Does anyone know if you can you cash out from partypoker to a Thai bank account using "local bank transfer" option? I don't see Thailand as a country option in their cash out page, and wire is $50k usd minimum.

I just use fast bank transfer option. Had no problems cashing direct to Kaskorn Bank using that.

Sweet thanks Spiv, I'll contact them and change my country to Thailand then. Also my atm card got skimmed and account drained, (luckily not a large amount in there but not a small amount either, definitely hurts). Be careful and cover up PIN at all times, try to use ATMs attached to banks / inside big malls etc.

I assume you have an USD Party account. Does Party convert the curreny or your Thai bank?

The Thai bank does the conversion. As best as I can calculate it, the conversion fee is around 300 baht + 0.75%

I went to Jomtiem immigration last week for my 30 day extention on my tourist visa. Turned up as I usually do with just passport/photo/cash and the (polite) form filling lady outside asked straight away "do you have your rental contract with you", which I didn't. She then asked "do you have your last rental bill showing the address of your condo on it", I didn't. She politely told me this is now required. I went back to the room, grabbed my last months bill which luckily showed the condo address, which was accepted once I returned - despite it being a bit of a mess and my landlords written rental/bill figures being almost inelligible.

There was no mention of any requirement for any landlords ID.

It was a bit more of a pain than previous visits. Theres more forms to complete - it took her about 10 minutes to complete 3 or 4 forms, before was simply 1. I use to give 50 baht to the lady, but felt 100 baht was more reasonable now (she didn't ask for this though).

I then went to get my ticket, but now the process is slightly different - I was asked to go upstairs so the staff there could verify my address document. Done that after waiting 5 mins and went back for a ticket. They then asked me to go to another room and have this document photocopied. Done that after waiting for 5 mins. Went back for a ticket, and got it!

I arrived there at 8.30am (9am once I went back to room). It was reasonaby quiet there, and once I had my ticket it only took 15 more minutes to get out. My only advice to people who need to visit for this reason is to turn up with the rental contract or previous months bill, and turn up early - at 8.30am. Get the forms sorted quickly and be near the beginning of the que. I can only imagine how long this process might of taken had I of turned up at the same time as most the lazy farrang.

There is an online site where your landlord can register your name and address. Then you just go to immigration with nothing but a photo and 1900 thb like always

I read if you get a thai drivers license you don't need to show a rental contract every time. Lasts for 5 years, would be +ev if you live there. It's a Pattaya specific thing

anyone having issues downloading torrents with truemove? My speed is close to 30 mbps but bittorrent is super slow, didn't have this issue with 3bb...any way around this??

Selling an acer i7 laptop and a benq 24' monitor in Pattaya. PM for models/specs thx.

I really recommend https://put.io/, really happy with it for $10/mth. Especially valueable when Game of Thrones is one because you can instantly start watching 720p as soon as it's released (whenever any put.io user downloads any file, it stays cached on their servers).

Actually, it sort of is. It have always been the law, that the landlord have to inform immigration (or in some cases nearest police station) if a foreigner lives in his property. It have just never been enforced before.

Had a lot of issues with true recently, disconnects etc...

Also same issue with the torrents, my friend also has the same problem

wait this is for tourist visa extension? If your staying in hotels print out agoda booking?

A lot of hotels have a system to automatically report guests to immigration.

It is the responsibility of the hotel/landlord, to inform immigration within 24 hours, however if they dont do it (and many private landlords and owners of small guesthouses etc may be unaware of this) you may have to make them do it.

Exactly what is required regarding documens may vary between the immigration offices.

In Samui they just want your address. If you don't have it you can tell them the name of the hotel and they will look it up on google maps. Samui immigration is a lot more efficient than it used to be, extensions only take about 15-20 minutes now.

True managed to block torrent downloads somehow, or at least slow them down to a crawl, However I just realized if you connect to VPN it solves the problem.

Im thinking of changing my address to Thailand to have more options regarding sites, but when the sites do the security check, will it be enough to show them my ID which still shows my (german) home address and a copy of my monthly rental for my condo?

Why not show copy of your passport? I'm pretty sure your ID with german address is fine, too. Just explain you moved. You can also get a thai driver's licence. Takes a day.

What sites accept as proof of address varies so you'll just have to try. I'd verify the ID+address before you start playing to avoid any problems in the future.

Yeah its fine

Is there any difference when I buy an iPad from Thailand compared to Europe besides that charger's electricity plug is different? Mostly worrying if the soft is somehow different and I won't have the option to choose Estonian language, or it won't be an issue (Apple products don't have full-on Estonian language option anyway, but there are few things which are in estonian, calendar etc)...

Wasn't a problem when I got one and set it to Swedish.
