Your getting more people because Thailand has made it so complicated with visas and extensions.

5 years ago I could go to Thailand from USA for 3 months and renew in Thailand, no problem! Now it’s only a month and expensive to fly as well as stay!

Thailand changes their rules all the time, so sad!

We do scan new applications for date of joining Facebook and number of groups they’ve in. Typically to root out the bots and scammers. Pretty much 99% of the applications seem legit. Booted one who’s first post was a blatant advert to “contact me for a visa”.

We don’t allow adverts.

Very helpful 👍
