The Thailand expat forum for Travel, Lifestyle and Fun.

English Noodles

Well my 1 year multi entry non imm 'O' visa expired in January, I had a nice 15 month stint out of the bitch and it was time to renew her.

I decided on taking the Thai government up on there most kind offer of a free tourist visa until I fly out to OZ to get a new Non Immy.

Lastnight I went up to KSR in Bangkok and caught a bus at 8pm which would take me all the way to Vientiane.

Got to Vientiane at 8.15 and jumped straight in to a tuk-tuk to the Thai embassy and got there just as the gates had been opened, took a ticket from the machine (number 145), filled out my form and waited for my number to be called, number called in just over 1 hour and then off to wait for my number again in another area to collect my reciept for my passport.

All in all I was in and out of the embassy in a little under 2 hours with my application in for a Tourist Visa x 2, free of charge.

Tuk-tuk to my guesthouse, where I am now sat on the bed using the free Wifi connection.

Will update when I get back to Bangkok!

PS. Anyone in Vientiane now who fancies a beer after I have a couple hours kip?
