I’m not complaining, I’m knowing my own limits. You don’t know me or my life. You shouldn’t be telling me not to extend my visa because your life looks different than mine. Clearly I solved my own problem cheaply and easily, and still staying in 35 different places last year. Why should I follow your advice?

@Paul ******

once again — you have no idea. We travelled with our kids in the US, UK, Italy, Vietnam, Malaysia, Jakarta, and Bali last year (not including Thailand). You seem to have zero ability to appreciate how tiring that would be and why I’d choose to extend instead of exiting the country again.

Unsolicited advice / concern. It's irrelevant to this post, and comes off as unhelpful, judgy, and pot-stirring.

My exact words and impression when we left immigration 🤣

@Paul ******

who are you to make assumptions about my parenting and lifestyle? Are you a parent? Why are you even leaving comments about this on my post? Why don't you show your face? Why are you *still* trolling my posts? Do you have virtually anything better to do than make misguided and misinformed statements about other peoples' lives on the internet?

@Paul ******

I’m not sure why you think I’m lying. I don’t need to flex or disclose my budget to you. I have no reason to lie about it though.

@Paul ******

also, 41,000 baht every month in Thailand when you cook your own food and eat locally isn’t exactly “poverty”

@Paul ******

you literally didn’t even read. I have money elsewhere. I keep 500k in an account just to show to the officers and maintain legal status. I don’t even use it.

so you can only get one extension per year. After this one, we’ll have to exit. Each visa extension is 1,900 baht.
