Get a re-entry permit?

Especially if any shops/ restaurants and to some degree bars (won’t drink and drive) are all within a reasonable walking distance to our home. ....When comparing costs don't forget that if you rent a home in an area such as this it's going to cost you a lot more. Having a vehicle gives you options and you don't have to haggle with a driver every time you want to go somewhere and during the high season have to wait for long wait times to find an available driver. Consider this also, when you buy a vehicle and maintain it properly and later want to sell it you will recover at least 50% of your investment.

It's been lowered to .5 million baht.

@Ham *******

and every other shop also puts their daughter/son through university Lol. Universities must be full.

@Steve *******

Totally agree.

@David *****

Tell that to those foreigners that own property in Phuket worth hundreds of millions of baht.

I was once asked to purchase a 1 yr. travel accident insurance while opening an acct. at BBL. I refused and they opened it anyway.

Isn't the permitted to stay date the same as the visa expiry date? It is in my passport. A re-entry permit therefore can't be used to keep the permit to stay date alive beyond the date of the visa expiration.

So if I leave Thailand and return after the visa expiry date but have a re-entry stamp I will still be permitted entry and for how long?
