The wife will know for sure. 😉

Think about it... it is impossible it is legal. As if any country would allow this. As if your counry would allow this. So that means you are in illegal territory here, that means anything can happen. No matter what answers you get here.

Thanks guys

You know its bad when it takes a 'War and Peace' to explain it and at the end of it all nobody's any the wiser 😂. But for sure a million have reported three being fine to narrow it down a bit!

Thailand doesn't have to pay for countries with a weaker economy unlike some EU countries. So it will probably get worse. Same as the last 20 years for Euro V Baht. I say it factually, not judgementally.

I can give you one tip. I wanted the same advice. I realised quickly tbat trying to get official information from the officials is extremely difficult. They always have a queue. I called a visa company. They do everything for you for a fee . The fee was too much so I didn't pay. But the first free consultation/phone call, to see what visas I'm eligible for? That was invaluable.

I had something similar. Koh Yai Yai , days after it was possible to enter Thailand via Phuket after the lockdown. The private owner of the accommodation broke down in uncontrollable tears. She hadn't been able to pay for wifi so didn't know she had a booking even. She had been sneeking to the beach at night to get crabs and seaweed for soups and some nutrition, grew a few vegetables in the garden to get by and eating the cheapest sausage from the store. She didn't want to take from the minimal food programme on this tiny island as she said the elderly and kids needed it more than her. We were her first guests in over 2 years. 😔

There were 8 young cats running about. Somebody had dumped them as little kittens in her garden knowing that she was fond of cats. She had managed to take care of them too with her tiny budget.

When we heard this, we extended the stay, gave amazing review, and ate her amazing home cooking 3x a day rather than going to restaurants to boost her income, hired her spare motorbike, bought her beer rather than a bar, paid her for laundry, ironing, anything we could think of. Obviously tips too.

Yes, it's not always about saving some baht unfortunately 😔.

@John *******

he's looking at 5900 plus his own 2000. Call it 8k a day. Best get diving instructing. 😂 Only kidding, there's some real girls, even on the islands.

@Alastair ******

10-15k is possible I agree. But everyone is different. If somebody loves say , Phuket or Samui and wants to be by the sea (a diver may well) , it would be more like 15-30k for condo.

2000B a day. That's absolutely fine if you stay single. Put a Thai girl in the mix? Take your age , multiply by 100, is the general rule. 😂
