I can't even believe that people take these kinds of questions seriously... a person like this isn't capable of anything near a DTV.

I had similar experiences of plain disrespectful behavior from KrungSri employees (in several branches all across Thailand). I would say they are the most unfriendly, unprofessional bunch of people I have met in Thailand. Eventually I just had enough with their BS. KBank has been a breeze... should have changed earlier.

With your money, you can live like a king here. Just respect the people and culture here, and you have the time of your life! Good luck, my friend.

Check out the new DTV visa! It's a 5 years tourist visa. Even retired people are preferring this Visa because of the low requirements... Don't listen to people who are saying you should work and this and that bla. If you think, you can live comfortably here as a tourist then go for the DTV.

I don't want to bias with Thai people as every country/ culture has its faults. But comparatively, my experience is that Thais are the most peaceful/ welcoming people I have met in my life. As far as not saying a word, I think that's exactly how a society should be, we don't agree with everyone, but we should be able to respect.

After living in Thailand for 8 years, and practically in all major cities, islands etc., I can assure you that you will feel welcomed and accepted anywhere in Thailand. It's a completely different world than what you are used to in the US. As a culture, Thai people don't care about skin color. However, there is a historic tension going on with neighboring countries. And Indian tourists have gotten a bad rep here.

I am not on DTV visa. Just saying... thanks for at least hearing another opinion 🙋‍♂️

It's pure speculation and fear mongering. This is a Tourist Visa and not a non-Immigrant Visa. The fact it's granted 5 years and the initial reason for getting the Visa expires after the first 6 months there is zero reason to believe they care about what you are doing on this Visa other than being a tourist.
