Need advices on money transfer. Anyone wired 800,000 baht (using Swift code) from a US bank to Thai bank account recently? what US bank did you use? TIA

Do you know any Muay Thai gyms in Chiang Mai that can produce DTV documents?

What is the easiest route for soft power DTV approval?

My preference is the cookery classes, I understand you have to book a 6 month term to be approved? Does anyone have any reliable and affordable cookery places? Preferably in Bangkok or Chinag Mai?

And will a 6 month class suffice for the entire 5 year Visa?

Thanks!

What are some tips, dos and don’ts that you can share when renting an apartment in Bangkok?

Hi I'm of to vietnam for an 90 day non o. Does anyone know what the wait time is thanks

After more than two months of being completely screwed around by “that bank” they now tell me they cannot unfreeze my account and need to give me my money back. I have just renewed my 12 month extension of stay (retirement) and have supplied them the relevant documents including a certificate of residency.

My question is how can I go about changing banks without “breaking” my retirement extension. I don’t have enough money just to deposit another 800k in another new bank while waiting to get my money from the original bank.

Moving to Thailand next year, but I cannot decide on where to call home. My elderly father is coming with me, so we want to be near great hospitals. Cannot decide between Changmai (burning season worries me) and the burbs of BKK. Any input?

We are wanting to do the DTV (Destination Thailand Visa) so we can come and go for about 5 years. Should that be applied for prior to coming to Thailand or can it be applied for after arrival on a tourist visa?

Hi everyone,

I’m going to apply for the DTV soon while I’m in Vietnam.

I work as a freelancer in online marketing and have several client contracts, but they’re all in German.

Do you think I should have them officially translated into English and signed again, or would a simple English translation together with invoices be enough as proof?

I’d really appreciate your advice , thanks in advance! 🙏
