@Phil *****

you used “friendly thai visa” ?

@Phil *****

thanks I think the question is more “is it okay to bring my Luggage.”

@Vinn ********

I am going to be a service to make things easier for myself and reduce variability. Thank you though.

@Henrik ****

if I were to fly to another country and spend at least 96 hours outside of thailand before coming back would that be a safe bet? (Taiwan looks interesting).

@Henrik ****

so are you saying I shouldn’t do a border run and just leave for a few days or longer?

I didn’t even know there was a 2nd extension until the immigration officer at my 1st extension volunteered the information to me. That would be a bit unfair to mention if it’s frowned upon. (She also neglected to mention the 2nd extension was only 7 days and not 30, but that’s my problem not hers)

I didn’t expect to stay for longer than 30 days in the first otherwise I’d have planned for the visa.

@Nongnuch *******

yes - this will likely be the only time I have to do it. That’s not a problem.

Thanks for the info so far! So it's better to do the bounce agency land run because they take care of the enter/exit?

Is there a recommended premium service in bangkok near ekkamai or on nut bts that has a comfortable reclining vehicle that drives safely, etc?

@Todd ********

my mistake

You should get a fidelity or Schwab account that reimburses you for all atm fees at the end of the week or month . Best exchange rate with no fee.
