Hi I understand you can only fly into Thailand 3 times in a 6 month period..I first came to Thailand on 23rd February and exited 14th march..I fly for 3 weeks tomorrow and then 12th July I fly to Bangkok for 3 days then travel to Singapore, Kuala lumper and Vietnam for 4 weeks. I re enter Thailand on 15th August and my return ticket is 29th August back to UK.. my question is will they allow me into Thailand or will I have to wait for 5 days until the next 6 month period starts ? Or will,it be a fine or a land crossing..

Has anyone travelled from Thailand to Ireland with a cat (or small dog) and can share their experience?

He’s all sorted with the vet and it’s just the journey we need help with. Ideally, I’d like him to fly with us in the cabin, but it’s a bit of a minefield. Swiss Air allow pets in the cabin, but not with Ireland as the final destination.

Any help is much appreciated 😸

General travel question: any buses operating Bangkok- Siem Reap at the moment?

I have my ASQ in Phuket (via Agoda)on Feb 18. Flying from San Francisco to Singapore, then direct to Phuket. My COE has been rejected 3 times. Any recommendations would be great!
