Lane Hughes. There's no such thing as a 30-day Visa On Arrival. What you actually had was a visa exemption stamp. Its standard practice to get a 30-day extension on this for 1900baht. No need for your surprise. People have been doing this for years!
George Marinkovich. Used to be able to get them down Khao San Road a few years back. People think the police are not real smart. A friend of mine produced one a few years back at police checkpoint. The cop laughed at him and said "Khao San Road? 500 baht fine". 😆
George Marinkovich. Correct. Many people are sucked in by the online International Driver's Licences which are nothing more than another internet scam!
