PHUKET: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Bangkok, who oversees the Royal Thai Embassies and Consulates worldwide, today confirmed that visa fees will be levied for all visa classes from March 5, 2010.

Tourist visas are valid for a 60 day-stay and may be extended at local Thai Immigration offices.

Foreigners entering Thailand under the Tourist Visa Exemption category (free of charge) must possess a return or onward ticket plus adequate finances for the duration of stay in Thailand.

The permitted length of stay given is 30 days when entering via an International airport, or 15 days if entering through land border crossing or sea border.

Tourist visa exemption countries are: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bahrain, Brunei Darussalam, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Iceland, Indonesia, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Korea, Kuwait, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Monaco, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Oman, Philippines, Portugal, Qatar, Singapore, Spain, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States of America and Vietnam.

Thailand holds bilateral agreements on visa exemption for holders of passports from Brazil, South Korea and Peru, and these passport holders are given a 90-day stay.

Citizens of Bhutan, China, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, India, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Maldives, Mauritius, Oman, Poland, Russian Federation, Saudi Arabia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Taiwan and Ukraine who need to apply for a 15 day Visa on Arrival at designated checkpoints and Airports will again be charged from March 5, 2010.

Tourist visas have been issued free of charge since June 25, 2009 in an effort to revive the Thai travel and tourism industry.

Bros.

Leaving for HKT tonight flying Jetstar (my preferred budget airline, though I hope to fly SQ once in a while) from T1 of Changi Aiport. Previous time there was in 1999 & before the tsunami, so very exited to see how the place has changed since then.

Staying at C&N hotel which a few SBF bros has recommended because it is near to Bangla Rd (when I see this word, my mind pronounced it as "bangalah" road) & girl friendly. Was looking at the Jungceylon Shopping Mall website when I realized it is connected to Millennium Hotel (Patong)!!! Rooms are really nice & hi-so but the price is still affordable in my opinion. Any bros know whether it is also girl-friendly??? My initial guess is it is not girl-friendly.

Our plan is to hit the ground running as it is around 2130hrs when we reach HKT. Check in, settle down, freshen up & then off to Bangalah, I mean Bangla Rd. More updates if my Thai Number is still valid.

Ja meh!!!

Watch out for tsunami bro junkie2807... The earthquake in Chile was of 8.8 in Richter's scale

BTW C&N hotel is very good in every aspect, except that there was this stale smell in my room which was often caused by poor ventilation. I tried to open the window as much as possible but couldn't get rid of it. Wonder if it was just my room or same for every room...

Thank you for the heads-up bro... So far everything is calm & quiet here, but keeping fingers crossed that it doesn't reach this paradise island...

Just woke up not too long ago... Last night was great... Reached hotel & was very satisfied with the location of the hotel & the general state of the rooms... No bathtub but doesn't matter... No stale smell in the room so I guess it could be an isolated incident... Placed out bags in the room & went to look for some food as my bro was hungry as he had a fun time the precious night prior to our flight... After that went to Soi Crocodile as a friend in SG knows the boss of the entire Soi... OMG!!! He owns the whole Soi & literally everybody that works here shows him the respect that we do not see very often in SG...

We brought him some red wine as recommended by our S'pore contact & he very graciously accepted our humble gift... Sat around the bars & went to the back of the Soi where they held the "Tiger" shows... Really an eye-opener for me to see girls showering each other & smoking cigarettes with their pussies... The best part was when she removed many razor blades attached to a long string from her vagina... Other then that, it was babes galore...

Soon it was getting late & we went to the next Soi where almost everybody was going to Hollywood Disco for more drinks & of course, looking for a Lerner to spend the night with...

More on the second part of my evening later on...

Ja neh!!!

Hey Jac6868,

Patong is definitely more happening in terms of night time entertainment as everything is in one place and it's all catered for tourists. Saying that the entire place is a tourist trap. You'll know what I mean once you get there.

Phuket town not so happening but there are a few joints you can go to for some "Companionship." The places are more for locals but if you do go you won't feel unwelcome but language may be a bit of problem if you don't speak Thai.

Personally I prefer Phuket town as I'm a bit sick and tired of Patong. I like Phuket town as things are more civilized so to speak and I think the girls in general are prettier and you get locals out for the night as well. I'm also local and speak Thai so it's a bit easier for me.

Read up on some of the older posts and you'll have an idea. Either way, I'm sure you'll still have fun.
