Does a tourist visa renew when re-entering Thailand after flying out?

Tony **********

If your get a tourist visa, it is valid for 60 days. If you arrive without visa and you're from one off the 90 exempt countries you will get a 60 day entry stamp. Both can be extended by 30 days for ฿1900. Any time you exit the country without purchasing a reentry permit automatically cancels whatever visa your on

Is using Wise better than traditional banks for transferring money to Thailand?

@Nongnuch *******

I found that if I send my native currency and let Thai bank convert that I got a much better rate (and better than wise).

Is using Wise better than traditional banks for transferring money to Thailand?

Tony **********

Depends on the amount your sending. Break even point with my credit union is about ฿150k. Below that wise is cheaper. But you'll have to do your own calcs. Good luck getting your bank to quote you a rate. Probably just ask what it was the day before.

Should I rent for a month or two weeks when moving to Hua Hin, and what type of visa is best for someone over 60?

Tony **********

Rent don't buy. Come on 60 day exempt to look around. If you're moving within a few months, best to sign your lease during low season. Then rerun home and apply for a non-o visa from your home country.
