  1. Can a married person enter on 30-day visa exempt, then apply for 30-day extension...and then apply for 60-day extension? Thus getting 120 days?
  2. So? Just quit now. Buh-bye.????
  3. Really like and recommend Udon Thani alot. If you haven't been there, give it a go. Spent time in Korat last year. It was OK but surely much better now that it's opened up.
  4. Glad it worked out and that they did the right thing, for a change. Also, concur 100% that had you gone solo, they would have turned you away without the extension.
  5. Haven't used Wise in almost year. If US citizen, use MoneyGram. If not in any rush, that is. They are SLOW. Takes a full 5 business days, but net rate is better than Wise (if diligent) and transfers here always show as international transfer. They also have a limited number of recognized US banks, but lucky one of mine was on the list.
  6. ... trousers down and clearly "up" to no good... What a freakin' (freak &) <deleted>! ????
  7. Yes, if you choose the option...Funds For Long Term Stay in Thailand.
  8. This is over the top nit-picking BS from CW. In the numerous years I had to deal with them...always found the entire experience dreadful. Baditude, ignorance, resentment and disdain in abundance. As for Bangkok Bank, they need to seriously update their IT. A 12-month or even longer statement should be printed out in a matter of minutes at any branch. Their networking is horrendous. I have banked there for 22 years and overall mostly satisfied. But when it comes to something as simple as a 12-month statement, they are so far behind. There are other shortcomings, but will leave those for another thread. I hope you get it sorted out, but am highly doubtful that the email print out will suffice. Hoping it does and if so, will be pleasantly surprised...but not at all optimistic. Keep us posted.
  9. Some tourism's back. Time to start recycling these tired old fake stories. Sad attempt to polish some of the tarnish.
  10. Not in Patts & Jom. 555
  11. Should be optional for the religious, NOT imposed on businesses and customers whom don't subscribe to such subjective and silly nonsense. Ridiculous stuff, religion. ????
  12. For the former type of rental "sa-moke" is a prerequisite!
  13. Going in 2 weeks. Hope my rental isn't a smoker!????
  14. Another blatantly greedy and idiotic ripoff scheme by a bunch of greedy, xenophobic idiots.
  15. Nope. I've used Agoda & Booking often and for years. I always book rooms which have the free cancelation option. Have cancelled numerous times without any problems.
  16. Yes. They are slow. Usually 5 business days, but never taken more than 6 business days in my experience. Wise is FAST. Same day sometimes or 2-3 days max. MG rates have always been same or better than Wise and lower fee, but must check often as they are slow to update rates up and down. Limit is $10,000 but believe can do 2 per day. Not perfect but suits my needs and best value at .99 cents per transaction.
  17. If you have a US bank account that MoneyGram accepts, MoneyGram is best. Better than Wise for Americans. Bank account ACH transfer is only a .99 cent fee (was FREE previously) with MG and their exchange rates are excellent. Sometimes can get better than market rate, as they are slow to update their rates. Otherwise, Wise is the next best option. Of course this depends on myriad circumstances such as the amount and frequency of transfers. But definitely check out MoneyGram. I used Wise (TransferWise) for years before stumbling on MG last year. Haven't used Wise since. I have 3 US bank accounts and only 1 of them was in the MG system, but definitely worth a look for us Americanos. ????
  18. It wasn't murder, but I get your meaning and agree. He should have been jailed a LONG time ago. Money talks and life isn't fair.
  19. Good to be in the former and not the latter!
  20. Yes...always take the THB option. Your CC bank will give you a better rate and you'll save yourself some money over choosing USD
  21. The blatant greed and utter stupidity of this "cuntry" is staggering. Amusing Thailand.
