Hi Everyone. This is my first post on the website. I have recently met a girl whilst on holiday in Samui. I have been back since to spend another couple of weeks with her. I like thailand but would like to explore other places around the world and take her with me. Where can she go without getting a visa. I just cant be doing with all the paper work of taking her to europe, aus etc. I had a uk visitor application declined end of august (didn't know enough, enough said!) I now realise its going to be a year or so and loads of evidence of a relationship before she comes here. Not a problem with me, I need some holidays! I read somewhere they can go all over asia? south africa? how correct is this (visa on arrival would be fine)

This is a great list. Thanks. is this worthy of pinning? because to manually search for a list on visa sites is not so easy. This does have it all in one place and then the onus is on the traveller to further check this is still valid. Great place to start anyway

hmmmmmmmmm, I recall my TGF required to get the V.O.A flying in the Siem Reap airport - ie. I had to pay 2*$20.

TGF also informs me that by road it's 1000THB for entry (visa?)

As far as I know there is now an agreement between ASEAN countries with regard to visa free travel. Cambodia included.

A slightly different take on this - can a Thai go to any of the bordering countries with ID card only, no passport? I think a Thai used to be able to go across the Mae Sai crossing into Myanmar with ID card only... but how about Cambodia, for example?

Just curious, cos I'm doing a trip to Phnom Penh next Friday and the gf has just lost her passport...

The division of the world into first, second and third was a political term which arose during the cold war.

The first world was North America, Western Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and other allies of the USA.

The second world was the Soviet Union and it's satellite states in Eastern Europe, China and other communist countries.

The third world was everyone else, sometimes called non aligned.

It was not an economic term, although often used as such by some.

Back on topic, now, please.

No visa required for Thais visiting Taiwan if they have a valid US, UK, Canadian, or Japanese visa in their passport.  Just submit the info online and print out before traveling.

Thai Nationals get 30 days visa waiver in SA, if they want to stay longer, tourist visa/extension can be done in country upto  period of 180 days/year, after which not allowed back in for a period of 6 months.
