 can you elaborate further? I never thought of it as “safer”.. but if you mean how the Thai government keeps flip flopping on everything … I agree. I did enjoy the 60 days in March and April this year

@Nongnuch *******
 this is incredibly comprehensive and I will copy and paste for future use. One question Khun Nongnuch - if you DO find that agent who can bypass opening a Thai bank account on a 60 day visa free entry… are you then being looked at suspiciously by immigration or am embassy because of taking advantage of this loophole? (Is this a stupid question? 555)
