I've done it before so I don't see any reason why you can't have a single re-entry followed by a further single if required.

i.e. like myself, paid in advance. Sensible. You then have control of you pension weekly and transfer to a Thai bank account when the exchange rate is favourable.

It turns out the story of an Indian tourist colliding into a jet ski and running away was incorrect and fabricated and the owner of the jet ski, which was unlicensed, that was involved in a fatal accident that took two lives is being charged. #Pattaya https://thepattayanews.com/2023/04/26/update-only-one-jet-ski-involved-in-fatality-of-8-year-old-kid-and-jet-ski-rider-in-pattaya/

But the questions remains, how will the fee be collected? According to the Tourism and Sports Minister, Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn, the starting date of the Thailand Tourism Fee (TTF) has been postponed from June to 1 September 2023 to ensure that the TTF system will operate smoothly, https://twitter.com/prdthailand/status/1651110521628946437

Correct. You get an 8 digit account number and a sort code.

It must be that time already. The Supreme Administrative Court orders National Anti-Corruption Commission to reveal its findings of their investigation into the undeclared luxury watches of Dep-PM Prawit Wongsuwan, leader and top candidate of the ruling @PPRPofficial. The NACC cleared him in 2018. https://twitter.com/SaksithCNA/status/1649306782781837313

I understood links to Bangkok Post were not allowed in this forum? Reading the full report, it directs you to the source namely the B.P.

Referring to report from the B.P. Link not provided. Richard Barrow: No surprises here. Airlines have come back to tell the Minister of Tourism that they won’t add an additional fee for certain groups of passengers. The mishandling of this unpopular tourist tax has done much to damage #Thailand’s reputation abroad. And it hasn’t even started.

A simple search will tell you that US passport holders do not need a visa to enter the Netherlands.

A full blood test you would pay no more B700.

I remember reading a report very similar to this about 23 yrs ago. Nothing will ever change regardless of whatever government rules Thailand.

Correct, and Wise Ltd is accepted as one of those UK based accounts.

Perhaps someone can enlighten me as to why many members here are paid their state pension either 4 or 13 weeks in arrears. For the past 18 months or so, I requested and this was approved by state pension, to pay me weekly using Wise Ltd, i.e. payments in advance rather than 4 weekly payments in arrears. Every 4/5 weeks I transfer to a Thai bank. Admittedly, there is always 3 or more weeks payments on hold in Wise. Pros: Payments in advance - wait for a decent exchange rate. Cons: 3 or more weeks payments tied up in Wise.

Exactly. Another useless report.

Another useless report which wont go any further.
