lol, I’ve been going to Thailand for over 53 years and lived there for 6 years on and off, plus about 27 trips there so far. I’m married to a Thai as well. I just never went the 800,000 TB route.

The person asking was seemingly from the USA. Therefore, I responded using a measurement more commonly used there. If you never heard of ounces or pounds I suggest you look it up.

Tks for your response. I don’t understand why Thailand does not have one standard requirement for the entire country. In the same Immigration Office in Thailand, I had 3 Immigration Officers tell me 3 different requirements for the same issue. That is very frustrating!

yes, we stay in Samrong, Samutprakan when we are there and use their Immigration Office every time as we also have a house there.

Yes it is, I’ve done that a few time and I always do it myself as it’s very easy. However, the last time the Thai Immigration Senior Officer, gave me a hard time saying the transfers to my Thai bank account have to come from a U.S, government agency, not my U.S. bank. I always use Wise Transfer Service to send the $ from my U.S. bank to my Thai bank. The immigration guidance I saw 4 years ago when I did it last said nothing about my transfer coming from a U.S. govt agency to my Thai bank account. He eventually approved it after yelling. I’m thinking maybe he gets a payoff from the agents foreigners pay to do this for them and he was pissed. I did it myself and he gets nothing.

I’m smarter now that I know visum means Visa in your native language, lol. I appreciate your response.
