Will I need to pay a visa fee again when re-entering Thailand after exiting to Laos?

That’s a shame, Baan Sakuna is amazing. Maybe next time! Enjoy your vacation.

Mike *******

If you are planning to stay in Chiang Khong for a couple of days before you cross the border (which I would recommend), Baan Sakuna Hotel & Resort is one of my favourite places in Thailand. Happy trails.

Will the DTV visa lead to westernization and commercialization in Thailand?

Mike *******

Any effect will be marginal, and probably only barely noticeable in the already busy tourist areas (which I tend to avoid). The more dominant change will probably be seen in the 93 countries / 60 days visa exemption numbers. We’ll have a better indication in a few months, when the arrivals trend data is published.

Are unlimited visa runs by land now allowed in Thailand?

Mike *******

The answer to that will only be known for sure one year from now. In the meantime, in the absence of official publication, it’s all a guess.

Do I need to show a flight out of Thailand upon arrival on a Canadian Exempt Visa and can I do a border run?

Mike *******

@Philip *********

Fine or not, I would never exceed the 59 days limit. (various countries’ arrival documents ask “have you ever over-stayed?”) Harsh I know, but if your wife’s Aussie passport got stamped with an expiry date, I understand their very strict application of the over-stay rules.

What is the status of the new DTV visa in Thailand?

Mike *******

This is not a new pattern … only about 10% of announcements actually become law, and these are almost always late. Patience is your friend.
