it’s sort of true, however in reality the IO’s at the airports in particular look at people’s recent history in Thailand over the past year. If you do more than 180 days in a past 365 day period then expect to be pulled aside and questioned

Just our kiwi passport and have an ongoing flight ticket just in case the airline asks.

Last year I attended a two day event hosted by Fitness first (one of the large gym franchises in Bangkok). They hosted a large fitness event in an indoor event centre to promote some new fitness programmes that are produced by a global brand called Les Mills. Anyway they had some rather famous international guest fitness trainer stars from this industry attend the event as presenters to perform on the stage along side FF’s best trainers. Since they represented a global brand they would now qualify as foreign talent for DTV

Aon atms charge 150 baht but there are less of them around. There is one inside terminal 21 asoke and a few other shopping malls.

If it’s a weekday be prepared for possible traffic delays if you take a car. If you know the train systems well then you should be ok, though going via train from airport to airport will require about 3-4 trains…. Red line, MRT, BTS, Airport link. Otherwise taxi to nearest BTS station may be a good option and proceed from there as Kenny stated above

for dental you would likely need treatment that spans over a long period such as getting an implant. I had implant process over last 2 years…. Get old tooth removed, wait 5 months for bone healing. Get implant done, wait few more months for implant to fuse to jaw bone, then follow up process of having crown.

Aon atm machines charge around 150 baht fee. But there are not many bank branches in Bangkok. There is an Aon ATM at terminal 21 asoke last time I looked. The mall tha Phra also has a branch and atm on the 4th floor. I’m unsure what the maximum withdrawal limit is however the lower atm fee helps.

First time, no problem. If been in country for over 180 days in past year then may be difficult through airports. Land borders safer in this situation. Best advice if you have been in country for more than 90 days this year (already been in and out) is to use a border run company to bounce you out and back in at one of their land border crossings. You can google “border run” and your “location”. Tell them your recent history in Thailand to be sure of the correct answer

probably need dental work that is spread over many months such as getting an implant then crown. I went through this process over last 2 years where first I had an extraction and then required a few months for jaw to heal. Next was the implant. It required a further few months for healing and strengthening before getting crown. Most other dental procedures can be done in short periods that can be done within visa exemption times
