The consensus in this group is you will be required to every 6 months prove to immigration that you have been learning whatever it is you got your DTV for.

If you got it for cooking classes then they will expect you to cook some Thai food while they watch and taste it.

If you have been doing Thai boxing you will have to show some Thai boxing skills.

You get the idea 😊

I don't see why it matters.

You were not doing anything illegal or against the rules on your ED visa.

People can be in Thailand on a visa exempt stamp and do their remote computer work and it's not illegal. You don't have to be on a DTV to be able to do remote work.

But if you have been working in Thailand for a Thai business and you didn't have a work permit then there is a problem

For larger amounts Western Union gives the most but on smaller amounts Wise is slightly better

no it's not bud. It's only tax on money brought into Thailand. I suggest you speak to a Thai accountant as I did

It happened to me on Friday but it wasn't the bank account they questioned me about. They looked up my DTV and saw I got it for Thai boxing. He didn't believe I was doing boxing cause I weigh 160kg, I'm super overweight and unfit.

They laughed at me and then told me to shadow box for 5 minutes to prove I'm passionate about boxing.

It was so embarrassing 😞

I struggled to get through the 5 minutes
