  1. The less people buy the current offer (which so far looks good in this sense since they are way behind the expected sales), the more will they have to try to come up with a better offer. If I was considering this visa (which I am not), I would not care about the discounts they offer for things I did not need. I can negotiate discounts myself, and moreover, it is very easy to offer virtual "discounts" from prices which were pre-adjusted for these discounts anyway. Just my 2 cents.

  2. You do not invest to get the visa, you simply buy a nice condo for your money in your name, put money in a fixed deposit in your name and even earn interest, etc. and you get the visa for free while still keeping your property. Much better value than this project you promote where most money is wasted on promotion and not used for the benefit of Thailand anyway (since it is unprofitable due to low number of members, high expenses and perhaps pocketing the income by a few chosen ones, as usual). Anyway, give me same conditions as 11 years ago, I would buy, too. But today, no way, waste of money for something I can get easier.

  3. I'm with immigration on this one,

    No kids would mean no extension, unless a doctors certificate of infertility produced.

    Lots of pretend foreigner marriages in Thailand.

    This is very stupid comment. It is the couple's personal decision if they want to have children (especially in such a country as Thailand) and immigration and TV users who think otherwise should just mind their own business.

  4. I want to change visa exempt entry into Non-O in Bangkok but since I currently have ED visa, I need to go out of the country (I wonder why ED can not be change to Non-O but tourist visa or visa exempt can). Can I do a trip to Aranyaprathet, cross to Piopet, play at casino a little and return the same day to Thailand? Anyone has a recent experience?

  5. Do not get me wrong, I spend over 1M baht a year in here so the money is not the biggest issue for me. I just do not like to feel like an <deleted> paying them 500k for a few temporary visa stamps without any guarantee for the future. I can fly (1 hour flight is no hassle at all) to get such stamps myself and enjoy the trips, too. I have better ways for spending my money than for this.

  6. Just thinking out loud with some Math

    Direct flight to Vientiane - 3k, in flight wifi

    Agent to secure double entry with higher degree of success and deliver to your hotel - 5k

    c'mon, your math has serious flaws:

    Agent to secure double entry with higher degree of success and deliver to your hotel - 5k? 5000 baht for agent in Vientianne where everyone gets it anyway?

    My math: ED visa 2000 Baht, school 15k per year, 4 * extension @ 1900, trip to Vientiane (flight to Udon Thani 2 x 690 Baht via Airasia) + bus to Vientiane a few hundred Baht, total not over 30k. Hotels are cheap there, make a trip from this and you get added value, too.

    EDIT: PS: with the tourist visa it would be even cheaper
