Hello I’m Sharing my process with you from applying in Jakarta while staying in Bali, soft power muay thai and unemployed with no income for many years
Thank you to the group and to you T for all the help
Essential Costs in THB
Flights in out with flexible ticket + VOA = 12k
Hotel = 700thb per night x 5 nights
Food/drink = 1000thb per day x 5days
DTV online: 11.5k THB after exchanges see below
Note: The application is apparently payed by card only in IDR 5.6M = (11500thb) I expected to pay 10k in THB, so be better prepared than me for a more favourable exchange rate and experience.
