How can I open a Thai bank account to deposit 800k before getting a visa, or should I get the visa first?

Bill *********

Absolutely use a visa agent. Got it all done in under a day and didn't have to deal with trying to interpret forms or legal explanations. I put a high value on my time and this was well worth it.

Do Thai people accept black women, and are there Americans in Thailand?

Bill *********

@Nongnuch *******

Exactly right. You can easily observe on the streets or in shopping areas where a Thai person will be in front of a shop with a menu, or sale banner, or whatever, and will speak to everyone, but be silent when Indians or black people walk by.

What are the best ways to handle US mail and residency for expats moving to Thailand?

Bill *********

I'm using POSTSCANMAIL for receiving all my postal mail...magazines, newsletters, correspondence, bills, etc. Working quite well. I wouldn't change my state of residence since I don't know how to move my home and rental properties to another state!

Are there any exceptions to the 180-day stay limit for tourists in Thailand?

@John *******

I hear you... but here's the thing: taxes on what? I don't generate one single baht of income in Thailand. But I certainly spend money here. Would like to learn more on this topic.

True, I should give the online version a try someday.

@Brandon ***********

Yup... Which is my subtle reminder that I need to take a trip somewhere beforehand so the clock starts again! ✈️

What should I do if I can't get an appointment for my 90-day report in Bangkok?

@Aake *********

Some of us value convenience. I can make money, but I can't make time. Agent every time

Bill *********

The 90-day report requirement reminds me I've been home too long! So why don't you take a weekend in Singapore. You'll enjoy some great food and then reset the Thailand clock. Win-win!

Is Agoda a reliable platform for booking flights compared to airlines' websites?

Bill *********

I've used Agoda for 4 flights/hotel combinations this year and everything worked great. Definitely appreciated the cheaper price than I found separately. It's a site that's my first stop when thinking about a trip.

What is the process for applying for a retirement visa in Thailand and how long does it take?

Bill *********

Absolutely get a visa agent working for you. There are ways to go alone, but just because you can doesn't mean you should.
