Saw this a few days ago. Remain hopeful but once again, not super clear

Same, I also applied for remote work, and provided all documentation and says employment prohibited. Freaked me out at first till I did my research 😅

Pacific cross is solid. But reach out to Thai expat Health or Pacific Prime and they can help you get the right plan.

Things to be sure of

●Direct billing- Ensure the insurer offers direct billing with hospitals to avoid upfront payments

● Coverage area- up to you whether you want coverage just in thailand or across multiple countries

●Make sure they are aware of your pre-existing conditions as you don't want to deal with denial

It was more less and agreement with you that people who take the language route should know the language. Wasn't bashing you. Shouldn't assume ill intent all the time.

Just don't overcomplicate it. Felt like my Non-o was more challenging than the DTV. Just look up which embassy in the US your state belongs to, and follow their guidelines

I mean, you are learning from the country that muay thai originated in with some of the best training in the world for it. Just a regular cheap gym in SC is charging 170$ a month and its not even a muay thai specialty. So just a couple hundred more you can experience the true version of strictly muay thai with highly experienced coaches. Not sure what you mean by "so typical" either.

1. If you cannot afford a few hundred dollar course, then likely shouldn't come to thailand on a muay thai visa.

2. Do some deep research about the schools and don't just look at the price tag. It's always about quality and value. Looking for the cheapest deal is not what I would advise.

3. Make sure muay thai is what you really want to do. No different than choosing a study or elective.

4. Lastly, seems like you don't know where you want to live. Hua hin is very different than bangkok. IF you haven't been to Thailand you should visit first and do research. If you have been, I would focus on the areas you would enjoy living in. Personally, Bangkok is cool for a weekend visit but I rather live in the outskirts in peace.

Well I mean, If you are here on a language visa, you should in fact know the language. I'm not even on a language visa and I speak a decent amount without schooling

Did that with Laos, but next time, I'm staying for a few days 🤣 Cost near 100$ (my son needed a visa too because not citizen yet.) we had a tour for 5 hours till returning to thailand.

I believe you have to apply at a certain one depending on your residence state. For us in Florida, it was the Washington DC branch
