they grilled me last time when I went to Malaysia I didn't have a tm30 from my apartment. So when questioned I said am meeting other tourist so plans always change. I said we might go to Vietnam blah blah and they let me stay with a smile.

My Italian friend has been in Bangkok for 6 years. He said he met an agent and paid her a "fee" and got a legit 1yr visa stamp.

metv would be 6 months for me, $250cad plus leaving every 2months to Malaysia for a run...

With the new rules of 60 days... I could come stay 60. Pay 1900baht to extend another 30.. I think boarder hopping will cost less

thanks. Yeah I cannot stand Canada. Where I live cold for 6 months so I go to Thailand and visa hop. I work online from home. I just want to get a apartment in Bangkok and go work from my Canadian job. BUT. I do not have enough for a proper visa currently so I may have to do some hopping.

Do you need 0 baht in your account at the start. Or the whole time.. Is this in your home account or a Thai bank?

Omg I for a second thought they sent you a 400 baht fine to the Washington embassy.

180. Day per entry. Leave for 5 days check out Malaysia and go back

Charge extra for luggage... Don't fall for that. It's all going the same direction...

truth easier to leave a few days earlier and come back with less hassle. You will still get the full 30 days add to the Thai stamp

HERE IS A HACK.

Go to Google travel>hotels>search

Hotel name or area in city>click hotel. (make sure you toggle price to show total with fees in Google hotel)

It will show you multiple booking sites and prices. You can always check which room which site has...

OFTEN AGODA is best price, best room 60% of the time. Booking is agoda parent company. They will get about 20% share. Then there is trip, vio, traveloka, momondo, Trivago, that usually have deals aswell.

Clearly I am making these percentages up. But it's kinda the truth

Straight up. All booking sites have advertising they send out to entice you to get that price. Regardless when you book it's still a fantastic deal even if you don't get advertise price.
