ORIGINAL POSTER

Started the visa application for wife to visit USA. It's already intrusive and weird, but we've nothing to hide so they are welcome to look at social media. 

It gives the choice of BKK or CM for the interview. Anyone have a reason NOT to choose CM?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The discussion revolves around a person's experience starting the visa application for their wife to visit the USA, questioning the choice between Bangkok (BKK) and Chiang Mai (CM) for the visa interview. Comments reveal that many find CM preferable due to earlier appointment availability, while others reflect on personal experiences related to visa sponsorship and perceptions of safety and cost in America.

My ex gf wants me to bring her to America for a month and I told her that it is too dangerous and too expensive. I tried to bribe her with a new iPhone 15 Pro and she no. Lol, most people that realize that the best thing about America is not America, it is the American dollar.

I know many Thais who have gone to Chiang Mai as they could an appointment there sooner than Bangkok.
