  1. The website is wrong as I showed 10000 pounds in my savings account but they sent me a email saying they wanted to se my every day  account with a minimum of 1000 pounds of witch I don't keep in my account so I transferred the 1000 pounds the same day and this was  OK. If you arrive on visa on arrival you get 45 days then you can extend it for 30 days this would be OK  for the 400000tbt for 2 months. Enjoy.

    The Royal Thai embassy in London only issues e visas. This has been the case for some time. When you receive your e visa you are asked to print a copy to give to a immigration officer. 

    Whe n I flew in last year I handed the immigration officer my passport and e visa receipt and  he put the stamp in my passport so your story doesn't add up?

    There is a high tech invention that has not yet become well known.

     

    It is a very esoteric , hush hush device called a telephonic ( or something like that ) whereby you can remotely call the immigration check point and get the up to date lowdown on crossings at this point.

     

    Sound like sci-fi fantasy to me but who knows...one day in the future might happen.

    Tried that last week and immigration told me to contact myanmar of witch I did but also a waste of time.So in the end I tried the old fashion way which worked, we can't all be clever clogs.

    Drove up to the Singkhon Border cross with Myanmar today (15km west of PKK) to do some shopping at the Border market.  A few folks who live around us used to do a border bounce there and shop as well, Yet, the border cross is still pretty much closed for all foreigners and the Border market reflects that, as only about 10% of it is up and running. Sad to see a once thriving and great market area destroyed by the border being closed for travel in and out. The only vehicle we saw coming in was a Thai Commercial truck with what might have been seafood loaded. We did buy a nice hand carved wooden eagle though at a very reasonable price.

     

    Here is an older article that was updated with one sentence indicating the closure for foreigners is still in effect.

    Updated today the 5th.

     

    But at the moment the border is still closed for Farangs.
     

     

    When the border cross does open for tourism it is a great route over the hill to Mergui and the coast at Myeik.

    The only border crossing open is mae sot Tak and yes falang can  cross, don't believe in all the negative posts.
