Am I over or under budgeting for a 6-month stay in Thailand?

Matty ****

We live here full-time and we spend around $5,000 a month. It does not include our housing..

Many other expats will tell you a similar ballpark estimate..

I would say $2,000 a month is too little.

And keep in mind one bad night in a bar can cost you $1,000. 😂

Learn the country and stay here for multiple years before you even attempt to open a business

What is the quickest nearby country for visa processing if I'm currently stuck in Thailand?

Matty ****

@Luit ****************

most of the people coming on Visa exemptions don't have much money

That's why they want to sell the new Visa policies..

I just saw a post today of a guy asking if he could live in Thailand for $800 a month

.. the average tourist is much more broke than you would think

What type of visa should I apply for if I want to start a business in Thailand with my Thai girlfriend?

Matty ****

I have friends that own bars and are looking to get out of them as quickly as possible..

Employees stealing money, customers that don't want to pay their bills..

Ask anyone that's been here for a long period of time and they will tell you this is very bad idea.

What should tourists know about entering Thailand under recent stricter visa rules?

Matty ****

I have two friends that were denied on their second exemption entry.

Another one that was warned that he would not be allowed in again after.

They want you to pony up and get a real Visa

What should I do if my Wise account is closed due to suspected fraudulent activity while trying to send money to my wife?

Matty ****

@Nikki ********

Bank of America will wire to a thai bank account for free, and since they have a branch in Bangkok they can send Thai baht directly.
