Google Maps is quite helpful as you can see hotels close to train services. MRT/Skytrain are efficient and cheap so no problem staying further out but try and avoid peak commuter times.

Best piece of advice👍It’s a big gamble thinking she’ll be happy settling into a completely different environment and culture without her friends. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.

Why would you require a medical certificate to open a bank account?

You can buy a lot of Leo beer for what you’d be paying an agent to do that you can do yourself. But it’s your choice🤪

All very interesting and entertaining but please enlighten us on exactly what the connection is to the OP’s original post🤔

Safest bet would be to use a border run service. They’ll take you to the border and make sure you get back in. You should be okay to fly out and back in, just make sure you have the three proofs…onward travel, accommodation and 20k baht or equivalent in cash. Immigration are asking more questions of people doing back to back visa exempt entries. Things work a bit different in Thailand than Europe! METV is another option.

Just wait until closer to the time. Nobody knows what the rules will be next week far less December. Could still be 60+30, it could revert back to 30+30, or you do 30+30+border run or tourist visa. Who knows, you’ll get your time one way or another 🙂

Your airline may require proof of onward travel. Check with them.

You normally apply via the thaievisa.go.th. website. I’m not from the US but it should be the same.

Where did you get this list from? This is for the non-OA not the non-O.
