Transfer of 800K using Wise for 1 Year Extension Visa
This doesn't answer your question. After transferring the money to the satisfaction of Immigration, you might like to change banks. Krungsri Bank is rather old-fashioned and basic. My wife and I used to have an account there. I felt like I was going back in time when I needed to use their service. -

Tourism Tourism Shock: Thailand's Visitor Numbers See Alarming Plunge
Thailand is no longer attracting that many people from the West, and the vast majority of tourists are now Russian, Malaysian, Indian, and Arab, and some Chinese, and I don't think very many of them are wealthy. So, the industry continues to hurt. Thailand is no longer attracting very many Western tourists for a dozen very good reasons. One could argue that these are relatively low quality tourists, in terms of the amounts of money that they spend. Sure you have a few wealthy Russians and some wealthy Chinese, but most are lower to middle income and don't spend alot. Thailand suffers from an impossible level of smugness and arrogance, and a persistent belief that they are truly the center of the universe and the best thing in the world. They don't have a clue. Sometimes it feels like the fact that the nation was never colonized was a leading factor in this hubris and inability to see the world for what it is. The severe inability to adapt, improve, and reform, has hurt their prospects. It's all good. Far less tourism would make Thailand far more comfortable for the tourists who come, and for the expats, and would likely lead to better attitudes amongst people in tourism. They simply would need to be creative in figuring out ways to make up for the lost billions in revenue. This process will not be reversed until the authorities wake up and make some sacrifices such as lowering luxury taxes, lowering wine taxes, cleaning up the air, making the highways safer, allowing more private air travel, helicopter travel, high-speed trains and alternatives to the totally choked and extremely hazardous highways. And now they have invited in the Bratva, by opening up the country to all Russians. Quantity over quality only works if you are selling $2 items at a swap meet. Dumb and dumber. -

Trump Blowing his own trumpet.
I never said all agree. I said CONSENSUS of all. At this point I don't think you don't know the definition of consensus. I think you're play acting that you don't -- willful ignorance. -

Dumb Pigeon just crashed into my Picture Window: Not too smart
Actually, quite sad. Rather a beautiful specimen, as well. Maybe the only way is to plant bananas to completely cover the window. I would DEFINITELY be up for this. And, this might reduce glare from outside. Of course, I would need POTS, flower pots. But, as I am not a horticulturist, I would need to consult some AI to learn how. If not expensive, then I might try this. Much better than drapes. And, I love the color green, when it is plant-green.
