Do you enjoy talking out of your asshole? Some kind of kinky experience? Because all you're talking is bullshit

@Robert ********

The funniest ones were the Cheap Charlies who couldn't get into Thailand during covid. They were bleating "let us in, we have money to spend, we can help save the economy". Now they're back, they're complaining about a 5baht increase in beer prices, and the 20 baht luggage fee in taxis from the airport. And best of all the 300 baht "tourist tax". Now we get "well I'll be going to Cambodia in future"! Yeah. Save the economy. Thailand doesn't want or need these tight-asses

@Marc *******

All that aside, do you know the hoops which Thais have to jump through to even get a visa? My lady has to provide letter from her employer stating position, length of service and salary, bank statements, land title deeds and details of immediate family, and pay around $1000 AUD for the visa. She can't just turn up at the airport and get a free 45-day stamp!

I agree 100% with

. I'll just reiterate what he says in that it's very useful to take a Thai person with you when you open the account. Even more useful if they have an account with the same bank, even moreso at that branch. Keep in mind also there's a few forms that need signing which are invariably in Thai, so it's good to have someone to explain exactly what you're signing. I believe the branch at the Bangkok Bank HO in Silom as they have a specific international section where they all speak English. Try to avoid the insurance deal, as it's not particularly good, but they like it as they get the commission

Because backpackers believe they are the lifeblood of Thailand! 🤣
