Check out Freedom Card. There are no fees whatsoever. With the basic tier card you get 0.3% cashback in crypto. You have the option to stake $Freedom tokens for interest and higher rates of cashback. For example if you stake 10000 bath for a year you will get 1% interest + 1% cashback in crypto. You will have to register on the Thai crypto exchange Bitazza + on the Freedom card website for this. No issues with a yellow book.

Totally with you. Hate when people adding ice/topping up my beer without asking.

I am a dual citizen and once the Io showed me her computer screen after biometrics scan asking me if I am a dual citizen. Both of my passport photos and data came up on her screen. Unlikely that they will let you in

I highly doubt that they let you do that these days. Both Cambodian and Thai immigration now require fingerprints and photos upon crossing the border.

AliExpress. The championship might be over by the time it arrives from China.

You just die when the time comes. Cheap.

Thailand is not what you think is. You get stopped occasionally and asked to produce a valid driving licence. If you haven't got one you'll have a problem like in any civilised country.

Clearly the government hasn't delivered on the election promises so now have to spice things up with a good old nationalist crap just like in Russia, Hungary, Cambodia, China or North Korea.

Yeah been banned from that group years ago. An absolute brain-dead bunch.

For the one year multiple entry. The money doesn't need to be seasoned. At least that's what I heard.

Have your photos saved on your phone or a usb stick and print your black and white photos. In case the Io doesn't accept the black and white you can still go to a nearby print shop quickly.

Thanks for that. I was in need of a farang friendly Thai exchange and stumbled upon your post. Kyc was approved in a day. App looks good, a bit low volume but ok to cash out. The credit card is a bonus.

I'm pretty happy with Roojai. App has English version. They also have English customer service over the phone. Price fairly cheap with options to reduce it further. Had one claim so far. They paid, no issues.

Not really. Just always remember that life is not a clock but an hourglass and you never been this old....so try to get <deleted> done before time is up.

It is probably the most expensive car park in Isaan though. They charge nearly a Thai daily minimum wage for a day's parking.. That was my point but of course not expensive for most farangs. They are running a very lucrative racket there. Understand now?

It is expensive indeed. At some other crossings you pay half of that for overnight parking. Also a hotel room in Savanakhet costs less than that ????

I have been there by car a few times. Very expensive car park but never had an issue. There are usually a few ladies at the car park full time because you pay on leaving so they won't want to miss the hefty parking fees.

Just ask the questions and the lovely people will help. Nobody wants to read an essay from a random person.

Oh, ok. Didn't know that.

Why not do the 1 year multiple entry non o? It is available at Savanakhet for 5000thb.

I always wonder why are these suspects posing with the cops for the photos. If it was me I would refuse unless threatened by violence....are they forced to do so in Thailand? Anyone knows here?

None will give a toss or know in Thailand. Ignore those who say otherwise. On the other hand the shipping fees and times are insanely high and whatever you are trying to sell will be offered at half the price on eBay, Amazon,etc

There is no rule that you can't re-enter Thailand on the same day. It is a Cambodian rule that you can't leave the country on the day of arrival unless you are in a tour group. They try to confuse you by blaming the Thais knowing that you can't ask them on the other side of the border. All they want is 300 bahts and they will let you back. It can be overwhelming with all those conmen around though... At other border crossings (Chong Chom for example) they are more upfront and the Cambodian guards will ask you straight away if you want to return to Thailand same day and will charge you accordingly.

Thais will let you back in on the same day. To my knowledge Cambodia has a rule that if you are a solo traveller (not in a tour group) you must stay at least a night in Cambodia. The Cambodian border guards usually charge 300 Bahts to 'exempt' you from this rule.
