exactly. That kind of updating process will not show that you still have the 800k in the bank 3 months after your extension is processed, and it will not show that you have it 2 months prior to the next extension. The passbook has zero history between updates, just all the transactions lumped together. I have a dedicated passbook for Immigration and fell foul of this very early on, even before the current rule of 3 months after came into effect. So every year I print my own statements, in colour, and have the bank stamp and sign the page relevant to the month I'm doing my extension. Don't get charged a fee, and Immigration have always accepted. The thing to remember is that Immigration cannot tell the difference between a statement issued by the bank or one that you print yourself, if you print in colour, as they are identical in appearance, and the stamp and signature make it look like the bank has issued it.

Don't be surprised if you still get asked for statements. When passbooks are updated they do not update transaction by transaction, they just total the deposits total the withdrawals since the last update. The statements are to show that you've met the seasoning requirements, viz. 3 months after and then 2 months prior.

Same here. Had 4th jab yesterday, and MOPH was updated before leaving the health center.

I print my own 12 month statement from my bank's (ttb) online banking site. I print it in colour and when I go to get my bank guarantee letter I ask them to stamp and sign the the most recent page, viz the month that I'm doing my extension. No issues at all with the bank about this, and accepted by Immigration.

The format of a Thai will makes provision for you to dictate how your remains are disposed of .e.g. cremation, burial or repatriation to home country. How many more threads on this topic have to appear before people realise how easy it is to sort these things out, AND you do not need a lawyer if you have nominated an executor in your Thai will.

The match may have been in the planning for 2 years, BUT tickets only went on sale earlier this year. So another typical ASEAN Now uninformed comment.

well if you look at what they just charged for the Liverpool v Man U game ( 100% mark up on the prices agreed to by both clubs ) then they already have one aspect perfected.

they have pro shops but they don't sell clubs, just accessories, balls, shirts, gloves, tees etc.

No, a donkey would have polled better than uncle Tu

Try looking up[ Leonian Thailand, they are located in Krung Thep ( Bangkok )have a Facebook page and they are the authorised distributors for Callaway in Thailand. Also try Photalai Golf Park, there used to be an authorised Callaway retail outlet there. That's where I got my last set of Callaway's in 2015

I've heard that Thanya Plaza is no longer the golf shopping paradise as it has been closed for the last 12 months. I'd suggest contacting the distributor for Callaway in Krung Thep (Bangkok) and he should be able to steer you in the right direction.

"Under AIS’s pre-paid phone service program, customers who pay 50 baht can use the service for five days, 300 baht for 30 days and 500 baht for 50 days or 1,500 baht for 365 days". What a load of codswallop. I use AIS prepaid and top up with only 50 baht and that allows me to use the service for 30 days NOT 5 days. Have been using the service this way for 8 years now.

check that rate again. It's been below 25. ( low to mid 24's) for the last month or so. Even though the AUD is not that strong against the USD, it seems to be the only currency that the baht is getting stronger against.

You've missed my point completely. The ticket prices agreed to by L F C & Man U were supposed to range from GBP57.00 (2,500.00THB) up to GBP285.00 (12,500.00 THB) NOT the 15,000 THB to 25,000 THB they were actually sold for. This is where the real scandal lies, not what the singer is doing.

The real scandal is not how she managed to buy so many tickets, BUT the fact that the ticket prices ( for all sections) were DOUBLE the ticket prices that Liverpool and Man U agreed to.

50k baht damage is expensive, but truth be known the bike would have cost considerably more. My all graphite road bike was 62k baht. These guys that compete at that level would be paying hundreds of thousands of baht for their bikes.

(raw weed is inactive one will never get stoned no matter how much is consumed). Not entirely true. Made a pot of marijuana tea just steeping the leaves in boiling water and some milk, no buds, and was high for around 8-10 hours after drinking just 2 cups in the space of an hour.

Come on people. Thailand is actually slow in implementing a law of this nature. It is illegal in almost every western country for a business to use a persons image for advertising purposes without their written consent and payment for the use thereof. There have been numerous court cases in the USA and Australia over the past 30 years, that I've read about in the media, where individuals have sued business' for the unauthorised use of their image, and won

CM definitely requires health insurance for Non O-A based on retirement, and has done so since the inception of the health insurance requirement. The amount of insurance for new visa applications increased, last year, from 400k I.P and 40k O.P to 3 million. This increase also becomes effective for extensions of stay from 1 Sept 2022. I regularly play golf with one of the senior IO's at CM and I can't even get around not having health insurance for my O-A based on retirement. The only way I can see you not having to have insurance is to be on a Non Imm O.

Thai wills ONLY apply to your Thai assets. If you have assets in your home country, then you will require a separate will applicable to that jurisdiction.

yes it does if you know where to look.

What a joke announcement. I was in Hua Hin last week and the bars, pubs etc were fully operational, day & night, and some bars were still open at 3.00 a.m.

We used this company for our roof gutters. SEAMLESS ROOF & GUTTER (seamlessroof-gutter.com) They only seem to be in 1 location, viz. Chiang Mai. So that might be an issue depending on where you're located.

Just came back from Hua Hin where the hotel I stayed at strictly enforced mask wearing. Most of the farangs staying there were not wearing masks and refused to even after hotel staff asked them to wear them. So the hotel manager called a meeting of all the farangs staying at the hotel and also had local police in attendance. Hotel guests were told in no uncertain terms that refusal to wear a mask both in and around the hotel and outside would result in them being refused entry to the hotel and being told to leave with no refunds. The police also told them of the maximum penalties for non mask wearing that were still applicable under the emergency decree. Needless to say all complied from that point onwards. many did state their travel agents did not advise them of the mask wearing requirements but that argument was quickly shot down when they were asked if they did their own research before travelling as to the requirements in Thailand. All answered no.

A great week of golf was had, despite the Monday round at Black Mountain being washed out.
