no doubt that was the reason. But I'm not sure how staying for 5 months has anything to do with a conversation about going in and out more than 6 times in a year. I was responding to the idea you are saying things have changed "big time".

@Nigel *************

been in by air 7 times each year the last 2 years in a row and never stopped at all.

@Peter **************

just block them, if everyone did that they'd only be talking that way too each other. I hardly see them at all anymore.

@Brandon ***********

hopefully you don't ever have any issues. Thinking about it even Thais laugh when talking about the ridiculous contrast between transfers simplicity and every other service in the Thai banking system. They'll commonly transfer a person's entire life savings off to scammers at the drop of a hat, but ask them for the information about the account they just sent your life savings to and you'll lose hours of your life trying to get it. If you ever do, which isn't likely. It's quite insanely baroque and antiquated.

@Ivan ***********

I've always done it that way and never understood the fees everyone was paying until now lol

@Brandon ***********

transfers are ahead, nothing else is, commonly have to go back to the original branch you opened the account at for various basic services. Or try to close a loan and get a title lean released, it can take weeks for a 2 minute job.

@Lynnette ******

and the requirements for a tourist visa are low

It's one of the most visited cities in the world, why are people surprised that there are lines during the busiest time of day??? The other 16 hours of the day it takes maybe 15 minutes tops.

@Todd ********

it's for US citizens on USD held on wise(technically held by jp Morgan) and only about 4.3%.

@Jer***

555 I didn't say I stood in line, I've just seen the line many times. And the people backed up in line to the main terminal area. I just walk up to the drop off area and grab a taxi there as someone else gets dropped off 😉 never waited longer than 2 minutes.
