agreed, but I've decided theres no advantage getting a long stay visa because the longest stretch for me in Thailand is 4 months and so TR visas are all that I need

I spend 4-5 months a year in Thailand (2 trips), intended to open an account this trip but have come to the conclusion there is really no benefit. I brought enough cash for first month and then when I need more I just do a TW transfer into my GFs account, she then withdraws cash as I need it. Having my own account is really no extra benefit. Also I believe most banks charge an annual fee for ATM access. For me I'd only do about 4-5 WDs a year so not worth the 200THB fee.

just start coughing and complain of loss of taste

Just left, was there for my covid extension (2nd visit). Got my # @11:20, done @11:40.....oops sorry I was at Chang Wattana. They actually called me 2 days ago to advise the switch of locations, though I already knew due to this group

Ya make sure phone is unlocked. Canadian providers are required to do this at no cost.

Hi my 30 day extension goes to April 23, my flight home is May 6.....so I plan to go this week to get the covid extension. Please tell me they won't give "under consideration" and then have to come back in 10 days? Surely they can just issue the extension on the same day?

I was there on Thursday and asked if I could get the 60 day extension without first getting the 30 day since I only need 42 days. They said No I have to get 30 days first. So I have to go back in 2 weeks for a second extension

yes, I use WhatsApp for most of my calling (friends, family, clients), but Skype is good for calling businesses, banks, government offices etc (especially govt because often you are on hold for ages)
