Can my wife enter Thailand with a slightly wet passport that is now dry?

Barry ***********

I had a problem, a few years ago, because my passport got wet, nothing unrecognisable but the pages were dog eared, it wasn’t as bad as yours and had some real problems with passport control in a couple of countries. Get a new passports asap!

Can expats open a Thai bank account on a tourist visa while buying property?

Barry ***********

Why would you buy property in Thailand with all the risks, rent its a lot easier and if you don't like where you are move on. No Thai lawyers, no exchange rate issues, no waiting months or years to sell it.

Do I need medical insurance before visiting Thailand?

Barry ***********

They always say “if you can’t afford the medical insurance you can’t afford the travel”, it is not a legal requirement to have medical insurance when travelling, but you would be a fool not to have it!

Can we do a border run after entering Thailand with a 30-day visa for another 30 days?

Barry ***********

We are in Thailand , we tried to get a 60 day visa before we left but to late. Rather than spend the time and money going in and out , find the local immigration department in Thailand and apply for a 30 day extension, which we did last week. Took a couple of hours paid B1900 and there you have it.

Can I obtain a scooter license in Thailand while staying in an AirBnB in Bangkok?

Barry ***********

Make sure your insurance covers you for motor bikes , ours policy excludes riding motor bikes of any description due to the number of injuries and fatalities of tourists in Thailand.
