I’ve been to Thailand three times and soon to be the fourth. I’ve never been asked nor have I ever heard of that. I was just there from -. Of course I always order TB ahead of my travel. I always have much more than that, I have never been approached for anything and I’m a blond American lady. Having nice crisp new bills avoids many hassles, as Thai banks are very particular about the condition of foreign money. On one occasion I tried times and was rejected. A Thai friend had no problem, so beware.

I received mine within 30 days. Nothing since. I would check on it asap if I were you. Why did you wait so long? I applied to Thailand from the US, or May have been less time. Told it could be 6-8 months until exam and interview for my fiancé in Thailand.

Consider giving up that nasty habit!!!

You sure will, nothing to be embarrassed about. When you book your flight just note you need assistance. I just came back in February after two months in Thailand. Best thing I ever did for myself. Also you may want to request a bulkhead seat. A lot more room.

Just don’t smoke and Save your life and money.

I traveled recently with three months worth of five scripts in carry on. No questions no problem.

When you book your flight, ask for assistance. A wheelchair will be waiting. Help with luggage and take you where you need to be. I just completed a 17,000. Mile round trip alone for the first time. First group on and assistance every stop. Loved it I’m 80. Was scared to travel alone, not anymore.

If you have regular income in the US , investments etc. many will not direct deposit . When you open a Thai account use Bangkok bank. Reason being they are the only bank that will allow this service because they have a branch in New York. I’ve researched it recently, I suggest you do the same. Just another detail you may not have considered. This bank is the largest in Thailand. By researching you will find all the details.

Now get rid of the Thai pass 😂. I traveled December 15 thru February 1. I want to go back with my guy this fall. Won’t go unless they lift it. Yay insurance is now 10,000. Going going gone.
