Can Canadians on a 6-month multi-entry visa leave and re-enter Thailand at land borders, specifically Myawaddy, and do they need to visit a Thai consulate before re-entry?

Aaron *******

You can get a 30 day extension in Thailand. Thus you only need to leave and re-enter once. Yes, you get the full 60 Days on re-entry, just be sure to have paper copies of MEV, and hand it to immigration officer, and check you were stamped in for 60 Days.

You can go Visa Exempt good for 45 days, soon to be reduced back to 30 days. Or get an E-Visa or a Multiple Entry E-Visa, good for 60 Days. On any of these you can get a 30 days extension.

What are the best options for transferring large sums of money in USD to a Kasikorn bank account in Thailand?

Aaron *******

If you open a Bangkok Bank account, you can (or at least I can), transfer direct from some US accounts to Bangkok Bank, at a great rate. Because Bangkok Bank has a branch in NYC.

1st things 1st. Slow Down. You only visited Thailand one time. Visit Thailand several more times on a Tourist Visa (60 Days) or Visa Exempt. Get to know the country and the people, a lot more, for a couple of years. Save your money and slow down.

What are the best places to stay in Thailand for seniors traveling from Canada during the holiday season?

Aaron *******

Book now, with an online site which states free cancellation, until a few days before your stay. Sometimes, your credit is not even charged until a week or so before your stay. Make sure this is clearly stated. I find Agoda has the best rates in Thailand, and I never had a problem with canceling and refunds, when it was provided for.
