@Durrant *******

how about just comparing in Thailand rather where you come from which is completely irrelevant - some Thais get 200baht a day in Issan - now do your comparison 🙁

Don’t forget you hv to hv a 5G capable mobile and be in the area of a 5G tower signal - I use a True mobile sim for last 5 years - currently 70GB per month allowance - free true to true calls for approx 1200baht per year - using mobile as a hotspot will use more data than direct and the hotspot mobile device will get very hot - downside need to change mobile number every year - to get round that my original tourist number is kept alive and forwards calls / messages to current number - saves changing with bank etc

mainly use line / messenger for calls

my previous 5 were all in schedule - seems to impact offices out in the sticks - no reason given only fb theories about more checks required or workload increased now covid ended and not enough staff - just relieved to get it finally done and not be in no man’s land for a few weeks

65 day for me this year - same challenges - not uncommon it seems from the various forums this year

Not new - required for many years

you really shouldn’t believe everything you are advised - perhaps should hv come here first - BKK bank account 30 mins - if you are worried about travelling 25km in Thailand you are not going to see much of it !!! Once you use an agent you are stuck with that method - do it the right way and there are no problems - queues are queues - get used to it
