Somebody has now told me the important date to get the second year is not when you first arrive in Thailand, it is the "must enter by" date on the Visa. e.g. My "must enter by" date was 13. Nov. 2013. I actually entered on Jan. 14th. 2013. (I have exited and returned twice since ...

I am approaching the end of my first year with my O/A visa, and when i first received it, I understood i could get a second year without the income proof, (or 800,000 Baht deposit,) if I went outside Thailand, and returned before the expiry of the first year. Can someone confirm that this is still t...

So it seems for 8-10,000 baht I can get the Sports Villa/ condochain quality, and for 30,000 baht I can get a 1 bedroom condo in the newer buildings on the beach. But is there anything in the 20,000 baht range that is nice?

Thanks for the help.

Dear Lomuomart, many thanks for the clarification. My big hangup over applying for the OA was the eventual need(after the first year) to have 800,000 baht sitting in a Thai bank, basically doing nothing! Now that you tell me I can just show 65 K a month income FROM OUTSIDE THAILAND for extensions to...

I am the OP, and just to clarify, I am Canadian, not British, and am resident of Canada. After reading your responses I decided that an "O" visa with multiple entries is what I wanted, so I called the Thai consulate in Vancouver, and here is the bad news: 1. They only issue multiple entry ...

Sorry, I have read the other posts on this topic, but am still a bit confused. I am over 60, Canadian and have sufficient funds. I want to live in THailand on a "longer term" basis, but wan't to avoid the hassle/ paperwork for a 12 month "retirement" visa.I think I need a non-imm...

I thought my question was clear, but to add to it, the daily rate was quoted the same before and after the 15/16th of Jan, and just doubled on those days. Sorry for the delay. I'm in Canada.

Sorry to be dumb, but I am visiting soon,and when I got a quote for my Hotel, the rate doubled for Jan. 15/16. Is it some special holiday?

And what is the point in moving to HH if you are not going to golf and drink buckets of Ale?

Can one of you locals advise me if the new Marrakesh development is nasty or nice? They have some opening rates which are not bad, but is construction finished? Anybody seen inside?( I'm coming in January for a month.)

I need advice. I have found a nice condo to rent for a month in Jan. It appears to be thru. a reputable company, but they are asking me to pay the deposit (20,000 Baht) directly to the owner of the condo, and not to the Company! They say the deposit will be sent to the Company by the owner at least ...

Coming to HH for a month and plan on renting a car. I hear horror stories of people being subjected to forced payment of "fines" when being pulled over by the police. Please advise what I should do if pulled over.

Thanks you lucky locals you.

I'm coming for my second visit to HH in mid. Jan for a month.Should I book a condo now, or wait until I arrive to get a cheaper deal? ( Got one story of a very nice on the beach condo. that was listed for 50,000 for the month last Jan.; couple went there on arrival and got it for 30,000). Basically ...

Thanks for the help. Looked for comments about Talu elsewhere, and there appeared to be a common wine about the 900 baht for 20 min. ferry ride. Any way around this?

O.K. guys, i have read the thread for newcomers, but the info. given there is at least 3 years old ! Can you recommend a RELIABLE car and driver service to pick me up at BKK and drop me in HH. 3 years ago, i took a car back to BKK from HH, and it was much cheaper than the journey from BKK to HH. I d...
