I think OP will be fine if he doesn't have an extended history before this visa but land entry via Laos is basically the opposite of air entry into Bangkok so not really relevant.

Any update on this? had been considering applying for a METV before today at London in case they suddenly jacked up the prices to match NZ

Not sure where you're located but in Bangkok you renew it at VFS global on Sukhumvit soi 13, not at the embassy. 2 pages per A4 is fine but you need to do all pages, including blank ones and the inside of the covers etc. Can't remember about the payment form but think they just did it there at the counter and I paid with a UK debit card.

Not that I'm aware of. I thought all the carriers within Thailand were the same for bag size. Think I've flown them all and never had one scrutinize my bag size/weight

If the price is the same I'd go with Nok

So no confirmation yet if this is worldwide or just NZ?

2 x 660ml san mig light should solve the issue

Well the RDA is 400mg so there is no issue with supplementing 200mg per day. RDA is generally considered the minimum to prevent deficiency and the optimal amount is likely more so I'd probably try taking more than 200mg to see if you get any benefit. From what I've heard about Melatonin, it's something to use occasionally like after flying to a new time zone but you don't want to use it every night. An alternative to melatonin could be to try supplementing tryptophan (amino acid) before bed which your body converts to serotonin and then to melatonin

Looking forward to the posts of Kiwi's who paid $1000NZ for a multi entry visa only to get denied at immigration because 'stay Thailand too much'

Umm that was Robin Williams. Robbie Williams is the guy who sang angels

Yes very friendly. You'll be given a pillow while you wait in detention before deportation

Thanks for the info. Didn't end up coming back in Dec so will be end of this month at the earliest making it over 6 months away. So should hopefully be OK with a SETV/METV

Cool, thanks. Seems like I'll hopefully be ok with a visa then but visa exempt would be too risky
