Best option for a tourist?
Sticky Rice Balls replied to PhineusFreek's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Ive been coming to thai yearly since 2008 never with a visa and always one way 30 days free upon landing in bkk---shoot up to CNX and get extension--1900 bt another 30 days take bus to burma border and jump back--another free 30--extend again 1900bt=30 more days(4 mo) also could go to laos and get thai visa and extend that----luckily i got my covid extension last week(60) usually stay 4-5 months then go home to work------been working for me over a decade now-- (USA) burma border jumps are 2 allowed a year---but this way before covid blew the world up but the covid extensions are 1900 for 60 days and saves me the 11 hr bus trip RT to burma-mae sai -
I flew from DC to denver to LAX--on my bday!...to escape toxic USA......i went to a patient first type of shop and asked them for info and time tables before getting it----anyhoo singapore air in lax sweated me hard!! He argued it got it on 14th---the paper said the result came on the 15th---lax on 17th So he takes a pic of my paper and sends it to "someone" in bkk via Line app...who that was I have no idea....He says if bkk allows it--u can board......!!!

to be charged double and be "cheated" one must give their money to the "scammer"... I live in local area and am aware of the local price--always ask price first if not listed before buying goods or services...i often watch a thai in front of me to see what they pay if unsure... Shop around--I rarely go to spot that would double charge--vote with your money and choices A fun experiment I did one day was go to every pharmacy I found to ask about Viagra--555 Was amazing the prices i got--from 500 to 180 all for the exact same product....i got the 180 box! Always good to have a thai friend too...and speak minimal thai.....I own my own motorcycle and pay 3500 for my studio--same as thais in my building as im the only farang--also got stared at tonight as i sat with locals outside eating my food at mae hia market---I rarely run into farangs Im moving to a new studio next month and suspect my apt manager is skimming a bit--cases of water used to be 40--now 60..small stuff..if he tries anything with my security deposit I have already planned to go right to the owner..whom I got his contact info long ago----always cover your a$$ in LOS.....Im always polite and smile with the apt manager.....but always document our exchanges.....
