Reported online today to Jomtien immigration and was approved after an hour.

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

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.

Who asked and who cares? The topic is about: Using cardless cash withdrawals at the ATM with a smartphone app.

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.

He already confessed.

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.

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.

Nothing. When you return, your 90 days for reporting will start fresh.

Not your choice when you're out in public. Best is to just ignore it and move as causing a scene about it will guarantee that you will be featured.

Agreed, 0% chance this actually happened. If OP needs to pass the time with made up fantasies of being in Pattaya, I am sure there are better ways to make use of his time.

Pretty sure when being refused entry upon arrival by air, you need to return back to your point of origin at the airline's cost if it was due to something they missed/didn't check for (like a proper visa). When being deported for other reasons, you must return to the country of the passport you entered with. You don't get to pick and choose where to go.

Tourist boom or tourist boom boom?

They wouldn't have caught him but he went the Wang Wei.

Is it that surprising when the victim and their family is wealthy and a 3 million baht reward offered to garner publicity?

It's 100% the same guy. If you think otherwise, you're delusional. The story is from 2018. Same name just missing one of his middle names. Hans Peter Walter Mack and Hans Peter Mack. 56 in story from 2018 and 62 now which adds up the age. Build, hair looks like him. 41 year old Thai woman was procuring young girls for him, not his wife who is now 24 and he married at 19.

Nice find,

"However, she knows fish do not possess teeth." Many fish do have teeth actually. Some are very human like.

Any hospital doctor should prescribe you some if you tell them your ailments and you only need that few a week.

Still having issues with Bangkok Bank app.

A few people in this thread have mentioned something like this. There is something called shock that people go into during traumatic injuries.

From another source "An informed source, however, said that the escalator collapsed as the victim was standing on it and one of her legs sustained deep lacerations."

It's specifically for mobile phone transfers of more than 50k per transaction as of now.... No limits on deposits.

Bangkok Bank's mobile app had a new update that added a verification status menu and after selecting it, it says to bring my passport and passbook to any Bangkok Bank branch.

Same here. Obviously it's much more convenient to just get the visa sticker upon arrival at BKK but it's not much of a hassle to get it done at CW either if you're staying in Bangkok or nearby.
