I am on my 3rd trip this year. Immigration asked me where I was staying, even tho my address was clearly visible on my TDAC. I added that the address given was my wife’s and I home and that my purpose for the visit is to visit family. The next question was how long I planned to stay which is only 4 weeks in my case.

I think it helped that I had family ties in Thailand.

If I were able to leave a review for this particular immi officer, I would give him a 10. These guys have to deal with all sorts in their job so I can imagine why some of them can be really narky.

Got to remember too that there is a large downturn in tourist numbers to Thailand, so with that in mind, its probably safe to assume that immigration are probably instructed to go a little bit easier.

@Chris *****

your not factoring the really bad exchange rate your home banks only allow gives you in international transfers. They also will charge you a usually large fee for doing that transfer transaction. Then the Thai bank will charge another handling fee.

I advise everyone to do their own research before taking the advice of others on this platform, including mine.

@Dildil ******

some home banks only allow a limited amount to be transferred per day

@Hilik *******

well, if that’s a problem, just take cash.

You don’t need a bank account unless you live there. Get yourself a wise card and just use that to get cash from ATM’s or over the counter at a bank.

bar girls tend to spend a lot of your money for you.

If you a a bloke …. NO

If you are worried about who gets what, then you need to hire a lawyer and let him advise what you can or can’t do. I recommend that he draws up separate wills for you and your wife. There are plenty of Farang lawyers working in Thailand and I can recommend the lawyer I used.

This is the best advise you will get if you are worried about outcomes
