Presumably, immigration want to see where the passenger is coming from, just in case they need to send them back?

They need to know what flight they were on so they can enter them into the system. It will save them having to ask as some passenger will not know the flight number.

Many years to late, IF Implemented and why only Phuket?

Just proves that immigration offices can make up they own rules. 

Read the full story not what AN give us'

The E-Extension Visa service is currently available at Immigration Bureau 1 in Bangkok, as well as Immigration Offices in Chonburi, Phuket, and Chiang Mai. However, specific details of the E-Extension service for foreigners in Phuket have not yet been announced on the official Phuket Immigration website.

Thanks for your reply. Do they give you an option to pause the confirmation process in case you need to get something later to submit?

It seems many people get many different requests to confirm. What country are you from? Thanks again

I did not reply for some time. They did not request any additional documents. I only use the website not the app. This may make a difference. Good luck.

My guess is that the mobility scooter was riding on the shoulder of the road but when the shoulder disappears at the bridge, the mobility scooter pulled into the traffic lane. Traffic approaching from behind should have anticipated that the mobility scooter would have to do this and slowed down, but, as is so often the case, the driver probably sped up assuming the mobility scooter would come to a stop and wait until they could cross the bridge safely. This issue would have been the exact same if the vehicle had been a slower moving bicycle, farm vehicle, or motorcycle. If the mobility scooter driver had more experience, she probably would have come to a stop before crossing the bridge, but that doesn't relieve the Isuzu driver of his likely negligence in the accident, especially since the small child riding in the rear was probably very visible, which should have triggered an even higher level of caution and defensive driving. Certainly, his reluctance to let people see the dash cam footage suggests possible awareness that his negligence may have, at least partially, contributed to this tragic accident.

 

The following is from the full story.

Thanawat said that the driver of the electric tricycle suddenly turned and cut off his car. He could not avoid the tricycle and crashed into it. Thanawat refused to release his dashcam footage to the public and refused to give further interviews to the media.

Witnesses corroborated Thanawat’s confession, saying they saw the woman turn right at the same time as the pickup approached. Locals said the woman was not supposed to be riding the electric tricycle, which had a low speed, on the road, which is always busy.

Do you mean before 9am in Australia where the money/account is held?  Which would mean before 6am AEST.

Thanks - I will keep that in mind if anything becomes urgent.

I have made a transfer at 0850 Thai time and was in my bank at 1400

I did a transfer today. Set up and transferred money about 0600 Thai time. In my bank at 1401 and coded FTT.  Transfer from Australia. I use the reason of long term stay.

Go to your local immigration office and ask them. They will hopefully give you the right info. Good luck.

Hello

Did you not read the post, there is NO passbook.

Go to your local Immigration office and ask them. They are the ones who will say ok or not ok. Depending on their answer you may have to change your account. Good luck

I've have two transactions, one large, one small, with the status "We are unable to give you an update at the moment." for almost 24 hours now.

- Not receiving their auto-response help emails either.

 

They are usually fair to good, so hopefully they may just be having "a moment".

 

I had the same message when I paid for a transfer on Friday. It still arrived in my bank on Friaday at 1400. I also received an email when the money was received and sent,

How do the OFX/WISE transfer fees compare?

I used to use OFX. Any transfers over $10,000 AUD there are no fees. The downside is the exchange is poor compare to Wise. You can pay any amount up to 500 baht when it arrives at the Bangkok Bank depending on the amount you send. I used to have an SCB bank account and they used to charge me an additional 200 baht. I changed to Bangkok bank and Wise

Good advice and I agree overall - but I will give you some back.

 

Snakes live on the ground where those ants are too - but unlike the ants they tend to hide - and you only find out they are there when they bite you.  Likewise, I would not ignore those big red 'fire ants' (mod-kun-fai) - they can bite very badly. 

There are tree snakes. https://www.en.siam-info.de/venomous_animals/snakes/chrysopelea.html

You need 65,00 Baht per each calendar month.

Well we are back....online.......thought id rid myself of you guys but nope......Draft hype is over, so the story was always the Eagles wanted Reid, and they got him, then tried to sell off next years 1st round pick to GWS for Curtin....well I think it was GWS, but Adelaide came a calling...bit pissed we didnt take Curtin (they recon he will play round 1) took a quick winger like the one we traded for nothing to the Eagles a few years ago, and let Curtin fall into the arms of the Crows....

 

Never mind.....only got about 14 weeks to go, was I seeing right first game of the year is first week of march us against Rip?

It will be an interesting game. At the SCG Grundy V some old man sorry just rembered Gawn. Old age is a bitch.
