I didn't use an agent I did it myself. Believe me money is not an issue for me. But I refuse to waste the money on an elite visa when I could put that money towards the Orphanage in Thailand that I volunteer and donate too.
this was not a border run. Believe me I'm very tough. I didn't bow down to his attitude and I didn't allow him to talk to me like I'm less than. I answered all his questions politely and with respect. And I calmly ask for a supervisor and I got my passport stamp. So you toughing up. And believe me I have plenty of money retired at the age of 36 and haven't worked in 12 years. There is not been a continent I haven't traveled to. I donate to Orphanage twice a year as well as volunteer at them. I'm giving back to this country and respect the laws.
I have never been told anything about me coming in and out of Thailand until I gor a valid Visa. I decided to get the DTV to have a valid Visa in the country I like to spend more year in.
I did my Visa on my own and didn't use an agent. I have plenty of money and I plan on doing the seminar. Soft Power is an option that the Thai gave and that what I used. Not abusing and trying to get a legit Visa. I'm retired for 12 years but I'm only 48 so retirement visa is not an option for me..
