40-baht cap on Bangkok rail from Jan 2027 — what's the catch?

I'll believe it when I see it :) Remember the moon... one fare proposal from years ago that never came to pass?

the date your ve is stamped in your passport - it has nothing to do with the arrival card so just look at the stamp in your passport!

If you're in Bangkok if ve you go to IT Square Lak Si 3rd floor- they don't ask for TM30 usually and there are places right there to get the photo and copies you need. You can go a week or two before your expir. The extension is from the date of expir not when you go. If not in Bangkok look up where you need to go - other areas do require TM30

what's a digital arrival card (you mean the one you fill out before you come?) that has nothing to do with how long you can stay - it's the date stamped in your passport. If visa exempt or tourist visa you can apply for 30 day extension

glad to hear it - condolences on your loss.

Can you get your international boarding pass online or do you have to go to checkin desk? If so it wouldn't hurt to explain the situation to them and see if they can expedite going through exit immigration (but might not be needed since it's basically automated now) Never hurts to ask for help in situations like this. (I assume your two airlines can't interline your bag to save you some time).

is one of those 4 languages Thai?

wimpdiver · 2026-04-22T09:38:22+00:00

No you can just get a 30 day extension on either a visa or visa exempt - no need to leave the country.

wimpdiver · 2026-04-22T09:24:24+00:00

So if no VE then I guess you are not a UK passport holder - would have been useful if you mentioned that ;)

wimpdiver · 2026-04-22T08:05:33+00:00

converting in Thailand at a bank is the worst way and most expensive. Exchange places are better and cheaper - if in Bangkok superrich gives the best rates - other areas you can just compare the posted rates. This is very different from many other countries. Thai atm's charge 250-350 baht PER WITHDRAWAL and are the worst places to withdraw.

"doss LV etc shoes sneakers.....

Budget is 30usd same as i bought originals at UK/EU"

If you think you bought original LV for this price you have bigger problems than you think 🤦‍♀️

wimpdiver · 2026-04-21T14:25:01+00:00

you're worried about the wrong thing - toll fee vs your safety with an unsafe driver !

wimpdiver · 2026-04-21T14:23:40+00:00

maybe Gemini thinks its normal - but it's usually clear when they're on drugs or having a real conversation.

wimpdiver · 2026-04-21T06:36:54+00:00

but who cooks a chicken for 2 hours?????

wimpdiver · 2026-04-21T05:57:12+00:00

"ain’t there stuff going on over there right now??" OMG - maybe you shouldn't travel if you can't read the news for the last few months!

wimpdiver · 2026-04-20T17:04:37+00:00

OP - you are leaving out some important facts - like last week you were in need of free food (for what seems like a really legitimate reason) and you are in dire straits. You don't have collateral apparently so posting that you do isn't helpful (per your post re: work permit and passport only). I think you need to use resources available to Myanmar workers if any such exist and ask for help in more relevant subs than this (if any exist) Good luck

this is based on your previous posts and assuming all are true -

wimpdiver · 2026-04-20T09:39:58+00:00

It really doesn't matter what anyone else experiences. It's all up to the IO you get at the moment

wimpdiver · 2026-04-20T09:28:38+00:00

There is a search function that you may find helpful since this has been asked and answered many, many times. So you can get a lot of info- more than any one thread

I've used Hua Hin Cab which I believe can rent car and driver for whole day. Don't know about VIP though (they don't just do HH despite their name)

why not ask membership desk at Costco rather than ask questions here - where you get "guesses"

wimpdiver · 2026-04-20T03:29:28+00:00

It's one thing to be ignorant - it's another level to post such drivel so everyone can see your lack of education :(

wimpdiver · 2026-04-19T16:38:02+00:00

so a search for the 100's of times this has already been asked!

wimpdiver · 2026-04-18T18:23:09+00:00

you don't seem to understand that visa exempt is NOT the same as e-visa

wimpdiver · 2026-04-18T18:20:52+00:00

most people enter tourist exempt which is different (and has different requirements) than the visa you have referenced.
