best real thai message in kata area?

Hi guyz,

I am in BKK right now and i have never done a Visa run before. I must exit the country before 26th.

I am planning to do it in Malaysia to get a 3 month Visa, and then going to Phuket Island.

1. Nationals of the following countries DO NOT REQUIRE VISA for Social Visit. The duration of stay is 3 Months only. The countries are : blablablablablabla, Canada (wich is where i am from)

Can any of you confirm this ? Ty !

hmm not sure you can get 3mo visa in malaysia. thought everyone just went to laos. should prob get someone to confirm that you can get one there.

1 kinda confirms itself.

anyone have to go on a visarun soon? I will pay for your 2way ticket to Singapore if you will pick up a laptop for me.

preferably someone i know or that has good connections with the community

I got a 90 days visa exempt stamp for Malaysia on arrival as a British Citizen if that's what you were asking.

i'm getting my extension tomorrow, but i'm gonna have to go to Laos or Cambo probably for a new 2x entry

laos and cambo no good, don't have the laptop i need.

Cool, so there should be no problem entering the coutry (without visa ?)

Sorry i don't know **** about all of this

anyone ever stayed @ V residence on suk betwen suk soi 26 and 28 or Hopeland serviced apartments? opinions?

Yep just show up, you'll be fine

I am a Canadian and I stayed in Malaysia for over 4 years on tourist visas - 90days at a time...no worries...best and easiest immigration imo - nothing to worry about

Malaysia is the best place to go if you already have a visa and just want/have to leave the country and come back to thailand as they don't have visa fees entering the country or leaving it.

laos has a $35 fee for their visa on entry and cambodia has $20 visa fee on entry and $25 exit fee

if you need a new visa (you have used all entries from your existing one if you had one) AND want to stay in thailand longterm but also don't want to go anywhere far then Laos is the best bet getting the new visa as it's the only neighbouring country to Thailand that issues double entry tourist visas (good for 6 months stay in thailand with extensions and one border run).

obv if you got kids with a thai or are married or in school etc then you got other options but tourist visas are the most hassle free atm IMO

if someone wants answers to their specific situation just PM me or post here

V residence look nice, but doesnt have a pool... so its a big no for me. I dont know Hopeland. You should check the new Pan Pacific Suites on Thong lor soi 8, it look pretty good.

ya and after looking through their website no Gym either

Is it bad luck to have a view of the back of Buddhas head?


Plz PM me for sport in phuket, missed bball

dunno. it is bad luck to bet any amount on any street that doesn't contain all 5s.

Hey, I'm in Phuket now and really want to either start going to a gym and/or do some Muay Thai training.

-Where are the island's good gyms? (preferably would like to see a squat rack, bench etc.)
-Is the Muay Thai training thing also for people who don't want to fight? I'm just interested in getting fit and heard the personal trainers can be super cheap

There are quite a few decent gyms on Phuket.
Where are you staying?
Don's gym in Kata is decent. Has bench, squat rack etc.
Chalong gym is also good as is Nai Harn gym (the latter is a bit expensive though)
I haven't been to Rawai gym but heard it's decent altho old equipment...

It's going to be hard to get 2-3 bedroom pat with fast Internet and good location like thong lor for $800/mo. if you want to have a furnished place that doesn't look like it came out of a 70s movie. That's my experience at least...

I've been looking at thaivisa.com classifieds for a place. Are there any other resources to use? Newspaper? Reputable agencies recommended by 2p2 members?

Take a look at thaiapartment.com

Also, to clarify my response above, I think you should be able to get 1 bedroom or studio for that price. But not 2-3 bedroom.

im heading to thailand for month and looking at my options for accommodations. just wondering would it be possible to rent any of these listings for just a month? or are all of these long term rentals

i'm renting an apartment from here http://www.kamala-hills.com/apartmen...partments.html

you can rent on 1/2 week basis or month

Most serviced apartments allow you to rent by the week, month, year - giving small discounts for longer commitments.

how much does this place cost a week?
