I am traveling to Thailand since 23 years, now being 50yrs old with German passport, and always on visa exempt stamp.

Since last year it seems using this way of entering the country is getting more and more tricky as I enter the country 2-3x during a 4 weeks holiday trip entering other SEA countries as well.

I also own a Condo in my name in Pattaya btw.

Now wondering what visa to apply for, probably DTV as I have all the requirements handy, to get not stressed with questions and evidence for my own purpose.

What is your guys recommendation in my case for 2-3 yearly visits to SEA in total not more than 120days but multiple Thailand entries?

I don't want to live there or apply for a standard tourist visa as I can't see a big difference.

As German I have also 2 passports (both German) which is allowed for critical purposes and land borders (Emirates, Israel, Cuba etc.) and I could potentially change my passport each time or so.

What are your recommendations for best and flexible options for myself?

Hey everyone. Just arrived in Bangkok on a 30 day visa free arrival. Just found out about the DTV and it suits my situation well.

Does anyone know of any organization to assist in the process from within Thailand?

Thanks a lot!

Hi all, are there any higher altitude towns/areas in Thailand where you don’t have to use AC or fan at night? (I’m thinking somewhere around 500m, where the humidity is knocked back and the temps are cooler.)

I’m not really well-travelled in Thailand - the only cooler place I’ve been to was in the mountains outside Chiang Rai, but I’m wondering if there are more (maybe around Pai??) Thanks!

Hello, I am hoping to visit Thailand towards the end of September for 3 weeks. I am getting confused with info on the internet. Which area will be dryest? Many thanks

Best method to go from Pattaya to Chiang Mai ?

Asking for a friend: Pakistani passport holder who is an Australian PR living in Sydney. He is currently on holidays in Pakistan now until 5 May. Should he apply for a Thai Visa in Pakistan or wait till he goes back to Sydney ?

What is the deal with Marijuana in Pattaya/Thailand.

Can we smoke it? Without Doctor's note?

Anybody have any recommendations for pot shop in the Pattaya area?

UPDATE:

Found some shop on Soi Bakhao. 800 baht a gram. Good stuff. I don't think I will become a stoner. My Thai wife couldn't figure out how to ingest it, she kept choking. I don't think she will become a stonre, it was fun Saturday experiment

Any suggestions where I can see a Thai traditional dance show that isn't a ladyboy cabaret in BKK?

Have a Question. i will be visiting Thailand, falling under that "no visa required if staying less than 30 days" but as I understand it, the hotel we are staying at is required to fulfill the T30 requirements. Do I need to satisfy any requirements?

*edited*

Aside from that, any tips on times to go with less crowds? I'm not feeling like waking up at 6am, but was told if I arrive around lunch time, I might not even be seen the whole day.

Note: Just here on a 30 day visa exemption, wanting to extend another 30 days. Thanks in advance!
