  1. Yes unfortunately all couriers in Thailand are criminals. It was already paid to be shipped. But this country follows no protocols. There just freelance criminals. Prayut and his ask go for foreign investors haha what a laugh. Hey you old failure. I ship DHL in Phillipines free and USA AUSTRALIA. You just another no  reforming old prankster crook. Yes never ship via any international courier in this place. Customs please there idiots. Destroying a countries business reputation.

    Not obvious to the Aussie no doubt. Anybody with access to the room would be the obviuos culprit. And you working illegally doesn't put you in a good light. Believe I'd lay low and let the wife handle things.

    Stop with the ilegal work crap. He was merely visiting his GF

    But what does a back to back visa extempt actually mean? I stayed 3 days in Laos but still the officer gave me a hard time. I assume that my 2 months stay in my home country would be sufficient?

    THEY can play any game they wish mate. They are unpolished and unwilling to help tourism. it's normally the female staff. You are considered a border hopper cause the crossing was accessed by land. Get a single entry or multi entry visa. Then jump a border and etc another single entry. Then extend that at IMO.

    That's a bit harsh doggy. Sihanoukville has plenty of dead beats but most expats in Phnom Penh are fine. Because Cambodia does not really have a sex industry older expats in Phnom Penh tend to be very sociable and there are not many of them.

    Cambodia is not cheap compared to Thailand or Vietnam but visas and drivers licenses are easily available and the people are cool. It must more freedom than most countries in the world.

    All assumptions correct. I live on definitely more than 40k a months, I could set aside some 400-500 EUR a month, Elite thingy is 12.000 EUR. Save for taking out a loan against my life insurance I could not find that sort of money without making too many sacrifices. It would be "unwise", as saving some money gives you security if something goes very wrong, like you need a new set of teeth. So without touching what I have saved for emergencies I would need to save up 2 years, if nothing happens, by which time I would be 47 and only need 3 years on that special visa thingy because at 50 I can go for a Non-OA. And I might have to put some fund in the bank, just to be on the safe side, they might nudge the 800k barrier upward.

     

    See how that doesn't reasonably work out for most people, even if you have a nice enough income to live on? A downright desirable income for a not-so-much-a-third-world-country-any-more country like Thailand to get out of a foreigner just like that?

     

    That being said, if I were to just make a visa trip to Savannakhet every 3 month, everything as cheap as possible, straight from yellow bus over border to embassy same morning, crash at hotel, pick up visa and back to Mukdahan, yellow bus and crash in Patty, assuming I don't get a heart attack from that or my spine needs to get operated upon, that would be.... 50 motorbike+900 yellow bus+60 bus+1100 visa lao+200 tuktuk+2000 visa thai+800 hotel+200+60+900+50 motorbike... that's 6.400 Baht including the visa, discounting meals and any everyday expenses.

     

    6400x4x5= 128k Baht. Definitely less than the 500k, but more or less infeasible and too boring for my liking. If you take the opportunity to mix your visa runs with some pleasurable sightseeing activities, i.e. do a bit of tourism after all, that might come out the same money, just you got something for it.

     

    Forget this Elite thingy unless you don't need to care about money. In which case please PM me for my account and IBAN numbers.

    Yellow Bus from Patty to Mukdahan 4 or 5 times a day, overnight VIP busses 21:00 and 21:30, take some 12 hours with one stop in the middle of nowhere. That's the same company that had that crash that left one dead 4 weeks ago. www.iloveyellowbus.co.th or something, leaves from the back of the bus station on Northern Road near Sukhumvit. Maybe buy ticket a day or two early, seems to be popular. less than 900 Baht one way, bottle of water and some Thai diabetes cakes included.

     

    Rooms in Muang Muk are 450 Baht up, do visit The Good Mook Cafe. They also rent out scooters if you want to have a look round. Two days are plenty, nothing there, never found those waterfalls.

     

    Busses over Thai-Lao Friendship Bridge from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. every 60-90 minutes, 60 Baht. Some paperwork at the border, visa are 30 dollar if memory serves. Do bring dollar, it's a wild mix between dollar, Baht and KIP (10.000 Kip are 1 GBP, 1,10 Eur, 1,20 USD). Getting a big stack of Kip from some ATM is advisable, prices are in Kip and exchange rates are unfavourable. You will need to stay for one night in Savannakhet min (try Avalon, it's close to the consulate, reasonably close to bridge, has a late bar) because the consulate accepts your visa application in the morning and processes it until the afternoon next day. Queue of locals moves quickly enough, maybe 15 min, some guy has set up shop over  the road and copies things for you for 10 Baht or something, a bit more if you want him to fill that sheet in for you.

     

    Way back works the same, calculate 90 mins for border-crossing. Same 5 busses back to Patty and Rayong every day, do make an appointment with your physiotherapist or put in a stop in between. Or maybe take the bus to Udon Thani and take the train back to Bangkok.

    You are a champion of a man. I respect you and wish you the very best.

    Obviously you haven't lived or flown much in this country. 

    In the past 13 years I have only used my thai DL for check in without any problems,  same with hotels.

    If you don't have a local DL, then of course you don't have any choice but to use your passport.

    And airline staff are only looking at the ID page, they aren't immigration officers and couldn't give 2 hoots whether you are on overstay or not...

    Yes agreed although if the OP goes through stumbling and mumbling they may want a sqizz..I suggest you have your passport open at I'D PAGE. BE cool relaxed. They will whizz you through.
