Thank you for the detailed reply. I will check out the location and the form. I would of course get a 60 day visa before I left if I could. But I will not have time. I am working in Germany and come back to London only for a few days before flying out to Thailand.I have to sort out other things and just cant get to the embassy in London. I really dont want to post my passport etc back to them as I have already had post go missing here in Germany. I am looking into the possibility of getting a 60 day visa from the Thai Embassy in Frankfurt. If I cant do that then will use the info in the reply and get an extension when in Bangkok.

Also, is there an immigration office/place at the airport ? can I extend the standard 30 days as soon as I enter Thailand or is it best to wait till the 30 days are nearly up?

I found a place and have booked.

I got sent this, http://www.thaiembassy.com/thailand/new-visa-rules.php?fbclid=IwAR1h8iTQTa3KcZ1XQxVxPHBJSJZDJTFnxUCds2UmH-gF2OtA5Ek2tRjYHFY Looks like my plans will be ok. Looks like if I come in and out via plane I will be good.

I am a newbie to visa runs and getting visa extensions. Do any here know the following, How many visa runs can you do back to back? (via a flight in & out) How long is a good turn around time? (a straight turn and burn or is it best to leave it a day or two) Where to get an extension from the standard 30 days to 60 days while in Bangkok? Thanks in advance. Background info, I would be flying into BKK from London and would thus get the standard 30 days.

Am thinking of trying to learn something useful in a future trip. Something along the lines of web development or app design, or coding. Anybody know of any good colleges etc to do this please?

Although it maybe nice to actually make a list and find the girls in question it just aint very likely to happen. Girls move around from bar to bar like the wind sometimes and trying to find certain freelancers even worse. By all means have in your mind the ones you may have seen online, after all its Thailand Like others have said get there 1st then go with the flow, you may well see even better girls than you had in mind.

Yea am with ya nikki666, a good review but a few things op picked up on I havent had trouble with. When I goto any hotel and check in I either have with me, the actual booking printed out as proof or my phone ready with the hotel booking app open with the details. Quick flash of i.d then done. Also never used an ironing board or a trouser press in a hotel. Just outside this hotel behind the 7-11 is a good laundry shop which I have used so why the need to iron your own clothes? Drop off items one afternoon,next day pick em up all clean and ironed for a low cost, easy. The key card you can ask for another and sometimes wedge a another card in and that will by pass the system to keep the A/C running. The cafe downstairs I think is good, had a few meals there myself.And if you want a drink well...... like there aint nothing close? 555 As for the decor its fine with me, long as a hotel is clean,fresh looking and smelling its good enough for me. A few musts I like to have is a kettle, couple of glasses and a decent size fridge. Just a shame the prices have gone up at the Dynasty as it put me off last time I was in town. I aint no cheap charlie but it was just that bit much for me.

Janie Limo and Taxi Service Thailand, Pattaya, Bangkok https://www.taxi-service-thailand.com/ Used her last trip. Very good and a good driver, nice and safe.

Maxims Inn Soi 7/1 I stayed there before a couple of times but am seeing via facebook some photos and it seems the place is having a make over Anybody in BKK now can pop along and confirm this please? If it has all been done up from top to bottom I would consider staying there again. Thanks

Same, also booked it but I will use the Airport Rail link and BTS.

Probably, I have done 2 there.

The top 2 sounds good. I always forget about the market. I pass it and think "I will stop there to eat later" and forget.

Thanks

Ones I like are Cru, Octave and Vertigo Moon and Bar
