  1. The face scan update is for the bank records only. You will not be required to take face scans on your phone or at ATM's.
  2. Why not just transfer it into her name now. Simple process. Yes there will be some taxes (% will depend on how long you've had it). This takes away all the other red tape other posters have mentioned, and gives you peace of mind. Then live happily ever after.
  3. That's certainly a revelation--thanks for letting us know.
  4. You have just answered your own question, that's exactly what a 'Fixed Deposit' is. Normal savings you can use ATM, debit card, deposit/withdraw as you like. Fixed deposit cannot be used like that, but as you described it can be broken with loss of interest.
  5. That is usually the normal Condo ceiling gap--ie: just a space and nothing else. The only real option you have is to use the insulation batts, which come in many varieties and thickness. The gypsum ceiling can be cut open at various points to accommodate this. If you use a good ceiling guy, you won't even notice the repairs after they finish. This would be the most cost effective way. Spray foam is not really an option, as its expensive and a very dirty job. Also the foam would have to be sprayed onto the cement underside of the above room. The only other way (which would be very expensive) is too spray the underside of the room above with foam, and also use insulation batts, but with the gap between the floor and your ceiling, it might not be that effective. Of course you could also ask him to be quiet. (maybe give him a 1000 baht a month--cheaper than insulation). Good luck with whatever you decide.
  6. Wow you are really on your high horse these days... I live near the Pattaya area, have been a Thai Citizen a lot longer than you have, so maybe you should keep your "the guys in Pattaya' comments to yourself, or modify them to be nice...enuff said.
  7. After today's revelations of the EC and possibly the Constitutional Court examining the 'Share Holding', and Sretta and Anutin accidentally bumping into each other in the UK (haha) my prediction is this. Pita unfortunately will suffer the same fate as Thanatorn. Pheu Thai, Bhumjaithai, a few smaller parties (and possibly Prawits party) will form a government. With Sretta, Anutin, Paetong all registered PM candidates, the Senate will find one of them acceptable. Then sadly MFP will be pushed to the opposition back benches and be forgotten. Also peoples voices will react, but sadly after a short while TH goes back to the status quo. (Can't predict the fate of Prayut's future and Thaksin's possible homecoming at this time).
  8. Absolutely crazy to leave yourself without a passport for that length of time. Enuff said....????
  9. And how does that have to do with Tina?
  10. So actually what you are implying is that the it's ok to hit a women on a bike if she's wearing a helmet. Amazing logic.
  11. To OP: Seems like you have some info on your thread. Filter out the best ideas. Good luck and let us know what you decided and how the work went.
  12. Well New Mexico info is very helpful here..thank you????
  13. As I said just a rubber grommet not too high/thick. but rubber washers is also basically the same....so either way a good starting point. From your picture, the unit is just sitting on the frame, as is normal. What I meant was fixed braces (of some type) on the upper portion of the unit and the house wall, which would keep the unit stable. As for you doing the work yourself, that's your call, and if you think its beyond your capabilities then get the guys that installed it to come and do it for you. Looks like they did a good job, but not professional if they left out the rubber mounts on the frame. They should fix it for free.
  14. Rubber grommets will help the vibration, but the humming is coming from the compressor, and I presume an inverter type aircon, and this probably cannot be fixed. Many inverter units, of various manufacturers make a humming noise. As for the rubber grommets. Don't buy them too big in height, then cut them, so they will open up and slide in around the bolt. Just loosen the bolts/nuts enough to accommodate this. Should help. Also might try putting 2-3 braces between the unit and the house wall, so the unit cannot move, which might also help stop the vibration. Good luck..
  15. Good you got an answer, but be aware that what IMM says on the phone could be entirely different with an IO at the border.
  16. If you are going to do that, then why open a thread on this. You have many answers with basically the same information on what you need to do..so be grateful for the help.
  17. Untrue---Thai citizen with dual nationality can enter/exit on their foreign passport if they so desire, but of course will be under the same visa/entry restrictions as a foreigner.
  18. He must exit on the EU passport, as that is what he entered on. Importantly if he doesn't exit on the EU passport, he will eventually be on overstay (as he entered as a foreigner, not as a Thai). After exiting on the EU passport, he can re-enter on his Thai passport at any time.
  19. Its been nearly a year now for this TM6 change, so you should try to keep up with the news.
  20. Yep definitely a Time Traveller. A 'swooshbuckler'.
  21. After a certain period of time (about a month I think), individual transactions are consolidated when you update your bankbook. If you need itemised transactions for this period, you must ask the bank to print out for you. It has always been this way. (eg: if someone needed their book with every transaction recorded for an immigration extension, then they would need to update every 2 weeks or so).
  22. Small shop in Tepprasit, coming from Sukhumvit it is about 100m down on the right hand side from the PTT station. Been there for years, have what you need.
  23. But I believe you cannot just cancel your RET ext, and apply for a Marriage ext, until the RET ext renewal due date, unless you leave the country without a re-entry permit, which will cancel your RET ext. I had a similiar case years ago, but things may have changed?
  24. Bit touchy there... You said you weren't sure he was lying or not...I answered that for you...
