Does it say in the Airbnb, what rate they will charge you for electric? It seems like for 8085 units, they are charging you 7 baht per unit instead of 4.5-5. For a one bedroom condo/apartment, that usage does not seem possible even if you ran one or two ACs 24/7 the whole 4 and a half months, unless maybe you were doing it with all the windows open. It's possible this AirBNB owner just sends the same before and after photos to all long term tenants, if you didn't check and verify the meter in person, yourself.

You make a monthly payment to a mahout.

Sounds great to me. At least they aren't bothering anyone.

Thailand has no borders with China.

He was the dumbest before he left too.

I agree but doubtful any would accept him or actually pay out at his age and with what they'll say is a pre-existing condition anyway.

I can walk in to any K-bank today with just my passport and Elite Visa and open an account. It's one of the few decent perks they offer for their overpriced visa.

Wait it out, it will most likely be taken back eventually, let the bank handle it. Like you said, you might not have even noticed. It's only illegal if you spend it all and/or refuse to return it when the bank orders you to.

Same here.

The same way he knew the Thai woman with him was his wife was his wife.

A suspended sentence means as long as they don't break the law again during that year, it's considered served. But yes, surely they'll be long gone either way.

I guess you are sending to a Kasikorn bank account. For me and other users who have commented here, anything over $1000 to Bangkok Bangkok, takes 24-48 hours.

Yes it's possible that if he had Kasikorn, it would be instant.

Anything over 1000 USD has never been instant for me to Bangkok Bank, next day usually as the other user said. If your friend needs more instantly, they can send it in multiple transfers of 1000 or equivalent and the fees are only a few dollars more that way.

Instant as long as I don't send over $1000 USD.
