Thx for the info all,

if I have to fly home anyways I may try to apply for the new 6 months multiple entry visa if they're available

500k upfront is a a fair bit tbh but I can see the value of it adds up when you factor in unnecessary flights/costs every 60 days and the stress factor over 5yrs

I am only 6 days overstayed on a 4 week visa exemption stay but I've had a lot of tourism visas in the past so I might not get back in easily

Could I extend this for 1900thb and then apply?

I would rather not leave bkk if its possible

Would this be acceptable to pay in bkk ? (like 500k elite + 20k fine be accepted without any fuss)

Or would it be necessary to pay the 20k fine at airport and go out and come back in and then apply for it?

a lot of farang only eat western food to get even fatter so they won't understand. i love street food and opt for it over farang food everyday. Some street vendors in certain locations pay off the police (I've witnessed it) so i can't see them being moved off.

Police can be moved to inactive posts... I've witnessed it especially thesedays when things that have lasted years and seemed "untouchable" are suddenly targets to be removed .... So I wouldn't be so sure about anything anymore

ALL street vendors pay. Don't pay and a green truck shows up and the thugs take all your stuff, pronto.

The greedy police and BMA will let you push your baby carriage in traffic.

Of course they all pay tea money per sqm to trade on public walkways, that's been obvious for years

Until the army or someone else hi up decides to move them they will remain

But tea money or not, there's always a bigger fish,there was a few thriving unlicensed markets I remember in recent years that are gone now

Lower sukhumvit barely has anyone selling anything thesedays and it used to be chaos during the day just trying to walk past...
