How much money should I leave in my Thai bank account to keep it open when moving back to the US?

Mitchell *******

Best to ask your bank directly. And there may be low balance fees etc as well.

What are the experiences and challenges of long-distance relationships with someone from Thailand?

Mitchell *******

I was. A mutual friend connected us up. We did the online thing for about 6 months. We arranged to meet on my next trip to Thailand, and we have been a couple for the last 5 years.

But I agree that you should be careful. Especially if she lives in Pattaya.

What is the best place to exchange USD for Baht in Bangkok?

Mitchell *******

That part about the exchange rate is a good point. NEVER take the exchange the ATM offers. (Or that hotels offer for that matter.).

Do I need to show onward travel when entering Thailand with a 30-day visa exemption?

Mitchell *******

I have been asked once by the airline flying me, as well as once by Thai immigration. Both pre Covid though. As I wasn't staying over a month anyway, I had them booked already.

You may as well book one of your excursion flights now. Just in case.

Do I need a tourist visa and vaccinations to travel to Thailand from London with Spanish nationality?

Mitchell *******

1. If you have a Spanish passport, you are visa exempt for 30 days.

2. As of now, you need to either be fully vaccinated, or test before arrival.

These and other answers are on the Thai pass website

Where can I find Tylenol PM in Thailand?

Mitchell *******

Ya, many people wouldn't know what Tylenol is. You need to ask for, or look for "Paracetamol". Or get it translated.

How can I make a complaint about my VAT refund not being received in Thailand?

Mitchell *******

Yeah, you need your passport when you make a purchase. It can be a hassle as you have to have the things checked before security, and get your $$$ after security.

Do UK passport rules for travel to Thailand require less than 10 years from issue date or 6 months validity after departure?

Mitchell *******

I DID read though about someone who had an issue with the extra time on a UK passport while either RETURNING from abroad, or when travelling through the EU. (I can't remember which scenario it was.) You may want to confirm you can return with a passport over 10 years, or fly through the EU with a passport over 10 years.

What factors contribute to the high price difference for flights on June 22 compared to other days?

Mitchell *******

Most likely a combination of different airlines because Etihad isn't flying your route that day. Basically they are saying "choose Etihad on another day, or another airline for that day".
