FYI - Phone plans

I started with the 15 day unlimited tourist sim. When that ended, i was just going with pre-paid (Dtac). That really chews through the data and the $$ is very high. I have read various posts here and other groups that you need to pay 1 year in advance for monthly post paid plan, or sometimes without work permit they will deny you.

I went to Dtac at Tesco Chalong. No issues at all. To note, you cant convert from tourist sim to post paid until you have had it for 30 days, and i was at only 21 days(maybe only a Dtac rule, im not sure). So i didnt get to keep my original number, but i was able to get onto a new post paid plan, with a new number straight away, no problems.

All i needed was my passport and DTV visa printout (i also had copy of my 1 year lease, but they didnt need to see this). They did ask if we have work permit, but i said no, not able to work. They also asked if we had Thai bank account, but i said no, just Australian bank account.

Plan given on the spot, no pre-payment for 12mths or anything like that.

1199 baht per mth, unlimited fast data, 350 minutes calls to any network.

I want to visit Thailand in summer. Can I find a football team that I can play for because I wish to stay in thailand.

Does anyone know any Muay Thai gyms in Hua Hin that’ll accept my DTV visa?

I’ve used the 60 days free visa I get from the uk 3 times within the last 8 months and want to come again in July. Would i get stopped for coming again too many times even if I can prove my money?

I did everything through issa compass agency because I was rejected the first attempt because of my complicated surname and i didnt want to risk it again. I paid around 5k baht for the service and they refund you everything (including government fees) if rejected. The documents were the usuals.

The wait was excruciating but finally it's here, thank for this group for all your advice and support.

Courage to everyone still waiting.

Anyone know of a Muay Thai gym on Koh Phangan that will offer authorisations? I’ve searched this group and found nothing. Thanks!

TDAC

If you live in Thailand, what do you put for purpose of travel on the TDAC? I see holiday, education, sport, etc... on it so not sure what to choose

Anybody with DTV visa doing multiple entries to Thailand? E.g. stay for one month in TH, fly somewhere else for a week or two, go back to TH for a month, and repeat?

It should be perfectly okay with DTV visa type, but curious if immigration sees it the same way?
