  1. I'm due to leave on Emirates back to the UK on 9-April which obviously won't happen now.

    I'm retired so don't have to rush back to a job.

    My visa extension runs out on 9-April and I have no problem staying until Emirates recommence flights.

    Would anyone have any idea on whether the Thai authorities would waive visa overstay until flights restart?

  2. I got my 30 day extension to my 60 day visa at Jomtiem yesterday.

    Arrived at 11am and there was a bit of a queue and the normal chaos inside.

    There is an agent called Graham (Thai) who sits at the wooden table on the left of the building before the entrance.

    I gave him my passport, TM6  and TM30 from my hotel. He gets the photos and photocopies.

    He sorted everything out for 2000 baht (plus the 1900) extension fee and I collected my passport 2 hours later.

    Not cheap but I couldn't be arsed with the normal rigmarole in getting my extension.

  3. Last year I entered with a branded duty free bag with 2 cartons legally (me and the wife).

    Once I got through customs and outside I was stopped and asked 6 times by different officers if I had extra cigarettes.

    This was in a space of 400 meters.

    Put any cigarettes in your hand luggage and it should be okay.

  4. Pattaya limo were a nightmare for me last month.

    I reconfirmed my return from Pattaya to BKK airport 2 days prior and the day I was supposed to be picked up.

    They acknowledged this both by phone and email, then didn't turn up, leaving me desperate that I was going to miss my flight.

    Had to pay an exorbitant taxi fare as the driver I flagged down knew I was panicking.

     

    They have never answered my emails or calls since then and I would never use them again.

     

    :D
