firstly,  @dkbkk   can one assume your Account is (was) only ever accessed by BankBook?  

Yes, i used both bank book and debit card.

Good luck with that without the passport used for account being valid (or even with at most places).  Hopefully you have an ATM card to remove funds - then comes the fun task of finding a bank willing to open an account in your new name with only a tourist visa.

Exactly. If i cant open a new account for some reason, i have more funds than is possible to take out of Thailand.
I originally opened the account on a tourist visa, using my "yellow book".

close this account and make a new one

Your suggestion raises some unknown risks.

Do you have any documentation pertaining to your name change ? You probably need to get this certified by your embassy; then take this to the bank with your new passport (and old passport, or copy of same, if you have it).

I once worked with a foreign woman who was very proud of the fact that she had snagged a husband, after what I think was many years of trying. I remember her telling us at work how she was going to "have to" change her name on bank accounts etc. She must have been successful, because I don't remember ever hearing that she was not able to do it.

I do not have a specific "name change document". I have and old birth certificate and a new birth certificate. These two documents is normally enough to show a name change. Cause they both display the same personal ID.

I changed my name (all of it!), and have a new passport with my new name.
My Thai bank account (Kasikorn) is in my old name.

Does anybody have experience in this matter, whether i need some kind of legal document for the bank to accept the name change, or is it a straigth-forward procedure.

The same question goes for my Thai driving license, can i change name on that one too?
 

FYI: I don't live in Thailand, i don't have a work permit. I am a returning tourist.

Looking forward to some good input.

Anyone can direct me to some good article databases in Thai language, where to post article for SEO?

Thanks.

I did mine recently at the office in the bottom floor of the Sunee Grand. Quick, painless, and no waiting. I needed the medical form, old one year license, and yellow book. I had work permit and passport, but was not asked for it.

You mean City Mall right? (The mall next to Sunee). Is it the corner room at the basement where also TOT has an office?

I just went there last week to renew my drivers license.

They gave me 5 years, everything was prepared and ready. But then they saw that i had a tourist visa. Then they started to discuss internally about the rules. There were two ladies who were supiriors, one said 5 years and the other said 1 year. But the ended up giving me 1 year. If i had a non-O or non-B, then they would have given me 5 years.

Still not open. Told me in mid january it would open in february, but no way, they are still doing construction, so my guess is that it will take atleast to april.

Why dont you buy a water cleaner? I just got one from DoHome and its clean and tastes great. And you can control the filters yourself.

Thank you for the warnings. I have experienced songkran in Ubon, Yassothon, BKK and Pattaya. My experience of songkran was best in Ubon, this is why I am taking Jr to Issan rather than Pattaya where I used to live.

I am not planning on driving, rather we will be using the death race bus network.

My understanding is that the "official" days vary with locations like Chiang Mai being the earliest about 11 April and further south being the later. In this thread; http://www.thaivisa....ive-to-pattaya/ the town was having their festival on 17 and 18 April. My hope was to have an extra day or 2 of silliness with a little planning.

I have promised a lady I will be in Kalasin for a few days or so over songkran, so I was trying to do a little forward planning to avoid getting trapped in the village. Another part of the plan was to visit the temple my brother spent a year or so living in, it is out of Ubon. All part of Jr's education.

Nobody in the IT consultant industry in this forum?

I am looking into starting an IT consultancy company in Thailand, and are looking for the price level of these services offered to customers.

What is the normal rate that IT consultants charge companys per hour.

The work field is to offer knowledge on infrastructure; Network, security, servers, virtualization, etc. And to small and mid-sized companies.

Looking forward to answers :-)

You MUST have a TAT License to handle inbound tours [100,00 baht for inbound/200,000 baht for outbound], beside that, it's the regular paperwork to setup any Co.,ltd. in Thailand.

Thanks steppenwolf. Can you be more specific about the TAT license? What you mean by inbound/outbound? I also heard about those fees, but that was regarding to 100k for having a thai only website and the 200k was for having an international website. I also heard some people mention that it was a deposit you will get back (some day).

I am looking into the possibility of starting af travel company in Thailand.

This company will arrange day tours for farangs with a local driver, not a certified tour guide.

My question is, how is the Thai law on this matter?

Must i specify that its "only" a driver and not a guide? And will that give any problems?

Must i register with TAT in this setup? And if so, how about the expense?

Are there any advantages in making this company registered in another country?

Are there any other issues that is worth mentioning?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks.
