Where to buy?

I did the same thing. Its all good and dandy except if you need a bank statement, then you have to go back to that bank. Choose your bank wisely.

Hangout inside the airport, both ways.

As I read that, the 40K/month is only valid for people with work permit, working in Thailand?

@John ******

immigration likes hard copies, signed, stamped etc.

scribble some indecipherable. Make sure to get in same letters that are easy to read.

I came in on an an evisa, no problems. I don't why people would warn you away from them. The only thing I would suggest is that you bring a copy of the evisa with you boarding the plane and anytime you go to immigration, if you stay that long.

And the government is trying to attract high end customers. I assume, the government expects them to come with suite cases of money

@Steve ******

I am quite sure I can apply for an evisa in any country that uses the eVisa system, regardless of my current country .

If the Embassy grants the visa is another matter. I suspect this will vary by embassy, just like the hard-copy visa. Australia very easy, short lines, turn-around same day. Sri Lanka, very difficult huge wait, takes a week.

I have no advice for you my friend, but you're not totally in the wrong place. This is a pretty good 'everything else' page. Good luck to you, welcome to Thailand.
