I showed past 3 months bank statements.

ThoughtfulLychee5096 I respect the laws and rules of a country that is letting me stay for few years. I knew before that I wont be getting a bank account. That’s purely an issue that has a workaround (Wise app for example) but not a serious problem to be concerned about. Agreed that its a tourist visa, but it helps me build a routine, mingle with locals and learn Thai culture without having to be worried that I am going to be there for a too short period. In short, that’s not a tourist visa, but an “explorer” visa in my point of view.
