Thanks Bonnie...Last time I looked for the Thai Embassy in Ireland it said to contact the Thai Embassy in the UK. For that reason I try to avoid it for fear of complications as to what applies in the UK and what might not apply to Ireland.
Thank you Brandon...That even answered another thing I was wondering about. If I stopped off on the way and booked another flight to Thailand from a non-exempt country ....Would it be my passport country that mattered rather than the country I bought the ticket in...Cheers and thanks again.
I agree with Marty's comment (above yours) after living in Thailand for 23 years...
You say that is inexpensive compared to the USA.. Wow!..USA must really be expensive, I've never been there but heard it was alright...but I never thought it was so much so.
As a matter of curiousity Brandon...How would the Immigration Officers know if you have been travelling around or not...(I assume you mean within Thailand).
Thank you Tamar. The reason I was confused was because I thought when one purchases a "return ticket" ...the outbound and return ticket shows both the dates on the one ticket. Therefore when you are checking in they can see at a glance that you will be staying more than the 30 days...But when you explained about the domestic flight episode, that explains it...
For myself, I think I'll just book a return flight within the 30 days and change it again after getting the extension....to save the possible hassle...I had a Retirement Ext. for 23 years and didn't have to care about this aspect of the flight.
