They are obliged to give you the TM30.

You haven’t signed the paperwork so technically it’s not your responsibility, but your friend’s but I’m sure that doesn’t help.

It depends how much the deposit was, but if significant I’d go to the tourist police, at least to get the TM30 sorted.

I just got back today and I’m on a tourist visa now. No questions or problem

You’ll be fine. You are leaving within the 30 days so just show them your booking for Laos, should they ask (which in my experience, they don’t)

Yes, definitely possible. If you’re looking for retirement with a dog, I’d recommend Hua Hin as having lots of dog friendly places.

@Michael ******

agreed.

Airasia are the most stringent and often do weigh the case. If it is over the 7kg they can make you go back to check it in and pay for it.

Yes 7kg is little for a week, so 2 options, pack light and you can hand wash clothes or get washed cheaply here, or just pay for the checked luggage.

I have flown MANY times with Airasia. You may of course be lucky… if it’s only kg they don’t bother.

You can also wear a jacket with pockets and put heavy things in pockets, wear the heavy shoes / clothes etc.
