When can I withdraw my 800,000 THB down to 400,000 THB in Thailand after a visa extension?

@David ***********

hmm if I have two bank accounts at the same branch of Bangkok bank and I use one of the accounts often and both show in the app, I wonder if this will be an issue for the static account…

But based on your comment, I just did a small transfer from my daily account to the fixed account. Thanks! 😀

maybe add krabi/ao nang to your list. 2 small international airports near here. I live in ao nang and I am 2.5 hr drive to Phuket airport or 45 min to Krabi airport. But I also liked Hua Hin when I Visited.

What should I do about my visa situation after being advised to apply for a visa due to multiple entries into Thailand?

Melissa *********

when i first moved to

@Love *********

, I entered on a six-month multiple-entry tourist visa which gave me 60day max for each visit (unless I filed for extensions). I found that to work well for me until I get on NonO .
