thank you Brandon. If multi entry Non-O is expired when you return?

A good monthly salary for a Thai is 25,000 baht per month, if both husband and wife work income of 50,000 baht per month which is very good. $3k is double that.

@Charlie ******

have fun, Thailand is worth the small hassle too me.

For simplicity I just pay a little extra each time in renew/extend my non-o (retirement) visa to include multiple (mind you big boss has to sign, sometimes will have to hold your passport to complete). I Don’t want to bother with in and out so I can go in and out whenever I want.

I sent two small boxes sent GIFT category. 1st box 11.5"X 9.5"X 4.5" 3LB 6OZ declared value $60 (Shipping cost $68.65). Thai papers had 1,900 Baht value, 1.5KGM. Had to pay 540 Baht total (380? + 160?= 540 total). Second slightly smaller and lighter box declared value $50.00 (shipping cost $50.15), was only charged 21 Baht. Don't know why the difference.
