So why does he not put the meagre 800k in the bank, at low interest but at least SOME.
How do you know that he doesn't? Many people who use agents have more than enough in the bank to do their own extensions if they had the inclination.
Yes it's called corruption.
Do you know what holier-then-though means?! Have you ever taken advantage of the "advantageous systems" in Thailand in any way at all, however small and in whatever sector...ever?
Not everyone is as fit, 'young', patient and lacking in physical discomfort as you may be. Neither is everyone as desperate to find saving about B50 per day worth the hassle!
Didn't you see that I deleted that post one minute after I realised my error?! You must have been sitting on it for 45 minutes before posting your admonishment!
My point...................lol just for you repeated............
Your point only makes sense if you think that $16,000 is more than $20,000. I don't think that it is, but I'm happy for you to explain it to me if I've got it wrong.
Wow, over half a million baht, are we sure she's a tourist.............lol.
You can only bring in $20,000 without declaration
$16,000 is a lot less than $20,000 so what's your point?
Are you a putin apologist ?
Even if I were (but it'd be none of your business anyway) what would that have to do with anything? What makes you ask whether I am...anything rational?
Why are you getting so aeriated about it, how does it affect you?
Many visitors to Thailand or other SE Asian countries will arrive with USD, nothing at all unusual about that.
(Perhaps they did have most of their cash in THB and the cash in the safes were just a little bit extra in case they ran short!)
So what if that recommendation isn't being followed? Did you not notice that at least one of them was happy to pose for photos that would identify him?
