@Paul ******

Yes, thank god you pointed that out.

@Greg *******

They will see straight through that. My advise is: don't fight it, life is a rollercoaster, just gotta ride it. Wouldn't you agree?

@Holp *****

Yeah I know pal, it's just speculation :(

Border bounce all the way, extensions are a pain in the chuff.

@Greg *******

as the great philosopher Keating once said: you say it best when you say nothing at all.

My thought too: Mike Holp | Professional photographer in Koh Samui Thailand.

Maybe it's because Foreigners are not allowed to participate in photography,

If a freelancer needs to be physically present in Thailand to carry out their work, it can be seen as a job that could potentially be held by a Thai resident, leading to disqualification. Just a thought.

Anonymous participant 973 Yep it does.

At Ranong, you need to go to the Thai immigration office and they will inspect your documents. Once they agree you are fine to be let back in you agree the return fee with the boat guys 200 baht each way is fine - Myanmar is visa free for 14 days but travel is restricted once there. Once you get to Myanmar get off the boat and someone will take you to the immigration which is a few minutes walk away where you will need to pay 500 baht. Go back to the boat, wait for it fill and go back to Thailand.

Why not? I just use my computer and don't have to book anything at all.
