I did it a year ago. I had a ME non O Thai wife visa. Flew to HCMC, got off the plane turned around and got on the next one back to BKK. I was only in Vietnam for a couple of hours

That depends on which area he lives in. When I lived in Watanna my tambon was Khlong Tan Nuea

It shows up with a V not a W.

Just enter V in the field and it will appear in a drop down list. I lived in Watanna up until a year ago and have used the online form many times

@Damien *******

Depends on your bank. I opened my SCB account in BKK and moved to Kanchanaburi a year ago. I went into the local Kan branch and transferred without any problem. Altogether it took about 20 minutes, I took bank book, debit card and passport with me

I also bank with SCB, my UK pension is sent via a 3rd party bank. I apply to my branch and they get me statements from the 3rd party bank. (SCB told me that they only keep the last 3 months on their own records) They put the bank stamp on each page and immigration at CW accepted without a problem

I am on medication for thrombosis, I buy it without a prescription at a pharmacy near Chula and have it posted to Kanchanaburi. Takes a day to arrive and costs me B600 for a 100 tab boyyle.

So I'd check out the availability of your meds before attempting to import them, Thai customs are real hard nosed sods.

@AliJames ****

I got mine on 20 - 30 minutes here in Kanchanaburi

@Stacey ***************

I live in Kanchanaburi and got my bike and car licences last year. In addition to what George says I also had to get a certificate of residence (one for each licence) from immigration, about 20 mins, B500 and a health certificate from the local hospital, also 20 mins and B500.

At DLT I had to watch the road safety video, 1 hour. In all it took about 2 hours in DLT

I have full UK car licence, which is also a provisional bike licence and had an IDP

@Steve ******

It wasn't my car

The second time, to Cambodia it was my car

@Richard ********

You're quite right, I didn't want the hassle of doing that for a one time trip. And didn't bother to put it in the post
