  1. Big article in the Nation newspaper today on this new face scan for scamming and security reasons.
  2. Actually it is nearly every bank....right now its SCB, BKK Bank, Kasikorn, Krungsri, Krungthai. I went to today to one of my banks..phone and passport in hand....quite a simple process. Will do 2-3 more banks tomorrow.
  3. Yes we know they are still required for land crossings.
  4. As of last Friday most banks were showing 1.25-1.35 % pa on a Fixed deposit. That is for 12 mths. 24 mths is a tad higher. Hope that helps.
  5. That week you have 1st, 4th and 5th as public holidays. So only 2nd/3rd are open business days.
  6. I don't want to get into an argument on this but you have interpreted my post incorrectly. I mentioned nothing about overstay or implied it. My post informed the OP that he would be in the 30 day consideration period on his marriage extension when he went to obtain his new WP, and that he might want to check up on that point before going to renew. So you still have time to correct your mistake..thank you.
  7. I said may have a problem, not will have a problem, so instead of just saying its not correct, tell me why.
  8. The only problem you may have is that you will have a 30 days consideration period on your 'Marriage extension", so on May 8th you do not actually have a valid extension. This could be problematic, so some research is needed i believe.
  9. Good opportunity.. buy and fix it up if it was that beautiful.
  10. And those 3 places are not in Thailand...??strange
  11. You must have a lot of time on your hands. Can't believe a person would open a new thread on missing a stop on the BTS, and then thinking about lodging a complaint... Amazing!!.
  12. Wrong info.. Once it lapses, you will not be charged, unless you actually go to a branch and physically request a new card. Basically no valid card, no charges.
  13. "Euro Law", in the small soi adjacent to Big C Pattaya Thai. I have used them for over 15 years for various legal matters. He is a lawyer and Notary Public. She speaks perfect Thai and English.
  14. Just remember each company has to have so many shareholders, so if you leave the company may need to find another person, but the lawyer will advise you/them on this. You are a Director because you are a shareholder, so you can resign from that position anytime. But as also advised above, you must have a Lawyer sort this out, to be safe and legal. Good luck.
  15. In your situation you don't have to do an actual physical driving test, but you must do the normal tests (which would include colour test, brake reaction test, plus looking at a road safety video). This would take about 2 hours depending on how busy they are. You would initially get a 2 year licence...cost 500 baht). There are a few agents in Pattaya that will walk you through the process (not to costly) if thats what you prefer. You are obviously not in Thailand yet, so look through the past threads on this subject of agents etc.
  16. You are doing the 90 days for the Visa/Extension that goes along with the WP, not for the WP itself.
  17. A bold statement..I presume you include yourself in this assessment.
  18. Before one of the do-gooders pipes up that it's an extension (not a Visa), then yes we are all aware of that.
  19. Good resume, but not one iota of experience to run a country (similiar to her Auntie). So it boils down as this---the popular option for PM is going to have a baby just after the elections (which will definitely interfere with PM duties), she hasn't any suitable qualifications to be PM and is only popular with people because of her father---"the will of the people"..haha.
  20. In your situation as you've laid out, (as with all Thai banks), you need to show up in person with passport and original bankbook. Unfortunately because your ATM card is blocked and you don't have online banking, there is no other way to get your money out of the account, or transfer it to an overseas account.
  21. Yes of course it is...as posted previously in the thread.
  22. Strange post...why knock it, or perhaps you don't use it and are going on hearsay. Its an excellent app, that you can tailor to your own needs.
  23. Yes--when you return they will stamp you only up to the extension expiry date.
  24. Very helpful post for the Op!
