True Sir. That’s $22,000 USD for me that isn’t productive or useful. 😕

Probably because you look like Bulgarian Mafia. 5555. Just kidding almost. You might bring a girl with you next time. You don’t fit the ‘Tourist look’

By Thai standards. They use facial recognition and they flagged you in-line before you got to the immigration person. Good luck.

@Robert *********

yeah. My adult kids have the photos and other stuff. I sold most of my large gun collection (100 plus guns) etc. tools, etc. moved to Bangkok with 2 suitcases full of clothes mostly. All apartments are furnished anyway. Live next to Fashion Island Mall. Easy shopping.

@Kerry ******

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.

@Sean *********

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 ********

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
