its OR a monthly income of 65.000, OR 800k banked for 3 months.. Not both.. As for the advice to pay 20k for some shady way to get extension, I would be wary of doing that, as they are cracking down on that kind of business, hard..

It doesn't matter how you cross the border as long as you get stamped out of Thailand, in and out of another country and in to Thailand again.

Seems crazy to exchange two times, and loose money on exchange rates and fees two times.. Just take your ZAR with you and exchange in the arrival airport to baht..

Friend of mine changed from a METV to extension of stay based of being over 50 in Buengkan immigration about 6 month ago, he did not have to leave the country.

how can you be overstaing if you used a thai passport to enter? A thai dont need visa to Thailand, correct?
Mikkel *******
Maybe depends on the particular immigration office. I had a friend coming in on a METV last winter, and got a years extension based on being over 50 directly from that in the local immigration office.

I too just carry the thai DL, and in my phone i keep my wife and close family listed as ICE (should be internationally recognized as "in case of emergency) before their name.

should not matter if its an old passport number, if you wound up in an accident they could ID you through it anyway and contact embassy or what not.
