I’m a diver so Samui is obvious for me but Chiang Mai is a bit less expensive overall. But as mentioned the smoke gets pretty bad in the north because it’s also coming from Myanmar and Laos.

Fwiw I’m in Khon Kaen and one thing I see a lot of is families and children.

Warning, keep your dog close and confined. Soi dogs run in packs and can be dangerous.

welcome to Thailand! Rules, requirements for a multitude of things vary province to province, branch to branch, etc. 😇

Do you have a lease? Technically the property owner is obligated to complete the tm30 as a checks/balances process. I had a similar problem but in my case the property owner essentially was overwhelmed by it all. 🙄

If you have a lease, passport with visa and you complete a tm47, immigration might be able to help you.

Wow, I have no useful answers but feel for your difficulties. 😔

Listen to the people who are saying non-B visa!! The rules are very deliberate and strict, you CAN NOT WORK in Thailand with any other visa and risk not only deportation but YOU will be held accountable and the remote possibility of even being arrested, though deportation and restriction is more likely.

Not being anything but deliberate. Seems like not the best place to ask about Canadian entry and visa requirements. Thailand itself has nothing to do with it. It appears a Canada Visit Visa is mandatory when planning a trip to Canada.

I see your point but hasn’t really been my experience. Exchange isn’t exactly for that day but most of the time pretty close. But I do see your point. 👍

@Todd ********

expensive? I think the receiving Thai bank charges 150B fee, origin bank zero. Doesn’t seem expensive to me? 🤷‍♂️
