I think duty free is actually cheaper now in Thailand. 7 11 will be 150 ish a pack while airport duty free will be less.

BKK for some reason has very limited selection, no Marlboro for example.

Often you will connect at another airport in Asia where you can also shop.

As for B&H not sure honestly I don't look for them.

Really should be 60 with the numbers that stay awhile. Also keeps money , myself I do border runs if needed rather than extend here.

Thanks, hadn't realized that about staff. But they are the ones will give you headaches. Last year I had a flight 31 days until departure from BKK, and they practically had a staff meeting over it. That's why I asked about this one. Thailand it won't be an issue, they thumb print you and about it. Issue would be if you overstay, Thailand are not going to examine bank statements and return tickets, place would come to a standstill. Thx

I did this last year. You can go to an agent and get a ticket to Siem Reap, Might have cost about 2k but forget. You will change bus a couple time but its all very easy to do. And its a vey nice town and of course do Angkor while there. Every time someone asks this everyone says just go to Immigration, but a side trip like this can be the highlight of your trip, was for me.

@กะลาสี ****

Thanks I actually was not aware they can ask to see 20k. Not a problem as for hotel I always book at least first few nights, also that is on the arrival card too.

@Jim *******

Yea they worry about being responsible if person is denied entry.

@Patrick ********

Scroll through this site, people like questions more specific, like retirement visa or education visa whatever.

Thanks again, leaving in a few days I think late for the online visa (just found out about it ) But plan to visit a 2nd country so would solve it.

@Graham ********

Yes my other trip , ticket was actually 31 days and I got a lot of grief departing , Canada, from the airline who let it go after a lot of talk. But in BKK they didn't say a word . Thailand WANT us there overall.

Excellent thanks. I was trying online 60 day but having trouble with it

Generally I move around anywY, think Laos this time so usually solve it that way.

Good to know though , why I like Thailand actually, made to feel welcome
