Chris Graberwithout a visa you run the risk of your airline not letting you fly to thailand in the first place if you do not have some sort of ticket out of Thailand.
nice theory but it’s all do do with the Thai banks not wise. Send to the purple bank and it’s instant every day of the week including weekends if I send to Bangkok bank over the weekend it won’t arrive till Monday.
You go to immigration after your arrival and get a 30 day extension. At the moment you get 60 days on arrival but by next year that may not be the case. So you need to keep an eye on it and get a 60 day tourist visa (maybe get one anyway to be safe, its not expensive) which you can also extend by 30 days after you arrive.
