What are the experiences of using Agoda for hotel bookings?

Alain ***********

Same here with Agoda. Duplicate booking as the first attempt was"declined" using PayPal. Then I rebooked the exact same room with a credit card. Then I found out about the double charge. Hotel told me to contact Agoda. No reply yet. PayPal will "check with the hotel". Both PayPal and Agoda are risky.

Dont buy insurance just for that. Get a year-long policy that will also give covid coverage. I'm paying 150€/year for mine

How can I apply for a Thailand Tourist Visa while in Cambodia?

Alain ***********

I'm in BKK and want to go to Cambodia for a couple of weeks as well. Cambodia is easy enough but coming back to Thailand is a real hassle with their 2 quarantine PCR tests. Such a nonsensical requirement.

Question about the covid extension. Does it require the TM7 form? I've got an appointment tomorrow Jan 24. I'm on a 30 days exemption VOA

And my wife got a 2 months visa from a Thai Embassy, valid until Feb 19. Can she already apply for a covid extension?
