Without a Thai bank account, I'm curious how are people paying rent and utilities?

I've done a one-month rental before paying up front in cash and they deducted utilities when giving the deposit back.

For a year lease, what do you do to send money to the landlord as well as the utilities? I plan on getting a year lease in Chiang Mai for several years and leaving during the burning season. I suppose I could pay up front for 2 months before leaving the country, but what about utilities?

For those who applied in Phnom Penh - did they ask for physical cash? Or do they allow payment by card / bank transfer?

Thank you

Showing cash or a screenshot of your bank account won’t get you past first base .

You need to show actual bank statement print out( 3 months single 6 months double ).

You also need to show them proof that you send the bank statement to your email .

I presented right in front of them uk cash not accepted or any cash,,

it was way over 20000 baht I presented .

Not accepted as evidence to support your trip !!!
