Train:).

Only a couple fast trains per day and aircon cars almost always sold out a day or two ahead, so not that convenient.  I also find their website very clunky trying to buy tickets online.

Hi there, would like to find out if anyone out there is splitting their time (50/50 or there abouts) between Thailand and their home country, or have any good advice.

 

I am contemplating doing this and if there are people out there doing that, what Visa do you enter Thailand on? I am currently here on a OA visa.

 

Any info would be greatly appreciated, Phil

I started doing this last year. The visa thing was a bigger hassle than I expected so I was seriously thinking of going somewhere else this year. The new 5 year DTV lets me stay for 180 days without having to worry about travel dates and questions from immigration officers and dealing with more paperwork and bureaucracy, so it should be much easier now with that option.

Get a Xiaomi phone in particular Xiaomi Redmi Note, I'd go for the 13 5G. I have a 9 and a 12, very popular phones

I think that is going to be out of his price range by quite a bit.

Your posts above are full of snarky generic comments and opinions, with rarely anything of any substance or credibility to back them up.

 

That's what happens when pretty much the entire political world is saying your candidate was the clear loser.

 

For clear evidence, see the numerous media report cited and sourced above on this page and earlier in this thread.

 

I wouldn't waste my time replying to that account.  Life is too short to not add them to your ignore list.

Clearly Harris teed Trump up to fail in this debate and he did spectacularly fail. Actually embarrassed himself on severl occasions. That won't change any MAGA minds. There are about 200,000 undecided voters in several crucial states, those are the only votes that matter now. She may have put North Carolina back in play as well, especially with a very tainted Republicn candidate running for Governor and down 10% at this stage. So, Dems and Reps can piss into the wind all they want but its those 200,000 (+/-) undecided voters who will elect the next President. Score one for Harris but this thing is tight. 

So just like any other time the convicted felon and compulsive liar he opens his pie hole.

In case you didn't already know.  The insecure convicted felon wears heels and a girdle.

Tim Pool, Benny Johnson, Lauren Southern, Tayler Hansen, Matt Christiansen and Dave Rubin. I wonder how many of our resident MAGA faithfuls are listening to these guys and getting their "information" from them.

Those are just a few of them.  There are reportedly 2800 influencers involved.

It will be interesting to see how this progresses. They may issue a lot of these visas. Will they either

 

a) stop issuing them

b) reduce the 5-year validity to say 1 year

c) make them harder to get

d) make them more expensive

e) have Immigration make entry difficult.

 

I just can't see it going on for a long time.

I think they are going to be making it harder for people trying to do border bounces and entering multiple times in one year on waivers.  Sounds like they want people who do that to pay for some sort of visa instead.

MAGA world must be going into withdrawal without Daddy Putin telling them what to think.

Hey, Trumpers, are you not getting as many talking points now that Tenet has been exposed?

Things have certainly quieted down in MAGA world.  On all the major media platforms.  Everyone says so.  All the best people.  Ask anyone

Apparently there are at least 2800 of these traitors being paid by Russia.  1/5th are in the US.  Can't wait to see that list once it is unsealed.  Also apparently lots of AI-generated fake news.

The affidavit references one document maintained by the Social Design Agency, which is not included in the unsealed court documents, that contains a list of more than 2,800 people identified as influencers. While this list is global, US-based influencers account for around 20 percent of the accounts being monitored, including many US lawmakers, according to an analysis of the list by the FBI.

The Doppelganger campaign uses AI-generated content on dozens of fake websites designed to impersonate mainstream media outlets such as The Washington Post and Fox Business, using a network of fake social media accounts to disseminate pro-Russian narratives targeting audiences across the globe. Doppelganger is a Kremlin-aligned disinformation campaign that was first linked to the Kremlin in 2023 by the French government.

Is the DTC cost meant to be only 10k baht, which is approximately AUD$440?

 

The Thai Embassy in Australia is charging AUD$600 which is approximately 13,600 baht: https://canberra.thaiembassy.org/destination-thailand-visa-dtv/

Canada charges $650 CAD which is over 16,000 baht, so you are getting a better deal than I am.  I was paying $325 CAD for a 60-day multi-entry tourist visa every year so it's still a way better deal than that.
