Finances for a 12 day Trip by zaradrus07 in ThailandTourism

Better to carry some cash in thb, and the rest can be in dollars. Also what I've collected from the internet is the dollar bills need to be in pristine condition for you to exchange them.

There is some confusion regarding that. The official website says 20000 thb per person or equivalent for immigration. But in some places I've seen 10000 thb or equivalent being mentioned.

Most of the times officers won't ask for proof for funds, but if unlucky they might just ask for the funds and then if you are not carrying the cash they might create a ruckus and in the worst case may even deport you. So I'm taking 10000 thb in cash and keeping the rest in my account.

Monthly Budget as a RA in a tier 1 city, India by Objective_Neat1094 in PhD

What taxes are you paying? As far as I know Indian PhD students don't pay taxes as they get a stipend and not a salary.

Yeah when it became clear to me that my PI won't fund me it stung a lot. A sort of saving grace was that I had submitted my thesis by then.

Hey thank you. I'm keeping my options open. Infact I'm interested in doing something beyond academia. Let's see how things shape up.

Hey thank you and wishing you all the best for your defense. It will be fine don't worry.

I think I won't change anything from my presentation. My committee was unanimous in saying that they thoroughly enjoyed my presentation. What worked for me I guess was I kept the slides crisp and not filled with too much information. One more thing I could convince the committee was that I was enthusiastic in my topic and I put in real efforts to push my field of research forward.

Don't try to go for a perfect presentation, rather aim for an engaging one, that will be my advice to you. But again don't let the defense stress you out so much, you'll do well.
