A road trip for you. Drive north on highway 21 to Phetchabun and visit Kao Koh and Phu Tap Buk. From there travel on highway 12 west to Phitsanulok and Sukhothai (many things to see and do). You continue straight west to Tak and Mae Sot. Turn south to Umg Pang and visit the highest waterfall in SEA. Turn north back to Mae Sot and take highway 105 and later highway 108 to Mae Hong Son. Visit the long neck village, Ban Rak Tai and Pang Oung (pine forest with a lake with swans). Ban Rak Tai has a great history, the Chinese lost army ....... Visit Ban Jabu on your way to Pai on the 1095. Unfortunately you are here the wrong time of the year for Ban Jabu's hill tribe new year celebration. Enjoy civilisation in Chiang Mai for a while. Use any of the routes available and drive to Nan. From Nan use highway 1256 and visit Bo Kleua rock salt well. Make your way down to Dan Sai and Loei province. Visit Chaeng Khan next to the Mekong river. Following the lazy river to Nong Kai and Udon Thani. Continue along to Nakhon Phanom and Mukdahan. Cut south to Trat and jump on a ferry to Koh Wai. End back in Bangkok (with or without visiting Pattaya). Must haves for this trip a good 4wd pickup or SUV, camping gear, camera, correct attitude and no set plans. Camp Mondays to Thursdays and stay in resorts Friday to Sundays. I only highlighted something's but there are some of the most beautiful places and people hidden on this route. I can promise you one thing few have ever done this. Look at the National parks on this route most have cheap camping sites and views to die for.

Yes, USD 10k per person for TP approvals for/after 1 May. As they arrive on 1 May they may need to meet the present requirements. Best to talk to their local embassy.

I think she is applying for an Aus visa. On the application they ask if a visa application of you has been refused in the past and the reason for the refusal.

First class cover cost more than second class and B 8k sounds correct.

@Nadine *****

irrelevant if you come in with a new passport. They can see all your entry and exit info on their system. It is an old wife's tale that changing your passport will clean your slate.

@Jonny **********

yes I think that would be best. Good luck and enjoy the wedding.

you can only get your non imm O based on marriage stamped into your Norwegian passport as that is your nationality and you had to supply your marriage status documents from Norway. If you enter with your Irish passport your Thailand entry stamp would be in that passport. Immigration cannot enter your non imm O visa into your Norwegian passport as it does not have an entry stamp and they cannot enter it into your Irish passport as your marriage documents are from Norway. Only option is to enter with your Norwegian passport.

Ask an accountant. Tax laws change and loopholes closes and others are invented.
