The office down stairs in front of the lifts can sort if out for you. As of a few years ago when I lived in Doi Ping Mansion, the only provider they had in the building was Sinet, but that may have changed.

So lets start with the first results from Google.

Oslo Embassy - Foreigners entering Thailand by any means under the Visa Exemption scheme are required at the port of entry to have proof of planned travel (confirmed air, train, bus, or boat tickets) to leave Thailand within 30 days of the arrival date



U.S. citizens carrying a tourist passport and in possession of an onward or return airline ticket do not require a visa to enter Thailand.



I could go on, but a ticket out has ALWAYS been a requirement.

You need a ticket out of Thailand, no necessarily a return ticket. Your airline is more likely to check than Immigration, depending on your visiting history. It is a legal requirement to enter Thailand as a tourist.

While it's up to the Immigration officer, you're clearly not living here with the gaps in travel which is what they often look for.

None of those banks hold retail banking licenses in Thailand. Citi did but exited the market.

I'm sorry to hear that. As others have suggested, there are places in Chiang Mai that can provide care - it's a somewhat growing specialty in the north.

An ED visa requires in person attendance and Immigration does check.

there is demand for Chinese teachers so she might be able to find something.

If your wife gets a job here, you can get a visa based on her employment.

Where are you currently?
