Only 20 something posts in the last 30 days about this and all of the difficulty and account closures, and not even agents can help.

And there’s also inconsistent, unverifiable information, and it doesn’t bother me that the posts are anonymous. Do y’all think this is my name?

But at least there’s a label to my questions and answers. Give people the same courtesy.

Thank you! This is what I needed to hear. I’ll look into it.

Earlier today, I spent some time on google maps and found a cluster of hotels which looks like a business park of some kind. Has a 24h restaurant nearby. Didn’t see a street name. Just off of highway 32. Nothing exciting but it gets the job done.

Cool. Didn’t know about that place. Flight is with AirAsia and lands at 21:15

Thanks. Right around 2000. If I was bringing my partner, she'd really appreciate it.

Looking at late July near the airport. Only spending one night there. Nothing fancy. A room and a place to get something to eat at night within walking distance.

@Mar***
, renovating your own or gf/wife home is the absolute tiniest of risk when we talk about working without a work permit.

Going to a school to volunteer and be publicly facing poses a risk. This is a job. A regularly scheduled commitment.

However, that doesn’t mean you’re not allowed to do other charitable deeds.

For example, there’s a Chiang Mai Clean City movement and foreigners can and do show up to their events to help beautify the city with trash removal.

After the flood in October, many foreigners were helping locals with cleaning and other tasks.

This is not “work” that would get someone arrested in a group photo, fined, possibly jailed and deported.

I get it. Things change.

At least you’re among us lucky ones who have a Thai bank account. That’s something to be grateful for.

What’s a day’s worth of interest on that amount?

Example: It’s less than 150฿ if you’re moving equivalent of 1MB and you earn 5% interest per year.

How busy is your life that you can’t wait “less than 24 hours” for a transfer?

PayPal always gives the ‘money in minutes’ option for a small fee but I’m not sitting on a dealer’s sofa waiting to score. (Nor am I implying you are.)

Why is seemingly everyone hooked on INSTANT? Especially in a country that demands patience?

I’m sure you’ve got your reasons.

Share their contact info. Agents aren’t allowed to self promote but I’m asking for their details. Thank you.
