I’ve just been for a month in December and put on the immigration form the very last hotel that I had pre booked and no questions asked, and that hotel was 4 weeks into my trip,. Always done the same thing,also walk in with no Thai money and about £40 cash,.never been asked for proof of funds,. I always go to first atm outside in arrivals and get baht to get me going,.

300 baht in hotel for lost key card,,

K,in fast track,.saw a couple on an electric milk cart in LHR tonight,.looking down on us poor“people”the shame !

Those replies above will never apply to me anyways,,..elite & fast track ,..I ain’t got that much money,,!

Maxed out my 30 day exemption this time,usually leave on 29th day,.by getting early flight from uk I was in BKK 0600 hrs instead of my normal arrival time of 1600 hrs,.

I guess i would/could get that from thai embasy in uk [london] ?..is it a faff to get or pretty straight forward,.i,e online application ?

yeh I’ve a long term Thai g/f and her house in kampahengpet so that’s the plan,just looking for the easiest not the cheapest options.

It’s a bit more serious this THAI visit as I retire end of November,so a lot more to think about than a 4 week holiday.

Was going to enter on the 30 day visa exempt ,then a visa agent has offered me a service before my 30 day expires,.told me no problem for tourist/non o/retirement/multi entry/single entry/,.dont need the big k baht in bank,.costs around the 25k baht,..sounds to good to be true ? !!,.everything is "no problem",.says i can get everything over there [thailand],.other than that just do a couple of border runs through mae sot,and maybe a flight out and back,also get a visa exept/extension,.etc,..i know its a minefield,....
