What are the best options for withdrawing cash in Thailand and how do they compare to exchange kiosks?

Will my UK passport with an extended expiry date be accepted for re-entry to Thailand in 2025?

Mike **********

That’s interesting =

That in UK they add on the “residue”

I just renewed my passport

USA=

The new passport is good for 10 years from date of Issue — you start over fresh - my old one still had 9 months of validity.

Doesn’t make sense to add-on — since the World standard is 10 years

I also am feeling - after 24 years of coming to Thailand and feeling welcomed- that the current Thai Immigration policies are making me feel —

Less than welcome to travel as a free entity-

Seems really burdensome with all the pre- questions

I agree that you do get good service

But yes concerning prices

Now they are about the same as in USA

Compared to USA

In Thailand it’s up to 90% cheaper for simple procedures
