maybe pay the oversize bag fee on your airline. It’s more than a month via boat

Rent a small storage unit in your country.

That was a service not officially immigration. Some in Bangkok are at the same office upstairs and charge 2400 baht.

2 prices in Thailand. Farang price and the Thai price. At least have a Thai friend negotiate the Thai price and you step in.

exactly correct. My Thai wife does that. She’s also a US citizen. Both passports. We’re both retired and the advantage of US citizenship for her is MEDICARE. Including Medi Cal from California. I’d say yes, get her citizenship in the USA.

@Georgia *******

that form will be in the back of the line. Bring a passport sized photo with you. Hand them your passport and the application and photo and they glue stick the photo and give you a number. Walk 30 feet and wait for your number on a sign board. Give them everything and in about 10 minutes they hand back stamped passports. You’ll pay 1900 baht in cash in the interview office. Get there before they open.

Anna. There are two prices in Thailand. A Farang price and a Thai price. I think they assume Farangs will pay more and as an example I had previously search around and called the condo complex. Price was 15,000 baht. But later in the week when my Thai wife called it was 9,000 baht. Hmmm.

My advice is have a Thai friend make inquiries for you..🙏. Bob

I talk to my kids in the states on Facebook messenger almost daily. For free. Also you Dan download LINE DOT COM and make free calls from anywhere on your old phone as long as you have WiFI.

Wife and I moved to Bangkok from Los Angeles. We brought the normal 2 suitcases and a carry on EACH. That’s it. We leased a one bedroom furnished condo for 9,000 Baht. ($258 USD a month) 6th floor, elevator, balcony, nice refrigerator, new bed, lots of closet space. Tub and shower. Everything modern. We can walk to Fashion Island Mall. No laundry so I splurged on a new combo washer dryer that they installed on our balcony. Many balconies have this unit. She loves it, very quiet. Oh, and a pool on the 2nd floor…

go to Pattaya. Walk down walking street. Have a beer. Find a desirable girl and have fun. Avoid advice from nay sayers.
