Hopefully references based on 1st hand experiences.

Thank you.

I've seen this referred to several times. Is this an official Thai directive, or general observation/estimate/(selective memory perhaps)? Urban legend? If it is an official figure, if they look at a receipt inside the package, that could include tax and shipping, perhaps service/handling charge. Is the 1500 THB figure supposed to be the total for the item alone?

I entered from the USA on a SETV. Within a week my 1st 60 days are up and I have to renew for the final 30. Would appreciate help for some questions: What line do I get in? What time do I have to be there by? Do I need passport size photos or anything else to provide other than my passport? Is there a fee for the renewal? Also, Bangkok Bank told me they would open an account if I get what is apparently a Certificate of Residency from Imm. I've been staying at a hotel so I probably will be denied but will give it a try. Can the person renewing my Visa also grant me this or do I need another line after I get renewed? I can see from the sample form the bank gave me that a passport photo is needed for this (or possibly 2). Thank you for any info.

Was very happy with this for the 2 months it worked. Tested it recently by calling the number from another line and it goes to a fast busy indicating out of order line. CS isn't even trying to fix - just ask "What is your phone model" and then the 40 or 60% compatible which previously caused them to say "It will work" (and it did) now say "It will not work". T-Mobile upgraded lines to 5G and Ultra isn't trying to make older phones compatible - instead trying to sell new phones. Too bad. It gave me a US SIM/phone # and it accepts promo SMS (short codes). I guess I have the option of trying to find a compatible local burner phone with which it will work - if such exists. Could insist on testing Ultra SIM before purchase. Does anyone have a suggestion for a phone for this purpose?
