Thought I better glean some info from the knowledgeable folk here on TD as to the current situation for a two week stamp from Ranong.
Firstly .. My situation .. Non O visa expired a month ago
. Flew to KL got one month on arrival Hkt airport.
. This expires Monday 23/2/15
Myself and the mrs will ride up from phuket to ranong this Saturday , completed the visa run and come back Sunday afternoon.
Questions !! ...
1. We would like to do the Andaman club visa but have heard they will not give two weeks there any longer if there's no current VISA in my passport. Ie .. They wont give two week stamps out .. Only extend as days permitted in a current visa. Is this a fact ?
2. If I get a long boat or ferry from the main port in Ranong to Kaw thing will I need to show funds for stay in the kingdom for Two weeks ?
3. Is it a better bet to ride to the Malay border or will I need to show funds there as I will not be part of a recognized visa run service ?
I have done this run many times before but after the last near death exp in a minivan
I prefer to take the bike for a spin.
I am an Australian national if it makes any difference.
We would prefer ranong to Malaysia as we can get decent accom there and look around on the Sunday .. Border point in Malaysia is a shithole.
Any info appreciated.
