No alcohol on the commute over, water and chamomile tea on the plane to sleep, raw fruit and vegetables on the flight, no salt, and eat when they serve food it’s designed to help your body adjust to new time zones, download sleep music to your device, noise canceling headphones, blackout eye mask, travel blanket, sleep when your new time zone is sleeping and book your flight so you are arriving in the late afternoon so you can go to sleep at the normal time but refrain from going out that first night. Flew to Bali from Texas and never had jet lag. 30 hour commute door to door. Woke up at 6am ready to begin my adventure

No. They will change your flight to keep the discount rated ticket. Always book directly with the airline

The budget airlines (air Asia, Nok Air) in order to change for an affordable rate…you have to change to the same departure and arrival city…then…in my experience…it’s about the same price to change the original itinerary even with a “fully refundable or flexible fare”.

I have friends that are already here on the visa and they were not told to report 90 days. It is still a tourist visa not an LTR.

Google the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and look up exactly what they do…one of those is the creation of visas.

you are correct, the ministry of foreign affairs is not immigration, they create the visas that immigration enforces. We will not know for sure until mid October if the holders of the DTV will have to do a 90 day report. It is still, essentially, a tourist visa and according to the 90 day reporting clause, since they are not staying in the country for more than 12 months on a marriage, work or retirement visa, they do not have to report.

They did say in the video that it is a tourist visa.

the DTV stands for Destination Thailand Visa. It is set up for people that are on a workcation or want to learn Thai or Muay Thai…also long term medical treatment. Yes, very new. Only in effect since July.
