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
