Why are there so "few" tourists in Thailand now?
Man creates profile. Man makes post. Man wonders why tourist numbers are down in low season when tourist numbers are always down in low season (hence why it is called "low season" perhaps?). Man doesn't come back to reply to anything or anybody in over a week. Man definitely is real and isn't a bot, oh yes. Welcome to the new look Asean Now. Posts are up, all is rosy. -

Thai privilege (Elite) visa
Hi forum, I've been approved for a Privilege visa, and am making plans at the moment for the move. Not sure this is the perfect thread, but rather than start a new one I thought I'd try a post here to look for feedback on the below: - Book a three week trip to get started: - Spend some time in Bangkok, Hua Hin and Phuket. Look at a few rental options in each, sign a contract and secure somewhere to live. Considering offering one month deposit + three upfront, rather than the usual 2+1. - Open a bank account - I have some doubts as to whether this will be possible initially, as my understanding is the bank account depends on having a Certificate of Residence, which in turn depends on having a successful 90-day report. I'd like to do it asap. - Return to my current base for a week or two, close things down and return to Thailand and the new rental - Driving Licence: as the Thai process doesn't look to arduous, I thought I may just sit the tests required. Perhaps there are a few differences in the Highway Code-type rules I should know about too. - Motorcycle Licence: I don't currently have one, but I would get one if living in Hua Hin or Phuket, and do that at the same time as the driving licence. - Tax registration: although non-working, I understand I'd need to register and declare divestments into THB. - Personal goods: I have some boxes in storage which I'd eventually ship over. I assume that would require registering with Customs and paying the import duties. - Plugs & cables: I currently have EU and UK plugs for my devices, I don't expect any issues and I'm not currently aware of any better options. - Working out: I keep things simple with two dumbbells, which I'd replace on arrival. No issues to buy them in any of the places I mentioned above, I assume. - Hot weather clothes: visit a tailor in Bangkok towards the end of the prep trip, pick up on the second, more permanent trip out. That's probably enough to get started, very grateful for any advice or warnings.
