Re: Thailand News Summary
Either way, its more fuel for the farang witch hunt. You'll have Batman and Robin (Anutin and Big Joke) all over the TV (where they spend way too much time), spouting off about the evil aliens and how they need to be controlled and curtailed. Expect more nationalism. "Phuket Governor Sophon Suw...

Although google agrees with you it's obviously no enforced.

Re: Thai passport renewal ... 10 years?
One thing that isn't so good or efficient about renewing Thai passports is when it is for "children" which the government stipulates is up until the age of 20. BOTH parents have to be physically present at the passport office to renew even though they are considered as adults in the rest o...

Re: Campers, Camping and/or a Van?
That's pretty much how we roll; everything fits in the back of the truck. Total setup time is about half an hour, so doable even for an overnighter. The main advantage of a van would be that you could also camp/travel in the hot season and wet season which isn't so pleasant when in a tent!

Re: Campers, Camping and/or a Van?
Are Camper Vans/Campers available for hire in Thailand - would it be safe to? If so, would they just be aimed at the Hi-So's at extortionate prices?

there shouldn’t be anything to worry about. "Shouldn't" ... but they're hunting at the moment, looking for any excuse. Reminds me of the days when the cops were busting farangs for cleaning their own bikes, mowing their lawns, or even playing music in a bar ... :oops: :duck: Its a stupid ...

Re: 'How To' - Requirements for visa extensions etc
There is no requirement to have flights booked, you just need a re-entry stamp which can be done at BluPort or the main immigration office.
