  1. Live like a Thai? Thais are quick to offer teamoney...more than farang in my experience
  2. Not sure about Surat Thani but Chaeng Wattana only accepts THB 800,000 in a Thai bank account for the initial Non O issuance. They accept monthly transfers for the extension, not sure about combination method.
  3. If he wants the money sent by WISE then it is sent to a Thai bank. If he has an account that he can receive funds, just make a deposit to that account
  4. So it is ok fpr off dity police to run sirens gpr non police detail and to stop traffic at will ?
  5. Thailand, the hub of quality tourists.
  6. Not accepted at Bangkok Chaeng Wattana for a new Non O. Only THB 800,000 in a Thai Bank or an Embassy letter if your homw country will issue.
  7. I tried ro go from a tourist visa to a 3 month Non O at Bangkok Chaeng Wattana. They would not accept THB 65,000 for 12 months to issue the Non O. They do accept the monthly for an extension; howver, not for a new 3 month Non O
  8. Many immigration offices want to see a lease to grant a one year extensi n
  9. Most of the advice given is incorrect. If your bank is showing a domestic transfer, most immigration officers require a letter from the intermediary bank verifying the international transfer even though you don't have an account with the bank. Some imm offices require that the letter not be more than 7 days old from your extension application. Many of us on the monthly transfer for extension have contacted Wise to flag our account for direct transfer and not use an intermediary bank. There is an active Wise Thailand group on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/wisesolutions/?ref=share
  10. I agree with previous responder. If standing is painful, get a wheelchair
  11. What actions allow rape ? I would think that a passed out person who cannot give consent to sex would be a clear no go
  12. https://www.facebook.com/groups/wisesolutions/?ref=share There is a WISE Thailand Goup on facebook
  13. Crazy, delusional people come in all nationalities.
  14. I am sure the photo was taken before the accident.
  15. I can imagine many restaurants in Texas, Louisiana, Alaba, Mississippi along with other states not welcoming to gay couples.
  16. And the same law that 36 GOP Senators currently voted against
  17. That net would include most of the Thai police, military and government
  18. Western Union is quick and easy but they offer a horrendous exchange rate which result in 3 to 6 % lower money sent than WISE
  19. Western Union has a 2 to 3 baht lower exchange rate resulting in a 6 to 9 % loss when transferring funds.
  20. In regards to the past, it was a simpler time; however, in the U.S. the past was more repressive for people of color, for women, and for LGBQT+ people. Let us remember the past for the good AND the bad.
  21. Requiring visitors to apply for a visa may catch a few undesirablea, but it will discourage many more honest tourists from applying and visiting
  22. I suggest you google "are all foreigners in Thaiand called farang?" This is the result:
