I bought a cheap ticket to KL within 60 days,I was asked by Singapore air at UK airport if I had a ticket, but they didn’t want to see it, same at BKK immigration, they asked when I was flying out, but didn’t want to see my ticket.

he’s aware of that, just trying to be clever

40USD for Laos and Cambodia, visa exemption for Vietnam and Malaysia

because the site is called Thai Visa Advice 😎

I had an onward flight, Singapore air asked if I had one, but didn’t ask to see it. My friend flew with Turkish air and was made to purchase an onward flight online before he was allowed to fly, it’s all a bit hit and miss, but better to have some form of cheap onward travel, even if you don’t intend to use it.

Chiang Mai immigration are pretty lenient and will process quickly.

I came through BKK 3 weeks ago, a kind young member of staff opened the gate to the priority gate and ushered me in, I am 75, just didn't think I looked it. 😆

I arrived 10 days ago, at UK airport Singapore air asked if hade an onward ticket, which I had, but politely declined my offer to show them, at BKK the IO politely asked how long I was staying, but didn’t ask for proof, my last exit stamp was March 2024, she did ask me if I had friends in Thailand, which seemed a random question, but smiled when I confirmed I had several friends in Thailand. I hope it will be as easy on return as I will be flying to Vietnam for a couple of days

Extension costs 1,900 thb around £40.

no I haven’t ever needed to, but my research showed that they are reliable, so I’ve used them for a few years, hopefully I’ll never need to make a claim 😊
