What essential items from the western world should I bring to Thailand that are hard to find?

Eric ****

For me it's everyday household items like dryer sheets and one time use dusters. I use disposable swiffer dusters in the US and you can't find them here. Disposable toilet bowl cleaners. My thai friend tells me it's because of eco friendliness. Makes sense. Those are the things I miss the most.

What are the best Muay Thai or Boxing schools for DTV in Bangkok?

Eric ****

I got mine through Fitfac. The price might be on the higher side but they have multiple locations which makes it convenient. But you can't go to any gym you want. You have to pick one and they let you change gyms once.

What has been the experience of applying for the DTV visa through the Los Angeles Thai consulate?

Eric ****

I did. I think it took about 2 weeks. I did soft power, muay thai. Didn't request anything additional. It was pretty easy and straight forward.

What is the bank balance requirement for applying for a Thai visa, 500k total over 6 months or per month?

Eric ****

I showed the most current bank statement that showed more than 500k. Just one. I didn't put 6 together in one PDF like other people did. Once you attach one document, you can't attach anymore. I still got approved from Los Angeles.

Am I eligible for the DTV if I won't have 3 months of bank statements showing 500k?

Eric ****

@Caribou *****

I'm not sure but I would have 16k just in case. They're rejecting applications over the smallest details. I wouldn't give them any reason to reject your application.

Am I eligible for the DTV if I won't have 3 months of bank statements showing 500k?

Eric ****

I only submitted one most current bank statement in Los Angeles. I didn't have an option to attach more documents. I applied through soft power and got approved without being asked for anything additional.
