its 5000 now and you need to take their bs bank insurance or else they wont get you an atm card (which yhey charge 4-600 baht more for) all in all it was nearly much more than 5000 by the end of it all, walked out of their bangkok office…
I showed nothing for my Tourist visa but on a visa exempt i got asked randomly for one, the only time i actually bought one in case, used one of those disposable ones, added the booking code in qatar app handed my phone to the officer to check for himself … approved …
it’s still the best, you select your country of origin and where you are going and it gives you step by step what to do and all the documents needed. It’s blocked for me also in thailand, they are using probably cloudflare or something… you just need a vpn
Anything you can buy in canada you can buy here… top things i brought that i can find in Thailand without paying a huge premium. Deodorant, blue hard gel type or similar… they just don’t sell it here, it’s the rollers with liquid gel in them and it’s horrible. Bought a 12 pack at Costco before coming. Same goes for razors, for men feels like they got 2 kinds and that’s it. I like the premium throwaways from Costco… bought like 24+ in a pack.
Sheets, towels, you can buy at Home Pro (patrick morin if you seen them in qc) and thai watsadu (home depot / reno depot) … as for importing your pets use pettravel.com, buy the information package for dogs and cats to export to Thailand… really worth the price, did it myself was super easy and saved me a lot versus using the services in canada 🇨🇦 (like thousands )
exactly or, if you do use a bike make sure to check the price with thai people. In lumpini to get where i need to go is 20 baht, i know it they know i know it. I take it out give it first then get on…
Same ride distance on sukhumvit will cost me 60-100 … bikes qre scams and tuktuk even more. They’ll charge 200 baht no matter where you’re going … at that price might as well book a grab taxi
