agree extensions have traditionally been 1900 regardless of length, but in all the official announcements describing the DTV prior to those issued to the consulates, etc (with no price shown), they stated it was expendable for another 180 days for another 10k. But your right people will bounce twice if they want 365 days a year.

@Todd ********

i believe you were partly right, and in line with the intention of the visa. Officially if you want to stay a second 180 days , then an extension does cost another 10k. To do the full 365 days, you have to leave and come back utilizing the multi-entry even after an extension, which makes it a bit obsolete. So most people will bounce twice a year and avoid the 10k extension.

@Neil *****

the no tax mentioned, is if you only stay for the 180 days in a tax year. If you stay 181 or over, you will be liable for any monies remitted into the country for the whole year.

@Chris ****

going by all the other types of visa financial proof requirements, the 500k has to be a physical cash amount in a recognised institution. Eg BOI wont accept crypto or share portfolios as proof of income, and unless pension/income documentation is certified by an embassy this is not allowed. (Most embassies will not certify now). Bank statements are the normal acceptable documents.

2 boarder runs to cover 365.

At CW they do require a new copy of your marriage certificate each year (not the pretty part) that you and your wife will have to get from the Amphur before applying for your extension.

@Rob ******

on the face value of your trips, you are trying to live in Thailand and visiting Australia, (90 v 60) repeatedly which causes the problem.

@Mick ******

by the law, yes for 3 months (as its in English), but in reality the police and dlt may give you a hard time if you dont have a supporting IDP from your home country. IDPs are a standard layout and are easy for non English authorities to understand, where as national licences are all different and not easy to interpret. Many police officers will insist you should have an IDP and that you are in the wrong, (but I have never seen any evidence of an official fine being issued for not having one and all other things are in order). However some insurance policies stipulate you must have a supporting IDP.

@Bonnie ******

not at airports, (unlike land boarders with a limit), airports are more interested in the pattern and length of stays.
