you can book it from the moon if you have wifi signal there 😂. It’s always much cheaper to book about 2 or more months out

book your 2nd ticket from Thailand to the next country you want to go to. It’s better that you book it early as the prices are cheaper. The only snag is it needs to be at 30 days, but you can always change that later. I see that Scoot airline have good prices and a change ticket pricing option if you think you might change the date. Airasia is bad for being expensive with flight changes. You should be more specific on when you are planning for that next country visit though if you want the best advice

To find a border bounce company just google "Bangkok border run" (replace city with where you are).

Here are a list of the the current requirements at Bangkok Bank. If people don’t meet the requirement then some bank branches bend the rules with selling insurance etc

One year ago was straightforward with an embassy letter declaring your address and supply your passport. Now very difficult. Here are the current requirements at Bangkok Bank. Some branches/staff have been known to bend the rules when buying some accident insurance through them. Good luck

These are the latest requirements for Bangkok Bank. This was taped where they have all their forms at head office Silom. Usually has been the easiest locations to open an account before these updated requirements came into effect last year

After 1000 baht fine for 2 day overstay the difference is 900. Its hardly worth trying to save 900 when if you get picked up while on overstay it can cause a lot more problems than its worth. There were recent reports of some people being picked up in the airport terminal itself before getting to passport control. Safer to get that extension IMO.

How long have you been in Thailand in total over the past year? less than 6 months. If so, easily get another 30+30 days stay by using one of the Thailand Border run companys that take you to one of the borders and get you processed out and back in the country. Beyond that you should be looking at a longer term visa. Another possible option would be to be living in two countries in the area for 1-2 months at a time and alternating between them if Thailand isn't a must for you.

She get some security benefits that means if you were to leave her for another then you have some hoops to jump through in order to leave her and maintain your visa here
