What should I do if I've been misled about the cost of my Muay Thai lessons and visa in Thailand?
Steve *******
@GenesisFritz *************
 hey dingus, he said he paid for 6 months of classes. That is the basis for a visa, but he didn't pay to get help with a visa. He applied for the visa himself.

Why are you in this group?

Steve *******
If you got your visa, just accept the situation and go train at another gym.

But make sure to inform others that this gym is scamming people, in an anonymous way. Review them on google maps and on Reddit. You can add their location or some other way for this group to know which gym it is, in your post.

How easy is it to re-enter Thailand with a DTV visa after traveling abroad?
Steve *******
I have flown in twice with my DTV and I just got stamped in and that was it.

What was so complicated about your entry? What did they ask you and what did you do?

Can I extend my visa for six months by traveling to Cambodia, and is it better to go by car or flight from Pattaya?
Steve *******
Visa runs to Cambodia cost around 4000. Don't pay the high prices some agents are asking for, they are all offering the exact same service at different prices.

But you should just fly to Kuala Lumpur and have a weekend holiday instead of sitting in a van all day for a new stamp.

What are the recent challenges foreign expats face when opening bank accounts in Thailand?
Steve *******
@Jon *********
 they are exactly that. Always posted by profiles with photos of light skinned skinny women, because that's what works for scamming Thais and old white men.

You have to physically be at a training facility for 15 hours to get your license, legally.

Why is the Thai embassy requesting additional documents for my DTV application in South Korea?
Steve *******
This is thai bureaucracy for you. They make things complicated for literally no reason and they LOVE paperwork without purpose

Just send the same exact bank statements you did before but with today's date and the other documents they asked for.

Do you have to enter Thailand soon after receiving your visa, or can you fly in whenever?
Steve *******
Anonymous participant you have 5 years to activate your visa by entering the country. But no embassy is going to give you a visa further then 3 months out from your trip.
