30-day Extension to Visa Exempt Entry❓
Skeptic7 replied to Skeptic7's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Yeah, right on...no consistency. Korat Immigration. Wife has a house there. Only needs the additional 30 days, as they're staying just under 60 days. -
30-day Extension to Visa Exempt Entry❓
Skeptic7 replied to Skeptic7's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Great. Thanks kindly for the info. Does the extension need to be applied for in the last week of his initial 30 days? -
A friend from the USA is returning to Thailand after 3 years, with his Thai wife. He plans to enter Visa Exempt and is wondering if he can then extend for another 30 days❓I said I think so...but would ask. So is this possible on a visa exempt without leaving the country❓If so, what is the procedure❓

Thailand claims to have the most fenceposts up it's ass, but like nearly everything else this country say...is a deception, sham, scam or outright lie. -

May be "Dreamy" in 1st or Biz Class, but it's the same as all the others in economy. Packed TIGHT with no leg room if over 170cm. If full, it's as uncomfy as all the others.

😱 Ground Control to Major SNAFU❗🤣 -
Yep had the exact same thing within the past month. Always something new and intrusive, but what can ya do❓ However, things at Wise are so inconsistent now. My last transfer of $3725 from my US bank 2 weeks ago arrived same day in about 6 hours. Fastest ever. This past week, initiated a transfer of $4200 from the same bank on 2 April, but they claimed the money would take longer than expected for them to receive it...up to a week❗So checked my bank and Wise had withdrawn the funds on...April 2nd. WTF❓So I cancelled and got the refund today. Then initiated another transfer on 3 April for the same amount. Same thing. Says the money will take longer than expected. They say 9 April. And of course the rate at the time was much higher than it is currently. Ridiculous.

The Gold enigma.
Skeptic7 replied to swissie's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
I hear ya...but been waiting since 1980. 🤣 Did sell some then. But bought a lot more for years after that, dirt cheap. Should have sold in 2011. Don't need the cash, just want to off-load it. Clearing out the clutter. -
Selling US Gold Coins
Skeptic7 replied to Skeptic7's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
The name was in Thai and I didn't take a picture of it. As you exit the front of Tukcom at South Pattaya Rd, go left past Starbucks. The first gold shop you'll see, just across the little soi, is called Proud. They may buy there...but we continued on a bit further and the next gold shop on the left is where I sold. Small Mom & Pop shop with husband and wife tending the store. Hope this helps -

I didn't have much, but sold my gold coins for THB yesterday. Didn't need the money, but figured I'd dump it at a high price. Gonna offload my silver coins too soon, if can find a pawn shop or individual to buy it. -

Thanks for all replies. A gold shop very near Tukcom Pattaya bought the coins. Not quite spot, but close enough for me. -

Melt value is all I'm looking for. Zero plans on returning to The States anytime soon...or ever. Currently the melt value based on this chart is USD$540...USD$1081...USD$2162. -
Went to 3 gold shops yesterday in Pattaya, the ones in most Lotus and Big C...Aurora, Bangkok(something) and another one. All said they do not buy US gold coins. Anyone know of a shop in Pattaya (or even BKK) that will purchase these coins❓They are a 1911 Indian Head $5 (Half Eagle), a 1911 Indian Head $10 (Eagle) and a 1908 Saint-Gaudens $20 (Double Eagle). All are 90%.
