How many times can I enter Thailand on a visa exemption without facing issues?

Christopher ***********

Similar to flying on a one-way ticket. The airport check-in desk sometimes asks for sight of return/onward ticket or ‘some sort of visa’ (their words to me). The next time I fly on the same route with the same airline they don’t?

Can my wife enter Thailand with a slightly wet passport that is now dry?

They do at an all vehicle, all persons, all ID document roadblock check. Never experienced one of these yet in Thailand though.

What should I do if I missed my 90-day reporting in Thailand and now face fines from my agent?

Christopher ***********

Fine for not making a 90 day report is 2,000 baht. Same amount for one missed report or more than one. Immigration at air, land or sea borders are not concerned with 90 day reporting, only overstays.

What are the options and considerations for insurance when living or traveling in Thailand?

@Lynn ******

That really is dreadful. Did you report IMG Patriot Travel Insurance to your insurance ombudsman?

What are the benefits of having a yellow house book in Thailand?

@Julian ******

Disagree on travel, banks and hospitals. Airline bookings are in English language and my Pink ID card doesn’t have English transliteration. Banks always demand to see passport as proof of ID as does both my community and regional hospitals.

Agree! Our DLT (Department of Land Transport) previously accepted Yellow Tabien Baan’s. However, they now insist upon a Certificate of Residence from Thai Immigration Office.

What are the best phone service options for expats in Thailand?

@Brandon ***********

Top advice! I carry two phones in case of flat battery. One has AIS pre-pay and the other True pre-pay. Add-on unlimited data packs on both. Never a problem connecting with either.

What services can allocate a UK number for receiving SMS verification codes while abroad?

@Tony ********

I find U.K. energy companies customer services to be atrocious too. Lack of experience, poor training and a desire to get you off their phone ASAP. Vyke is great for me. I’d never want to be without it. I’m sure you’ll be very happy once it’s running smoothly.
