Ugh 😩 Yeah, well I was just thinking about bonafide tourists.

I don’t see it as a violation of human rights if you are denied entry. You’re a guest who must meet entry requirements. Has your home country ever denied entry to anyone? Do you see it as a violation of their human rights should they not meet entry requirements?I don’t mean this in any sarcastic way rather just asking a thought-provoking question.

What is the purpose of going to Thailand?

That’s the package I have, too. So affordable!

I believe what you are saying about your friend’s schooling. Really depends on the school and location. For example, tuition is over 1 million baht at my son’s school in BKK (high school)- and that does not include uniforms, lunch, field trips.

100 GB a month on 5G. I am in BKK but never found a difference using it in rural areas.

I have True annual plan- 2290 baht per year.

I wonder if TAGTHAI is catching on? I’ve mentioned it to some visitors and they never heard of it. Seems like a good option

@Simon ******

Yes though I am referencing POS terminals where I believe it says home currency or Thai Baht (always pick Thai Baht). On ATMs it says with or without conversion, as you say. Same principle.

You can use a foreign-issued credit card, but check whether it has foreign transaction fees. Also, if the terminal asks whether to pay in your home currency or in Thai Baht, always choose Thai Baht, otherwise, you’ll likely get a worse exchange rate.
