Never had an issue, but maybe sometimes I drew out some spendies at the same time. I certainly don't do it with my FD account which I switched to after a few years.. that seems much easier to use, not having 3/4 transactions per week at least, and the savings account often adding the need to get a new passbook, and take 2 along with me. The FD gets only 3 transactions a year, two interest additions, and the 'update' (without deposit or withdrawal) at extension time.

Because I am not ignorant?

It's making her endure a sermon or two before ,,, were you ever in the Salvation Army?

Oh I am rubbish except after a dozen beers after which I become fluent... or is that fluid?

Too right..... My nearby Shell station, they totally ignore my efforts to speak Thai and it seems most of them manage a bit of English. Usually young kids... dare I suspect the schools are getting better?

Oh you know him do you? I hope he knows Beach Rd is not in Naklua unlike you. (I will put you on ignore and do us both a favour)

My opinion carries as much weight as yours or anyone's here, just less acidity.

Various regional offices having their own special requirements is such BS. I used to use my savings account, but was always in fear of not updating the book for a while, then you would get a consolidated entry... that would not specifically prove you had retained the 800/400kbaht as stipulated.. and I just feared getting grief over that. Now I use an agent, they seem more liberal of things when one does!

I know this is an old post before someone tells me! Having same issues with Mountain Spring, for a while now. Unreliable, won't answer the phone, when he does we get a line of BS! Might see him every 12-18 days.... which isn't often enough. It's hot lately, and I got MIL (aka sour puss) here, and her and my Mrs consume more water than the elephants at Nong Nooch. Might be where I live, 12 km North of town... maybe wants me to cancel.

I do not understand why that is necessary..... (he mentioned Bangkok Bank)..... I have accounts with BB and I can update the books without a transaction, and an update line is printed. This occurs with my savings and my fixed deposit books. I accept this is not the case with some other banks.

No, not at all. I suspect this guy is looking at a LTR Visa option.

I have always felt positive about the Markland, despite it's age... but agreed VT6 prices are a bit higher. My pal who owns 3 (maybe 4 now) there must be doing well. I regard Naklua as not a good option... Naklua, to me meaning North of The Dolphin.

I bought a sump pump from Homepro many years ago, submersible. That would do the job easily if you can get power to it.

We do our best to make it home, sadly the authorities do make it seem a temporary arrangement. I suspect it will get less hospitable in the coming years.

Probably better known as Soi SIam CC Rd.

Why not VT6 if being near a Mall is important?

The big Reung Ruen buses are quite sedate these days.... amble along never going too fast. In fact they have a beeper that irritates the driver at 90 kph and above (IIRC). Being able to get off at Sukhumvit in Bangkok means you are soon on your way to your destination. I can be dropped off at North Rd easily, and usually on return get dropped off at the Rong Po market junction and the wife is there in minutes. There and back same day.

Yes, I have given up on mine....expecting grazing camels one day soon.

I was watching some Thai channel last night and there was some large indoor meeting going on. Mask wearing was going on, but not 100%, perhaps 40-50% wore masks. Intrigued by what made some wear masks, but it is their choice and I don't let it bother me.

The one presented with a picture of a python?

Yep, scan a QR code nowadays!

It was a snip....... (sorry).......

I thought the Elite was being reviewed and the T&Cs were expected to change later in the year. There may be a small window still available on the old T&Cs... but I am surprised to see this advertorial. https://www.siam-legal.com/thailand-visa/thai-elite-visa.php

I don't believe it is that easy. You have to commit to returning to live in the UK, and there may be a minimum wait time. I think a week in a Blackpool B&B would be far too much!

Just took a quick look at mine and it was only 3rd party injury or death.
