I like Thailand also.
What I don't like is all the carnage on the roads. Perhaps you'll happily accept the numbers posted over these so -called "7 deadly days" ?
After all it's been going on for so many years now.
Well. I do mine. simply because I can.
I suspect (and have witnessed) others that are just plain incapable . No doubt some of these hide under the excuse of "being able to afford to" or their "time is worth more".
Each to their own .
Except that they DONT wait. All the vehicles are off and running before or on the green light. Social acceptance is that there are gamblers and chancers everywhere on the roads.
Well. if you're essentially paying Immigration a bribe ( through a 3rd party agent) to obtain a visa, without satisfying the normal monetary requirements. and it's completely endorsed by same Immigration. then why the sham of opening/closing a "dummy" account for 1 hour? For who's benefit exactly ? Who are we fooling ? Hence I wondered if the bank statement/book dates were "doctored" to pass scrutiny ?
Not fishing. curious as to how these bank accounts are arranged to satisfy the "seasoning" period. Why even bother with the banking part at all unless they provide a false statement etc to cover the necessary paperwork ?
Agree. but am waiting for the knee jerking that would follow any high profile crime/terrorist act that might happen with the discovery that the perp was using such "agent services" to be in the Kingdom.
