Wat Fa Ham in Chiang Mai has Kayaks for rent, to paddle up and down the Mae Ping river. https://www.chiangmaitravelhub.com/attractions/wat-fa-ham/

Well eventually got around to applying for the 1 Year Multiple entry Visa at Savanakhet and it went fairly smoothly, thanks to all the advice given above. The only slight issue was my wife's signature on the documents, but a quick phone call between her and the immigration officer sorted that out. Once again, many thanks to everyone.

This is different from your normal extension, where you can then stay in Thailand for 1 year without having to leave. This One Year Multiple Entry Visa only allows you to remain in Thailand for a maximum of 90 days and then you have to leave. This is perfect for me, as I travel for business quite frequently and dont want the hassle of re-entry permits.

Is there any Thai Embassy/Consulate in the region, Laos, Malaysia, etc, that issues a One Year Multiple Entry Non-O (Marriage) Visa. Would be good to know where this is possible, as I used to get this Visa every year before Covid. Also if you can tell me what documents are needed, or if an agent is needed. Thanks Chester

Bliss Dentists in Mae Hia, took my 6 year old there when her adult teeth started to appear and the baby teeth had not fallen out yet. https://goo.gl/maps/Ssp9Tmz28XKQYkbW9

I always take electrical stuff to Amorn Electronics, based in the car park of Computer City. https://goo.gl/maps/2BSFTc1nJdbMv6L19 They fix most things and quite cheaply.

The current procedure is the same as pre-Covid. When arriving in Bangkok, there is a transfer desk, where you show your onward boarding pass. You then move into the transfer Immigration area, where you are stamped into Thailand and then move on into the Domestic terminal, where you then head to the gate of your next flight. Please note that previously security checks were done straight after immigration, which led to long queues, often back into the immigration room. That now has changed and the security checks are done prior to the gates, but this can also cause delays, so make sure you head to your gate with plenty of time.

Yes, I used to do my Non-O visa in HCM before Covid, but just wondering if it is still the same procedure or if anything has changed.

Has anyone done a 1 year Multiple Entry Non-O Visa based on Marriage, at either Penang or HCM, recently. If so, what were the document requirements and how long did it take and cost. I have tried emailing the two consulates, but no reply. Regards Chester

I personally see Dr Promphan in The Internal Medicine Dept of Bangkok Hospital in Chiang Mai. I have been seeing her every three months for the past 5 years and is probably the best Dr that I have dealt with in the past 30 years. very knowledgable and speaks perfect English. I can highly recommend her.

I tend to use Dara Pharmacy on Kaeowanarat Road https://goo.gl/maps/obyZvsjuP2kYnJ9FA They are not a chain and seem to have some of the lowest prices around. Also you may not get the exact same medicine brands that you had before. If the Pharmacy cannot advise you of good alternatives, then I would recommend Dr Promphan at Bangkok Hospital, who will be able to assess you and recommend a regime of locally available brands.

I bet the police were well pleased with that outcome. Didn't even have to leave the police station!

As CaptainJack said, there is a place opposite the main entrance to Promenada. Have never been in there myself, but seems like a lot of spare parts hanging up.

The Wall of Chiang Mai is not accepting any new Registrations. So not sure if you have registered before or not. But your best bet would be to go to one of the vaccination centers, like Central Airport, and hand them your passport. A friend of mine, who was vaccinated in another country and thus has no Wall of Chiang Mai registration, just turned up and Central Airport and was given a booster and a new 13 digit number on the spot.

Hi I am a bit stressed as waiting for a PCR test result before my flight tomorrow, which is being delayed due to an initial inconclusive test result. So does anyone know if Thailand accepts an RTK Covid test, for which the results are much quicker.

So, left Thailand last week and no one even hinted that they wanted an International Vaccine Passport. I think something being touted by the Ministry of Public Health, but just a way to make money.

Rodney, this time next year we could be millionaires!

If he is here on holiday, then he and his family already have plane tickets, so no need to buy anything.

It seems quite clear to me, refuse to sign anything and keep stating that you will not pay for anything if your insurance company declines. If they want to lock you up as an asymptomatic case, then they will need to pay themselves.

Has anyone used these vaccination passports to leave the country. Or more importantly, has anyone left the country without one. Just want to clarify if this is a legal requirement when flying out of or in to Thailand.

One of the main issues I see is that you have to be resident in a country for 21 days before flying to Thailand. This basically rules out any short term business travel. No popping off to Singapore for 3 days meetings, as you wouldn't be able to get back.

I bought 4 Ag Gold (German) from Dara Pharmacy, opposite Dara Academy on Kaeonawarat Rd. These were the saliva type, for my 5 year old, and cost 280 Bt each.

This was actually demolished last year and apparently they are going to build a new hospital there.

There is a place on the 3029, opposite Promenada shopping mall, which makes Stainless Steel to order 18.765103038016285, 99.0397072878575 Sorry they don't have a Google Maps link, so these are the co-ordinates.
