You don't go to you bank to make the change, you make the change with mobile your phone provider, and it's very easy if you have your provider's app. My bank account had my full name and my pink ID card was used as the id to open the account. When I originally got my mobile phone # AIS did not register my details at all. So when I received my first data mismatch message from the bank I updated my profile via the app and used my passport #. I received a 2nd mismatch message and when I contacted the bank they advised me that they ahd used my pink id card # to open my account, not my passport #. So all I had to do was login to the app again (in my case AIS) and update my profile and change the passport # to my pink id card #. All good, no more mismatch messages from the bank.

with AIS you can update this info via the AIS app.

no that was the issue I had. My mobile was registered with my passport and Krungthai bank used my pink ID as ID for the bank account because it was opened to receive my tax refund. As the ID's did not match I had to contact my mobile phone provider and change my ID to the pink ID card #. Either way, whichever form of ID you use, they must be an exact match with the bank and mobile provider.

this doesn't just apply to mobile phone numbers registered since 2022. My mobile was registered in 2014 when I moved to Thailand, and I received notification from Krungthai Bank a few months ago with regards to this. So just make sure that the data on both matches exactly, viz full name and the form of ID used to open the bank account and register the mobile number. If you've had a passport renewal and updated that info with the bank make sure you also update that info with the mobile service or the bank will restrict your online banking use until you do.

I guess like everything, it depends on who checks the paperwork.

Just completed my 9th retirement extension in CM the week B4 Songkran and it's ALWAYS been a requirement to include a copy of your latest 90 day report even though the original is stapled in the back of my passport.

It's not misleading at all. You do understand that by ending the heading with a ? the OP is asking a question as to whether or not there have been any changes to the rules, he is NOT making a statement.

My experience has been similar in the 11 years I've been here. The Thais that know me away from my village ALWAYS call me Mr xxxx. The Thais in my village address me in 2 different ways these days, either leung (uncle) xxxx or Por Luong (father of the village) as my wife is the Mai Luong for the village. The only time I'm aware of being called a farang is when I'm with a group of Thais I've never met before, and then that only lasts a short time, as my wife always introduces me as Leung. The only time I've ever heard the term farang directed at me in a derogatory manner was years ago when out cycling through a village I hadn't been to previously and an old lady, who had obviously been influenced by Anutin calling us dirty farangs, called myself and my cycling companion dirty farangs as we rode past her house, even though we were cycling with a group of Thais. As much as I'd very much like to be able to speak Thai, despite all the lessons I've had I find it very difficult to remember most of it. I'd say my Thai language is advanced tourist Thai.

there were 2 quakes in Myanmar in 2023. 31/05/23 in Mohnyin 5.9 & on 07/06/23 at Ayeyarnwady 4.8. I received text alerts on my Samsung phone for both of these quakes whilst our house in the NW of CM Province was shaking from the tremors.

With all previous tremors I've received an SMS alert (no app required) on my Samsung phone while the shaking was still happening. Not this time.

Once again for the aussies in this forum "Some online tax accountants are advising the Australian/Thailand DTA does not protect an Australian account based superannuation pension from taxation when the payments are brought into Thailand, however the aged pension is exempt from Thailand tax." I have had this confirmed by my District Revenue Office, CM Revenue Office and CM have sought confirmation from BKK and the response was that as the aussie aged pension is actually a social security payment it is NOT assessable income under Thai Tax law.

why would you want to travel to the US with all the crap going on at the moment with ICE. legit visas being cancelled in the Immigration systems and people trying to enter the USA LEGALLY being arrested, placed in a detention center for up to 14 days AND put in chains before being deported. At the very least wait until the convicted orange felon is no longer dictator/emperor of the US.

they may not know who started the fires, so prosecute the owners of the land the fires are on. If it's govt land, prosecute the govt dept. The land owners will know who's starting the fires, so they can dob them in for a reduced penalty.

only a deluded, brainwashed MAGA moron would make such a comment.

we were for the Korean war but we were the right age for Vietnam.

Bob, are you running out of imaginary stories to post. This one is almost identical to a previous post you've made under the same title.

Bob is the one wearing the red cap, and Peter is tucked under his arm.

IMHO I believe there's an ongoing competition between the OP, Bob & Glamma to see who can post the most brain numbing, idiotic topics on ASEAN NOW. Time for the mods to put an end to their never ending stupidity.

My question is, as the 4 arrested are not minors, and they're obviously guilty, why are their faces not being shown.?

it was a PADI course and part of the course rules were that you had to be able to swim 100 metres. At Koh Tao that was done by swimming out from the shore 50 metres and then back 50 metres. It could be freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, even dog paddle, as long as it could be done non stop, and it was not an extra rule, the same rule of being able to swim 100 metres also applied at the PADI dive schools in Sydney too. It may not be a rule now based on your comment, but back then it was definitely the case. I wasn't a strong freestyle swimmer, so I did it breastroke, they even gave me the option of being able to wear fins but it had to be 200 metres.

You can't assume that divers, especially learner divers, are good swimmers. I did my open water course at Koh Tao back in 2010 and there was a group of Chinese in one of the other classes. They all got through the in pool training and struggled to pass the swimming test, but when it came time for their first real dive, the moment they stepped off the boat into the water they all panicked. Turns out they couldn't swim at all, and when they did the swim test it was low tide, so their feet were always able to touch bottom. Needless to say, they were hailed out of the water, taken back to shore and kicked out of the dive school, and lost their dive school fees to boot.

and so it starts. Just tell her NO.

CM Revenue Office do not send out cheques anymore. They'll either send you a letter or a text message which you then MUST take to Krungthai Bank, and if you don't have an account with Krungthai you will need to open one. They will then credit your account with the tax refund amount stated in the letter/text message.

this just looks like Bob the BS artist posting under an alias.
