I've been getting in on 2130 flight, for last several visits just put flight in que and never more than 4 minutes through immigration. Longest part is waiting for luggage. 2130 to 2300 has never been a problem for me. Anytime of year.

Honestly I was in a hotel. TM30 and a print out of my reservation. That was it. No problem in Jomtien. Straight forward no questions asked. I was only in the hotel for 4 nights.

Inflation is negative in Thailand. Extremely weak demand. Interest rates are being cut to drive up the economy. I have no idea where high yield accounts from the banks would come from. As a matter of fact I need to pay the bank a yearly fee with my account. 🤣.

Last month timed it from airplane door at G3 to taxi area with 3 bags including golf clubs in 32 minutes total. The actual immigration itself no talking 50 seconds to stamp and take photo and stamp Non O Visa. One person in line before me. Biggest delay is getting bags.

Not sure his age, but what about healthcare, if he needs it.

Sounds like colonial entitlement to me. Especially if your country does not reciprocate the same openness to it's borders and sovereignty. I'm more amazed at the attitude like it's your right to come and go as you please.

Not needed. Annual travel insurance I believe is only good for 60 or 90 day stints at a time.

So you will be exiting Thailand in 60 days?

For reference, my story, everything handled with ease at Krungthai but it took getting passed around until they put me with a lady that spoke perfect English and knew her shit. All it took was my US Driver License, Resident Certificate, and Non O Visa, passport. Simple and easy. You need to find someone in the bank knowledgeable and willing to do all the paperwork.

And oh Yeah, I went to one of those branches in a shopping mall with a lot of foreign folk.

Try making an anonymous only group. Only anonymous post and replies are accepted. See how much credibility that group would have. C'mon people if you want credible responses anonymous will not work. I'm not sure how serious I would take a post made by someone anonymous. Past experience, anonymous posters are usually trouble makers or attempting to do something they would not do in their normal life.

Also to be honest their might be certain profiles that we lend expertise credibility to.
