Anonymous participant OK cool. I haven’t seen any reports from that border but hopefully others with experience can advise.

There shouldn’t be any issues entering by land air or sea. You have a valid visa.

That said some borders may have “special” requirements. State the border you are going to use and others with experience of that border may be able to advise.

Ferry and your car or a bus to Ranong. Closer than Malaysia but still a long trip.

Haven’t been through Swampy for a long time but I do remember seeing a post saying the re-entry desks had moved.

Perhaps I’m mis-remembering but maybe someone who’s travelled through there recently can confirm.

If you give details about what your question is and specifics about yourself then others can help. You may get someone making fun but you’ll quickly get to know who to block.

If you ask something like “can I get a visa for Thailand” and don’t give any personal information then no one can really help you.

I believe they were if it were part of a visa package with them, but it’s best to check with them as for the past few weeks things have been weird with banks.

No details of if or when they may change it back to 30 days. Hasn’t happened yet. It may not.

Most don’t have any repercussions of a one or two day overstay and just pay the fine of 500 baht per day on their way out.

The keyword there is most. If you happened to be stopped by police and found on overstay then that opens up a whole can of worms, that could potentially lead to a ban from entering Thailand.

Never plan to overstay. It probably won’t happen to you but if it does you’ll live to regret those can of worms.

Good for you. Getting a sim won’t be difficult, choose from AIS or True (much of a muchness) registered in your name.

The bank account opening may not be so easy. Up until very recently there has never been a problem opening an account with a long term visa (like a Non O). But recently we have had numerous posts from people that have tried and failed at numerous branches to open one.

You may find that you’ll have to go to a number of different branches (even of the same bank) before you’ll find one willing to open one. You could be lucky and score first time out.

Assuming that I or others reading your original post would understand what you mean makes you look the fool.

With many visa (or other) questions on here we have to explain that the more info we have the better we can help.

Your initial post read that if you want to get cash out use Krungsri and get it out for 200 baht using a passport and you won’t get charged an atm fee. The fact that you used the term “market rate” would mean very little to anyone, and would probably be very close to what the bank interbank rate would be anyway. For small amounts the difference if any would be minimal.

At no point did you infer that this is for transactions over a certain amount. There’s no way you could assume anyone could ever think that you meant only for transactions over a certain amount, yet because of the comments you edit your post (4 times or so) to imply that I *should* have known what you meant.

I’m not in the crystal ball game. Mine broke years ago. I answer with facts, knowledge and more often than not with respect.

Where that falls apart is with arseholes like you who try to discredit anyone who doesn’t hold the same high opinion of you as you do. Then I tend not to hold back and give them shit.

You are correct. I am a moderator of this page. I help people with visa questions (or other aspects about things in Thailand).

I’m not sure that others will agree with your label of troll of the group but you are entitled to your opinion.

@David ******

Not sure who that comment was for…
