Married a Thai fifty years ago and the majority posting here have no idea what goes on in Thai Family Life as they only hang in tourist towns and areas.
Paid from my bank account with PEA and the Water people who debt my account with no problem for a couple decades. BTW I have an account just for that and top it up as required.
great Visa and the Ranking Immigration Officet took great care of me! My point is some staff never read the "memo" So glad I bought the for 50K for 10 years with multiple exit reentry
I used a "New LTR Visa" recently at Nong khai and going in and out there were minor problems with Immagration not understanding how it works and a supervisor had to be called both exiting and entering and that "New Visa " is about two years old. Even Suvarnabhumi took a few months.
Recently I entered on a new type visa, at a land entry point, and the IO had missed the memo and it was a lot of fun. There was three possible dates they could stamp in my passport as expiration dates , five year review, the visa experation date, or my passport expiration date. The IO was worried he would get it wrong and they had a conference holding up on long line then wanted to chat about where I lived as he knew the area where I live. Most of the people were doing a border bounce so I was not their normal person BTW a young female IO knew what she was doing and picked the right date.
