Pattaya is not a huge city but it’s certainly very big especially if you include Jomtien. It’s inexpensive but dirty, sea that I wouldn’t ever swim in and full of the most undesirables you never want to meet. Phuket has many locations that not too big or small but be prepared to pay the price for its proximity to all its surrounding beauty. Samui is a beautiful island but too many pot heads there who’ve watched The Beach too many times and trying to ‘find themselves’ still. Hua Hin definitely worth a look, a little on the quieter side than all previously mentioned but by far the most sensible option. Never been Krabi in 16 years visiting and 2 years of living here so can’t comment there. All this just my opinion so best is to try them all and see what fits for you. Good luck.

No, I have to pay 1000 bht for this. All being processed through lawyers that act on behalf of the company I work for.

@Graham *****

IMO has informed I have 7 days.

@Graham *****

I’m already in Thailand on a Non-B. Have to leave within 7 days after it’s cancelled. When I re-enter, i’ll have days to sort, time is on my side so no worries.

@Jim *******

I’m coming to the end of Non-B visa so I have to change my visa status. Hence why I’m interested in your comment on DTV being a better option as I have to choose soon.

@David ******

it’s ok buddy, thank you for taking time to try and help. 👍

Thank you.

@David ******

I have a Non-B but it’s ending in November where I’ll be given 7 days to leave the country. So will be re-entering on TV and sorting along term visa once back. Good luck.

@Jan *****************

Thank you, very clear.

@David ******

Sorry, really not following you. On one hand you’re saying I can’t apply for a Non-O on a TV, then you say I have to leave the country (which I am) and enter on a TV (which I am) and then apply for a Non-O. Very confusing, please clarify.
