This visa specifically targets digital nomads, allowing them to enjoy extended stays in the country for work-cations without the hassle of frequent visa renewals.

- Holders of the DTV may stay in Thailand for up to 180 days per visit and can extend the visa once per visit for a further 180 days.
- DTV holders can bring dependents with them on this visa, including children under 20 and spouses.
The visa fee for the Thailand DTV Visa is Baht 10,000 (About US$270) The renewal fee is also Baht 10,000 and must be paid with every extension.
To be eligible for a DTV Visa, you must:
- Be at least 20 years old.
- Pay the Baht 10,000 Visa fee for the primary applicant and each dependent.
- Prove you have at least Baht 500,000 (About US$14,000) in a bank account to ensure you can support yourself.

A Light in the Slaughterhouse | Bangkok Movie Trailer
Introducing a gripping new Bangkok-based Movie project that needs to be told:
"A Light in the Slaughterhouse"
There are times when a filmmaker comes across someone so compelling and inspirational that he is driven to become a part of that life. A story that grabs him by the throat and tears it heart out.
James Lingwood (Director) was privileged and honoured to be in that position.
For over 50 years, Father Joe Maier has put over 80,000 children through school, rescued and saved countless thousands form sex trafficking, abuse, disease, poverty and abandonment.
After 15 challenging years, James Lingwood has recently completed filming and documenting Father Joe's work in Bangkok's Klong Toy slums. He now has over 60 hours of amazing footage that now needs edited. This video above is the TRAILER!
He now has the tools to provoke thought, emotion and action through his story telling and images, and to assist children around the world. A small way towards following Father Joe’s footsteps.
James's team require extra funding to finish the film in post-production (editing, music score, narration, animation, and colour grade & sound mix)
It is critical that the film is completed to increase greater awareness and to shine a bright light on the way that children are being mistreated in their millions throughout the world.
If you are interested to know more please note the following:
‘A Light in the Slaughterhouse’ is registered with the Documentary Australia Foundation and any donations made in Australia are 100% tax deductible… but anyone can donate.

Asia's largest Microbiome Library partners with Vimut Hospital
Dr Jeremy Lim, co-founder of the pioneering Asian Microbiome Library, partners with Thailand's Vimut Hospital to build the largest microbiome reference library in Asia.
This data will be helpful to support the development of health related products, business's and services that are tailored to the Asian market. (including the Australia region)
More than 2000 years ago, Hippocrates supposedly declared that 'all disease begins in the gut.
Gut microbiomes refer to microorganisms — bacteria, viruses, fungi and other life forms — that live within the human digestive system.
Research has shown that our gut microbiome affects our overall health; in fact several diseases such as diabetes and dementia are now believed to be influenced by processes in the gut microbiome.

Chiang Mai in Thailand's North, is known for its rustic and laid-back holiday escapes. Especially for those on a budget holiday, but its also known for Boutique Luxury.
In this case, my idyllic luxury escape was 137 Pillars House Chiang Mai, a resort where history blends beautifully with elegance.
The hotel is situated in the Wat Gate neighborhood, just a short distance from the Ping River and the bustling center of Chiang Mai.
Step through the entrance and step back in time.
The name "137 Pillars House" is derived from its original structure, which was built in the late 1800s as part of the British Borneo Company's headquarters, a base for some of first foreigners in Chiang Mai who were here during the 1800’s to source teak wood for shipbuilding.
The house was constructed on stilts, with 137 teak wood pillars supporting the main building.
Today, the hotel preserves the colonial charm of the original structure, including many of the original teak furnishings while offering modern amenities and luxurious accommodation.

The Raja Brooke Suite
The East Borneo Suite
The Louis Leon-Owens Pool Suite
Elephants feature everywhere here. The resort partners with Chiang Mai’s Elephant Nature Park, which is must see for visitors…
Overall, 137 Pillars House is a tranquil retreat in the heart of Chiang Mai, combining historic elegance with contemporary luxury to provide guests with a memorable and immersive experience in Northern Thailand.

Mae Sariang | Popular ride stop-over in North-East Thailand
Mae Sariang is an original, laid-back, integral stop-over town for riders on the on the Mae Hong Son Loop.
A typical circuit from Chiang Mai would include overnights in Mae Sariang, Mae Hong Son and Pai. Three nights and four days in some of the most stunning scenery in Thailand, and one of its most iconic rides on a motorcycle.
There are many resorts to choose from! My favorites are on the banks of the picturesque Yuam River.

Scooter Motorcycle Drag Racing in Thailand | Nakhon Nayok
Australian Motorcycle Commentator 'Dale Schmidtchen' drives 2 hours from Pattaya to Nakhon Nayok to experience a fun day of scooter motorcycle drag racing at its Rassamee Drag Track.
Scooter motorcycling drag racing is very unique to Thailand. It's popularity is driven by the country's vibrant small-bike culture and the enthusiasm of riders. These events thankfully provide a platform for riders to showcase their skills and the performance of their modified bikes. It also helps to alleviate illegal night racing on public roads!
Participants often heavily modify their scooters and motorcycles to enhance performance. Modifications can include changes to the engine, exhaust system, suspension, and other components to optimize the bike for drag racing. Many look like jewels!
Dale appreciates the more relaxed, respectable and simple approach to motor sports in Thailand, the way it used to be in Australia and the West in the good old days.

Mae Hong Son | Favorite Motorcycle Ride in Thailand
If somebody were to ask me what is my favorite place in Northern Thailand, I would have to say Mae Hong Son.
Its loop entails 1,864 curves!
Instead of just being a fantastic ride it's also an amazing destination. It's got a some sense of spirituality which I can't fathom. Regional expat motorcycle riders even have their own Chedi.
Situated in the top north-east corner of Thailand, near Myanmar, Mae Hong Son is a mountainous hideaway escape 300 kilometers from Chiang Mai.
There are motorcycle teams traveling through Mae Hong Son on every single day!
It's incredibly popular, and one of the top in Thailand.

Minimal Invasive Surgery in Thailand | VIMUT HOSPITAL
In recent years, the field of surgery has witnessed remarkable advancements in technology and techniques. These revolutionary surgeries are available in Thailand!
Minimally invasive surgery, also known as keyhole surgery, involves making small incisions rather than large ones used in traditional open surgeries. Specialized instruments, including cameras are inserted through these tiny incisions, allowing surgeons to visualize and operate on internal organs.
These techniques have revolutionized the way surgeries are performed, offering numerous benefits to patients and healthcare professionals alike.
Doctor Dudsadee Surakitbowon is one of the leading specialists in this field, with extensive local and international accreditation's, and hands on experience in both Thailand and Japan.
We caught up with him at Bangkok’s Vimut Hospital.
