof of flight home, 20000thb and $10-20 dollars?

Obviously we'll need cash for the ferry and we also have our Covid certificates. Is there anything else we should have with us? We also have extra photos and copies of our passports and our proof of residence in HH. Do you think that will be enough? I know it's a long drive, but it's a little birthday trip for me. If for any reason it doesn't work,we still have time to drive to Malaysia,but we'd honestly prefer not to. Thank you again for your help and advice. 😁

We are rethinking our itinerary and any advice would be appreciated 🙏 We (2 couples almost 50s) land in Krabi after exploring Cambodia and Northern Thailand and really want to relax for a couple days and not be bothered by large crowds. We have booked Railay for 3nts and Ao Nang for 3nts then off to Koh Samui by ferry. Koh Lanta looks less busy and easy to get to from Krabi airport. would Koh Lanta be a good relaxing place or more of the same high season crowds?
