  1. The elephant pants were probably supplied by the temple because the guy turned up in shorts.
  2. It's yet another example of the abysmally inept design of government websites. Whatever the reason for rejection of a 90-day report, Immigration should have been given several boxes for the most usual reasons for rejection so that they can tick one.
  3. It's an AI generated publication and so completely useless.
  4. This whole issue of TM30 needs the relevant government department to lay down the law to every immigration Department office.
  5. No wonder you have over 4,000 posts!
  6. I had a similar problem. It was eventually traced to a break in a pipe where it came through a wall of the house.
  7. It's TIT. the slowest speeds are always for Thai sites, i.e. ASEAN and a certain English language Thai newspaper.
  8. Thailand has an equal opportunities society.
  9. A lot of this model have been sold cheaply recently, but it could be because of Omron's warning: https://www-omronhealthcare--ap-com.translate.goog/th/events/detail/55?_x_tr_sl=th&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=sc
  10. Which, of course, is the parent company of Agoda.
  11. But.......the prime minister insisted that he had ordered the queues to disappear. Maybe that was just on the days that he was travelling.
  12. Thailand's banking system is still stuck in the middle of the 20th century.
  13. I have to wear underwear or it would have to be long pants. Just saying.
  14. No, the account is only for visa purposes. The book was full because I've been using it for several years.
  15. Yes, 800K in FD with SCB. Immigration only require the bank statement to be for the last 3 months.
  16. Went to CW today with an online appointment (evidence by a printout of the appointment). In and out with extension in 40 minutes. The documents I handed over were: 1. Passport 2. Copies of its main page, the visa, last extension, last entry, TM47 (90 days). 3. Completed application (TM7) with photo attached. 4. Bank letter dated today with 3-month statement attached. 5. Bank book. 6. Copies of bank book pages, showing withdrawal today. 7. Copy of house owner's ID. 8. Copy of house owner's house registration. 9. Tenancy agreement. 10. Copy of tenancy agreement. 11. Hand drawn map showing route from house to CW. 12. Signed copies of the 3 additional forms that are now routinely required - "Criteria for consideration", "Acknowledgment of terms" and "Acknowledgment of penalties". I had a TM30 signed by the house owner, but was told it was not required. N.B. About 6 months ago, my old bank book was full so the bank issued a new one. At about the same time, I got a new passport. When I went to CW to have the visa entered into the new passport, the IO wanted to see the old and new bank books. I asked why and she explained that their regulations required this to ensure that the bank balance had remained correct since the last extension. Luckily, I had both books with me. Today, the IO who was checking the documents of those with an online appointment said that I had to produce the old bank book (or a statement from the bank, if I no longer had the old book) because "It's the regulations". I did not have the old book and pointed out three times that I had produced it when my new passport was shown to Immigration in accordance with their regulation. Eventually she took me to her superior who seemed to accept that having to produce a deceased bank book twice was overkill. Apart from the hitch over the old bank book, a good experience.
  17. If you are doing retirement on 800,000 baht in the bank, at no time can it go below 400,000
  18. Yes. When I went last year to transfer to new passport, they asked to see it. Reason given was that they wanted to see that bank balance had remained legal since last extension.
  19. Why on earth can't the Director of the Immigration Department make all his offices follow the printed regulations?
