Can I fill out the new arrival card at the airport when I arrive in Thailand?

Rick *********

yes I agree……and when I came back from Laos last week I had done a new TDAC, but they didn’t even ask for it at customs/immigration. So I was kind of annoyed. But it’s free to do so better safe than sorry I guess.

not by much. My high interest savings earns 4.25% so $425 per year on every 10k invested. So that interest easily pays an agent to avoid all the bs involved with doing it yourself. I am retired to AVOID hassles and not waste my time. 😎🙏😎
