Mine is "Privileged Member", which is rather apt in fact.

Just a note, in order to use their debit card for online transactions you need to activate "verified by VISA", a long time ago I had this issue when trying to add my card to my Grab account. Here are the instructions; If you have K BIZ or K PLUS, you can apply via our main website: > Apply for Services > Verified by VISA for Debit Card > Apply online and please follow the instructions below; -Enter 16 digits of your debit card number and click “Register” -Enter your Citizen ID or Passport ID-Enter the Expiry Date of your debit card -Enter the account number linked with your debit card -Enter your birth date and click “Next” and follow the steps on the screen

My Kasikorn debit card works fine for that. But if you really need it they will give you a debit card with your name on it, if you ask nicely.

When opening the new accounts, did you not have to fill in/sign the "I am/am not" American forms? I certainly had to when opening any account in recent years.

Actually it didn't. The 90 days clock started when you entered the country, not when they issued the visa.

The e-visa system should not be confusing, but for you is very inconvenient for sure. Yes you have to apply in the country you are applying. VPN won't help. Yes, for a single entry non-O you will need 400k (or equal) in the bank, not necessarily a Thai bank. They say the processing time is 10-15 days (Laos), if this is actually true nobody knows yet (anywhere else it is not). If you have 400k then an in country extension of your current non-O would be the best. But you need the money.

How much extra for the daily v monthly rate? btw, seems like a normal policy, at least in my experience, perhaps you were just lucky before.

Not odd. The "bar scene" supports the law enforcement agencies, the odd bloke in his bedroom collating porn doesn't.

I arrived here at 70, have seen 37 and now it's 42. A long time ago I was recommended to budget on 38, I did and never had an issue with that idea.

Isn't it possible to pay extra for priority delivery? I would guess that is what everybody ahead of you is doing. Or cook.

Banks have property lists on their websites. I assume many of these are repossessions. Kasikorn for instance; https://www.kasikornbank.com/th/propertyforsale

Bit late for the OP, he has lived up to his name.

Jazz any good for you? Try; Smalls Bar & Live Music, 186, 3-4 Suan Phlu 1 Alley, Thung Maha Mek, Sathon, Bangkok 10120 or Groovin High Jazz Bar, 118 Si Lom Rd, Khwaeng Suriya Wong, Khet Bang Rak, Bangkok 10500

Block her.

Rich guy drinks himself to death, not the first. Hard to find sympathy for the greedy.

It's not a new visa. It's just all countries will join the already long existing e-visa program. Nothing different except you can no longer make in person applications.

A quick google reveals....... Phet Phrasert, Pattaya boarding point/office is at 240/15 Sukhumvit road, Nong Prue Bang Lamung, Chonburi. Find their small duplex beside Greenville Village, - opposite road of Boonthavorn Bldg.

This has to be one of the weirdest pieces I've read on here.

I don't know but personally I would simply transfer all the balance. In 1 second he will know if that works or not. Assuming it does then remove the 0.00 account from the app and forget about it.

Paying online for a Laos e-visa is not problematic. Paying online for a rail ticket on the LCR Ticket app is not problematic. So there must be another reason for the strange in person payment requirement for a Thai e-visa.

Of course they do. They can't afford it but it's necessary. It should not be part of your plans however.

Yes why not? I purchased the card based upon the terms in force at the time. That they changed their terms subsequently only prevents me from buying a new card.

Yes, you missed it. Thailand Unveils E-Visa System, Streamlining Travel for 2025

You got the special 55 days exempt entry for people from your world. Good news is you can get a 30 day extension. Or maybe 27.
