Any dentist will do. Those with fancy store-front office tend to be more expensive but are more gentle. Those in back alleys tend to be cheaper but English maybe a problem.

"I apply for new tourist visa while out of country." turn-around for me, in US -LA, a couple of days

ThaiPass, couple of weeks. When was looking into this a couple of months ago, the recommended wait time is 3 weeks (10 - 13 business days or something).

Good luck. let us know how it goes

I had a volunteer visa that expired, I went to covid visa, left for the US for 5 weeks, came back no issues.

I did not try to leave on a volunteer visa with re-entry permit, I would be nervous. Going to get a new passport maybe extreme.

This happened to me. I registered twice. First time I check status and said the same thing. Resubmitted, immediately check the status, said it was in process (or similar), a few days later I checked status again, said 'no record' (or similar). Eventually, I got an e.mail telling me it was rejected because they could not confirm the hotel. I had a friend call locally to raise hell with both the immigration and hotel. Eventually I got an e.mail telling me I was approved.

You will need to contact someone by phone. Sending e.mails was pointless.

Someone recommended skype, I haven't tried that, maybe its an option. Have a friend call on your behalf. Thai people seem very laid-back about everything which is really great 90% of the time. In situations like this it freaking nerve-wracking.

First doctor I talked to turned me away. Off to the next hospital

Yeah, there are many things to take to help you sleep.. I avoid them because of the side effects. When I was younger I would take them because of the side effects.

I read in the fine print of my AXA insurance they'll cover the cost of flight if visa is denied. I dont know if they actually will but it does say they will.

I bought onward travel. Some airlines allow you to upgrade and give you free fligh-changes. Also you can buy pretty cheap onward travel to Singapore or Cambodia

They check my vaccine card when I fly domestically. Maybe you can walk everywhere

When I booked my travel they only required confirmed reservation for my week in sandbox (Phuket). In the past people will book a day or a week or whatever, just for the paperwork. Book a reservation that allows cancellation if you need to book anything further than a week.

I am shopping around for new country, sadly.
