Visa

passport & visaFrom the UK, US & EU countries you will get a 30 day visa when you enter Thailand at any airport.

If you intend to stay in Thailand for longer than 30 days we suggest you contact your local Thai consulate who will issue you a multi entry x 3 60 day visa total = 180 days, but you have to do a visa run every 60 days, which means leaving Thailand at one of their border check points i.e. if in Phuket you can travel by bus with a visa tour company for 1'800 baht to Myanmar ( Burma) This takes about 6 hours to go there & back.
