Not in Nichada Thani. They'll be right at home.

There's a magical place for people just like you....

No really.

It's an exclusive area of Bangkok/nontaburi called Nichada Thani - it's a "Hollywood movie picture perfect" little America. EVERYONE is American, it's an American school with American teachers, everything is total luxury. EVERYONE drives golf-buggies, they have their own little council thing that ensures all your streets, yards, pools (inside and out) are cleaned constantly, daily, all the street cleaners wave and say Hello as you pass them. Every house has their personal maids/slaves.

(If anyone thinks I'm joking, I'm not. I spent 6 months last year working as a personal full-time English tutor for an American family living in this area - even though the kids probably had better English than mine and they obviously only spoke English at home. Both their parents were working here Orthodontists in American-based Thai clinics. In fact, you can't even Google Street View this region as somehow they seem to have stopped Google ever being allowed in there (for safety?) I dunno how that part happened. But the place is real though.

***I heard on the grapevine less than a week ago this rule has been just changed. I don't know the source, but I remembered it because my wife and I both entered on a 1-way two years ago so it stuck out for me.

@Benjamin *****

isn't joking. The immigration staff probably get 10'000 Thb a month... They have no idea if 10m GBP is alot or the same as 10m VND (which would be virtually nothing at all) - and it's just not Thai culture for them to figure it out logically, it's yours to present it EXACTLY as asked.

Agent. Bkk.

covid extensions are great... My wife and I both arrived on 30-days visa exempt... Then got covid extensions.. Wednesday just gone was 2 years and counting... Hahaha 🤣

It seems like a cheap (but complete) schlong and balls compensation.. like the red sports car on roids with extra wheels to represent extra bollocks.

They have one?

Immigration here are seedy guys.. all you have to do is show them your banana 🍌 to bypass all requirements.
