i live here for 3 years and never missed a bank account. dont have, dont need… having one would not even improve my life by 1%…

@Derek ****

most of that works with a credit card. others with Wise or Revolut. QR payment only with TrueMoney and yeah the only slight downside. dont need a bank account

@Tim **********

usualy its 2k but usualy also not applied.

@Cris *****

in Krabi? not many russians here tbh. its not Phuketsibirsk. and 5mins outside main area in ao nang its already peaceful, quiet and rural. its amazing. stunning nature, beaches, plenty activities and access to all tourist amenities too. best of both both worlds and easy beach town life. dont even need a car here… and immigration you usualy go at 07:20, open 7:30, be the first one and done in minutes. perfect

you didnt explain what mistakes you keep doing to get denied. THAT would actually be helpful information for this group. just put your process in a detailed post so that people can learn… this way its just cry cry cry…

one reason why i live in Krabi

this is wild… pretty stupid to wait out and go into overstay instead of fixing the problem when it occurred… some people really lack common sense, wow… leave the country and take the fine. come back when you/he has a new passport. only option…

@Max ************

not really… its actually a pretty good option. just bring 1000$£€ and for most people thats enough cash for 2-3 weeks or more on a normal holiday. and if you need more, just use the atm. super easy.

Bring cash is the best way.

ATM will cost you 250 baht now per transaction. also not too bad if you take 30k in one go. but maybe your bank charges foreign fee and has a bad rate.

sure but is a tm30 worth mentioning? its like buying fuel for driving a car.
