My wife's usual phrase when I go to buy plane tickets. And I must admit I was feeling nervous myself on my recent flight on a RyanAir Boeing 737-800 MAX. -

Or, if you're going to diversify and seek new market niches, don't first destroy the market that provides the majority of your tourism and residents: sun, beach, nature, traditions, and affordable prices. -
In case of a medical emergency, I have my health insurance. If you use the 800,000 for that, you'll lose your visa. As for investments, if you know your way around the stock market, you can easily earn much more than the 15,000 you mentioned. In fact, at least 20 times more.

I made a Wise transfer to my Bangkok Bank account last week without any issues. I also used it to pay for my AIS phone bill, and it worked perfectly. You can use the Bangkok Bank app on your phone to check your account status.

It's simple: Japan and Vietnam are taking over tourism because their currencies are declining, and tourists get great value for their money. Thailand is becoming expensive, and the baht is artificially high, so it's no longer attractive. Even Thais now find it more interesting to vacation in Japan than to stay in destinations in Thailand! -
So you don't have to have 800,000 baht tied up in a Thai bank for life, which you could have invested abroad, earning you much more than the 8,000 baht the agent will charge you.

Tourism Foreign Tourists in Pattaya Feel "Short-Changed" Amid Local Deals
Espanol replied to snoop1130's topic in Pattaya News
Since the government pays 50% of the hotel rate for Thais who sign up for the program, hotels have doubled their rates: Thai guests continue paying the same, and the hotel keeps the entire discount. The problem is that foreigners don't enjoy this discount, so in practice what has been achieved is that Thais continue paying the same, while tourists now pay double.
