We have noticed that many tourists are being scammed. As a group that often encounters new tourists, we believe it would be beneficial to periodically share a list of common scams so that they can be aware and avoid falling victim to these unfortunate situations.

Common Tourist Scams in Thailand & How to Avoid Them

Thailand is a very popular tourist destination, well-known for its temples, beaches, nature, food and more. With an inflow of 30M foreign visitors estimated in 2023 alone, it is wise to be cautious about yourself and your belongings when travelling to Thailand to avoid falling for any scams.

For our Russian members please be aware that although you are currently allowed a 90 day entry stamp, this entry stamp cannot be extended. Nor can the entry be changed to any other visa type or extension. If you were planning to apply for an education visa, or a Non O for example you would need to ask the immigration officer to stamp you in for the “regular” 30 day visa waiver stamp rather than the current 90 day stamp.

In Las Vegas until Flight out of LAX July 7th, nearest Thai Consulate is LA. How many days should I give myself between visiting the Consulate and my flight to have a good chance of getting approved for Multi-Entry Tourist Visa before I leave?

Hi all, just a quick question – I am coming to the end of my 30 day tourist visa - so I am going to Vietnam for the weekend. When I return to Bangkok DMK will I be able to purchase an extra 30-day visa for 1900THB at the airport on top of the standard 30-day passport stamp? Thanks
