Oh that must have hurt, you should still be able to get by ok, unless you like to play the guitar, then you may need to look at alternate fingerings..... for the major chords at least.

it's nice that the common man can also participate in a little corruption. In my country it's only for politicians and big players.

Just play it like you are dumber than them and you'll outsmart them almost every time.

Not sure if this will still work under the new rules but if you were to go into the bank when they are not too busy seeking life / health insurance and just happen to have all necessary ID and visa documents with you, you may very well walk out of there with a bank account because the payments need to come out of your bank account every month, get it? The insurance can easily be cancelled afterwards. Another route is to use an agent. Both methods will cost you. Don't expect a call back, they just humored you by copying your docs just to get you out of there peacefully because they have no backbone and are afraid of confrontation or being challenged.

Check the visa grant letter it will clearly specify the conditions and latest entry date.

Best advice, don't buy the condo, you don't know enough yet

Let them know if you object or feel like you are being exploited, I'm sure they would take your pic down and use someone else's. The Thai script reads "free photo and frame".

Every country has some laws you might not agree with.
