Jomtien usually goes it alone and does some strange things. At least Bangkok Immigration are fairly consistent

*sigh* It is from the bank

The printed bank statement is allowed in Bangkok. No need for bank stamp, as the statement is verifiable by the bank book. My last extension two weeks ago was an absolute dream. 45 minutes in and out!

@Pete ******

The 12 month statement you can get via the app. You order it and it's emailed within a few hours. Brilliant new facility

@Stephen ********

Use the app to order 12 months statement. It's emailed to you within a couple of hours

You get 60 days already without a visa. No need to extend

@Bill ********

Just as easy to do yourself and save a stack of money!

You don't have to use the same bank but make sure you do an actual transfer of the 800k from bank to bank. If you withdraw the money you are breaking the continuity chain

I was here for the whole shebang. Living in Bangkok but travelled extensively during that time. Bangkok was easy. Bars were paying off the police and operating behind closed blinds. Cowboy and Nana were closed of course, but a few choices in 8 and 11. Had four days in Cha-am. It was good. Brought our own booze and stayed in a unit with large balcony opposite the beach. Beach was deserted. Great times! Great beach restaurant at the north end of Cha-am beach where the owner was happy to serve beer and wine!

Nope. Travelled extensively. Just had to register journey on an app, give a good reason (visiting sick relative 😆), stopped at province checkpoints, they checked the app, took a photo of the car, and waved us through. Too easy. Some bars were open in lower Sukhumvit, others serving alcohol in milkshake containers! Good times! In Rayong the beach bars served the beer in bottles no problem. Even flew to a couple of places, just had to show vax certificate and they checked temperature before boarding and in the destination airport on arrival! Loved the tranquility. We stayed at a hotel at Chao Lao beach, there were only four rooms booked out of about 80! Restaurant on the beach we were the only customers, so we had eight waiters looking after us! Car hire was dirt cheap, hotels cheap. Rented a room for two nights on the Chao Phraya opposite Wat Arun for 600 baht a night - now they're back to 3600 a night! Good times! I'm probably one of the few who enjoyed covid, but I certainly was not locked down or locked in anywhere!
