Hi everyone!

I got my DTV approved while being in Thailand. So now i need to leave Thailand and come back.

What do you think is the cheapest way? Knowing that i'm currently based in Hua Hin, and next month i'll be in Koh Phangan. If i can leave and come back the same day, that's the best.

I'll do it either from Hua Hin or Koh Phangan.

Thank you very much 🙏

Anyone have recent experience with obtaining a residency certificate at Suratthani Immigration? Is it same day or next day? I'm on Phangan where they only give 1 at a time and I need 2 for 2 different reasons.

Is it possible to get a Thai residence certificate less than 90 days after re-entry? I'm on a 5 year Elite visa. I've been here for a year, and already done a few 90 day reports, but I've recently re-entered. I need a residence certificate so I can renew my Thai driver's license, and everything I'm reading says I need a 90 day report after my most recent entry in order to get a residence certificate. It seems a bit silly that I have to wait 90 days to be able to renew my drivers license just because I recently left the country and came back. Is there any way around the 90 day report requirement for getting a residence certificate to renew my drivers license? I'm on Koh Phangan.

Agent that can open a bank account for me? I have the DTV visa and I live in Koh Phangan. 🙏

I just realized that I overstayed my 60 days. In fact, today makes 7 days over and I just arrived to Koh Phangan. I am trying to weigh my option on the most economical solution for myself.

Has anyone been stopped at the gate on the island and told to pay the fine before exiting the country?

Or do you only pay the fine when you're also getting an extension? I'm so curious.

Thanks for the support.

How to offer yoga/dance workshops in Thailand?

Many yoga teachers do it in KPG but what kind of work permit / VISA do they have?

Is it ok to do it donation based?

Hello everyone,

I have a quick and tbh, I guess quite unsual question for this group but I hope you could give me an advise.

I could book a super cheap flight to Thailand in just two days. (Saudia Airlines).

However, I'm worrying about the current weather report and forecast.

[members only]

Is it currently worth it? I know it's still rainy season and in fact, some daily rain would be fine.

However, it would be really sad if its just gray, not sunny at all and super rainy everyday or even worse (Chiang Mai).

If you think it should be fine, any idea where's the best place to go in these times? (10th - 22nd)

Was talking to someone and it was said that e.g. Koh Phangan the weather almost never is like the forecast.

I really love Thailand but also Crete, Greece is on the table and it seems to be super sunny there day by day - temperatures about the same as well.

Kinda not sure what to do and unfortunately I need to act fast.

What do you think? 🤔

Thank you!

looking to run some yoga retreats from november march. will need help for relevant visa. yoga classes and retreats will be at koh samui , phuket or koh phangan

Does anyone know of a good place to do Kambo either one session or a retreat? Approximately how much are these?

Good morning everyone! Apologies, I have asked a similar question before. I'm in KPG writing this 10 days into my Visa Free entry stamp. My intention is to extend this. Someone in this room did mention to wait until a week before the expiry of my Current Visa-free permit if I was to apply at immigration on this Island. I would like to firm up ongoing plans, flights, bookings etc so ideally would like to head on in and apply now. This leads me to this question? Will they send me away? Is it random depending on how busy the Officers might be? Really only after personal anecdotes and I understand there's no real hard and fast rule. Lastly, I have prepared my TM.7 form and passport photos. Should I get a document of residence from the place I'm staying as well? Thanks and look forward to hearing of any experiences. Rog.
