Should my friend send money in Thai Baht or US Dollars when transferring to Thailand?

Wayne ********

I agree sending your transfer in USD is the best way, keep in mind the bank at least Bangkok Bank, where I send my money to my account, will always discount the current rate. The bank takes the difference in what they give you and what the current rate is, I guess is a service fee

Why are there increased checks and interrogations upon entry to Thailand?

Wayne ********

why would you so casually respond to a remark with”so”. Does your country allow foreigners to come and stay as long as they want without a proper visa? I would guess no so why would you be so why would you think it’s OK when it comes to Thailand?

Is US Social Security taxed in Thailand, and do I need to show 800k or 65k monthly income for a Non-O visa?

Wayne ********

The US Embassy for some reason is unable to verify your US Social Security income, and give you an affidavit to that fact that’s why you have to have the money in the bank because I guess the embassy can’t figure it out.
