I survived there adequately on 15,000 THB a month, but I don't have rent, electricity or water to pay and stay up country in Isaan farming community with zero crime and smiling happy poorish farm people. They can keep the likes of Pattaya for me thankyou.

Get married to a Thai National and let them deal with it all, simple 😁

Multiple entry tourist visa is £150, which you can stretch to get nine months in Thailand. So the £300 for the DTV is good value, as long as you have everything else in place.

@Artis *******

But you have to show you have 500,000 THB equivalent in cash in a bank account to qualify for the DTV visa, plus have to prove if your a remote worker, evidence of your employer/s, payments into your bank account from your employer/s. To qualify for the DTV on the basis of soft power, you also have to show equivalent of 500,000 THB in your bank account. Proof of some sort of training, Muay Thai, cooking courses etc and the training business has to be registered with the Thai business Chamber of Commerce.

Wish there was controls in the UK like the Thais have. The UK is being invaded by young Muslim men with no passports or id and get in and are given free hotel full board accomodation, plus £50 a week spending money and free mobiles and other things like free driving lessons etc. Problem is none of this is FREE, the British taxpayers are compulsory paying for it all and British people in some cases go hungry. Thailand have the right principles, look after their own people only, but welcome legal foreign visitors.

Need at least a work permit they reckon.

Anonymous participant I worked hard fifty years and am not and never was materialistic. My wealth are two part, my good health and my world travels meeting people from different countries and cultures. The difference between my life and the life of rich people is I've met real down to earth ordinary folk, not upper crust types, although I have met a sheikh in Saudi and a multi millionaire in Kensington, from Africa, wasn't impressed with his attitude towards me as I was only a messenger on behalf of the company I was working for and to be fair to him, after I impressed on him that if he had a problem with my company tell them and not verbally abuse me. He did apologise.

Any sort of official document/letter with your name and UK address. Phone contract, electric or gas or any other utility bills.

Crikey, I wish I could of travelled all over Asia and not of worked for a year. Oh! to be wealthy 😂😂😂😂
