I have heard from other men whose Thai wife won the english lottery and now they are rich. Now they end up sitting on the beach together and never have to work again. ;)
I was told, by the immigration officer in Bangkok, they give me a residence certificate provided my (hotel) TM30 shows at least 15 days of stay.
No extension required.
As we were going to the village after a week I decided not to bother.
Went to immigration in Sakon Nakhon together with my wife and her sister (who had a house ook and my wife was register in this book). The immigration lady did the TM30, did not require me to fill out any form, just sign what she filled out. She asked for passport photos and when I didn’t have any she used her phone to make one.
Then I asked for a residence certificate to open an account. She did the paperwork again, made me sign and pay 100 baht. Done.
I went to SCB and they gave me loads of shit. Then went to Kasikorn and 1 hour later I had 405k in my own bank account.
Yep. Enough reasons for their ex-wives to properly undress them financially. Goes to show that those men must have been excellent husbands (by average)… or not??
Yeah, I was writing. Takes time, you know. Feel free to criticize me once your languages are half as good as mine. 😉
Anyway, if women decide to leave those men with bad experiences, and they stick with the men with positive experiences, then it would be safe to assume that the latter are on average better men. Just my 2c. 🤣
