Hi Michael and Angieszka, I agree 100% that not always to the Boarding Agents ask and on all my 8+ years of travelling to Thailand was only previously asked twice for an onward ticket, but I was explained that going forward from this pandemic, the airlines have been informed to ask.... As luck would have it, on my 3rd leg of my booking last December, the Hong Kong Agent did ask and went as far as double checking on her computer to see if my booking was legit. So it is definitely good to be prepared. having said this, I read about this on World Nomad prior to my coming to Thailand and the positive reviews got me confident to try them out. Hope this helps.

Things that make me go Hmmm?!? I guess living in innocence and casting unfounded opinions to the ones who are actually sharing valuable information is bliss. Make sure to let us know when you need help, we promise not to cast judgment.

Very good recommendations.... Farangs often forget the dress code etiquette here in the land of smiles is imperative in getting properly served. Great advice !

I can totally understand why one would want to bring a puppy on a family trip, but as a dog breeder, lover and trainer, Thailand, where over 90% of all dogs are untamed roaming freely on the streets, is definitely Not be the best place to come relax with your puppy. Specially in the case of a dog to heavy to carry as this would definitely be considered a very high risk for dog attacks. While walking around as a human rarely is cause for alarm, bringing a domestic dog around the other street/wild dogs territory, specially in the dark which starts around 6pm, will most certainly cause you and your puppy major grief. Although I totally understand wanting to keep the family together for this Thai adventure, if you really love your pet, I would strongly advise to keep him safe in your home country for this one. Hope this helps and safe travels

I totally understand an onward ticket can be a pain, specially when one doesn't intend to use it, so prior to my travel I read an article in World Nomads that recommended successfully using BestOnwardTickets.com. I've travelled to Thailand endless times in the past 10 years and was never asked for an Onward Ticket before, but this last time in Dec 2021, the over zealous agent on the last leg of my 3 stop journey did ask and also did check on the computer to make sure and happy to report, the booking was there, thus No issue. Good to note, with a simple email request you can get your Onward Booking extended to 21 days. Hope this helps and safe travels!

Hi, I read the other posts and Covid Extensions is the way to go on a 30 Visa Entry... On this special extension, you will get 15 days for 1900 Bahts and then, just need to go back to Immigration to receive the additional 45 days extension at No charge. As mentioned in the other posts, keep up to date on the news for this Special Covid Extension as it may be discontinued at anytime. So be prepared with a plan B just in case. Hope this helps and safe travels. Cheers !

Usually best to talk with the Bank Mgr for this first time and mentioning that you plan to deposit a fair amount of money in the future won't hurt in your efforts. Should be an easy Yes. Best of luck and let us know how you make out.

That is a good option and once the Thai Pass is secured, one can just let the process take its course before investing any additional funds. Don't forget to Return Ticket and Bank requirement of minimum 20,000 Bahts = 600USD. In this New World Order environment, one must be a good boy scout and be ready. I successfully used this website for my Return Ticket : Best of Luck!
