How can someone ''allegedly'' be on Koh Tao ? either they were there or they were not !!! This news article is littered with maybe's or maybe nots, totally worthless imo.

Utterly disgraceful comment by this so called PM.

I wish they'd come and destroy the pigeons infesting my house and garden lol

Try www.mytello.com

and what actually happens to these arrestees ? Do they appear in court and if so what are the likely sentences ?

Mine is located 10 mins away from my home in Nakhon Ratchasima, why they would'nt accept my yellow book/pink card beggars belief. I obtained both the yellow book/pink card whilst being resident in NR.

The mind boggles ehh lol, Tell me how can you use your PP as it does'nt show your address, well mine does'nt lol I think its just all b******* dolled out by totally inept incompetent people who have'nt got a clue what their doing.

Brilliant performance from Alcaraz, so happy that the obnoxious Djokovic lost.

The last time i needed to renew my Thai DL in Korat i thought great now i've got a yellow book and pink ID card i would'nt need a COR from immigration, how wrong i was !!! The local DL renewal center would'nt accept either and insisted i go to the IO and get a COR, beggars belief.......but hey TIT lol

Just about sums up Thailand for me, welcoming this scumbag, ''its all about the money and nothing else matters''

www.mytello.com is what i use, very cheap have a lookie.

Thanks for your post but i for one don't believe that, more like saving on costs etc

Yes indeed, lets hope that is not the case.

Wifey and i are really not happy to use our phones for banking for all the obvious reasons and to be given no option i find that unacceptable. I've had a Bangkok Bank online account for 3 years now due to the needs of Immigration and the 65K income method for my retirement extension and i'm really happy with the service i receive from my local branch, they are very very helpful so for us its a no brainer. Now lets just hope they don't decide to go down the same route as SCB.

My wifey and i have done exactly that and closed both our SCB accounts and opened new accounts with Bangkok Bank.

and you still believe that YOU have control of YOUR money, not imo you don't. Tell ya what try taking the 800K out of the account without making alternative arrangements for your extension, i'll be interested in the outcome.

and once you withdraw the total amount or amounts of money outside of THEIR rules you are not complying with the extension requirements.

and how would one do that ? Your 90 day report runs out on the same day as your extension as they won't allow your 90 day to exceed your extension date. Its no problem they just do your new 90 day along with your extension, i always complete the 90 day form along with my extension form. I then revert to online for future 90 day reports.

There is no way in a million years that i'm going to put 800k in a Thai bank and not have total control and access to it, ITS MY MONEY.

I've been using Korat IO for years and i have to agree with the OP that they are very helpful in general. The only thing that really annoys me is they will give you forms to complete that are only available in Thai !!! so one of the helpful Thai girls that understands English is necessary to help you complete. I do the 65k monthly income method.

Another example of why the UK is <deleted> up imo

Thanks

Hmmmmmm, don't know what happened there, i get virtually the same. I'll have a lookie and report back.

Good question, looking at the form R43 it does indicate at question C5.1 ''Amount before tax'' and at C5.2 ''Tax taken off'' Now that would indicate wifey would be claiming back tax paid.

Update guys..... I called HMRC again yesterday and got put through to a specialist who confirmed wifey will need to claim the personal allowance EACH YEAR using form R43, not an easy task for a Thai national but my mate will help her. Wifey will need to complete Form R43 - https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1143859/R43_Manual__2023.pdf
