it's not cool having to hide like 200k baht under the mattrass or pillow or in hotel safe. So cash is not a good option. Sending with Western Union is too expensive. If you're not a tourist and you have a thai bank account you don't need true money app at all. You can scan and pay everything with your thai bank. So the app is pretty useless unless you can send money inexpensive from abroad

if I have a Thai bank account why would I even need the app? Pretty pointless

@Gregory *******
yeah IF!!! In case you didn't know yet...foreigners with tourist visa and visa exemption cannot open bank accounts anymore

I am still waiting for something simular like Wing Bank from Cambodia.

You can send money to your account via money gram or western union. Without fee.

If I have to go 7eleven or use a thai bank or go to ATM to put money on it. Pretty useless.

@Paul *******
he just needs an agent not charching more than 4000b. In his case staying at hotel only to get the tm30 form is nonsense

@Paul *******
why would he go to a hotel if he still needs an agent? Hotel still costs money right? 500b for a shitty hotel. And some of them don't know about tm30. You need a good hotel then maybe 1000b. Then you have to wait in queue at Immigration. You will at least spend 2 hours there. So at the end of the day it will cost you 3000b for still having to spend time at immigration. Agent will charge about 4000b no waiting, no tm30, no hotel stay🤷‍♂️

Not complicated at all🤦🏻 Booking a hotel and having to stay the exact same day as applying. He dosn't want the hassle that's why he is asking for an agent🤦🏻

If you go before opening time you still have to wait as everybody have the same idea and show up like 2 hours before opening time
