What is the problem with Poi Pet?

Go to any of the Super Rich branches either at the airport or other branches. You will get a better rate for £50 notes. I never had a problem. In addition, carrying small notes take up too much space when travelling. Most banks in the UK now dispense £50's from cash machines.

I have been living in Thailand for nearly 10 years now and reading all these posts got me more than confused!! Every post is telling something different!

You can apply for non OA in Thailand. I have been doing it for years.

@Michael *******

thank you. I have been looking for that too and couldn't find anywhere, Google doesn't help either other than couple of companies in Bangkok. I don't know why people get so worked up about it!

You probably watch a training video for couple of hours.

Well, everyone has said it. You can order them from Lazada and they will deliver to your house. Lazada has all types.

Ryan, providing that you have the necessary paperwork and the funds in the bank two months prior to your application, it is actually quite easy to do. Sometimes the immigration may ask you to bring additional paperwork. Always carry all possible paperwork with you with double copies and originals as much as possible.

In my area it is required to do every time I return from overseas. It is a simple form, anyone can fill it in. Make sure the landlord has a copy of the deed and the copy of their ID. It takes 10 minutes. You don't need to pay anyone. It needs to be done immediately after your arrival or the next day. Or you will be fined per day you are late. I think submitting TM30 costs 100 Baht at the immigration office. It is actually the landlord's duty to submit the TM30 to tell the immigration that someone staying at that address. So in theory the landlord should pay for it.

Most medicine are available without prescription in Thailand. If it is a problem you can go to a doctor or hospital where they will give you the medicine and prescription. I had to go to a private hospital for a consultation that cost me about £15 including the medicine. Hospital stock medicine and sell.
