My missus, Thai , needed passport , I’d card only works , Thailand , you need photos, passport etc . Or crisp dollar bill or five dollar bill , which I used, never got change lol , but did get fast tracked past 40 others !

Terrible bus ride from krabi to Ranong , ferry terminal is at immigration , Ranong , I went January 10 2020 , remember well lol was my 50 th birthday , I had no problems then , Thai immigration stamped me out and officer told me to make sure I was back before 4 o’clock , obviously doing border bounce , no problem , my girlfriend stayed in Ranong went shopping , . Paid 300 baht I think , can’t remember maybe cheaper but my Thai not great and lady shopping , Thai guy put me on long tail with couple of French backpackers and Burmese workers , middle of trip you stop at island , Burmese had to get of , we stayed on board , but boatman took our passport and copies I think , everyone get back on and head Myanmar , stop , get of long tail , was asked when back I said few hours , through little office , hand over passport and crisp 10 dollar , ps there’s a god chance of getting slightly wet on long tail so be aware , , oh and falling in at piers , your climbing over boats to get to land , could have turned straight around and come back , but hey , met little street urchin , spoke loads of languages , got duty free cigarettes , told him I wanted beer , he took me shop , I took him bar next to immigration , had 4 beers each , I paid , cost me about 100 baht and that included tip for lady at restaurant , , probably walked no more than 200 meters in Myanmar , absolute easy , you don’t actually get a visa for Myanmar as you can’t travel , much further . Tipped my guy , but you know enough now so your call be he was great , spoke his own language and a good few others , great source and good fun , , . Well sorry so long but when I went I was flying blind , always good to have as much information as possible , can’t see it would have changed much as it’s the way the mynamese get into Thailand for work , on way back repeat little island , got back Thailand in probably 4 hrs , immigration officer stamped me in , wished me happy birthday , very easy . But bus Ranong to krabi long and slow , and I mean long 7 hrs of bad roads , no problem for me but lass Very unhappy , .

hi Brandon , just a quick ask , when has a week of accommodation come about ? Cheers

@John ******

Australia still a commonwealth country at moment , but yes lol , separate countries , commonwealth visa would be a good idea though ,. Would get to loads of places , no visa required , with British passport

Google it , found about 10 native to Thailand , with similar markings , kraits deadly , others nothing

Don’t look good , no bit hopefully

You have most of the answers here buddy , visa except , then extend for 30 days , trip to Laos , fly Bangkok , sorted but beware , on visa you have to show return flights within 30 days , , hardly checked by immigration but your airline might not let you board , just bear this in mind for all entry into Thailand

I’m inclined to agree with you sav , by the time you go through all Thai government info your lost , well I am , been coming here 30 years on of and I get lost. , at least someone here can point you in the right direction ,. Still got to go through thai applications etc but at least you have an idea , not flying blind , good luck , maybe try Phuket visa advice .

It’s still required , especially if going for visa extensions , never had any problems with not filing one , but take no chances with Thai immigration , I get mine done at local police station , never a problem/hassle . I’m only farang in village so they know I’m around , . I’d rather be safe than get problems at immigration on my exit , so kinda your call but definitely worth doing to avoid problems .
