If it's a low cost internal flight, why not just go for the cheapest?? it's worth the risk in my eyes, I had a delayed flight a couple of weeks ago, and the Agoda app sent a notification of the delay, I wouldn't have known otherwise, it actually helped a lot, I could plan things better and not waste more unnecessary time at the airport, I was surprised because I didn't think third party booking sites did this.

there have been reports of immigration officers, messing around with peoples phones, trying to scan the QR code on your visa, causing hold ups, every time I arrive in Thailand my phone battery is dead, always better to have a printed hard copy, don't make problems for yourself, the Thais love paper, they haven't quite got on to saving the rain forest just yet 😂🇹🇭😎

yes I've heard of Thai men paying it, but I don't know if it was true 🤔

If you mention your location, there are some good insurance brokers in Thailand, you may get recommendations, an insurance broker would be happy to organise something to suit your requirements, have you considered just purchasing a good accident cover, and also a good critical illness cover?? They are the two things that could potentially cost you a lot of money, any minor illnesses you could just pay for it yourself, with full thai medical insurance, if over a certain age, or you have pre-existing conditions, they are usually excluded from any policies anyway, so it might not be worth it.

Option:1 The way I see it, your best option is to pay for an agent to ensure safe VIP passage back into Thailand, as suggested by Brandon, option:2 either that or pay someone's expenses to take his belongings across the border, but if he already has a flight booked leaving Thailand, that could get expensive to change it, I would say forget everything else and go with the easiest and cheapest option 1

any e-visas are supposed to be printed, the immigration officer needs to scan the QR code, people have talked about hold ups in lines, with immigration officers messing around with peoples phones, every time I arrive in Thailand my phone battery is flat, make sure you have a charger in your hand luggage.

You shouldn't be paying for a TM30 registration if you're renting through a lettings agent, have they got all the landlords details?? If so, get the details and do it yourself, and stop paying them, they are just using it as a way to extract money from you, I don't think immigration checks for a "complete history" of TM30s anyway, if you need immigration services for whatever reason, as far as I'm aware they only check for a recent one anyway, sounds like the letting agent is quite happy to keep you in the dark, and carry on taking your money if you let them, if they claim they don't have the landlords details how are they doing the TM30?? unless they are registering you living somewhere else,(agents do that sometimes for people that can't get a TM30) they might not be doing anything at all.

in my experience, they wanted the extra fare, I paid it because i couldn't be bothered with any extra problems, this was after a very long journey from my home country to Thailand, it wasn't a great deal of money anyway, I just didn't give a tip like I would usually.

It annoys me when they go around in circles for one hour, and decline any help with directions, and then expect you to pay the extra fare, it's Up to the driver to know where they are going, if it's he/she's the drivers fault, you shouldn't be expected to pay any extra, but I always have because of all the time and fuel wasted 🙄😳
