Ok no problem. Yes agreed, the easiest way is to part with 4k in Pattaya & get the job done.

They are quoting 10k to open bank account in Bangkok. FYI - in one of the visa agent replies they mention the visa will not be obtained at CW in Bangkok & they will issue the visa at another office possibly in another province.

Many foreigners are paying big money for visa services particularly in Bangkok. When I told my American neighbour in Khanom how much they charge in Pattaya she didn't believe me as she is paying in the 20's range just for renewals every year via a Bangkok agent. Pattaya seems to be the most economical place for visa related matters using visa agents although their prices range from 25,000 to 46,000. FYI - very easy & fast at Nakhon Si Thammarat Immigration. I am usually the only person when I go at around 10am & out of there within 10-15 minutes of which 5-10 minutes is spent having a chat and/or coffee with the Immigration Officers. Unlike the chaos at tourist places like Pattaya, Bangkok & Hua Hin.

They probably want me & others they advise the same to go try open a bank account & be unsuccessful, get very frustrated & run to them to pay the 10,000 to assist. Whereas if you do some research there are agents that can do this for 4,000. Easier to go to an agent & avoid the headaches.

Was in Thailand from July-October this year. Yodbamai & Siam Seeds had great prices at 100-120 baht gram when I arrived. Went up to around 180-200 baht gram by the time I departed. Strains I smoked are Birthday Cake, Mochi, Apples & Bananas, Wedding Cake, Super Skunk. The Birthday Cake (Cherry Pie x Girl Scout Cookies) & Super Skunk (Skunk #1 x Afghani) were pick of the bunch. Mochi (Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies x Sunset Sherbet) was also very good. They don't display their stock online anymore but send you messages in Line with new arrivals. I find Yodbamai to be grown more like old school indoor hydro whereas Siam is more potent & they tend to grow many exotic strains & small auto flower plants. Siam update their Facebook page regularly with new strains they are growing & when they will be ready. https://www.facebook.com/SiamSeedsCo/ https://www.yodbaimai.com/ Both Yodbamai & Siam took good care of me with additional grams for free, free papers, free joints, free samples & free delivery while I was in Bangkok, Pattaya, Hua Hin & Khanom. Spent two months at Khanom beach & it's a beautiful chilled out place ideal for smokers. Great for fishing too & was catching about 10 pasai every afternoon off the beach with a little 6ft rod/reel combo bought on Facebook for 300 baht. Bought a charcoal grill from Lazada & happy days at Khanom beach on the munchies. Will be back there in late January living 100 metres from the beach paradise. I have attached photos of a couple of the strains.

Here are directions I received the other day from a visa agent in Bangkok for opening bank accounts. Otherwise they can open you a bank account for 10,000 baht cost. Please follow this step to open an account on your own. 1st you go to get 30 days tourist extension at your local immigration (please also bring your address paperworks to immigration) 2nd request the immigration to proceed residence certificate for you to open an account 3rd show the residence certificate at the bank to get account open Have not tried to open a bank account yet to see if the process is successful. My Lao girlfriend with Work Permit tried the above process but the bank requested a copy of her health exam as well. This is down south in Nakhon Si Thammarat. I extended my visa during my last stay in Thailand 2 months ago in Nakhon Si Thammarat & got a residence certificate from immigration but didn't know I could open a bank account. Will have to give it a try when I come back in January otherwise I will go to Maneerat in Pattaya who do it for about 4,000 baht. MOTS in Pattaya can also open bank accounts for 4,000 baht. I have been getting quotes for bridging/retirement 15 month visa & they range from 25,000-46,000 + bank account charge in Pattaya, 38,000-52,000 + bank account charge in Bangkok & a whopping 60,000 including bank account in Surat Thani. Extra 4,000-10,000 to open a bank account.
