It’s my understanding that you no longer need to apply for a visa before arriving in Thailand. You now automatically receive a stamp for 60 days, you then apply in Thailand for the additional 30 days. That’s what I’m doing in about 30 days.

Is it a good idea to drive from Bangkok to Phuket in December-January?

Jim *********

I’m from Mansfield, Ohio and have been going to Thailand for years. I would not recommend you make that drive and I absolutely love driving but not in Thailand. I practically live on a scooter while there but leave the cars to the Thais.

Are 125cc scooters in Thailand powerful enough to travel uphill easily?

Jim *********

For about 25 years I raced big bikes off road and I love the little 125s in Thailand. No trouble at all keeping ahead or even with city driving. Hills aren’t an issue.

I’m wondering what would happen if I do follow Visa On Arrival sign. I’ll be in a wheelchair (knee operation) and the person pushing me might make that mistake.

yes, I think it’s now clear. Glad not to have to apply sending everything to California. Now just show up in Thailand with my return ticket 90 days after arrival. But still apply in Thailand for 30 additional days after 60. Days. Simple.

@Stuart ********

. Thank you very much. I have always had my return flight booked for 90 days after my arrival and will do likewise this trip. Such a relief not to have to go through the Visa process months before traveling.
