I just pulled out using my USA TDameritrade debit card recently and saw that it only charged for 400 baht to take out 20,000 (ATM 200 baht fee and exchange rate). I also tried it previously with 12,000 baht and it only charged me 200. This is actually on par or less fees than using transferwise. Am I missing something?
I remember long time ago, they used to trick people into using the thai banks conversion rate and the fees and rates were A LOT higher.
Did this change? And is it now on par with using transferwise?

ACs need a lot more improvement. When the outside unit turns on and off its not really helping with the humidity. They tried to help that with the Dry setting but it doesnt work for everyone. There should be a % power adjustment setting on the outside unit
-
If they let you pay annually 30,000 baht or had 1 year plans I would be all up on it.
-
also try to use the "dry" setting on your A/C because when you set your temperature to 25 and the A/C unit outside turns off, your fan still shoots out humid air which makes you hot. and sleep naked with a thin blanket.

use energy to make yourself cold then use a blanket to make yourself warm again.

CAmbodian people are great but the expats in Cambodia are the worst. 100x worse in Phnom Penh. They are liek the reject expats of Thailand.

It's possible, but not guaranteed. The Thai/Cambodian crossings have a limit of 90 days per year, but can deny anyone that they consider is a 'visa runner'. If possible avoid the Aranyapathet/Poipet crossing.
thanks. KL for me it is then

If I have 2 back to back in and out cambodia boredr runs will I be able to do it again? US citizen

Thanks for the clarification. Many people have been saying you cant get an extension on a border run 30 day visa.
He was saying you cannot get a 30 day extension at the border.
You can get a 30 day extension at an immigration office.
Yes I meant thank you all for the clarification. I was trying to avoid going for another border run (for another 30 day visa) and was asking if I can get an extension instead at Chaeng Wattana

Also they will check for an outwards ticket?

If you were given 30 days when crossing by land it was a visa exempt entry, and you can extend it by 30 days at immigration.Visa Exempt Entry, Yes. Costs 1,900 baht from an immigration office.
Visa On Arrival, No.
Coudl you tell me if I havea visa on arrival or visa exempt entry? is it because of a land crossing instead of fly in?
90 days ago. I arrived from Hong Kong and got a 30 day tourist visa, then I 30 day extended. After that expired I went to cambodia and came back with a land crossing 30 day visa.
Ok thank you for that answer.
My visa expired saturday the 18th. Are there any stories of them denying an extension for 3 days overstay?

Tried to search but failed.

hwo much money do you save if you do it yoruself instead of visa run companies?

thanks everyone

Ban Laem is a good crossing. It is bit further from Bangkok but the time can be made up by the time saved by doing the crossing quicker.
If not doing it yourself I can recommend this company. http://www.thaivisaservice.com/
thanks for that link. althought this info on their site alarmed me:
- Real Tourist arriving via an international airport will still obtain a 30 day stay, however travelers using OUT/IN method to extend stay will be denied entry. Decision is at the discretion of the Immigration Officer.

If my stamp says May 19 do I get to do the border run on the morning of may 19th?
-
So the border run is only for a 14day?
Im in bangkok
Are ATMs not ripping people off anymore like long time ago?

Ok either way I always saw that using ATM was a lot more expensive a few years back but now its actually cheaper than using transferwise. So then why would anyone use transferwise?
