@John ******

whats fishy about a 6 month trip?

As for entry, came and went multiple times, zero issues.

As for bank account I opened mine under DTV (medical), with reason to pay medical bills. Have had no issues with my Bangkok Bank account.

Anonymous participant it’s just 500k…… If you are unable to move a little crypto to fiat you’ll have bigger problems down the road.

@Nelson *****

But how is 24hrs long for international tranfer? What am I missing? The majority of that time it was held by Wise. How is a different bank gonna help?

What kind of delay? I sent a bit over 100k from wise to Bangkok Bank about week ago. Took less than 24hrs. Used to take seconds though, but.

Yes and yes, at least in Bangkok.

@Martin *******

haha, now thats a little mean 😅

Island you say 😳. And here i thought it was a continent….

that depends on your timeline, when you get married etc. You can stay 90 days on visa exemption before you have to leave Thailand. (60 + 30 day extension).

I would personally make sure to have a cancellable /refundable ticket out of Thailand within 60 days of entering. You are also supposed to carry 20k baht equivalent of cash. Though its rarely checked, but officially a requirement.

Also make sure to be able to show documentation of your first few nights of accommodation.

Not trying to be snarky, but where did you drive before where both of those weren’t known?

At least in every European country I’ve driven they exist. Especially «end of restriction».

Drive on either side less common, but still fairly common.

But yes, what Tai said.
