thats wrong Steve. i had a visa transferred to new passport in thailand. I renewed my passport and when i collected a new one i was given a letter to take to chang wattana where they transferred it.

As the is currently in The US id suggest a trip to the local thai consualte would be his most prudent move.

Joe, Im 90% sure its at the Sungai Kolok border. I did the train about 5 years ago all the way from Bangkok to Sungai Kolok then the border is about 1km ish away so I walked over into Malaysia...Im almost sure that sign is on the entry to Thailand on the Malaysia side......as I said...90% sure mate :-)

that sign is down on the sungai kolok border.

I guess you live quite far from immigration ! They used to visit you at home. I know if you wanted the ferang house book you had to visit local amphur office with neighbours to vouch for ypu so I guess immigration there do a similar thing :-)

lol thats one of the things I always bring back...paxo and bisto ahhhhh

well done, enjoy your trip :-)

.... .at land borders

Thats a good call Lloyd Turner...if you get off the boat at Satun with 2 land entries, the boat is on its way back before you get through immigration. They cant send you back anywhere

.....unless its raining and youre queuing lol

by the way, there are now only 2 boats a day each way from Satun Tammalung pier...they stopped one for Ramadan and have discontinued permenantly. They fill up early...the koh lipe ferry is full over a day in advance and when youre coming from Satun for the 10am...get here before 9.30am or they wont sell you a ticket...

@Tod ********

, I just this second got back by sea from Langkawi....i asked them about the 2 entry rule for sea borders and they didnt know...
