@Ralph ******
you will probably get 2 x 60 plus 30 days which is 6 months then told to get a long term visa or bye bye 👋

@Ralph ******
How are you a tourist if you stay 1 year ??? Which is what a tourist visa is meant for .
Malcolm *******
Because over the last few years since they extended the 30 visa free days to 60 , many have abused it to live in Thailand instead of for tourism which it is intended .

You do not go to the British Embassy , you have to use VFS. They are in Bangkok and Chang Mai .

Not a chance will you be able to open a bank account from overseas.

You are obviously a tourist and unless you have a history of multiple entries over the last year , not a problem 👌

I have been with UOB in Pattaya for over 15 years and know the assistant Manager very well . She told me they can't open a new Bank account for any foreigner without a long term visa . Instructions from head office .
