I can confirm it's 500 baht . Left it in my hotel then got stopped 🙄
Upside the policeman told me to always have a picture of the IDL on my phone . Got stopped again ( licence in hotel) picture on my phone saved me another 500 baht 👍
the stv is 90 days extendable for another 90 + 90 . So 9 months in total.
You need £5000 or what ever the equivalent is in your own bank.
Book and pay for 3 months accommodation. Just book stuff and cancel it after the visa is issued. Agoda or booking . Pay on credit card and you don't have to spend real money.
I normally give them away at the end of each trip but they are quite nice and have collected a lot of stickers on them along the way so would be nice to keep them .
I may chance it . But I don't want to abandon them at the airport. My check in is well within limits so checking them will have no problems aslong as they don't get smashed 🙃
