    Free visa is for 30 days I think.
    You can get a visa for 6 months but you have to pay, not sure how much.
    You can always renew your 30 day by going to Laos, Cambodia,Malaysia or Myanmar and coming straight back in again.

    you have to Q for you 30 day visa at the airport. as mentioned above you have to leave the country and come back in to get a new visa. do NOT over stay your visa.

    The 30 day visa is what you automatically get when going through immigration/customs, otherwise you can apply for a longer visa before you leave for, I think, $50 USD and this again.. this needs to be done by the embassy in london however, I think there is an honorary consulate on Harcourt St. in Dublin who may be able to do this - I am sure a search on google will turn it up.

    As Ferdi said, do not over stay your visa... if you do, you'll have a nice chat with immigration when you leave the airport departing for home! :eek:

    Do not overstay your visa - don't mind the chat with customs, its nothing, but the penaly has recently gone up to 500 baht (8 euro) for each day overstayed and i think if you stay for over a month without a visa, its a stiffer penalty.

    So basically for the 6 weeks you either apply before you go for a longer visa or you do a visa run into Laos or Cambodia, which isn't a bad thing really, Angkor isn't that far into Cambodia and its worth a couple of days to look at the ancient temples, please beware though you pay $50 US dollars when leaving Cambodia at the airport, if you go overland as far as i remeber you don't get charged this.

    Laos is class. If i were you i'd split the holiday up and head to LAOS for a week in the middle, then head into southern Thailand, towards the southern islands (particularly Phi Phi island). Theres a border crossing pretty near the south.

    30 days is plenty of time, in the Philippines you get 21 days and if you overstay by even a day they sling you in a nice third world prison. Probably best to avoid that place on the whole. :eek:
