You Betcha, Red Ryder... Of course... Best to arrive with Visa in hand!

One of the problems with Thai Visas is that the Thai Embassy's are give
some leeway, it seems, in the visas they grant. While, when I applied,
3 month visas were on the books, most Thai Embassy's and/or Consulates,
were no giving them, only 2 months max. Some Embassy's are sticklers
for all the paperwork while others are more lax.

This is the Thai way. While I had a year's visa in my passport the
Immigration Officer at the new airport only granted me a 90 day visa...
meaning I had to leave every 90 days, instead of just reporting to an
Immigration office. Bummer! - But his choice.

And, of course, the recent military government changed things to the
way they wanted. They even changed the rules and made the rules
effective THE FOLLOWING DAY so no one had any warning!

Hopefully the next government will be more visa friendly, but to expect
visa reform to be very high on their list of priorities would not be too
realistic.

Enjoy your visit... do arrive with visa in hand... for 90 days if you can
get it.

Oh, also, most visas can be extended once or twice without leaving
the country... just a visit and a fee at a local immigration office.

But don't wait until the last day to visit immigration... Thai holidays
are springing up all the time and the office may be closed when you
least expect it.
