I am pretty helpless and especually lazy. I will use an agent.

But I would not in my wildest dreams pay 15k for 30 days extention.

The other examples you mentioned I believe.75k for a volunteer visa is not so much as it is for a whole year. So 75:12=6.25k call it 6k a month🤷‍♂️

50k for retirement visa is little bit high yes but I certainly believe people will pay.

But paying 15k for 1 month...

believe you me I shake my head in disbelief too😆

I did many in my life. But I am sure you confuse something here.

15k for a 30 day extention I don't belive it exists.

Maybe 1 crazy agent in whole Thailand charges this yes😃

@Steve *******
Yes covid was different. And covid extention gave you 60 days.

So then it was 5000b for 30 days.

But 15k for 30 days nobody would be stupid enough to pay

@Steve *******
you mean 15k for 1 year visa?

They talk about only 1 extention 30 days here.

So 15k for an extention for 30 days is robbery.

Nobody would pay that

15k for an extention? I the most expensive agent I found wanted 6000b

Scooter rentals often only have a the mandatory insurance.

Will only cover up to 30k b

And only for injured persons.

No damage on cars or other scooters covered.

So basically renting a scooter in Thailand is driving with no insurance.

I didn't say he will not face any questions.

I said (as far as I know at least) "the only 2 land border crossing a year" will not apply to him.

I know Cambodians they cross the border to Thailand many many times a year without any problems. I assumed it will be simular for Vietnamese citizens

Go by land border next time. ASEAN citizens usually don't have problems.

Even the limited 2 times per year does not apply to them.

@Nadine ******
Correct it can happen they will not let you in again because they don't like your nose.

But the rule still dosn't exist. You can believe Brandon and John they are right.

Exept crossing cambodian border was never an issue for me.

Only Poipet is a bit tricky as far as I see🤷‍♂️
