Yes. Just contact the Office of Consumers Protection Board for support with this if the landlord/owner is not on board with it. Try with the landlord first. Tell them about the situation.

I did it last year. Tried to talk to the owner and agent. They didn't want to return deposit even though living situation got worse. So I made sure I had evidence. They returned 50% of the deposit, only because the latest laws, nobody is allowed to asked for two months deposit. I contacted the OCPB and everyone was called in to go sit infront of mediator. It took 3 months, but I received all my money from deposits. The owner had a bad track record with complaints.

Work permit and visa goes together. I've just been through the almost the same thing when returning from work trip. Work permit expired while I was abroad. Visa still valid. I got stamped into the country based on visa. When company tried to resolve the work permit, they were charged for overstay from date work permit expired, and I was given 48hours to leave and come back on tourist visa and restart entire process.

agreed, 100% with that.

Always good to have medical insurance. Unexpected events happen when you least expect it.

10 years ago, my first time to Thailand, I also had to show 20,000THB is cash. Few years later, they actually take a copy of the money serial numbers because people in groups used the same 20,000THB.

I have one. Can buy different currencies on it. But as far as swiping the card, it can only be international.

If you're using the phone, don't bother declaring it.
