Take highest denomination clean notes of your countries currency and exchange in Thailand. You'll get a better rate than changing in your own country.

Never exchange in Arrivals !

If your flying into Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport head towards the Basement level by the train connection. Kiosks there give a great rate.

If you use cards for money you'll get charged each time you go to the ATM.

If it does revert to 30 day visa exemption which can be extended at a local immigration office for 1900Thb

Until it's in the Royal Gazette, it's not confirmed

If when you go it's 30 day visa exemption, this can be extended for another 30 days at a local immigration office for 1900Thb.

@Neil ********

That is correct, 6 months in Thailand 6 months in UK.

She has to go back to Thailand and reapply again.

Or get a multiple year tourist visa. 2, 5 or 10 year.

On a tourist visa she can only stay 6 months in the UK, back to Thailand for 6 months and then back again.

Start packing.

Never been charged for opening Kasikorn, Bangkok or Siam bank accounts.

They do charge for debit cards though.

You've been scammed !

How did you pay ?

Can you reclaim the money from your Bank or credit card company ?

@Kenny ****

You can get a Temporary certificate of residence from immigration. I got my first Thai Driving licence before covid. Unfortunately that lapsed because of travel restrictions.

My 2nd Thai licence I had to drive around a course showing i could drive, parking, braking, reversing etc, watch 5 hours of videos and then answer 45 correct out of 50 questions. Took my Pass certificate and residence certificate and medical certificate to get my Thai Driving Licence.
