Short answer is AirBnB style daily rental is illegal in Thailand. However, just like many other things it’s simply overlooked.

We just bought a condo last month in Jomtien. During the process I asked the Juristic office if AirBnB is allowed. I asked because I don’t want to live in a hotel style building. I want a building that discourages this behavior. They basically proceeded to tell me how to rent it daily style and avoid trouble.

So you probably can do it very easy.

good point. Mine was 13 Jan to 13 Mar even though only 28 days in Feb. Good catch. 👍🏻👍🏻

what he said^^. Must be in the account for 60 days prior to application.

I was in the same boat and was told we do not fall into the amnesty. I went ahead and extended. Was a breeze because no one is at immigration now. But that was in Ubon. Your local immigration office may say something different 😁

Ditto what everyone said. But as far as TriCare goes there is no verbiage in the statement of benefits that specifically says “Covid 19” coverage or whatever you want to call it.

I thought I remember that when they were asking for returnees to have coverage it had to specifically state Covid coverage.

So looking in the magic 8 ball IF they require the same thing down the road you’ll probably need some sort of external policy specifically for Covid.

But if you are already in Thailand you do not need anything regarding employment. I have a “marriage” visa and do not have a job.

Bold move. Hope you bought refundable tickets. I’d bet a lot of money the ban is extended. But I don’t know shit and am just guessing.

Maybe it is best for me that I did my first extension this year and had to do all of that for the first time. But also had to show divorce decrees as well. Didn’t seem that difficult to be honest.

If you cannot find a hotel check AirBnB. They are still booking and CHEAP. We are in Ubon and planned a 1 June departure for Pattaya. Got a condo for $13 USD per night. There was one for $9 but wasn’t open for the full dates we wanted.
