  1. I use PayPal in Thailand and the US but not in Vietnam. You should be able to do what you plan to do, but it's slow (PayPal withdrawals to banks in Thailand take 3+ business days) and expensive - fund PayPal in VND, cash out in THB, converted at less than favorable exchange rates plus fees.

    TBH I would try to avoid buying your son a smartphone as long as possible.  I have 2 sons, 16 & 13 & android phones are addictive & kill off family life.

     

    Not really different from having a "home computer" when I was that age. Instead of not letting me buy one, my parents told me that I couldn't use it for more than two hours a day. I still think that's the better approach - teach children how to use their gadgets responsibly and make sure they get enough exercise. Being smart phone and computer savvy is great, being a couch potato isn't!

    I'm not sure why so many struggle with the concept of having to swear and prove that they are unable to depart the kingdom per the document's key wording.

    You seem to struggle with reading that form. There are several check boxes, and any applicant is obviously well-advised to tick only those that apply to their particular situation.

    Thank you.

     

    Yes thank you, I understand they're not the same, I actually had to sign the affidavit when doing my wife extension in September, which made it more confusing now. I'm wondering whether I could extend my wife's 60 day as I was told can only do this once espevially as I heard issues with embassy letters. Then I saw this note, all visas apply from 1st November on immigration website so I couldn't tell.

    I might go in today and try to turn one of the battle-axes..

    As they have explicitly told you to return today, you'd be well advised to do just that.

    I don't live in Bangkok so the answer is no... try the Bangkok forum.

    No offense, but the OP's question was specifically about venues in Bangkok. Nightlife is pretty much open and busy nowadays, so your statement came as a surprise to me.
