This is the WORST TRAVEL DAY we have EVER had! (34 hours)

Things don't always go to plan do they? A slight change of plans to say the least as we wake up to some pretty unfortunate news. After arriving in Bangkok for only 2 days, we unfortunately could not extend our visa here in Bangkok, totally out of our control but we were basically advised to leave Bangkok and extend our visa back in Chiang Mai. (INTERNAL SCREAM) I guess we have to leave...
A quiet taxi ride back to the hotel we pretty much had to book last minute (expensive) flights, pack our bags, check out of our hotel earlier than expected and head to BKK airport (Don Muang) arrive in Chiang Mai, stay the night, extend our visa at Chiang Mai immigration and fly back to Bangkok at midnight. This was unexpected for us and it pretty much felt like the worst travel day we have EVER had!
We felt better the next day and took it on the chin, its one of those 34 hour travel days we will certainly never forget.

25 hours on car drive bkk to chiangrai ... year 2012 when there a big flood in Thailand ..That terrible

[@MrGman2804]

My worst travel experience was flying from London to Los Angeles, and falling sick the day I arrived in L.A, and feeling so ill, I decided to fly back to London again to recover. I was really really ill, so wanted to be in familiar surroundings. Obviously.... I survived.

[@dotcom2528]

On a tourist VISA you should be able to extend it at any immigration office.... the meaning of being a tourist is to travel around.....! You should talk with head of immigration now that you are back in BKK so you do not have to travel back to ChiangMai again in 2 months.....

Being a Thai, I find it very strange that Bangkok immigration sent you back to Chiangmai, since the Bangkok immigration has authority over all provincial immigration offices. This is totally ridiculous, next time let me know perhaps I could be of assistance!

Can you please explain fully about your visa, I am on stv which gives me 90 days followed by 2 extensions of 90 days. If you have been there for 9 month's how was that possible, also if you extend every 2 months then 9 months doesn't add up. I am asking because when my 2nd extension expires I DO NOT WANT TO LEAVE and maybe your experience will help me. Keep up the great vlogs and keep 😀🙏

[@ShevandDev]

Thank you! Yes we are on a TR visa so it is different, we are able to extend every 60 days. Maybe our mistake was doing it in a different province. As far as we know STV can be done anywhere so you will be fine 🤗❤️make sure you check where it possible to extend with correct documents in case we are wrong xx

Sorry to hear about your dilemma. I know in Thailand, often logic doesn’t prevail. It’s very helpful to have a Thai friend or two. It can really open doors for you as well as get you cheaper Tuk-tuk and taxi rides. Have you had similar problems with getting a Thai bank account?

Yes we did try to contact a friend and agent in CM who also thought it was strange, she mentioned the rules may be different in certain big provinces like BKK🙈We are so happy to have it sorted and continue our travels ❤️

[@sanglkvn9305]

One positive thing: You are in an age where air travelling in Thailand is convenient enough to allow you to travel back and forth quickly between Bangkok and Chiangmai. Many years ago when low cost airlines were not available, this could not be done. And, good thing it is Chiangmai, because it is a province with an airport as Thailand does not have airports in all of its provinces, and it is busy enough to have flights to Bangkok all day. Otherwise, you guys would have to find a place to stay overnight in CM. So, in the misfortune, you guys still have good lucks. So, think positive. Question: Why could you not extend your visa in Bangkok? Is it because you guys entered into Thailand through Chiangmai? Did the immigration give you any reasons?

[@ShevandDev]

Absolutely right, we are so grateful we were able to go back and forth i the space of a day pretty much! We tried our best to get some information or reasons! The best we got was it was not their jurisdiction, maybe each province is different. However we assumed it was possible to extend in any province, so that is why we tried in Bangkok🙈

We're hoping that it will arrived within 5 days, but it didn't. Our last day we bought a flight from Siem Reip to Singapore by Singapore Airlines and it wasn't cheap.

Chiang Mai immigration says cant do it here have to do it in Hua hin...because different province ( that's Thailand for you) travel to Hua hin, day after have new papers from new condo...go to Hua Hin immigration...but wait wait the Condo is in Cha-am...so that's in Phetchaburi...45 minute scooter ride later in Phetchaburi immigration...but some papers from new condo owner missing...so ended up having to come back to next day pay a fin for overstaying my visa by 1 day....lol. Got to love Thailand.

