that’s the easiest way. But you can do it yourself too but might be denied in the 40-50 first branches you walk into, and will probably have to buy their insurance for 5k baht which is what an agent charges you. So agent is easier choice.
well I give you a point there about free farang money. But let’s wait and see if and how heavily enforced this mandatory will be before running off to pay taxes they might not ask for.
I only say it’s rarely asked for, if you know Thailand as well as I do you would know they have MANY laws and mandatories that is never enforced. For example is prostitution illegal.
