prevalence of dark roast is a problem indeed. I’ve tried dozens of brands/varieties and most of them suck or overly expensive or both. Now I just get Boncafe beans of Morning/All Day variety - it tastes good and available at any Makro

this is the silliest list I’ve ever come across. I’ve lived in Russia, Europe, South America and Thailand, have been married to an American for 10y and still had to google every item and then ask myself why on Earth would I need that lol

once I got fined 500 baht for less than 24h overstay at Suratthani airport to my great surprise. Got away without any fine at Suvarnabhumi a year or two before that in the same situation, go figure…

depends on the bank / branch / today's mood of the branch manager really. I was able to open an account at Krungsri aka Ayutthaya aka Yellow Bank with a chanote for a condo, while at other banks it was like "Where's your WP?" "Don't have? Mai dai, mai dai"

lots of people here report getting their DTV extensions. It's a fair bit of paperwork, but not as bad as Non-Imm visas

Depends on the immigration office as usual: they don't ask for it here on Ko Samui

Anonymous participant 868 Samui’s immigration is a piece of cake compared to Chaeng Wattana. Flights are expensive indeed, unless you get a resident card from Bkk Air

I find very hard to believe there’s a requirement like this. Sounds like a language barrier thing. I’m pretty sure I know the officer you talked too - he loves giving falang a hard time, but then everything turns out hunky dory
