International Driving Permit. You need one to legally drive in Thailand.

It wasn’t that sort of club but I don’t know a word to describe it. It’s called a resort and it’s just a bar where old expats hang out. Not like a Thai bar more like a pub.

They are a rip off for everything. IDP $55 whereas in the UK it’s the equivalent of less that $12.

Did your accommodation in Chiang Mai file a TM30 (they are supposed to)? If so, that is the last place the immigration know you are residing at. I think a new TM30 is required.

Travel insurance as soon as you book your trip so you are covered for cancellation and other losses.

I’ve been asked on my last three trips, most recently when flying from LAX last month.

If you have travel insurance then check the small print with regard to return tickets.

We are seeing on these pages, more and more cases of entry being denied or the entrant being requested to buy an exit ticket for a date within the next 60 days.

So, basically, it’s not a guaranteed method of staying in Thailand. Far better to get the correct visa that suits your situation.

I can’t understand it myself. I went to a club full of old expats. Some had their wives with them. But none of them looked happy! Aren’t they ‘living the dream’?
