And what happens on the ground is sometimes inconsistent. Do YOU have a current one year or 5 year Thai licence that is due to expire? I went from 5 year to 5 year and it was pretty straightforward. I can't remember what was required prior to the 5 year one, but no doubt the procedure has changed. One can only go via the 'rules'.....and I consistently read a Non-Imm visa is required. Source.

A lot of discussion that the regulations wrt USA guys having foreign bank accounts are onerous enough that some banks just will not offer them. kasikorn have been mentioned. A few years old but discussed here.

Apparently not although here they talk of verifying a Thailand address. Even if you are only visiting Thailand for a relatively short period of time, you can open a savings account and get a debit card to use for shopping and ATM withdrawals. All you will need to provide is your passport and one other official identification document – for example, your driver’s license or a reference letter from your embassy, your home bank or a person acceptable to the bank. Bangkok Bank Considering what I heard yesterday, that all foreign ATM cards will invoke a per use charge of 180 baht (as opposed to the prior 2 tier system of 150/180 baht), opening a local account and transferring spending money is looking good. Although I am not sure how that works for people from USA....

If you carry a passport from a G8 member state.

Take a look at the picture above... it takes a whole page and gets stuck in your passport.

Are you obtaining your first tourist visa in the USA? The reason I ask is that there is often a restriction applied by consulates in Thailand adjacent countries...... ie if you are trying to get your third consecutive tourist visa in Vientiane. Always best to check with the local visa agencies who are up to date with the current situation.... quite often another tourist visa can be obtained by travelling to another place. Either way I am confident they can help you out with some option..

Yes, it depends on the Network/package and lots of other factors.... I sacrificed my long validity to get cheaper calls...doesn't matter as I live in Thailand now. I have to play different tricks with my UK O2 number... they will cancel it and help themselves to any credit I have if I do not make a chargeable call for six months. So every April I need to make a 10 second call on it from Thailand on roaming and am amused by how much they charge me for it. I also need to get a new data card next time I am there for my 3G dongle.

Looked like Wac to me. Let us try to get back on track. Does Anton still do a good fatties buffet on Naklua Rd? Possibly the last one I went to in Pattaya outside of a breakfast buffet? I think it is harsh to write off buffets as a balloon chaser's venue, perhaps a tongue in cheek comment, The ones in 5 star hotels are often a good deal and you get a higher quality of food and cooking than nearly all other Pattaya eateries. You can enjoy such a variety of dishes. Isn't the Cherry Restaurant buffet well regarded? A pity the OP wasn't seen for what it was!

Fine, care to tell us what the validity date is on that? If it works for you great. As previously stated 1-2-Call have been changing their validity rules. I used to get 1 year I think it was in 1990s, and that suited me fine until I moved here and realised my long-distance intra network calls were 8 baht/min. I now pay 1 b/min and manage my validity as per above posts.
