Have you asked the questions here or the parent group? There’s a lot of knowledge around these groups.

The only issue I had was having to pay a second time for the application because it was kicked out because my name did not match my passport (though nothing was stated ‘as it appears on your passport’). Literally the first freaking thing. 🤮

They sell short term traveller packages at the airport. Fixed one time price, data/minutes expire in a couple of months.

I have one of these I simply kept topping up on a phone app.

I was going to suggest you reach out to support. But, now that I look I don’t see any support. 🙄

It’s possible they are having problems. But, what little there is, here is the contact.

You can likely ask for a currency exchange at your bank which will likely be a better exchange rate.

Major places will take credit like 7-eleven, lotus’s, big c…etc. but many many vendors will only take cash or pay by phone app which you probably won’t have.

It’s just a print screen of the webpage.

@Heidi *******
the simple answer is you are explicitly disallowed from earning money in Thailand from Thailand and it’s citizens or visitors.

Example for context. I can not charge the person next door for a guitar lesson. But I could be 49% owner of a guitar lesson company. While I could give a lesson online to anyone anywhere else without restriction.

So as was said there are quite probably creative ways to accomplish your intent but legally will likely need some legal support. Navigating the sea of nonsensical paperwork and process takes a strong constitution sometimes. 👍

Considering prices for the top tier is pretty cheap compared to other parts of the world. Personally would be a no brainer but I use bandwidth, most people really don’t and fiber is clean speed regardless of max.

To answer question asked.

Based on pricing, specs and what most people would use most of the time. The

is the ‘best value’ you would likely actually use.

I’m very open to not fully understanding but I’ve never seen how a person could apply for and receive a non-o while not in Thailand at some point? They could come on tourist visa, get a 90 non-o, get a bank account (which requires residence proof). Person asking questions I do not believe has or has done any of that?

Again, maybe I’m wrong?

@John *******
it doesn’t make sense?

Not even sure it’s possible? A person can’t apply for a non-o from outside of Thailand, so issuing one has to be a mistake and may lead to problems. 🤷‍♂️

From where (country) for what uses?

I use Schwab for cash because all fees are returned and at 200+ baht, it adds up.
