Is this the beginning of the end for Thailand?

Anyone get asked for a hired amount than needed for their DTV visa? Washington DC has asked for a bank statement with 550,000 thai baht (16k usd)

I fly to Bali next week and was trying to get this visa approved before leaving. Due to my pay schedule, I can't increase the savings account until after I'm in bali to accurately reflect the amount they want.

Should I just go to Jakarta while in Bali and apply there, or are they asking for the 550,000 thai baht rather than the 500,000 thai baht.

I have a question for the expats living in Thailand? From my observation and experience, is it common for wives to basically disregard their husbands, and carry on almost a single life? But still act as married? I have noticed Thai men who seem to always be waiting for their wives? I have also had this happen to me, although I am not married, or in a relationship! I am not suggesting anything is going on, but I was wondering why any man would bother, as it seemed he is really single? Please just constructive feedback, if possible?

Interesting she has been charged with working illegally, first case i have seen for online working. Lesson dont say anything bad about Thailand and keep under the radar.

Hi!

I’m in a little bit of a situation and am unable to pay last month’s rent and will be leaving Bangkok already. My lease contract says if I am unable to pay within 30 days, they will lock me out and keep my stuff and auction it, etc. and that my two month’s deposit will be forfeited.

I have left the property already and now the agent and condo office are threatening to call the police and immigration on me unless I settle the balance.

I know it’s an horrible move, but I thought forfeiting 40,000 baht of deposit should be enough to compensate for the last month’s rent, etc.

Question is, can they actually call the police and immigration on me? Contract only says repercussion is forfeiture of deposit.

Also, they have been harrassing my friends who helped me move out and live in the same building that they’d report them to immigration. Can they do that?

Any advice? (Aside from paying the last month’s due, because I really can’t.) Thank you!

In a country that seemingly exists on pork, why is it so hard to find somewhere I can buy ham that I can boil at home to make sandwich ham. That watery crap they sell everywhere isn't fit for my dog!

Hi quick question about opening a Bank account in Thailand.

I am here currently for 1 month. Will be here many times in the future before I eventually apply for visa being over 50.

My Thai partner and I went in and they refused as I have no work visa! Never will have as don't intend to ever work here but want to open an account now.

Thanks in advance.
