Dating 22-Year-Old Thai Bubble Tea Girl - She Just Asked for 30K/Month – Am I Being Played?
That's irrelevant, he;'s not buying a used scooter, he's talking about paying money for a girlfriend. If the girl were a true girlfriend, then money would be no object, as she'd deliver a whole lot more than sex, such as emotional support, household services and much else besides. If she were a true girlfriend, he'd have to support the family, pay for her if she got very sick to ensure she survives. She would be his walking liability but he would take it on regardless because of the benefits she offers. However, in this case she is obviously trying to take financial advantage of the OP. So one can discount the notion that she is a true girlfriend, she is the classic gold digger. Not true, Chuando Tan is fighting off the 20 year olds with a stick, depends what the man looks like and what his resources and social standing are. Also not true, even with money, you will find that women are highly selective with long term relationships, you would still have to offer a certain level of attractiveness for some girls. Others yes, they will do a hairy obese 280 kilo walking manpig. But not all gold diggerts are so devoid of standards, the better looking a woman is generally the more likely looks will also play some role, you still can't look repulsive. Even if you wave 30000 baht around. -

Using Agent at Immigration - good idea?
Nothing wrong with using an agent to walk you through the process and wait in line for you and whatnot. I think we used to pay B500 for the assistance/form-filling/queue-booking and whatnot, but I'm sure it's gone up since them. -

Which bank has the best current account
I have accounts with Bangkok Bank, Krungsri, and SCB. I started back in 2016 with Bangkok Bank as they were the only bank at that time i could find in Phuket that would let me open a bank account with a then 'visa exempt' status. No long after I successfully opened my account with them, they changed their policy and would not allow new accounts to be opened Visa exempt. However by then i had switched to a type-O/OA visa. I later opened an account with Krungsri bank. Why? On a type-O/OA visa, Bangkok Bank in Phuket was a bit of a pain to get my annual account statement of 800k THB in the bank for the past year (it would take a week as Phuket branch had to apply to Bangkok to get such). so I kept my Bangkok Bank account and opened an account with Krungsri (i was on a type-OA at that time). Krungrsi in Phuket will print the paperwork needed for immigration (proving 800k THB in one's account in their bank) on the same day. MASSIVELY better than Bangkok bank, with far less planning needed when applying for one's 1-year extension on one's Type-O/OA visa's permission to stay. About a month ago i opened an account with SCB (now on an LTR-WP visa) so to get an SCB Planet card. My views? Bangkok Bank: If transferring money from outside of Thailand into Thailand via Wise, Bangkok Bank is massively superior to Krungsri bank. However to get any VIP perks with Bangkok bank, one needs to keep a LOT of money with them. And Phuket's branches of Bangkok Bank are a pain to get the annual paperwork for a Type-O/OA visa , as it takes one week. The lines at the Bangkok Bank branch (without VIP status) where I like to visit are massive -sometimes it takes an hour to talk to anyone. Krungsri Bank: Krungsri bank, on the hand has a much lower threshold for "VIP" status (ie Krungsri Exclusive). So while the branch has lines, having a Krungsri Exclusive status means (in the branch I visit) I typically get access to a teller/person MUCH faster. I also, if waiting, get to sit in the Krungsri VIP lounge area (free coffee/cookies) and very pleasant chairs/desk, with wifi access. Also Krungsri, as noted, prints out the paperwork for Type-O/OA visas in about 10 to 15-minutes (instead of 1-week for Bangkok Bank). Krungsri Exclusive comes with more perks, such as Thai airways airport lounge access, 2 x dragon passes per year, 8-health club all-day passes per month for Phuket's largest health club (plus some other). However Krungsri is far less convenient to transfer money into from outside of Thailand. As for SCB bank? Too early to tell, so I can't comment. Typically I do all my day to day transactions with Krungsri bank (credit card or money transfers internal to Thailand). To top up my money in Thailand (going back before 1-jan-2024) I would transfer to Bangkok Bank, and then once in Bangkok Bank transfer money to Krungsri (and recently SCB). I spread my money out a bit in those banks, to reduce the amount i exceed the government guarantee. I have not transferred money into Thailand since 1-Jan-2024, but I likely will in the future, and transfer such to Bangkok Bank first.
