When I learned English , the teacher didn’t speak my language . It doesn’t matter if the teacher speaks Thai , you just need someone to teach her English like you can do it .

Are you applying for your visa online from the US ? In June 2022 , hubby applied for our visa online , got rejected and we were a week out from flying out to Thailand . Hubby get stressed out easily over paperwork . I took over , looked at it & emailed them , I got mine right away all via email . I just email them all my paperwork & helped him . If you have their email address it helps a lot . We flew in without a return ticket via Japan Airlines . They ask we just told them we are moving forward after Thailand , just don’t know where yet ……

Hubby took a bus to Malaysia from Chumphon or Surat , stay there one day , got stamps and flew in to Bangkok something like that . If u want more specific details I’ll ask him

The only way to find out is to try go in and out and see what happen at the Immigration office ? Or either that talk to a visa agent and they will give you the spills . Educate yourself from more than one source other than social media

no worry about me . I’m not a dumb traveler that travel to a foreign country without some researching 😂 . Been on this earth long enough to survive .

dude I’m not gonna write an instruction manual . I shared my experience and that’s that .

It was easy for me . I was in Chang Mai , walked into Bangkok Bank , asked them as a tourist what do I need to open up an account . I snapped a picture of what I needed , went to Immigration with all my docs and paid 500 baht to expedite the letter and I picked it up next day . You need a TM30 & I got that from Immigration . When I checked in at the condo tel in Chang Mai , the manager gave me a copy that she submitted to the Immigration that I am staying at the hotel . I went to Immigration and sure enough I was register in their system .

That’s messed up . Keep moving forward and keep searching and keep asking where there’s a will there’s a way

, good answer , Better be safe than sorry or better be prepared . Besides what is $10-25 to avoid the hassle at the airport .
