For whatever reason, some people like to present rumors as facts, which in turn makes people who have nothing to worry about anxious. I feel for the guy who went on vacation twice for a few weeks last year and is now asking on fb groups whether he should worry about his entry.

Sorry i havent been through all the post in this topic, but does the 60 day exempt also applies to land borders?

First of all im no expert, but im a big fan of Guinness. For my taste, Viva Cafe at suk soi 8 is always good.

Its kind of a long story (i started a topic about it a while ago), but i suffered severe insomnia in 2022 due to anxiety that landed me in the ER several times. I got through it with medications and just educating myself about the topic. I havent taken any medicine about 6 months but i follow quite good sleep hygiene everyday and i sleep about 6-7 hours. I dont even remember the last time i slept 8+ hours, but i just accept it, it is what it is. I feel perfectly fine if the 6 hours sleep is in a row without waking up in the middle. - dont browse phone before you go to bed at least 1 hour before sleep - try to go to bed and wake up same time everyday - bed is only for sleeping, dont lay there randomly - dont eat big meals near bed time - i have limited my alcohol consumption, i feel it has positive impact (when i had insomnia i sometimes abused it to get sleepy, but it only helps falling asleep but the sleep quality is really bad)

Any more recent experiences? Some say if she made the visa on her own, mentioning staying with me is a bad idea. Other say the opposite, who is right? Best bet is to just book hotel for entire stay and have cash ready to show? Thx.

Thank you for the long answer. She already has a visa and made it via VFS on her own, she got her passport back within 48 hours with a visa. She specifically wants to come here as we been talking about it for years, she wants to see the rough weather that you cant see in Thailand, not some beach holiday. Also to meet my family. Staying in a hotel 3-4 days is out of the question as where i live we dont even have hotels and plan to stay in the capital just 1-2 days. How long before arriving can you cancel agoda? I guess can book a real stay which we will do and then a longer stay what can cancel. I seem to get very different info. Some say its easy at the border. Some say can mention me as its a pluss even when she made visa on her own. Now you say she might need to provide a lot details about me on the border if she mentions staying with me? Never heard of immigation asking for bank records etc at the border. Lil confused.

For sure yes, i mean the truth is simple. We been together almost 8 years and i need to stay in EU for some period and she is visiting me for 2 weeks and then goes back.

Ty makes sense yes. I was just asking because she made the Type-C short-term tourist visa on her own without my invite letter. Just asking if she can still tell she is staying with bf.

Yes, bank statements and proof of employement were asked but hotel bookings etc were not asked. Just asking if need to show some kind of proof of funds at the border too. I believe there is an official rule how much euros per day you need to have.

Hi, my So is visiting me and i wonder what are the typical questions asked at the border. Apart from the usual questions, is she asked proof of funds, hotel bookings? I mean she stays with me so no hotel needed, but can she say that at the border when asked? I ask because she made the visa on her own (Type-C short term) and not the "invite letter" way. Thanks!

Well, that escalated quickly ???? I obviously prefer everything to be correct, that why i made this topic.

That is a very fair point! Just keeping a low profile in a non pet condo seems like a good idea reading that. I mean, the worse that can happen is you lose your deposit. Our cat is very chill and quiet too, only thing he likes to destory is curtains ????

Always yes ???? He loves the balcony, but we never let him stay alone there. He is rather afraid of even looking over the edge, but loves to look ongoing traffic from a near expressway.

Yeah, ive done it before. Just sometimes feel shady when need to take him somewhere and hide. Or just carry cat related stuff around condo building, like big bag of toilet stuff, foods etc. Feel want to go legit ????

Tyvm but Sukhumvit too far far from my SOs work. She works near Bang Rak, so prefer around there. I know rama 4 is far from there too, but its sometimes only 10 minutes depends on traffic. Sukhumvit is different story. Anywhere from 20min to 1 hour. Yea i keep an eye on the usual sites, fb groups etc. Just thought will ask from here too.

I been to local friends condo before where the rent was exactly 5k. Brand new 5 story complex, 25m2 simple but clean room with a balcony and AC. It was like 2 stations from BTS Chong Nonsi, but honestly i dont remember which way lol. But its certainly possible to find a decent place in a nice area if you search enough.

Hi, as the title says im looking for a cat friendly apt/condo in the Silom, Sathorn, Rama 3 or the surrounding area. Prefer the budget be max 20k/mo+utilities. Can recommend both long term condos and short term (monthly deals) serviced apartments. Thank you!

I always take video and pictures when first time moving in, no matter how trustworthy or not someone is. There was some damages also when i moved to last place, i took pictures of every one of them. Just advice for next time.

I agree yes that a general consensus how a relationship should look like is different than in west. But its not something that bothers me when my partner is a genuine good person.

That might be the case sometimes, but overall id say thats quite a cynical view. Not everyone is out there to "get you" or milk you. I know her almost a decade, she is just a good person who wants to help. I remember i was in a <deleted>ty spot some years ago temporarily. She got lucky with a lottery and won like 4k B, she called being very excited that she can contribute more in tough times. World is not black and white.

I agree. My SO has a lot smaller salary than me, but she always insists on paying for various stuff (taxi, some meals or support electric bill etc) even when i say its not necessary. She just wants to contribute and i appreciate it.

Its not important to me anyway, when im happy with someone im happy, just curious as its not the norm obviously.

Sorry, for guys. I know im in the minority, just meant to ask are there similar out there.

Am i in the minority who have a partner older than he? We met when i was in the late 20s and she was early 30s, roughly 6 years older than me. We have been together almost 8 years and happy.
