you can not convert a permit. It is no liscence... it is just a translation of a drivers liscence.

@Diana ******

it is worse in our so called 'free space' (Europe). Without proof of 55 Euro a day or someone to guarantee for you you won't get a Shengen visa (90 euro). We can at least walk into Thailand for free for 60 days... and a 30 day extention is only 1900 Baht. Again no money-proof asked... Lodging yes (TM30).

Ah I forgot. They also never asked where I was going (proof of lodging). (I had the addresses written on paper).

I travelled into Thailand three times last year. I was never asked for proof of funding or an amount of cash (I didn't even bring any)... And also not asked about proof of a return/onward ticket.

Don't be a tight-arse, just enjoy your entry/trip in Thailand 😄

The Thai Government website tells it all. Too complicated to answer. Every person has a different background and situation.

This, simple, question is not easy to answer in a few minutes. Do your research!

I bought this at CJ's. Also handy for facial skin problems. But against mosquito bites it is wonderful!

just leave it Brandon. It's not worth it. This guy has a set mind. Your answer is totally right. I was also thinking: "what the hell is he trying to tell us?!".

Won?

Well like any rules and regulations (like carrying your passport always, but people will say "I always take a copy. Never a problem..." Until they pulled you over): it is mandatory (for extention surely, but also in general). If you choose not to get one it is a 1600 baht fine (I believe). I didn't extend in December because I didn't have one...

now they have our mugs in the system, it will only get easier... 😂