Oh we can totally relate and imagine your frustration! Maybe the rules are changing constantly between provinces, we assume its not the same process and also do not want to overstay! Haha so happy you got it sorted out though!What an experience 🙈🤗

[@suayhughes8103]

Sorry to hear that 😌😌

[@ShevandDev]

Thank you Suay!❤️

[@holahunter7326]

I feel sorry about this problem and I don’t have any idea why you guys have to return CNX for extending Visa?!

[@ShevandDev]

Thank you! We did not get much information either than it not being their jurisdiction unfortunately 🥺

I had to do the exact same thing, for the same reason, but worse, about 11 months ago. We moved from Hua Hin to Phuket, and 8 days after driving down to Phuket (9+ hours) Phuket Immigration told me I could not extend my visa in Phuket and had to do it back in Hua Hin. So I drove all the way back at midnight (there are no flights to Hua Hin), extended my visa at 9:00 AM, and drove back to Phuket immediately. I was absolutely exhausted. Now I am worried the same thing will happen next week. 😬😫

[@gary8173]

Sorry to hear about that

[@ShevandDev]

Thank you Gary!🤗

[@vw5873]

Because of pandemic so you have to extended at t the district that you are resident of , normally you can do that in BKK .

[@ShevandDev]

We thought we could have extended anywhere but apparently not 🥺

[@chenchacrit621]

Wish you two happy

[@ShevandDev]

Thank you so much!🥰

You can see Thai people are super kind even it was the official regulation that all travelers have to extend their visa at the arrival points, they would still say apology for not convenient. I’m so proud of being Thai 😁. You were lucky that it was Chiangmai, so many flights available from early morning until night. Anyway it was experience, wish you still enjoy to explore more. Be safe and have fun.

[@ShevandDev]

We are so happy to be in Thailand so proud to be here too! We really wish to stay as long as possible ka🤗❤️

[@wisarut.nualkaew]

I’m a musician, four years ago I flew from Bangkok to Chiangmai at noon and show at Jazz festival done at midnight, get some sleep and then 5 am. go to airport for the first flight to Hatyai in the south for next concert at 2 pm. and 9 pm. took a bus to Krabi arrived at 2 am. for travel there 3 days with my wife and fly back to Bangkok. Hahaha I mean I’m sick for travel for a while.

[@ShevandDev]

Wow we can imagine how tired you must be! That is a long travel day and you still have to perform for a crowd! Haha you need a lot of coffee haha🥲

[@surawutthikham7705]

I'm so sorry for your guys. It should not happen like that to you. It was hard to understand why the Immigration in Bangkok where is the main Immigration office can not extend your visa. I wish you both have a good time in Thailand ❤

[@ShevandDev]

We are so happy we have sorted it out and happy we get to stay in Thailand ka 🤗

[@Asralan78]

Sorry you had to go through problems but i really do think you should explain why they denied you in Bangkok so others might be aware. Goodluck with everything

[@ShevandDev]

Thank you so much! Basically we were told it was not their jurisdiction, we chatted to some friends and apparently its out of there control not sure why, we did not receive much information on why, but were told Chiang Mai was our best option.

[@Gary_and_Linda]

Visas in Thailand are not made easy. Not sure why. As far a long travel days, staying at your apartment disqualifies you. 🤷‍♂️. Try flying from Saskatoon Canada to Phuket via Vancouver and Hong Kong with an 11 hour layover in HK. We were way over 40 hours without a bed. Ya plus crossing 13 time zones and the international date line. The destination made it worthwhile. 5 weeks later, Dec 5 we came home to -24°C Today is our first full day home and we are suffering enough to question why we came home. LOL. No complaints though because our own bed was kinda nice. 😍 Maybe we’ll see you guys in Bangkok in January, yes, we’re heading back to Bangkok one month from today! Retirement is tiring. Haha. Stay safe guys!

[@inamorato89]

Can you pls share the process of extending your visa stay/cost/long-short waiting line etc, thx 🍷🍺

[@SideWalker562]
