If you just try to copy your lifestyle across the costs can be similar. You have to go local and adjust with what is good value.

For example, try getting a one hour massage in Australia for 250thb.

But if you go Villa Market and buy imported products or things taxed heavily like wine, you are going to pay the same or more.

Geo arbitrage and Thailand is significantly cheaper. Without it, it could be the same or more.

Are 90 day reports done at CW or MTT in Bangkok right now?

What about 90 day reports?

There is no additional restriction on the nationality/passport. If you can get the visa, you get the same terms. SETV is 60 days and can be extended for an additional 30 days at immigration for 1,900 thb. Need to get the visa in advance of arrival

This came into affect a couple years back. They won't give you a multiple entry 1 year Non B at a consulate unless you are a director of the company "which considering your WP says you are not, they are denying you this). You need to get the 90 day Non B and then get an extension of stay inside of Thailand, or get a work permit as the MD and then apply outside again for a 1 year ME non b

You need to make your second entry before the date of the visa expiration

should be interesting to see how this plays out..

3-4 tourist visas, a few multi-entry non-b, then visa exempt, and now SETV. So not a lot of back to back tourist visas over the last few years, but consulate did question me a lot about working when I applied for the tourist visa as they flicked through my passport. Immigration at Phuket didn't care at all.
