It's similar to the old joke.."Cant's fix the roof while it's raining, and don't need to fix the roof when it's not raining..

I just flew eva premium economy lax bkk. Round-trip 2500 usd. In 2019 that cost 1700 use. 800 increase in 6 years. Excessive? maybe. ~~6.6% yearly increase. The price had not changed more than a few hundred between 2011 and 2019

Yes. The crux of the matter is who officially decides what is assessable. How thailand implements or enforces the 180 day tax resident thing has a lot of ifs.

I just arrived bkk from the usa via eva lax connection through tpe. I had gotten a non imm O 90 day visa in advance from the thai visa website which used the Washington DC embassy branch. Arrived bkk 1100. Immigration lines were moderate and did not snake out into the hall. I had paper printed out the visa form, and gave that and my passport to the officer. Fingerprint, photo taken and passport stamped. I had done the tdac online and had it electronically on my phone as a file, and was prepared to show that but the officer never asked for it. All in all 20 minutes in line. Had carry-on only so went to magic food court. I had booked with bell bus travel online previously. For 300 baht total you get bus to pattaya north station then minivan to my hotel. Noted that the regular bus by itself is now 190 baht.

I'm in pattaya now. It is hazy for sure. I remember as far back as 2004 I would see quite a difference between rainy and dry seasons. I could clearly see koh lawn sometimes and not at others.

Yes. I understand. I just am not seeing any sim up front guarantees that I can ex tend validity indefinitely. I prefer to get one number initially and stick with 2it by whatever method is required

No, you don't seem to understand. I want a guaranteed up front long term sim and phone number that can be extended indefinitely. I understand the topping up extending , but most do not seem to be assured of permanent validity .I prefer to get one and only one phone number and know that when I get it, it can be kept as long as I want.

Folks it just seems odd . Surely thais get a phone number and keep it for years. I understand the tourist thing and it's limits or quirks, and some posters seem to have been able to keep their number for years. How do thais get their number? I'm looking for a definite, I will know up front, way to get very long lasting number, for banking and other reasons.

Looking for furnished unit, 20k baht. Any part of pattaya. I only walk or baht bus, occasionally moto taxi. I'm a USA citizen if thats of any relevance. 35 sqm at least. I don't want to live in a shoebox for 3 months. Maybe give some rental agents locations recommendations? It's been awhile since I've been to pattaya. Thanks

I saw that video too. I certainly will ask about it before or if I contemplate buying one

I do not need a simply as soon as I land. What i want is a simply that has many years validity

How and where do I buy normal Sim. And with which carrier

Is it valid for many years? The ability to keep the number a long time is what I want

I will be in country starting December 2. I won't be shopping online. I would like to buy sim and plan right at bkk airport. I can wait until I get down to o Pattaya if there is better buying choices there.. be it tuk com or any other recommendation. Thanks

I want a thai sim card and plan that allows me to keep the phone number for years. I know some can be topped up now and then to keep them valid and working, but some seem to have limit such as good for one year, etc. I am guessing some are designed for tourists while others are for more long term. I read that so e dtac plans may last literally as long as you keep topping it up? I'm just trying to get a Thailand number and keep it long time. Dtac, true,ais, et ?

I don't hold the underlying asset because that would require using an exchange, wallet etc.which i do not want to do. Just my choice

MY friend researches and follows all the crypto things. Holds several types of. Crypto, is heavily invested in it and has done very well. He loves xrp, has gone to Las Vegas and met those people, believes in their ledger, et . I bought xrpc this morning as the etf was well below its initial offering price. Did well for this first day. Might take a quick profit on some of it, and hold for what some believe will be a huge rise. I hold it in my traditional and Roth iras

Add elderly

I arrive December 2 on a non imm o 90 day retirement visa. I have read something along the lines that for some visas, if you depart before the original visa expires, which in this case is 90 days and get a reentry permit, one can re-enter later on the same visa and it would be valid for in this case another 90 days. Is that true? If it is true, how much later can one re-enter? Are there any strings attached or anything illegal doing that? Thanks.

Thank you

As others have said usa and others must transfer monies monthly. On a related note, when applying for my non imm o visa on the thaievisa website, it asked for proof of income. I attached my social security benefits letter and my last three bank statements on which I underlined those deposits into my account . They accepted those at face value.

I agree. You are completely clueless about what I wrote.

You insult or attack just about every poster. You need to stop that. I was saying that you probably are not comparing the best in Pattaya. The good ones I have used in Pattaya are very close to the good ones at the airport. I was NOT making any comparisons of the photos in this thread which I think you were assuming I was.

I use the Etrade app now and then. It also does not allow my phone to take screen shots. Seems odd that an app can prevent a phone intrinsic function from working.

Nope. Maybe you go to the wrong booths in Pattaya.
