Thanks for your input Sam , like a mirror I will look into it . The false identity will not assist you , I'm giving you some VERY good and obvious advice .

Enjoy your day , but don't take it out on me that you don't like what is an honest answer .

Good luck with your travels , but improve your understanding would be my advice .

No means No ..

And frankly anyone stupid enough to make a declaration on a public forum that they are ' breaking the law ' does not deserve a Visa , nor do they have even a remote understanding of the culture , and should consider another country .

All that being said , with even just a little consideration and with your head down , and " under the radar " , who knows what's going on out there ?

But yes you need 800 k in a Thai bank , and just leave it or 65 k per month International income minimum, it can be higher , it CANNOT as in never , be lower .

WISE ..the ONLY sensible option that is available at this point ,no question .

It's actually been my only ever land border run , but when you do it on the mini bus they've already done all of that ..

Don't need these days , and wouldn't fancy turning up at a war zone , I remember some Farang bringing in piles of cigarettes ( everyone took 2 cartons for them ) and those little kids in ties ( guides ) on the other side ..

An immaculately dress Army guy with an AK-47 , checking though your bags on the boat .

Interesting experience ..

@Danny ******

perfect answer and advice .

@John *********

and that's the joy of it John , the last thing we want it to be is like the Western world .

Like all in Thailand , open to interpretation, Hua Hin immigration is the best , enjoy .

No

Sounds like no problem to me , it's 65k per month , international transfer , EVERY month , minimum, you have done double that and it's an International transfer .

Pros ; plenty of stuff happening , lots a great golf courses , awesome inexpensive food options , close to Bangkok , can live anyway you like , can be super fit or a complete slob , as much Thai or Western as you like .

Cons ; the immigration office arrrggh ( no thanks , so much easier here ) Main beaches are not great , that the ferry to HH is no longer .
