I think you might have hit the nail on the head here because above OP says they’re foreign.

Do you have to pay extra. I thought it was still limited to a month with nationwide.

Think I’d have paid too under those conditions.

Incognia Sentante way more fun taking city breaks too.

Steve Aitken makes sense. Increased scrutiny will be the reason for the increased prices people are reporting.

Depends what you spend too. I don’t spend anywhere near 65,000 baht a month.

So I’d either have reverse transfer costs to consider or a forever increasing cumulative surplus here in Thailand not earning me money.

I think for me the best long term strategy financially is parking the 800k.

Comparing fixed versus compounding losses.

SJ Roach I’ve been to both for Songkran. Chiang Mai blew Pattaya out the water.

Stef JB The rich buy insurance to stay rich; the poor don't buy insurance because they think they're too poor to afford it.

Health insurance pays for itself the moment one major medical event costs more than the total premiums you’ve paid over a lifetime. The chances of that happening are 70%.

It’s the lucky 30% who make insurance companies their profits.

So in other words ⅔ of the people who aren’t insured will end up out of pocket. Many by a serious amount.

@Stephen ********

same thing. Second extension last year. Get a visa next time.

@Brian **********

I won’t use cash anymore but you’ve got me good on that single point.

And it’s always midnight for me.

I’ll just pay for all that beer I’ve drunk.…oh shit.
