For a tourist its ok> Dont travel at night Great people, great food

The road between Yala and Betong, ( a great city and lots ot see and do) is one of the most scenic in the south

use wise to send $$ from us bank to thai bank. takes less than 30 seconds and great rate

NOT sure about wise cards, but most foreign cards are charged 220 baht /withdrawal.

@Peter ********
WHY? if u already have the 800,000 Go to an immigration: apply for a non o visa ( 2,000 baht) after ur money has been at least 2 months in ur bank ( or after 1 month) go back to Immigration and apply for the 1 year extension ( 1,900) and apply for the multi re entry permit ( 3,800 baht)

Easy
Richard *********
Yes, it was easier before as my post showing the letter u take to the bank>

NOW.>>>>

I wonder if uj can still go to a bank and get the 100 baht draft and send it along with ur old passport??
