What can I do about my passport filling up with immigration stamps while traveling in and out of Thailand?

cool. Before Covid the pages were filling up fast. In Vietnam I asked if they could use an existing page with room. Had it prepared…so they stamped me on a new page to put me back in line lol.

I would like to know how to get officers to stamp on a page that already has stamps while not alienating them or risking rejection. Let us know if you figure out the right words and action to do this.

What interest can I expect on bank accounts in Thailand for my visa requirement?

Chris ****

If you open a credit card account they will hold funds against the card. Those funds can earn interest after one year (about 225 basis points at the moment). Ask your bank about it.
