Did this group change its name? Does "and more" equate to the old "and everything else"?

Hi, travelling to Thailand 13 feb to 18 March, staying with a friend for a few days, then planning to travel to the following places.

Chiang Mai, Jomtien/Pattaya, Hua Hin, Krabi, Phuket and Bangkok.

Anyone in any of those areas free to catch up for a chat and give me their pro's and con's on living in Thailand would be appreciated.

Just please PM me and we can arrange something.

Thanks in advance 😁

Hope this can fit under "everything else". Seeking advice for selling via installments. I have posted my motorbike for selling on the marketplace, and today somebody approached me and asked if I accepted payment via installments. 4000 baht upfront, and the rest via weekly payments. Would you recommend this or he can just take the bike and disappear? Thanks!

Hello guys,

In 2026 I will surely apply for the DTV VISA but for the year 2025 I only plan to stay 6 months in Thailand.

How do you manage to rent for 6 months?

I have the impression that it's an obstacle course. 99% of landlords only want a minimum one-year contract.

For those of you who have been able to rent for 6 months, how did you manage?

My agent have recommended that I rent for 1 year, but he'd find me a renter at the end of the 6 months.

Do you have any advice?

Thanks in advance

I have a valid residence permit sticker of another country, but my DTV was issued in another country (which is not my home country). Messy, I know. Could this raise issues?
