In Topic: Can You Do 3 Consecutive 30 Day Visas For Americans

For someone wanting to stay longer than 30 days, there is of course a double entry tourist visa with the ability to extend an additional 30 days while in country.


I recently emailed the Thai embassy in LA asking if it was possible to get a triple entry tourist visa with a 6mo. validity since I saw triple entry mentioned on their website. (validity means you have to use all 3 entry's before that date). The response: "Yes, you can request up to 3 entries tourist visa and validity of visa may be within 6 months. However, you have to make a request to Thai Consulate General, LA for consideration. Consular, Thai Embassy"

So that's 9 months if you time your visa runs correctly. $40 an entry.

There was a campaign by the Phuket powers that be to stop using public land beside the roads to put up billboards.
Just the usual hot air as during this week's local election there are billboards of the candidates on public land.
As for the giant bill-boards that visually pollute this place, they're all on private land, so, nothing will happen.
Let's face it. If Thai's are not offended by litter and fly-tipping, what chance that they'll ever complain about bill-boards?

"Fly-tipping"? Aren't you a Yank KB?

It annoys me when people in my country no longer stand for the national anthem, but each to their own I suppose. But this guy seems to have acted like a complete tool. If it was an adult, yeah that would have shown a lack of respect, but not a kid.

One big difference though...I believe not standing for the Kings anthem is considered an act of lese majeste. It's a criminal act.

... many times I have gone over the Thai border into Laos, Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia, Cambodia, China for as little as a few hours and then returned to Thailand to again easily get another 30-day entry stamp...

When was  the last time you did that? Land boarders give 15 days, not 30, for a few years now. Or am I to assume you flew "over the Thai boarder" since China and Singapore don't share land boarders with Thailand.

OP should look here for my report on Sihanoukville. http://www.thaivisa....79#entry4671579

Unfortunately they recently stopped giving multiple entry tourist visa's at PP. I confirmed this with 2 agents recently. And single entry visas are taking a week to issue.

Little jap bikes like the Honda Wave are so cheap here, about 800 quid in my home currency, less than a decent mountain bike at home.

Anyone who buys Chinese crap to save 200 quid is pretty stupid IMO.

Same applies to buying a gy200 instead of a kawasaki ksr110 or klx250/125 or whatever.

It just makes no sense. These Chinese bikes are a joke.

But a 200 Cross (LF-200 GY-5) is 45k. A KLX250 is 141k. That aint' no 200 quid.
