@Sarah *****

utter nonsense.

Let me guess, you think we speak with an accent like 'corr blimey, strike lite maaaaate' too!

You can buy any food in the UK including Thai food in thousands of restaurants and take away places.

@Janelle ****

uninformed comment, of course it is not.

If you believe the nonsense on the Internet you will think that all British people eat is beans and fried breakfasts!

You can get food from pretty much anywhere in the world in most places.

The food in the UK is good quality with excellent restaurants everywhere. Of course if someone wants trashy food they can find it, the same as the USA.

You will need to make an appointment at the DLT.

Had a Ford a few years ao, absolute junk. I drive Toyota in Thailand.

Check that your immigration office accept the 65,000 method, I have read some are reluctant.

I opened a second account to solve the problem of having many pages of transactions.

You can avoid the withdrawal charge by withdrawing the money inside a bank.

@Tony *********

same applies though Tony, he can avoid the 220 baht charge by withdrawing inside the bank large or small amounts (depends if they want the convenience of a local ATM or are willing to queue up in the bank for a few minutes).

@Tony *********

he can avoid the fee by withdrawing inside the bank.

You will need the bank letter for the extension in Hua Hin.

I opened my account in HUa Hin and for my extension a year ago,I did it at Sriracha immigration and the bkk bank did the letter there without any questions asked. I would say if they refuse, tell them you want to transfer your account, but they will not want to do this.

@Robin *******

yes you are correct, but I guess if they can't afford 800k should they be in Thailand? What happens if they have an emergency?

I point out the risks, because some people will not realise they exist.

18,000 seems cheap, never seen anyone quote that amount before. I was quoted 30,000 just to get the visa using my own money (I never intended to use them, I was just curious).

As Brandon stated it is against the law and if the immigration officer is investigated, all of the visas wrongly approved are cancelled (yes this does happen). So you would have paid about 30,000 baht only to have to leave Thailand. Your choice.
