@Mark ******

they take your biometrics every time you go through immigration.

I have used Chase and BB NY office for transfer several time. It is domestic transfer here and automatically becomes international transfer in my BB account.

Money arrived in about one day.

No.

But the reward is you get to live in Thailand year after year.

Not bad huh?

Thank you for this very detailed explanation.

To those who wonder if it’s really necessary: look at this 20K as an insurance policy and a source of cash if your ATM is not working.

To those who cannot afford 20K: stay home for now and work longer.

To those who want to argue: have a nice stay in detention……

Of course. Just the same as USA immigration can see your history.

Thanks for the reminder.

I now have been checking the stamp in the little hallway after I step away from the kiosk. No issues so far with four trips through the airport…..

Why would you leave the secure transit area?

Make sure you use the same airline and book the flights with DMK as the layover?

Your FB page is pretty empty.

Presumably you are from a Western country and are Visa Exempt and not trying to live in Thailand.

You will be stamped in as Visa Exempt for 30 days.

Go out to Cambodia and do it again no worries.

Have a nice trip and don’t overthink this.

Talk to a visa agent and get some information.

Talk to your friend’s hospital.

Also talk to the Krabi Immigration Office.

Sure you can buy food inside the secure area . The food court is upstairs in terminal 2.

Yes you can pay for your food with your credit card.

Menus are in English and Chinese.

Staff speak a little English and are very pleasant.

I was there Wednesday….

The only problem might be if you arrive really early…..like 6 AM.

In that case bring some snacks or a sandwich from home.
