  1. Bring whatever the member contact center tells you and confirm with them again everything you need to bring if you want to be 100% sure. The Thai Elite concierge will take you to a desk that specifically handles Thai Elite matters so shouldn't take too long if everything is in order.
  2. No fine for one day but they will still stamp or write that you overstayed.
  3. Guessing you weren't already in the airport and passed immigration when you found out your flight was delayed, in which case, you obviously wouldn't get an overstay stamp. If you really want to avoid the stamp like you said, you can go to immigration and get an emergency extension of a max of 7 days for 1900 baht. They will probably ask to see your cancelled flight details etc..
  4. As long as he isn't forcing himself on them, to each their own. If he is tight with drinks and tipping, he'll probably eventually run out of bars and ladies who will allow him to do it, depending on how long he is in Thailand for. Not someone I would want to hang around with though, that's for sure.
  5. They usually do "crackdowns" when there are allegations of some kind of corruption brought to light so they can save face but there will always be agents who still benefit even during them or shortly after things die down. I'd be surprised if there are many countries in the world where you can't stay endlessly somehow if you have enough money.
  6. It's the only completely legal option for people under 50 to stay here long term without any hassle. Worth every baht I spent on it.
  7. There is a Bangkok Bank at the main terminal. https://suvarnabhumi.airportthai.co.th/service/facility/detail/78/21 I've never heard of any debit cards in Thailand that don't work in any Thai ATM though, especially if it has the Visa/Plus logo on it somewhere.
  8. Lots of bars and restaurants by the beach. Very few foreigners from what I've seen. Plenty of youtube videos that can give you an idea of how things are on the ground there.
  9. An old thread but I doubt that much has changed. Seems like the consensus is that you forfeit your deposit and that you should also check your lease agreement for any clauses regarding early termination.
  10. Definitely will not get back your deposit in that case. In order to sue you for the remaining 10 months, the burden would be on them to prove that they were not able to and didn't rent it out again to someone else after you left.
  11. I don't see any bar in Pattaya letting 3 people share one Heineken. Story so stereotypical, sounds fake. And I say that not being a fan at all of the majority of Indian tourists I've ran into. The same with the majority of Russian and Chinese.
  12. There are no Tuk Tuks in Pattaya.
  13. Did any of you incels seemingly defending his actions even watch the video? You don't keep cutting someone off with your motorcycle to ask them out and then continue pestering them after they are clearly not interested in you and said they have a boyfriend.
  14. 10% in a restaurant if I haven't already been charged a service charge. Bolt just give 100 for shortish trips. Massage 100 per hour. Maids 100 per day. Worked out for me for the past few years and most seem appreciative/happy with it.
  15. My TGF does. It's a set price which is usually cheaper and you don't have to ask the price or negotiate if they give you a crazy high price. Plus they come right to wherever you are at.
  16. Until earlier this year, it was extremely difficult to get a playstation 5 unless you paid an exorbitant amount to a scalper. Anytime they went on sale, the stock was gone in minutes. It's easy now but I'd be surprised if you could find many second hand ones at the moment due to that.
  17. Reported online today to Jomtien immigration and was approved after an hour.
  18. Wise will automatically convert your USD to THB when transferring to a Thai bank. They will show you the complete breakdown of fees and exchange rate before you accept. I'm not sure if the 50k limit still applies for SWIFT using Wise, their website isn't clear about it. https://wise.com/help/articles/2932335/guide-to-thb-transfers
  19. I'm aware of that very necessary button on this forum but appreciate the tip and also that you're at least self aware enough to realize the correct action to your off topic, unhelpful and inane comments in this thread. Although I honestly shouldn't expect any less from someone who self admittedly rarely spends their 500 baht daily budget and needs something to do to pass the days until they expire.
  20. Who asked and who cares? The topic is about: Using cardless cash withdrawals at the ATM with a smartphone app.
  21. Yes TM30 is a requirement, especially when doing extensions. Hotels do it when you check in and condo landlords/managers are supposed to do it within 24 hours of you checking in as well. You and the landlord can be fined if you show up to immigration and one hasn't been done. Probably got lucky in Koh Samui and got a IO that didn't care or didn't check if one was done.
  22. You are flying in and out with multiple month gaps in between most visits. Nobody can give you a 100% guarantee but I doubt you will have any problem flying in again to get another visa exempt. At worst, they might question why you are spending so much time in Thailand but they are unlikely to think you are illegally working due to the month long gaps between previous visits. Entry by land border is limited to 2 a year but there is no "set" limit for entries by air. That's at the immigration officer's discretion.
  23. The exact amount is but i did receive an official email from Thai Elite today that the last day to upgrade is the 15th of this month and there will be a switch to "new" packages later on this year.
