thanks for the comment, this is the second time I've heard this today and will probably end up the way I go about it. Do you ever get pulled to one side and asked about it by immigration staff? If so has it increased since they changed it from 30 to 60 days, a few people have said that they have become a bit stricter.

he is approaching 8 months now. The mother and I are actually still together and have been for 6 years

@Tod ********

thanks for the info. It's been a bit of a hard couple of years with COVID, her being pregnant, not working, me changing jobs to a job that didn't pay for travel and then the cost of all the baby stuff after he was born, so now since I've started a new job that is paying for my flights it may be time to take them on a little trip and go for the non O.

@Chris *******

that's good to know cheers. I always kinda wanted to have the correct visa and avoid trouble but if being on the birth certificate will afford me an easier time doing with some stuff maybe I'll just continue to use the visa exempt as well and maybe spend my time trying to get my son a British passport so I can bring him to the UK a little easier. Thanks for the help!

Twin Peaks Sukhumvit Suites had some 2 bedroom apartments it was above your budget but it's only a couple of minute walk away from Terminal 21 and the Asok BTS station.

If you can prove you sent him the money you can take him to court and sue him for the money. It doesn't always go in favour of the Thai, my girlfriends sister lost a court case to her foreign boy friend and she needs to pay him back a large sum of money, they are taking her home to pay him back. That being said, I imaginr you're gonna end up spending more than 70,000 on solicitor and court fees.

It's true, you generally get a worse than advertised exchange rate if you aren't changing £50s
