let's call them, it's much better. in december 2015 i went there to apply for my visa and they closed for about 12 days, despite on their website they wrote that only one day was off.....!!! many ppl were there without knowing what to do and many got into troubles coz of it... so be careful, that time i spent a lot of money (flight, hotel, extra) for nothing and i even had to re-organize my trip back to bkk, as i was supposed to enter thailand by car and fly to bkk from UTH... but due to the long (and unacceptable!!!) closing of the consulate i remained without visa and therefore i had to add one more night and buy another flight ticket directly from vte to bkk otherwise i would have received (by land immigration) only 15 days instead of 30... i repeat, lets call them, especially coz the next is gonna be a particular week for thailand and thai ppl...
I've just checked. in 2017 i entered thailand only once visa exempt for 30 days. as i said i'm on METV now, don't i need to bring anything with me? i mean, 20k thb, copy of my leasing contract, proof of exit (i have a flight ticket back to switzerland mid of november)?
and can u also tell me please: do u start from tesco lotus every day at 3am? at what time are we supposed to be back? thank u!!
