I recently posted here about the reentry permit. Since my flight was early in the morning, the reentry counter was empty, and it took me about 5 minutes to complete the process.
Now that I am back in Thailand, does my 90-day notification period start from the day I got stamped in?
Early warning. There are no public holidays in March so immigration offices will be open as usual Monday till Friday. However come April there are several holidays. Monday April 8th is a substitute date for Chakri day and offices will be closed.
Songkran holidays will be from Friday April 12th until Tuesday April 16th. Offices will be closed during those dates.
Depending on the office you use they will generally be manic prior and after these closure dates. If you can avoid using them during these times then it’s well advised to do so.
Land borders or airports are not affected by public holidays.
I hope to arrive in HH on April 9th. The one thing I did not consider Song Kran. I was going to take the week to arrange a bank account and visit Immigration. I know the festival officially is 3 days but, when i lived in HH 5 years ago it seemed to last longer than 3 days. Can anyone give me a guess on when it will actually start and finish (banks/Immigration)
I’m travelling from ko lanta to khao sok (ratchaprapha dam) on 11th April and need to be there for 11:30am so it will be an early start. Then khao sok to donsak pier for samui 13th April.
I can’t find and don’t expect there to be any way of hiring a car with pick up in ko lanta and drop off near donsak, so looking at taxis.
I’ve seen taxis on 12go for 4600 baht for the 11th April trip and 2500 for 13th April. Would you recommend using this site or are there better ways of booking, speaking to the hotel etc?
