Thanks Robert. I'm not being disrespectful towards you in any way, just trying to understand the protocol . Another person who posted in this thread posted this stamp on their TV which suggests there may indeed be limits on visa entries.

Maybe I'm misinterpreting the meaning of a 'bounce' . So a bounce in his case would be him returning on a visa waiver, from what you are suggesting, and then subject to two calendar year land border entries. I interpretered a bounce as the op leaving the country and then returning on another tourist visa. If so, your announcement does non mention visa conditions.

To quote 'So i got the dreaded red stamp in my last tourist visa.'

Robert Lagas, the image you posted was about visa exemptions. The op is referring to tourist visas

Is it an ICBC Baht account or the equivalent of an RMB mainland China account?

That's not what the English speaking cashier told me today Parmentier at ICBC

Thanks

. I went to both the Bank of China and the ICBC bank this morning to try and open one. To do so, I would need a Thai work permit which I don't have as I'm just on a TV.

Vietnam would be another option as I have friends in HCMC.

I can actually transit for up to 144 hours in Shanghai Charlie. That's what I mentioned in my post.
