There is 1 hardware store where they have the Security Guard checking the bill when you walk out, he just stamps the bill ????

Normally I don't like those bill checkers, but now we will be more appreciative of them

As said we bought some expensive items, for example I have noticed afterwards that the batteries alone are 2k THB (each). And bill in total was over 25K, so without the faulty scan it would be 21k+-.

Went to a local Hardware store yesterday to buy some stuff. Paid and then at the door the guy started checking our bill as they normally do. (Which I normally find a total nuisance) His checking went on and on and on and talking to the Cashier who scanned all the items and even removing all items from the cart etc. To make a long story short, the billing system of the Store charged us 4000 THB+ for a pack of 2 Solar Spanner Wrenches (which actually cost 52 THB) So thanks to the guy, who did the checking, we got almost 4000 THB back. The issue in the end was that A) the person who put the barcode on, put on the price of the WHOLE box instead of a single pair B) the cashier did not pay attention to what she was scanning. The Service counter, where we got our money back, was not at all pleased. Of course in the end we tipped the guy well. And we bought some expensive items (cordless drill from DeWalt with extra batteries 20V 5A) and lots of Solar Panel related stuff etc so I never thought about that the price was that high (Please note Total Bill was over 25k THB) Just a normal day in LoS 5555555555555555

Even the cheap P Hostel located very near to the train station has aircon and those rooms are around 4xx THB You could always turn off the aircon and have them supply a fan https://goo.gl/maps/sjMrYtEuE3ZFfTAJA

The Kor Ror 22 is the foreign marriage registry. With it and your foreign marriage certificate you can do anything you need to do at immigration link.

Buriram is even asking for same day ones, but it was always accepted with ones that are 1 day old (got it the previous day before going to Immigration) so YMMV

As said get it the day before you go to immigration, costs are 10-20 THB. Your wife will need her ID card to get it. It’s called Kr 2 here an example

Lotus’s is owned by the same company that owns 7/11 (CP group, they also own Makro and True etc etc etc)

I tried again in a SCB atm with my BBL app, and could not get past the first screen. Unfortunately it was very busy in the branch so I could not ask.

As said, login to Facebook and change your password. and follow this guide to enable 2FA. https://www.facebook.com/help/148233965247823 edit: what is 2FA? https://authy.com/what-is-2fa/

Oke. I HAVE tried BBL app with SCB atm and failed (could not withdraw) because it wants to get a code from SCB send to your SCB app. edit: must say this is already a while ago and have not tried since. Will try tmrw again and report back.

No and no unfortunately Cards work but not the Qr Codes (card-less withdrawal)

I am not at CW ???? but I am only doing it so it shows movement every month.

Good idea, I am at the moment depositing 2000 THB every month ( less is not allowed because it’s a FD) for the whole year. And because it is a FD it will mature next year every month thus will show updates the whole year through every month. 1 side effect is that the bank book will fill up quickly

WhatIKnow is that for my marriage extension I just had to give immigration a bank letter confirming the 400k and give them the Bank book. For retirement I had to give IO a bank letter and a bank statement going back 6 months Both times (marriage and retirement) the money was in a FD account and I also added money to it on the day I went to the bank and to IO to show the updated balance in the bank letter.

Retirement extension, if using money in the bank, is different to marriage extension, because with the retirement extension the 800k you can only use 400k and the rest (400k) needs to be in the account for the whole year and near extension date (don’t know the exact amount of time) you need to top it backup to 800.000 again

To clarify, do you mean at immigration or at your bank?

I checked and I don’t see any possibility to change your email address. 2 suggestions 1- Do you keep your old email address? If so, then you could maybe do a forward to your new email address 2- applying again with the new email address. Here another thread about it

@Syke1911 Any updates to this? Got your year stamp?

They now do. (Oke not black but red ???? ) This happened to a guy on here very recently after he was late for his 90 day report

Their customer service call center? 02 777 7777

My “under consideration” stamp result was once 2 weeks late, but that was due to immigration being very busy and no issues then.
