yes if you does not have the money yet. In which case it may still be tight in a year's time while spending money living in Thailand with no income?

@Neil ******

I think the only qualification is to pony up between 900,000 and 5m baht?

Nick,please read the comments. No one is saying it does not happen, just the same as driving down the wrong way on a dual carriageway!

Thailand is full of single hotels. You may want to check back with your wife. Is she Thai or has she spent years in Thailand?

@Michael *******

yep, your wife is probably right. All good, not going to argue with you. Go check the legislation please.

@Michael *******

maybe, but in my experience both have fire exits and safety equipment. Both have to have public liability insurance, and hotels should have an extra level for pets goods. But that is not the reason - it is legislated to protect the hotel industry.

It is to stop them competing with the hotels - period, imo

@Terry *******

hi Terry, I'm not aware of all the perks on the original visa that you have. Could you enlighten us how you have 5000 baht perks every week? It could assist folks in making a buying decision. Cheers

Good post Tod

sounds as if it was just a random event. I'd be surprised if the one day overstay from years ago has any impact. What would be interesting is if someone said 'i don't know where I'm staying, going to get a hotel for the night and then decide'. I doubt that they would refuse entry as you could book online there and then. Same as a return flight, can book online at immigration - what could they do?
