Getting a bit frustrated with Thailand as a whole in all honesty, lived in 6 other countries and never had ANY issues, opening banks, simple entry & exit, ease of renting, local pricing etc. Thailand? Exact opposite. Total misery, scams, bribes, "crackdowns" foreigner prices, endless paperwork, rental nightmares, list goes on.
Note: I have a workcation DTV etc but seriously thinking of ditching it and moving on elsewhere once my 180 days is up, just not worth it.
Revolut if it's in the UK should be ok, outside I've known rejections, if you can just spring up a Monzo account (takes like one day to set up after id verification) and put it in there (if they don't care about how long you've had the 500k that is)
Just stay put, if you can't afford to stay put then you shouldn't even be getting a DTV (only saying this because of one toolbag that cried on here they ran out of money in Cambodia whilst waiting)
Anytime I land at Suvarnabhumi I always dodge the female officers, even back when I was entering on visa exempt they would badger me a lot, if I'm next in line and it's a female officer I tell the person behind to go ahead because I need to get documents out of my bag etc.
just visa exempt, TBF it was Phuket airport and I've found immigration/security usually poke around more at smaller airports in general because they're bored out of their minds
they did the same to me on my very first visit to Thailand 3 years back along and asked for proof of funds and hotel reservation etc (UK national here). I've been in and out over 20 times ever since and they've never even blinked an eye now, just stamp and move on. First entry with DTV immigration officer was just watching football on his phone and stamped me in without looking 😅
