If one really is a tourist traveling around staying in hotels etc., and although hotels must always do a TM30 reporting a foreigner staying with them, surely a hotel isn't going to be happy about having to provide a TM30 with signed copies of the owner's housebook and ID CARD for immigration?

I offered 20thb, but her mother said it was too much.

Yes but they charge about double for checked baggage. That's her to go on a comparison site first like Skyscanner.net or momondo.co.uk and you will see others like trip.com or booking.com offering the flights about the same as Agoda. The checked baggage on booking.com it's about the same as for the airline.

If U buy a new AIS SIM for 50thb they have a promo for 6 months 30gig for 200thb per month. But it looks like Dtac beats that.

Doesn't the amazing exchange rate with the Laos kip while you are there make up for it; making everything more than dirt cheap: 1GBP = Kip today. Most places sold a beer laos for kip for many years, so unless there has been rampant inflation it should be less than half price now, i.e., before the equivalent to about 40 THB so now about 16 THB!

@Dca ****

It was always cheaper if you paid in dollars; $35 rather than 1500thb. And they never complained at NKP about the quality of the bank notes which I always used to exchange at Bangkok Bank before I went. So now it is $40 is it? An increase of $5 since before COVID is not too bad.

lf he didn't he wouldn't have to do a 90-day report.

@Michael *******
