GREAT ADVICE HARRY

@Koen ******

You’ll be surprised…lol…just find a girl who speaks both languages and will perhaps go to see a few places and negotiate the good price.

Koen. My Thai wife is Thai citizen and USA citizen, and I’am just USA citizen. We live in Bangkok. Looking around I contacted a few condo places in Bangkok. We wanted infrastructure within a reasonable walking distance, close to the BTS so we can venture out. We wanted a one bedroom condo, security building, balcony, nice bathroom. Bedroom separate from living room/kitchen, pool in complex. The places I contacted gave me a Farang Price. Like 12,000 baht. When my Thai wife inquired a day later they quoted 9,000 baht. So yes, be careful, maybe have a Thai do your inquiries. Join ThaiFriendly dot com and hire a girl to help you that speaks for you. We did find a place close to Fashion Island Mall and BTS very close. The mall is modern and very large. Good luck Sir.

It’s not.

Seriously the only cash you should bring are crisp new $100 bills. For exchanging at the various money kiosk. Just exchange enough at the airport to get you thru a couple days then you’ll find a better exchange rate outside the airport. You’ll have an amazing time. 🙏

yes.

@Mary *******

cannot leave the country? Is that Australian law Mary? Wow.

Jasmine. Bring a few extra passport size photos with you, because at immigration (DMV from hell) they will use a glue stick to put your photo on one of the forms. Saves time. Know your address in Thailand and that it’s registered. (Remind the landlord) a passport of course. Get to immigration before it opens because sometimes it’s crowded. The forms they want are in the back of the line. Bring a pen. It’s a two step process, they check your info and give you a number for step two where you wait to go in and pay 1900 Baht. Wait again and you’ll pick up your passport and leave. If you arrive late except them to completely shut down for lunch. If you see an official looking office on the same area it might be a sub contractor that will charge you 2400 baht or some other price higher than 1900 baht and they can’t give you your passport until the next day so you’ll have to visit again. You might want to avoid these places.

Like this one. Royal Thai Police….more money
