Sounds like you are planning to be one of the rule breakers, and unfortunately, like many Chinese, they think it is OK to not respect the law. This is why legit Chinese businessmen have to suffer because of too many Chinese in Thailand thinking the law doesn't apply to them.

In case you are Chinese ethnicity and/or targeting Chinese tourists, be particularly aware that the Thai government has specifically been cracking down on Chinese tours, as Chinese tour operators are frequent offenders.

not true, they accept passports as ID. The issue is what visa you hold. They accept Non-B with work permit, or Elite visa, for example. Multiple people I know, including myself, qualified and re-qualified, and none of us have Thai IDs.

Completely wrong information. The 2 options for Americans are either 60 day free visa exempt entry (which is NOT a visa on arrival. Visa on Arrival is a different entry scheme where some nationalities must PAY to buy a visa on arrival granting a 15 day stay). OR Americans can buy a tourist visa/e-visa that also grants the exact same 60 day stay. There is no 90 day e-visa. The visa has a validity period of 90 days to use it to enter the country, but grants a 60 day stay once used. Both visa exempt entries and tourist visas can be extended 1 time to get the extra 30 days. In most cases, there is no reason for an American to get a tourist visa since a free visa exempt entry grants the exact same length of stay.

Do you really have an actual single entry tourist visa, which grants a 60 day stay per entry? This visa is largely irrelevant for most people, now that visa exempt entry gives a free 60 day stay to 93 different nationalities, including Brits. Unless you have a special situation where you needed a tourist visa, just enter via visa exempt entry by just showing your passport and being stamped in free.

you're wrong but you don't care if every single person commenting is telling you the same thing. I will join in because hopefully if a few dozen people all say the same thing that you are wrong, you'll finally back down.

It's not confusing at all. Sounds like you need to read an article on the Thai addressing system. The main address for your project or development is 19 Soi 5. Your specific unit is #1. This could either mean you live in house #1, or for condos, in apartment #1. In other countries the address would be written more like 19 Soi 5, Unit 1.

@Vural *****

you have no idea what you are talking about. Every time you check in at a hotel, they report your stay to immigration. You wouldn't have any reason to be aware of them doing it, but it's wrong to say it doesn't need to be done

there are no direct flights to Thailand from anywhere in the USA, since Thai Airways stopped the route a few years ago.

It's a feature of all Thai bank accounts. Launch the bank's app, click the scan to pay function, and it instantly fills in the recipient bank info to do an instant transfer from your Thai bank account to theirs.
