Not quite, you can regularly enter your home country with the 60 days, any number of times, anytime, always from your home country. Officially, you would be taxable after 180 days of stay. So it works as I said To extend the border runs and the non-regular your stay without the right visa. I still enter 3 times a year with 60 days each, there is no problem in this regard.
This does not affect the normal tourist at all. This is only about those who stretch their way to infinity through border runs. You can still enter as often as you like by plane. officially no more than 180 days, then you would be taxable according to the law (without explaining it further). I travel Even every 3 three times, always from my home country and continue to do so as long as the 60 days are visa-free. Otherwise there are the right visas.
That's not right, I travel to Thailand 3 times a year for 60 days each. So never need an extension and I don't get over the 180 days, which theoretically taxable me would do. Nothing has changed there. I always come from my home country.
Regarding the addressed Thai phone number. It must not be a prepaid card but an official phone number in your name, your place of residence is. The telephone company checks completely Exactly your data before you issue the confirmation for the bank. This was also a reason for many account closures, prepaid tariff, or SIM card in the partner's name or similar. The rules are very strict here. And without this confirmation from the cell phone provider, no bank account.
The regulations have been severely tightened. Because many use the Bangkok Bank, there are also the most negative comments. If all documents are completely available,So registration slip, passport, TM30, letter from IMMI, best confirmation of the telephone provider that it is a telephone number in your name ( no prepaid tariffs ), personal appearance on the bank With identification and such things, it is actually possible to open an account anywhere.
