Anyone have knowledge or experience with Thai Living Landscapes? They offer a cultural program that supposedly falls under the DTV soft power category. But it's a relatively new program, by their own admission in email correspondence. I'm just wanting to prevent getting scammed.

Is there any info out there about known scams related to DTV?

What's the typical cost of soft power programs? I know the costs vary, but concrete examples are appreciated. Thank you

Does the TDAC application process ask you to provide an email address?

Did I just get scammed at the airport by immigration?

Got a reentry permit for me, my wife and child. Few weeks ago I paid 1,000 fee each and that was it. Today the lady asked me for 1,200. I asked why? She said service charge to copy passport and because I didn't bring the filled out application downloaded from the Internet.

So I asked for a receipt. The receipt shows 1,000 as well. So I asked again about the 200 and why it's not on the receipt. She answered "receipt only for reentry permit not service charge"

So I shook my head and left

Hi ! So im back since i made my visa ED 3 month ago. I have to extend in the end of this month. I got 2 choices : Extend 2 months or 3 months. 2 months = 1,900B or 3 month 4,900. Why its expensive more ? (3,800B normally right ? For 2 extensions) Its not 1,900B for 3 months ? They told me if i extend 3 months and i have to go back to my country (like 2 weeks) I still get my visa ED but in fact if i go out it cancel my visa ? Im so confuse and the more i ask them the more im confuse.... :(
