  1. Those of you who have done counter withdrawal at Krungsri with Mastercard, may I ask what branch in Bangkok you did it in, and what exactly do you say to the teller? There are no foreign currency conversion, Mastercard, home bank or local bank fees?
  2. I’ll be doing Non-O retirement visa (800,000 deposit method) at CW next month. Would someone with recent experience please confirm that the required documents have not changed from what I handed over at last year’s extension. I apologize -- I see related posts here, but they confused me. TM 7 Bank book-the book itself and copies of front page, year of entries, bank statement Passport-with copies of photo page, original visa page, last extension, latest entry to Thailand Hand-drawn map of address Various other forms the officer gives you at appointment. Thank you.
  3. Thanks for v. helpful replies. Probably a naive question, but how do I know which of these small forwarding companies to trust with my credit card details?
  4. Has anyone used a company that provides a U.S. address to receive online orders and then ships them to Thailand? What was experience and can you recommend one? I need stuff from Amazon, Costco, etc., that they do not ship overseas. Thanks.
  5. FYI, yesterday I did notification at CW just to be safe. Officer told me that you do not need to do notification if you leave country during the 7-day grace period.
  6. FYI, it finally arrived today, 62 days after it was mailed.
  7. Thanks, maybe I will wait for a few more days then before reporting the card lost.
  8. Mine also new credit card. My brother addressed to my Thai Post Office P.O. box also. Standard air mail. Maybe time to report card lost?
  9. I still haven't received a letter my brother in Washington State posted on Oct. 8 to me in Bangkok. I am wondering if it is lost -- or is anyone else experiencing such long waits?
  10. Yes, I did, but then it occurred to me that my planned departure falls into formal grace period so that may make it okay.
  11. I was prescribed in U.S. duloxetine 20 mg delayed release (Cymbalta) for migraines. In Bangkok pharmacies I have found generics Duloz and Zyduz, only in 30 mg and 60 mg. If you are taking them, could you pls tell me: -- Are they also delayed release? -- Says "hard capsule" on box; does that mean I could break into 20 mg portions? Actually, I guess if they are delayed release, I could not break since I would then lose the delayed capability? Also wonder if any hospitals carry the 20 mg. Thanks.
  12. I re-entered Thailand in Oct and my 90-day notification is due Dec. 18. Since it will be the first notification after re-entering, I must do in person at CW. However, I plan to depart again on Dec. 19 or 20, during the 90-day grace period of 7 days. So do I need to do the notification? Appreciate hearing from someone who was in this situation. Thanks.
  13. Thanks to all for responses to my original query. Know of any physical store in Bangkok where I can try Google Nest Audio or similar. I have not been able to find. Also, maybe wait for Gemini next year? Or can speaker purchased now be upgraded online to Gemini next year (probably a dumb question)?
  14. Actually, do I need to count Sept. 20 as first day of countdown and add 89 days? In which case due date would be Dec. 18 and I would have to file?
