How do you get cash out the bank? Ngern Sot !

Obtw. What I do sometimes when I don’t want my Thai LTGF to know how much money I’m sending to her/my account that I have the card for, I just send 10k Baht to a Thai friend or a shop and get them to give me the cash for 100-200baht fee. No Bank account needed money goes in ‘Gabow Tang’ the same.

It’s EU conformity. It won’t change, why would it. It’s not an issue.

Hi Paul. Sorry for my late reply. I’m just biking it thru Phetchabun.

When I applied for the METV I’m on now which I applied for in Jan 2026 there was a message sent to me that stated that I could apply for it outside of Thailand if I didn’t wish to continue with the one I was currently in the process of doing.

I got the impression from that message that it probably meant either 60TR or the METV I eventually got.

When I got the 60TR in early 2023 in Savannahkhet as I recall it was simple. But then when i mentioned I was going to do another on ThaiVisa I was told it was a one time thing, although they didn’t put the Do not apply here again stamp on it. Actually now I think about it I and told them I was flying in from Cambodia SIA airport and back a month later thinking I was clever so I paid for Emirates refundable for no charge tickets. Then they sent me that message saying they wanted to see I was flying out of the UK, absolute madness. In the message they said if I didn’t provide the flight details for leaving the uk I could cancel the current application and apply in Cambodia at the Thai conculate. Thats the reason I thought it can be applied at thru any consulate outside Thailand. I was then forced to buy a £1500 flight to show I was leaving the UK and connecting to the Cambodia to Thailand flight. I could probably just bought a flight that showed I was leaving the UK to start a round the world tour. When I got it I then had to cancel all flights. The whole thing is ridiculous. If you’re planning on cycling to Thailand from your country you cannot get the METV coz a flight ticket is required.

Hire a car and drive to Mukdahan Thailand park up in the longstay border carpark and exit Thailand over the Mekong bridge to Savannahkhet 🇱🇦 Laos.

Go straight to the Thailand embassy and get a TR60 tourist visa or even an METV 6month. Lots of people do it.
