Most stores want tourists to visit and will take visa over 200 baht.

You don't want a bank account in Thailand. It's just gonna open you up to Thai taxes. Stay a tourist and use a wise app virtual visa card and tap to pay

You should be paying $22 Usd a night per room in Thailand.

The baht has been getting stronger between the middle of July and now.

Don't waste your money on the 30 day extension, just go visit some other country for a few days and come back.

If they ask for it Google onwardticket and pay the $14 for a code

Just come to Bangkok stay near MBK center then go to Pattaya for the beach

All my banks refuse to send 2fa codes to app based VOIP numbers like Google voice, WhatsApp, etc. If you do porr you number over to a VOIP app the banks will detect the transfer after 30 days and the cut off the 2fa codes to the number. Your best bet on phones that work in Asia and the US is to get 2 Samsung A15 phones at bestbuy (they sell them unlocked) and make one the hotspot for the other. Transfer your number to tello, as you can change the plan each month and just just pay $7 a month when your in Asia, and go unlimited for $25 a month in america.

It is either the notorized letter from you country that you have no criminal record or the application acknowledgement that you applied for one.
