Probably only with an USDaccont

They kept my passport two times for covid extention.

I didn't mind as I didn't have to go back for the "under consideration"

@Russell ******

Actually I thought it is free anyway if I draw from BKK bank

@Russell ******

As you could see in my comment above. I calculated a bit.

Yes I know basically it is free.

But I don't have the stamina to get any paper from embassy, immigration travelling to BKK providing all necessary documents.

In "my" country it is not possible to just open an account without having a adress they send correspondance cards, pin codes etc.

And you need a residence permit also. So not possible just go with a passport alone and get trough.

So in Thailand I have to pay roughly about 160USD to have an account for a lazy person like me? Avoiding to run after some paper work joining queues, making appointments, online application you name it.

Plus when I withdraw at ATM with my bank card I get bad rates and pay at least 10USD for fee.

Naw Sir it's well considered. Acceptable for me

🆗️ yes not good for her.

Bangkok Bank, Branch Thepprasit Road Pattaya will open if you buy insurance.

6000b

Roughly about 160U$

No paper work at all only passport required

I think it's not a big amount for saving future fees which is always at least 10 U$ each withdraw and don't need to have big cash in the room.

Plus one will get better rate bringing cash and change it at the yellow money exchange cabins.

But if an agent only charges 3500b of course it's a better deal

@Chris *******

yes you can call it that way.

My theory is if you do the border hopping by air you can do it much longer before an IO even will find fault.

You might can do it for quite a good while

You can get a 6 months multi entry visa in Cambodia. Your GF can go to Cambodia with you aswell when it is time to stay out of Thailand for a while

I would not advise.

I came with Thai airways. One way. Visa exemption. I was prepared to buy onward ticket but they didn't ask me anything.
