Re: Agoda hotel descriptions warning
I often use Google Maps to find a hotel and 90% of the time Agoda is the cheapest. You can also go to Tripadvisor and enter a hotel name. Then Agoda is also the cheapest, often cheaper than using Google Maps. You will also get a different price if you go directly to the Agoda website and a different...

Re: Thailand Immigration: TM30 24 hour reporting thread
Forget it. I have been to other provinces and even other countries so many times and never reported anything.

Re: Thailand tourism situation
On August 27th I had a flight from BKK at 6pm. I have never seen so many people in the immigration queue, even before Covid. It took me an hour from the beginning of baggage control to the end of passport control. Only every second counter was occupied. Luckily I arrived at the airport early enough.

Re: Filling Re-entry form (Tm.8)
If you go to Blueport you don't need the TM8 form. At the main office you need it.

Re: 'How To' - Requirements for visa extensions etc
The last time I did my annual renewal I asked the lady downstairs if I could get a re-entry permit as well. She said I need the form and again all the copies and a photo, so I said I will go to Blueport where I just need my passport. When the officer upstairs was processing my extension, I asked him...

Re: Thailand tourism situation
I arrived in Suvarnabhumi at 5pm yesterday and it looked as empty as it did in Covid times. Upon immigration, I could simply go to one of the many free counters. The 6:30pm bus to Hua Hin was only occupied by 4 passengers. Seems to be very low season now.

Re: TM30 Slip in Passport
I always have it in my passport. Last time I extended my visa for a year, they wanted a copy of it, which they never wanted before.

Re: Buying a new computer
I recently bought an HP Chromebook from Lazada for 5000 baht. I'm really surprised how fast it is compared to my windows laptop. It meets all my travel needs but of course has some limitations compared to a 20000 baht laptop.

Chromebook
Anyone have a Chromebook with Chrome OS? My laptop with 4GB Ram and Windows 10 really doesn't work well. I've read that the Chromebook is much faster and even cheaper.

Re: Twelve Victory currency exchange in Hua Hin
A few years ago I tried exchanging baht for dollars in Hua Hin but no exchange office made it and the banks said it takes a few days. But at the airport I had no problems.
