Be careful and don't let anyone regardless if it is here or on the streets scam you a lot of your stuff might have to be taken care of in your country of origin. Because if you get your money taken and you come here and complain about it everyone's just going to call you stupid and then talk about responsibility when they don't know a single thing about it since most of them were most likely born with a silver spoon in their mouth also there's a lot of carpet bagging going on in Thailand right now if you're a US citizen you're not going to have a lot of luck. Make sure you have your stuff situated before you go there nothing makes them angrier if they can't get anything on you. Other than that Thailand is probably the cleaner Southeastern Asian countries and probably the more advanced one enjoy your time there. I've had more help out of Thai people there than other foreigners other foreigners tend to just look at you and then complain when you have something to say about anything. Good luck enjoy your time and I hope you have a wonderful life there there's nothing like a good old delicious Bowl of sweet and spicy massaman chicken curry.

Oh no follow the rules blah blah blah blah blah sounds like you're trying to live here blah blah blah blah blah blah now it's totally dependent on the situation now everyone's completely curious right now it's better to not visit Thailand for one the form here is not going to help you because it's filled with a bunch of white Knights and Simps for Thailand. People that are coming here for marriage are getting screwed over because the country wants you to have thousands of dollars to be put into a bank account in Thailand that they can lock down and take your money at any time like they have done with it then recent months when they change their visa laws FYI laws in this country change about every week or every 3 days as of recently I am just very sorry that you didn't come sooner and get to enjoy it at least long enough to have avoided all of the cold weather everywhere else unless you live somewhere that's just cold constantly.

I was there one week before the Cambodian border conflict and let me tell you everywhere else in Cambodia should be fine but don't mess around too long at the border it's scary scary

Being in love loving someone and marrying someone shouldn't require an absurd amount of money in an account in either country. This is another reason why not to go to Thailand now. Besides with all of the deadly parasites and things that can bite you for just simply wearing sandals causing organ failure it's really just not worth staying here the government can't figure out what it wants to do because of a military coup. Sadly marrying in Thailand and trying to stay there is completely impossible it's almost like the country pimps out its own women using its immigration policy. Unfortunately this is why I think it's best that we start going elsewhere in Southeast Asia until Thailand can get it stuff together

@Kari ******

yeah I know that but you'll be surprised right now I think they're about to change another law it just seems like it's going to be better to come back later for someone in my position I have a family friend who I have came here to see she and her husband have been living here since the 1960s and she has brain cancer her husband's basically been dead for a while but they keep him hooked up he stiff as a bored. I'm guessing they're waiting for her to pass away so they could probably stay together in that regard but it's just too much right now probably will come back later maybe who the work visa or something that way I ain't got to worry as much as I am now kind of came here to try to experiment a little too just to see what it would be like even got to go on a few dates which was great

@Trav *********

stop white knighting for a country you're still not getting laid in

@Kari ******

yes but what rules are you talking about the ones that change today and the ones that changed last week are the ones that changed yesterday it's hard to follow rules that continuously change every few days. Right now Thai authorities don't know what they're doing and don't know what to do. For a while I was starting to see more police presence but now it's gone back down and businesses are shutting down left or back down and businesses are shutting down left and right but that could also be because of the rainy season but I've noticed stuff starting to shut down more and more before the rainy season arrived

@Gary *******

but it's so damn sad though you know😭😭😭😭 out of all the relationships I've ever been in with any other type of women in the world Thai women just let you go like a bird being free from a cage or they just straight up block you. You can pull every trick in the book be as smooth and slick as you can you're never most the time if you find a good woman going to get her to sleep with you in the first night because they actually think about stuff rather than just hop in the bed and have fun like most other cultures I love Thailand and I'll never forget Thai women

@Taleporos *******

oh they've been here since the 1960s they have to have family take care of a lot of their Affairs for them they're about dead anyway the old man he stiff as a board I guess they're waiting for the old lady to pass away before they pull the plug on him but it's sad. I wish I would have came here sooner the opportunity for Visa would have been a lot cheaper and easier but too much is changing in the country as of late

And people want to sit there here in this group and dog about how that's technically against the rule or some other BS because to me that and a border run seems to be no different from me if immigration is going to sit there and let you make up anything then that's the problem with the country not people going back and forth over the Border it's immigration that allows people through.

Every comment section is filled with these kind of ignorant people white knighting for a country that literally doesn't know what it's doing right now.

@Harry ********

because it's enabling Shady business tactics from people from other countries to come in and also break the law in this country which are far different and far worse than those who are doing border crossings even some of the landlords go in and out of the country without proper visas.
