It was a lame attempt at humour :) You might remember it was a hot topic a while back.

First I discovered my Danish bank would only allow me to transfer ~100k baht pr day ( => 6xFees!) So, that delayed proceedings. Second, as mentioned, I made the mistake of transferring to my Thai account first. I'm generally very ok with Bangkok Bank. But they were NOT helpful about facilitating the transfer to Thai Elite. And that part also cost quite a bit more than expected. All in all. I hate banks :)

I'm not even sure. But you do loose a lot on exchange rates and fees. Plus, again, as noted above, transferring to my bank here first was a clear mistake.

Yes. Plus bankers using me to finance their xmas party strippers.

Being a tourist, I know I probably would've been covered by the "amnesty" through July. But beyond that I would be running out of options. As noted above, it would be marriage or this.

Not pointless if you're inside the country.

Very nice, thanks! When did they introduce this scheme?

There's probably a lot of variables here. My point is it would be a good idea to investigate if one has a desired time frame.

Plus, as mentioned, I should've just transferred directly from Denmark to TE. That was a mistake.

I think my only other option at this point would be marriage. And I'm definitely not rich enough for that :)

Might be jinxing myself here. I'm fairly certain the TE conditions has been stable since they started the program.

And I'm not rich, btw.
