What should I do about my flight cancellations and layover concerns in Bangkok?

Book directly with the local carrier and forget about Expedia. They can’t help you.

What should I do about my flight cancellations and layover concerns in Bangkok?

Cliff *********

The flights are pretty cheap.

Get an earlier flight on Thai Smile or Air Asia directly to BKK.

Dump the original flight or spend a long time on the phone trying to change it.

Forget about going to DMK, it’s an hour from BKK and not any cheaper.

If your flight to TPE leaves really early, come to BKK the night before and stay at a local hotel.

What are the best visa options for retirees in Thailand who prefer minimal paperwork and self-insurance?

Cliff *********

As a 62 year old Physician I am asking if you really think it’s wise to have no health insurance?

Perhaps you don’t want to buy the minimalist Thai insurance, but there are other types of international health insurance policies.

Can I travel within Thailand and stay at a hotel without my original passport if it's being processed for a visa?

Cliff *********

I stay often at AirBnb places and no one ever asks for passport or ID.

If you travel with a Thai friend use their ID and copy of your passport.

Have a good time in Thailand!

How can I reduce my business costs while maintaining my visa and work permit in Thailand?

Cliff *********

So basically you get to stay and work in Thailand for $190 per month by paying "taxes" for "employees ".

What a sweet deal!

(Or maybe I’m missing something…..like actual salaries?)

What should I do if I haven’t received my Thai visa before my flight?

Cliff *********

You appear to be USA resident or passport holder since you own a painting business in USA.

You can get 45 days Visa Exempt on arrival and apply for extension.

You can just start over with the application process….maybe the email got lost?
