I'll be travelling to Thailand in June for 10 days to renew my extension of stay. My ฿800,000 will be seasoned for over two months so that should be no problem. My concern is having no permanent home. I'm planning on staying at Sutus Court in Pattaya on Soi Buakhow. Will they provide me a proper TM30?

The US has turned out to be the largest, most aggressive terrorist group on the planet and people are catching on to it. Just cuz the US says so doesn't make it true.

Yeah. Sprinkle that on your tomato plants. They'll grow much better.

Yo! Economy! Yeah YOU! Get aroused NOW!!!

Now, color me simple, but couldn't they track down this imposter by the bank account he gave to the victims to extort the money?

When will it finally be enough?

Nicest staff I've ever seen in Thailand. Their fare is great, else they wouldn't have made it to the 20 year mark.

Do the 90 day report online and avoid interaction. The less the better.

I've been doing them online for over a year, I believe they finally got one right.

I went there for xmas. Stayed fir 4 nights instead of 10. Its a <deleted> hole

I did the same years ago. I got a cheeseburger at one of the outside dining restaurants, noticed too late the colony of ants living in the ketchup bottle.

I just answered TWICE to this OP.  I guess he/she didn't like what I had to say.

well i can come later not a big deal. but when it comes to entering thailand, should i just come with a 1 way ticket with no visa, using exempt entry as im from usa? i dont think im able to get a tourist visa on a 1 way ticket as the DC embassy wants proof of a ticket out of thailand. also, for getting jobs is the diploma needed? or just unofficial transcripts good enough?

Again, join the Facebook groups I mentioned earlier. They are aimed at specifically answering these kinds of questions. And in the last few years it became law for you to have a physical diploma and official transcripts which they will then verify. For years Thailand has been a haven for backpackers to come for a short period of time, "teach" for a few months to raise enough scratch to cover their expenses, then blow off. Join the Facebook groups.

I came in over ten years ago on a tourist visa, a two-year degree, and found work immediately. Things have changed and schools are getting closer scrutiny right now. Be sure you have a full Bachelors Degree with transcripts. You don't need to be physically IN Thailand to use Ajarn. Unfortunately you have picked the worst time to come. The school year has already started, most billets are already filled. September/October is the Thai schools' next break, there are SOME openings available then. Join these Facebook groups and doors can open for you:

Wouldn't recommend any of the cheap Chinese knockoffs flooding the stores. Low quality. I bought two and kick myself for being a cheap Charlie.

They just rerun the video from years past, and will probably do so for the years to come.

With the new requirements, your only options are to use an agent (illegal and not recommended) or seek life in a country with less retirement restrictions. There are schools that will hire you if you really look. Times are desperate for schools.

This doesn't mean to ignore what the bank has said about refusing any more transfers. This is just a real time report that I transferred $2000 US from my US credit union to Bangkok Bank and it was accepted as of 03 April. They may refuse in the future, and I've dialed in Transferwise to the point I'm comfortable with their time and fees. Just sayin'.

Come on Trump supporters now, what has he accomplish? I really fail to see a single thing he did that is actually benefiting American citizens as a whole? 

I am as anti-Trump as a human can possibly be, but must admit when he first took office, he pulled the US out of the TPP which was a really good idea. But in my heart of hearts, knowing how he acts now, I believe he did this NOT out of clever, thoughtful direction. Rather, it was something that Hillary had helped put together, so he pulled the plug on it. Just like trying to repeal the ACA is not out of proposing anything better for Americans (Republicans are avoiding this topic now like the toxic, horrendous atrocity it is) but instead just to remove any policies set forth by that brown guy from Kenya.
