Money and Health insurance
Hi all! My husband and I are so excited to be joining the camp starting next August. We have (so far) 2 concerns 1) We intend on staying several months. What would be the smartest thing to do in terms of getting our money to Thailand. We were thinking of opening a thai bank account and get our money wire transfered to limit bank fees, as opposed use atm or traveller's checks? 2) Also, we have a french international health insurance. We understand that this insurance has a special convention with the Bangkok hospital. Bangkok hospital has a pole in Phuket. Are you familiar with that hospital at all? Thanks in advance for your help |

Re: Money and Health insurance
You can not open a Thai bank account if you are traveling on a Thailand Tourist visa. easiest way to withdraw cash is via the ATM machine or travelers cheques.  Their is a link to the Phuket Bangkkok Hospital on our FAQ page .. follow the lonk below. Rawai Muaythai Camp - Frequently Asked Questions |

Re: Money and Health insurance
Thanks a lot for your reply. I hope that the embassy will issue us non-tourist visas. We took off 9 months of our crazy life to train at Rawai Muaythai Camp. Diana sent us invitation letters. Do your students usually get a non-tourist visa for such an extended period of time? By the way, excellent work with your site. It is incredibly concise and almost alive

If you are going to be in the UK .. then I would recommend use the Thai Embassy @ BIRMINGHAM, they will issue you with 1 year visa's over the counter. If you not in the area you can courier your passports & visa application to them. Thai Consulate @ BIRMINGHAM One Victoria Square Birmingham B1 1BD Telephone:01216439481 Facsimile: 0121 643 9485 www.thailand-visa.com |

Hi Danny! Sorry took forever to get back to the forum; been super busy preparing for our departure! Glad you liked the choice of word Thanks a million for the info about the embassy in Birmingham. The thing is: I am a French citizen and my huband is Moroccan. Wouldn't it look strange that we send our visa request to England??

Re: Money and Health insurance
Just called the embassy in Birmingham and they confirmed that they would issue a non-immmigrant visa to any nationality!!! sounds so unreal to me... Well, we have an invitation letter from the camp for 9 months. Will the Birmingham embassy issue a visa for the full 9 months, but more importantly; how many entries do we get? Thanks again! |

Got Visa!
Went to Birmingham for a one day trip. They are super nice: we got our 1 year multiple entry visas in literally 5 minutes. Mind you, I am a French citizen and my husband is a Moroccan citizen. Basically, they issue visas for people of any nationality. |

Re: Money and Health insurance
Danny: thanks a million. Went for a one day trip to Birmingham and got the 1 year multiple entry ED visa, in litterally 5 minutes. They said that the only condition was that we would have to leave the country every 3 months. (in and out)oh well, we're just gonna have to visit the neighboring countries Thanks again for the pointer! |
