@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.

@Scott **********

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

@Paul ******

First — idk what your problem is. You always respond to my posts with negative contrarian stuff.

Second — 500k is our proof of funds. We have more than that elsewhere and support ourselves just fine. We fulfilled the requirements to both receive the visa and the extension.

Third — Only two of us are on this visa.

Fourth — You assume a lot about our budget and lifestyle. I’ve lived in Thailand for 10 years. We live a very unextravagant and frugal lifestyle. 500,000 goes a long way.

@Dany *******

Just my rental contract. I included proof of rental payment, but I doubt it was necessary.

Originally I had given a bank statement from Jan-Feb, but as March hadn’t been generated yet, I gave a screenshot of my bank amount. He told me it would be better to give statements, so I brought them when March was generated.

@Greg *******

is correct — authorization letter from company (my own) to work remotely in Thailand. ChatGPT + company letterhead = success.

@John ********

@Wannikea ********

is correct — you’re just reporting your status in Thailand. All it required was handing them my passport. No charge.

@Garry *****

that’s what I meant by (but can’t) 😜
