What are the best options for re-entering Thailand after immigration issues?

James *********

50 years ago Bangkok was hoppin' and poppin'. The War in Vietnam even "extended" to Thailand. MANY US and Allied Forces on R&R, and active duty working on bases in Country. Minimum wage only 16 baht/day. Workers and University students held many protests and strikes. Yes, life different here back then, but not quiet in major cities 🙂

How can I set up automated bill payments for utilities in Thailand?

If you have a debit card with a Thai bank you should ask your bank if they have an App, and if yes, download it and ask someone at the bank to show you how it's done. Mine is very simple
