Book another hotel and then dispute charge with your credit card company. Tell them your complaint. Not sure your travel insurance will cover you..all worth a shot, but me personally I would just book another hotel, even of it's just to take showers in. 😀.

@Marty ********

sure was not quite clear of all the requirements needed to be met or just one requirement to be declared a wealthy individual. The 500k invested in Thailand would be a challenge.

@Marty ********

so the $100k is that an actual bank account or could it be a brokerage account holding. What is the cost for LTR?

Did you do FBI check or local? When I was adopting I wrote down a disorderly conduct charge. There was absolutely no record of it anywhere. Took me more effort to explain why there was no record of it, I had to get affidavits from city and state saying they could not find a criminal record. Moral of the story don't disclose frivolous stuff, especially if you had no conviction on a misdemeanor 🤣.

For 90 days you can just buy an annual travel insurance. But, I don't know at your age it might be expensive. My yearly travel insurance is $138 USD. That gives me 45 days of travel. The premium plan would give me 90 days at $400 USD. I also have credit cards insurance. Plus my medical insurance will cover world wide. I am speaking from the standpoint of a vacation traveler.

I'm a vacationer, and I always drag my clubs in. No problem.

What is he doing illegal? Seems like he is going through the legal steps to me.

@Ryan *******

now that I think about it only time I've ever been questioned on entry is when I made a trip to Malaysia just for a few days. At DMK I was grilled hard, and truly I was just a short time tourist, not even 10 days in Thailand. They wanted to verify hotel address and how long stay in hotel. This had nothing to do with a visa trip. I was purely visa exempt short stay.

@Ernesto *******

thank you, I appreciate that. I'm trying to be poor. I'm actually paying people to make me poor. Maybe one day you will understand.

@Ernesto *******

hence the original question NET or GROSS. One day when you get that kind of money you will understand you want to have as little money per year as possible. Talk with a wealth manager you will understand. We are trying to be as poor as possible each year. At least that is my goal.
