Well just tried to open an account with Krungthai. Was originally told, by a higher up employee. Bring passport and thats it.

Show up. They now require a pink ID card and a yellow book that you are registered under. Haha what is happening with the banking system here. MIND YOU I already have a business account with them, that was opened in the same branch.

Does anyone know, if a husband and wife are applying for a DTV through a Muay Thai gym, is it enough for one person to apply to the program and then their spouse can apply by being the spouse of the person training at the Muay Thai gym? Or would they both need to buy a membership from the gym to qualify?

Hey guys, I need some advice on a dual passport issue.

I have Israeli and French passports. Been in Thailand 2 years on a Non-B visa with the Israeli one, now switching to a student visa. The visa office asked me to re-enter with my French passport.

Problem: my flights are already booked like this:

-Chiang Mai → BKK → Vietnam (Israeli)

-Vietnam → BKK (French)

-BKK → Chiang Mai (Israeli) (booked this one long ago thats why its on israeli)

Goal is to enter Thailand on the French passport, but the flights are mixed. Did I mess up?

Since my tickets from Vietnam in on my french one ill need to enter Vietnam with my french one too isnt it?

Finally got the last bit of paperwork for my DTV Visa. I'm applying in Los Angeles embassy. What is the wait time these days? Last time I checked a couple months ago it was two or three weeks. Thank you

I’ve read that visas for retirees are getting stricter and more enforced. Would the same restrictions be applied for other visas when applying from abroad or online? During the week over 10k student visas got questioned. Stories I’ve seen online.

Hello! Do you think it is more easy to apply for a muay thai or thai cooking visa? I love both muay thai and thai cooking so really hesitating haha
