I am moving to Thailand to be with my Thai wife in April and plan to retire there with her.

I understand that I will need a Spouse Visa. I hope to be in the Rayong area. Can anybody suggest somebody who could help with Visa, Bank Accounts, Driving Licence etc. TIA

Hi I would have a question about how the fine tm 30 works. I had already had a room in jomtien chonbury with tm 30. I haven’t been out of Thailand in years. about a month ago I took another room in rayong with annual contract, the owner did not do the 30 tm.now I decided to leave the room of jomtien. If I go to the rayong immigration to make new tm 30 of the room in rayong and show the contract started already a month ago, do I have to pay the fine for delay? thanks

5 year drivers licenses on a DTV - experiences? I'm wondering if those who've applied for a 5 year Thai driver or motorcycle license (or both at the same time) as a renewal from an existing 5 year one that is expiring OR a 2 year one that should be eligible for an upgrade to a 5 year one, did you get a 5 year license or only a 2 year one?

I know Sefton Hanley got a 5 year license in Chiang Mai while on a DTV.

However, in Pattaya and Rayong, they're only handing out 2 year licenses to DTV holders when they go in for their renewals.

Any experiences from other offices?

I have the feeling Bangkok will renew for 5 years, but this is just a hunch.

Where are some less smoky places to stay in Thailand during the months of March and April? I will be living in Chiang Mai full time starting in February.

Good morning all can anyone recommend a good lawyer to help with divorce please Rayong area thank you

This might be a thing that doesn't exist but maybe somebody here has a recommendation.... Looking for somewhere within about 3 hour drive from Bangkok with clean beaches and not 5 star prices. I know about Koh Lam, but we are getting in late and don't have a ton of time.

Hello guys

I am returning a small packaged smartphone with battery from Thailand to China.

Has anyone successfully sent a package containing electronics using Thailand post ?

Thailand Post in Rayong has just told me they would not ship any electonics in any way. I was surprised.

What mail service should I use, I don't know.

Any advice?

Thanks guys, you're always awesome

Hi - we have been travelling through Chanthaburi and Rayong and will head back towards Pattaya then Bangkok - we arrived on the 30 day visa exemption and will be looking to extend. I saw on one of the posts below that the Immigration office will want to see the TM30 - we have been using a mix of hotels and AirBNB villas / apartments etc so not entirely sure how to address the TM30 requirement in this instance from AirBNB - I'm travelling on an Australian passport and my wife on a Lao passport (if that is relevant) - does it make any difference if we extend in Rayong or Pattaya etc

TIA for any advice

Can I ask about getting a re entry permit. I'm currently on a marriage visa and flying to Vietnam at the end of June. When should/ could I get a re entry permit and what documents are required. I live in Rayong. Thankyou

Quick question

In regards to getting my driver's license if my residence certificate is registered in chonburi but I currently live in rayong province would it still qualify me to be able to get my license done in rayong ? A visa company in pattaya is asking me almost 8k to get my license and do the test in rayong and I feel like I can just do this myself without paying this crazy fee.

All information is appreciated thank you
