There is nothing to do or see in Padang Basar!!

We had to wait 2h for a connecting train to Butterworth and the wait was painfully long!!!

(we arrived by train from Hat Yai)

much appreciated!

We are discussing similar reasons.

It’s the 800k THB sitting useless in a thai bank account that’s steering us away from continuing with the retirement visa.

Definitely get a visa before you get here!

Even if it’s just the initial Non O (90 days) which can now be done online!

Advice from a fellow aussie, get the 90day Non O from the embassy in Sydney!!!

(makes live a whole lot easier here in Thailand - and will probably save you some coin and headache)
