HermosaBeachGuy Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 So, I'm planning to return to Thailand in May after having the stupid idea in Nov. 2019 that I'd enjoy returning to the US to live... Anyway, I'm narrowed down to BKK, Pattaya and Phuket for final destinations. Each has pros and cons. The biggest con for Bangkok is the immigration hassle. Cheng Watana is a HUGE pain in the ass. The one year I did my retirement visa in Jomtien, it was SO easy... So, How's the immigration situation in Phuket? I really know nothing. Are they "reasonable"? Is the 90 day relatively close and convenient? Also, is there reliable fast internet available in most condos now? I did a Google search, and saw some ads with 15 mb/s as the available speed. This would be a deal breaker for me, as I'm prepared to give up the 400 mb/s I have here, but even in old condos in BKK you can get 50 mb/s. Any info is much appreciated.

LivinginKata Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Phuket Immigration is quite efficient especially now that Phuket has less foreigners these days. 3BB offer fast internet packages, I pay 650 baht for 200 Megs and their service is excellent. Call in problem morning, engineer on it by afternoon. And I pay month bill over internet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
