I bought a DTac eSIM sim from the mall for around 1200 - 1500 thb for a year service unlimited data. Just top it up when needed.

- Yes but had no fixed plan. I did 60 days visa, extended 30 days then Cambodia for one night. Returned with 30 days exemption and extended 30 more before returning to the uk 🇬🇧

- on my visit last year I only had a one way as was unsure of my plans. I flew Thai airways. I was worried about needing one so I booked a very cheap refundable flight from Bangkok to Cambodia just in case. I wasn’t asked so I then changed the flight date and used it later for a border run 👍

I was asked for the first time ever by Qatar at London Gatwick this month. Never been asked before in over 20+ visits. (I had a return ticket so no issue)

@John *******

but now with 60 days exemption no point in getting the visa.

I used just the itinerary for my application last year and was approved. I did actually purchase the flight after approval.

My Thai wife has Irish residents permit but still doesn’t allow entry to any other country. We have to get a visit visa even for England.

Irish visa valid for Ireland only.

I did my previous one in minutes myself at Nakhon Pathom immigration.

Easy and no issues, no appointment. Every district has its own rules and procedures. You have to do it in the district you are residing at that time.

- give them your documents and tm30 (as stated I checked into a hotel for that 1 night and got a copy) they will take your photo inside the immigration office and you leave them to do everything. Just return to collect your passport.

@Wells *****

- if you do it yourself get there mega early. I made an appointment but it was useless. You will queue for a long time and you will be sent from one desk to another and queue again. If you have plenty of time and patience you can save 2k baht. I done most of the work and spent most of the day then got given a day to return for the stamp several days later. I couldn’t wait as had travel plans. I paid the agent and collected passport with stamp next day. It’s difficult on purpose 🤷‍♂️
