Yes I understand that. I am looking for other agent recommendations as I have said multiple times

I am looking for alternatives, nothing against them. As I mentioned before I saw one called SS Visa consultant and a few others. In the end I may end up using THAI VISA CENTER but checking options especially in Bangkok

Yes of course but finding people who used an agent through reference is best as I mentioned I saw a few that I hadn’t heard before. Getting out of the country brings the insurance requirements into consideration. I will get my own insurance but don’t want tired to a specific plan. I saw a few on google search as well. I just wanted to make sure I find a legitimate agent as I found one through an IG sponsored add. ThaivisaCenter also uses META sponsored adds but they have lots of references.

Yes I have checked around some Agents in Pattaya and ThaiVisaCenter. Wanted to get more specific to Bangkok since I will be based there and some new agents have come to my attention

I Wii be soon, and yes I have Thai bank accounts

I know Pattaya has many but curious about Bangkok I ran into one called “SS Thai Visa Counsultant “ I am curious if anyone used and are they legit. I don’t see much online about them I know about Thai Visa center. Looking for Non O to do 15 month visa from scratch. thanks

I just tested it, worked great, but not the best exchange rate. Similar to what you get inside Thailand at currency exchanges. So far it’s seems like the best option

Most likely Bangkok but it’s not written in stone yet

I was concerned about the border conflict and the banking issues. I will between visas so trying to avoid any direct contact with the bank until I have my non O again at least. Wasn’t sure if transfer]s from Cambodia where getting red flagged or not

Ok, this is good to know Have you very recently? The last few weeks or so?

I will in Thailand.

typically you are right but this is coming from Cambodia

I was worried because of the border conflict with Cambodia and I will be in process of getting another longterm visa after my last one expired a year ago. I have been out of the country. A frozen account would complicate things since I would be in between visas.

wanted to ask about this but not sure what forum. I didn’t see the banking forum. I want to transfer money from my own ABA account in Cambodia to my own K bank account in Thailand. I worry about my account in Thailand getting frozen because of the recent issues. Has anyone made transfers recently. Thanks

I was just told by AXA that you must live in Thailand 6 months before they issued you a policy. I wasn’t told this before. I was just told have a long term visa

I am American but traveling from neighboring country. I am not currently in the United States

What is a good travel insurance to have for a trip to Thailand that will payout if needed?

Thanks again it’s boring here so I need my get aways Probably will end up back in Thailand again I actually like it here but it’s boring and haven’t developed a social clique

Ok thank you. Not much choice on the border if I want to travel to Bangkok unfortunately…. Flying might be better but frankly tickets are over priced and I am more than an hour from an airport.

I just spent 45 days in Thailand, I have been out about 10 days. I want to return for a few days again by crossing the land border again. I worry this will use up my 2nd border entry but it seems I remember reading this isn’t enforced anymore so I want to confirm. I am living in neighboring country and have a one year visa for that country so not doing visa runs out of Thailand. The border would be PoiPet thank you for any updates .

Thank you for the report. My friend is in the exact same category as you having a 1 year retirement visa in Cambodia and had the same for Thailand

Great. That border crossing is known to be more relaxed than the mess at Poi Pet thanks for the report

Yes, they have an app. It’s great. I have used it several times to book tickets. It’s directly from the SRT, not a third party app. Sorry I don’t recall the name of the app. My phone is charging

Great. This is a great option with the train. Thanks for the idea. Can show the ticket on the train app as well. Brilliant idea.

1 hr drive to airport, arriving 2 hrs before international flight, so 3 hrs, then 1 hr flight 4 hrs. 1 hr in Bangkok to get bags and clear immigration 5 hrs another 1hr into town 6 hrs. If he takes a bus 7 or 8 hrs. including border crossing time. Airlines can not change tickets and must pay for bags total cost 8k or more. VIP bus is cheap and can buy last minute. Anyway I am not here to argue about it, I just was looking for information about border crossing and if an onward ticket from Thailand is required to enter
