There's no trains on Phuket, so you need to go to the mainland.

I used the handy check on the site and ended up here. This has the information you need a bit further down.

Seems to be some driving involved from Chiang Rai.

A extension is 77AUD based on todays exchangerate. 😛 So it is still quite a bit of savings involved.

But the total might be not too far away from eachother if you add the initial visa-cost if you go with a tourist-visa and not a visa exempt.

Totally get that.

I plan on staying mostly in Bangkok when I go back, so I just need to spend some dreadfully boring hours at the immigrations office standing in line XD

But at least I'll save the money for the visa. :P

Ah, gotcha. The pricetag makes it a bit less interesting to be honest.

But thank you, it might be interesting in the future!

The problem isn't the time after you've submitted the papers, but getting all of the right papers. And the queue for delivering the papers.

I've only ever waited like 30min max after being shuffled into the waiting-room after delivering all the papers. And that was on what I feel was busy days.

Done this in Bangkok twice.

If you're just staying in Phuket anyway it doesn't really matter much.

You can roam freely on Phuket for 7 days, and after that you can go to the rest of Thailand if you so choose.
