Ive been living in Phnom Penh since June, prior I was living in Chiang Mai for 2 years. Today I went to make a Thai Tourist Visa in PP..., I had way more then 1k usd on me, but they denied me even after discussing with my thai GF because they need to see a *sign bank statement*.
I dont use my Canadian bank acc anymore, I use Bitcoin for pretty much everything so I cant show them what they want. Went we go back to Thailand im going to make a thai bank acc so I can withdraw BTC to thai bank acc whenever I want but for now I need alternative solution.
Any country (Laos? Malaysia? Vietnam?), that will accept my cash as proof of funds? I already use my 2 land visa exempt entry this year and we travel with 5 dogs so we need to enter Thailand by land (3 of them are too young for flight).
So which embassy should I try? Thx!
