Hey everyone, enjoy reading the posts here. I’m heading over to Thailand mid to end of July for around 5 weeks. Coming from Australia. Not a big partier. Would love to travel around a bit see as much as I can. And meet the local people. My question is quite broad, wondering what are the must see places to visit Also wondering if there might be something that needs to be done that often gets forgotten in preperation for the trip, even if you think it might be the simplest of things? Anybody recommend a travel insurance that’s suited for Thailand. Also thanks in advance for any replies.

Hi,

On 6 June 2024 the IO here in Chiang Mai granted me an extension of stay based on the Non - O over 50 (retirement) visa using the international bank transfer of 800,000 baht. The expiry date ends on July 2 2025 (in effect 13 months according to the stamps in my passport).

The next extension of stay will be applied for and based on the monthly income method of 65,000 baht minimum international bank transfer every month for 12 months.

Question:-

Do the 12 x monthly statements run from:-

1) June 2024 to May 2025 inclusive (12 months);

2) July 2024 to June 2025 inclusive (12 months);

3) June 2024 to June 2025 inclusive (13 months).

Regards!

Is there a bus go from Chiang Mai to Chiang Khong and return back to Chiang Mai the same day? I want to do boarder run to Laos

Hey everyone 😊

I'm planning a border run from Chiang Mai on May 22nd and wondering if anyone knows of providers offering a same-day run. I'm flexible regarding which border to cross—I just prefer to return the same day. If you have any recommendations or have used a service like this before, please send me a private message.

Cheers,

Andi

I have to go to Chiang Mai for one night to get my friends from the airport. My tm30 obviously is registered to my address . Ideal I want a hotel that will not raise a tm30, but it's not an ideal world. So if they do raise a tm30 would need to go to immigration within 24 hours of my return to register to my address again. Thanks in advance.

Where can I open Kasikorn bank account in Chiang Mai right now?

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a recognized cooking school in Chiang Mai for my visa. Can anyone recommend one, Thank you for your help.

Hello every one,

I have got DTV visa since December 2024 and stay at Chiangmai over 5 months already. I have to extend/ renew another 180 days to stay at Thailand and I consider to go Tachileik which I have to cross border line to Myanmar and re-enter. So is there any one has experience for it and Thailand immigration at Tachileik border has capacity to extend visa for another 180 days by stamp in there? Would you please kindly advise?

Hello All,

My mother has a US passport and will fly into BKK after about a week she will come to Chiang Mai.

My question regarding the new online arrival card is about the trip and accommodation section.

Should she use the address for the hotel in Bangkok where she will enter Thailand and begin her trip?

Or should she use our home address in Chiang Mai where she will stay for the majority of her time in Thailand?

Thank you in advance 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Hi All, I'm on a Non O Retirement visa extension out of Chiang Mai. I'm thinking of moving to Pattaya. Can I do my next annual extension down there, or do I have to start afresh with a totally new Visa from there?
