Abel Ka off of the top of my head...an invite letter from the Thai spouse, marriage records/certificate, and then just the normal visa stuff. But that's just for the 90-day non O. For the 1 year marriage visa, you need to get into the country with the non O, open a bank account and deposit no less than 400k baht which must be in the account for 2 months before applying for the 1-year marriage visa which will require proof of relationship, marriage records, photos of you in front of and inside of the place you live at together which must match the TM30...and probably other things I'm forgetting.

Go to Laos, not Vietnam.

I don't. I make a list of places I wanna check out, get a hotel for 5 days when I arrive, and tour everything myself

I honestly thought it would be more than that.

Yup, this exact situation absolutely fucked me a few months ago. 3 months later, my accounts are still frozen.

I will be draining my account and switching banks after this

a look, another loser boomer whose life has boiled down to being a dick on Facebook.

You have real "my adult children no longer talk to me" energy.

So sad what people become.

100% agree. July is by far my favorite time. Everything is lush and green and the occasional thunderstorm is thrilling.

Been without hot water in Thailand a dozen times now. Never once did I think of going online (onto an unrelated forum no less) to ask people where I can complain.

Just enjoy your vacation in *checks notes* Pattaya ..ugh

@Henry ********

you are NOT guaranteed to be seen if you arrive just before lunch. It very much depends what visa you're after/extending. I have most definitely had to come back the next day because I dared arrive at 11am

Honda click is fine for most hills. The Scoopys suck though
