I'm thinking of a 500w security spotlight pointing at my fence, which by default is also in the direction of her place.

Yeah, that should work.

Usual anti Thai crowd instantly agreeing with his claim that the surgery was 'botched' which supports his plea for free money.

The easiest way to correct the problem would be to have 3 cm removed from the other leg.

I do not have a TV. ????

But you almost certainly have that thingy called internet.

Some people get their 'TV' programs via streaming, you should try it.

The simple answer is to just restore a backup made before the time these 'viruses' appeared.

You have made backups I assume ?

In your example above, you don't specify  that that case involved an actual amphur will... where the original certified will is kept on file at the amphur office.

 

But in the more general case assuming it was an amphur will, it would have been up to the will maker to revoke/cancel whatever prior will he had on file with the amphur and replace it with a new one reflecting his current/latest circumstances.

 

I don't see any risk/flaw in the amphur will process regarding all that... unless the will maker simply drops the ball.

 

If you are living in the same area you could do it also wherever you are you could collect and destroy any previous copies.

However, in law the latest last written legitimate will is the one a court will recognise. There is no legal requirement to revoke or cancel any 

will previously lodged at an Amphur

In fact any will would normally state in its preamble 'This will revokes all previous wills' or words to that effect. That has the legal effect of cancelling previous wills.

The question as to whether a bank allows money to be withdrawn on presentation of a will arises quite often on this forum.

I don't believe that a 'pay on death' mandate is in use here or even if it's legal, so that's not available.

A bank may recognise a valid will when it sees one but it has no way of knowing it is the last will made by the deceased, which is of course the only valid will. Therefore a bank is correct if they do not release funds on the sight of any will.

Actual case... Many years ago a friend who I had known for many years died he had been previously married then divorced then remarried, all in Thailand. About a week after his death got a call from a friend of ours who worked at the bank saying someone was trying to access the deceased account and it was not his wife, who he also knew. It was his first wife with an old will. I wont go into what happened when current wife us and others turned up at the bank. I learnt a lot of derogatory Thai phases.  Result was ex wife did not get the money.

Most Retirement accounts cannot have CcC attached. ONLY YOU HAVE ACCESS. In other words to function it's Face to Face, must present your Passport. Only you have access.

Thought that was an American requirement relating to direct Govt. payments.

As said, certainly not a Thai Immigration rule.

Like in the 3rd Reich

Absolute rubbish.

If you are on overstay then you are here illegally. The Immigration Police are doing the job they are paid for.

If anyone wishes to disregard any laws. regulations or laws in Thailand, for whatever reason, then that is up to them , but don't start bleating when there are consequences.

There are two sides to every story. 

Usually 3 sides if you include "the truth".

For those that fully satisfy the requirements for an extension the use of an agent is surely personal choice and does not in any way signify the size of ones brain.

Reading this sub forum for even a few times it is obvious that not all immigration offices are equal.

For those that get hassled and spend a whole day, or more, for a simple extension then use of an agent makes sense. For those that live relatively near an Immigration office and are in and out in 30 mins then an agent, IMHO, is unnecessary.

Personally, I drive within 2Km of Immigration once or twice a month anyway so not a problem  I did my 'one year' this week, took just under 30 mins. No agent. In all the years doing extensions have never been asked for money or additional forms (not saying it does not happen to some.

Full disclosure... yes I have used an agent in the past. First ever Marriage extension, 'agent' cost 500 baht, extension cost 500 baht. Money well spent. After getting extension agent said 'now you know you can do it yourself next year'

Perfect example of 'got the hump'.
