Thai Non-Immigrant Visa 2

To be continue my story for Visa at here.

So after Saturday city tour, again we have to wake up early in the morning on Sunday, we get ready by 7am to be fetch by Kak Yaya, one of our friends at here to take us to "Na-Moo" so as to take bus to go Mae-Sai again. However, we found out that bus is too packed with people going for working, As time is limited, we have no choice but to take ''Song-Teaw" again. After a little discussion, we decided to take the mini bus to Mae-sai, then directly go to the bus station,''Kong-Song-Mai", at the other end of ChiangRai.


After reaching Mae-Sai in the morning, we go out of Thailand to cross to Myanmar, with this entry permit, we have to pay 500baht. *heart pain*

and this is also our temporary passport as our Malaysia passport is kept by the them there.

So as to show also we have been in the Myanmar. We took a photo with the welcome signboard. >.<

 Then about 1 hour time, we go back to Thailand, so as to get another 15days extension for our Visa.

Next we have a quick lunch in 7-eleven then depart to the bus terminal at ''Kong-Song-Mai", which the journey is already one and a half hours gone, until we thought that the uncle brought us the wrong way (or due to angry to us to cut the price till the bottom). But luckily he is on his right path. As we feel sorry for him to go so long way, we gave him extra tips, haha.

and this is the bus terminal,
 and picture showing people flooded with ''song-teaw'' again. haha

So after waited for 1 hour, we get in the bus. With the ticket cost us 475baht, we are going to Bangkok!
By the way, it takes us 12 hours to reach Bangkok, which we departed from Chiang Rai at 1pm, and reach Bangkok 1am. Luckily the bus is class enough, with mineral water supply and also toilet available in the bus. ^^ each of us given blanket too.

so this is the beginning of our journey to Bangkok!! and to be short and sweet as i guess too long i have written for that.. 

After we reach there, luckily one of the MFU friend is here, Hassan from Somalia, he brought us to the sister house at Bangkok to stay for a night, they also prepared dinner for us after we reached there. 

The next day he bring us to the Immigration Office and really LUCKILY he is there again, because we brought the wrong map for the old immigration office!! Then troubles never come once also, we finally reached the destination but queue the wrong one again, so have to wait again and again. Since 8am we are out but until lunch hour we not yet get the things done, so Hassan bring us for lunch at there again, and I tried this one. In the halal stall--->

Finally everything is done, Hassan bring us to try out the Arabic food, and only we know that there is a place full with Arabian. And this is what i have tried, only see before but first time trying.. hehe
then also the cocktail
before we go to bus station he even buy us this, (i dont know what it called)
But we eat this after 12 hours journey back to MFU, ^^ as the arabic food in the restaurant is already very big and full. 

And this is the memories that 4 of us built here, although initially the Visa made us really headache and worry, but what should I say to thanks to P'Ngew and also Hassan that guided us and help us alot. A feeling of warmth that really we are in the big family with all brothers and sisters around. 

This is 3 of us with Hassan and a China girl that we make friend with in half an hour period chat in the Immigration Office while waiting for our passport to be done, she is a University student nearby at there. ^^

and Hassan with the USM logo bag. haha.. 

Finally our Visa is settled, with a few more stamp is on it already after in and out from Thailand and with the non-Immigrant Visa is on! 


This end my story for the Visa. Thanks for taking your time, if anyone see this and going for the student exchange, or study abroad, remember to get done ur Visa, if not ways can be done but a long journey maybe have to pass through. ^^ and really to say THANKS GOD that we have settled it and can stay at here for the following 3 months without any worries. ^^
