i have a bank account with the Kasikorn bank in Hua Hin but i wanted to open an account for my wife with the Bangkok Bank while we were visiting Bangkok next month. when i contacted the bank they said i would need a valid passport and a recommendation letter from the embassy to confirm passport and ...

sorry 100%

i agree 10% with stevepiraq. look to rent for a long enough time to see all the pit falls and problems before you make that decision to buy.

All the Thai embassy web sites i have looked at say the "O" visa is for visiting Thai family, Thai wife or husband etc.
it looks like a 60 day tourist visa is available with multi entry. am i looking in the wrong place!.

is it possible to convert a 30 day visa to a Non Immigrant "O" visa while in Thailand.
sorry if there is a thread on this already but i can not find the answer from a search.

was in Hanoi last week and no visa needed for UK passport holders. i hope this continues after the 30th of June, it makes things so easy and can only be good for the tourist industry.

won't work for me, it asks for passport details which i enter exactly as it says in my passport then it tells me my passport details are wrong. i have had 3 new passports in the last 16 years since i left the uk wonder if that has anything to do with it.

My wife and i are British living in South Korea just now, some time this year we will go to the Thai embassy in Seoul to apply for a "O" visa, i have down loaded the application form and on this form is a question asking " date of arrival in Thailand" and " Duration of stay&...

Korea may have good roads and plenty of speed cameras ( been caught on a couple) but fines are next to nothing so no one cares. i would rather drive in Thailand any day than here in Korea, i have seen some of the worst, most dangerous driving in Korea and i have lived in Kuwait !. They run red light...

me and the wife had tests done a couple of months ago at the Hua Hin Hospital, very easy, the male nurse spoke good English. they will give you a form with all kinds of tests that can be done, you tick what you want done, all are priced individually and he will take you to every department you need ...
