Thank you for this

On my Android phone

I try to read the all the topics and news storys on thd Asean Now newsletter that gets emailed to me everyday. Now i am finding it almost impossible to read them as everytime i click on a topic after a few seconds my screen gets blocked by a pop up , does anyone else have this issue or know how to stop them . I have add blocker already on my phone but they just keep popping up and seem to be getting a lot worse as i have shown in the attached screenshots.

In my 23 years of living here i have bought several, i have now given up on the more expensive brand name ones as a Philips one i bought for 1,700 lasted no longer than 2 years. So now i buy the ones from Big C for 169 , the last one has lasted 3 years, and as there so cheap i keep a new spare one in the cupboard. The one someone suggested from Macro with the chrome band round the lid , be careful as the lids dont open fully , which can be annoying whilst trying to fill it up with water as the lid keeps dropping down.

I may have been just lucky in the past as i had previously used 12 month bank statements download from the banking app myself , on extension in January 2023 the official accepted the statement with no bank stamp , on the recent extension last month the bank had stamped the statement i had downloaded and printed myself for me. The problem was part of the account number was masked by some xxx xxx , which i hadnt noticed myself. The immigration offercer pondered over it for a few minutes asking another officer for advice. They were very nice about it and then asked me to open my online banking app to see if i could adjust the masking off the account number in settings. They tried to do it for me but after changing the settings to unmask the account number it still came out partly masked when i received the statement to my email in front of the officers. They kindly asked me if i could therefore go to a local branch 10 minutes away and get the bank to give me a 12 month statement showing the full account number. I did that and was back in the immigration office within 45 minutes and they were then satisfied and stamped my new extension into my passport.

Also a 12 month statement is required in Phuket , the statement must show all of your bank account number , some banks statements downloaded from the internet have part of the account hidden and last month the Phuket immigration would not accept this in my case , i had to obtain one directly from the bank.

I did the same thing 4 years ago , but i never did anything with the 800,000 , i just left it in the Krungsri bank. Then as the GBP to THB strated getting low and UK interest rates were still around 1% , i went back to the 800,000 way. Last month, i did my extension again using the 800,000 but i started again transferring 65,000 via Wise into my Bangkok bank with the intention of doing the 2025 extension using the income method. I asked the very helpful female immigration officer who dealt with my extension last month at Phuket about the procedure for changing over . She clearly told me all i have to do is make sure i keep the 800,000 in my bank for 3 months from my extension date which is actually March 1st. Then obviously make sure the 65,000 are done in every individual month and show international transfer which is easy to fo using Wise and Bangkok bank.

Jail him for 20 years and let him suffer and ruin his life as he has done with innocent children .

Be careful as the appointment came to my quickly but it went to my junk mail and i didn't see itin my phone only when i used my laptop a few days later. Also i printed it out , i didnt go via the young checkers outside but went streight into office at the side next to the drive through.

What i did was a few days before i went i visited there website and booked an online appointment. When i arrived at 1.25 pm i showed the official my appointment that i had printed out and i was honestly given the VIP treatment, he ushered immediately into room 103 and there i met a female officer who was so friendly and helpful,i was in and out in about 10 minutes, so that the next day when i collected my passport i gave her some chocolate and I told her she had made my visit to the immigration a very pleasant experience and i will look forward to coming back next year. This was my 15th extension on retirement at Phuket, and i have never been treated so in such a freindly way.

What ? The guys in uniform ?, no there the police

Its the foreigners fault for being taller than the average Thai , well thats the excuse when a kitchen company fitted and charged me 300,000 baht for a kitchen that ended up with the granete worktops being 75 cm high instead of 90 cm

In Phuket, you can apply up to 45 days before , mine runs out on March 1st so i always apply in mid January

That is exactly what i originally thought .

I couldn't agree more , passbooks went out in the 80s in the UK , i cant see what a passbook would show that a 12 month bank statement wouldn't.

I would recommend Lazada as the best option , there you can buy yourself a lovely wig and have done with it. The girls wont know the differance as long as you use some strong adhesive and dont go riding a motorcycle around on a windy day just in case it blows off and causes you to lose face.

Mine was in Phuket and i got given a roght runaround, SCB send me monthly statements by email for my EZ account

No such luck for me in Phuket, also still about 1.7 million sat n that EZ account getting 1.5% but although i have a tax id , SCB were paying interest every 6 months, June and December they are stopping the 15% tax again after telling me in August they won't. Now they have since October started paying the interest every month with no tax deducted but in December decided to not pay me any interest instead they took the tax out . I have been back to the bank to find out why but to date they can not give me an answer, i have received 3 calls from the call center about but still no explanation, still ongoing

Not for me it didnt , read my post immigration insisted on seeing copys of every page of my bank book and my EZ savings account did not have a bankbook amongst other problems ie no yearly bank statement only monthly

The best place to put tge money us in a Krungsri Mai Thai Dee account it pays just 1%. If you listen to the other posters in here that tell you to use a SCB EZ account then its bad advice. The EZ account does pay 1.5% , i used it 2 years ago and my Visa extension was not renewed and caused me to have to leave the country and enter again snd restart the process. The reason being , the SCB EZ account does not come with a bank book which Immagration insisted on me giving them copys of . I went backward and forward to the bank and immigration several times but could not sort out this issue. Also the with SCB EZ account , you can not get a printout of a combined 12 month bank statement . The statements are issued month by month so i had to print out 12 seperate monthly statement which Imagration again rejected.

I had that same problem once with my girlfriend so I bought her an iron for her birthday

Perhaps he is an ex KGB spy and has decifred all your passwords

Maybe , read the post again, he runs the hotel , he's talking about how much commission Agoda is charging his hotel

Your out of luck Bob , there is no prostitution here , the police have confirmed it. Put on a condom and have a posh <deleted> instead

Most of the Termites in Phuket are Sub Terariam , so they are under the property in a nest buried in the soil. Once you get a termite infestation its difficult to get rid off and they normally come to spray every month. All quite normal to spray the all the wood and base boards , if you dont then within 6 months termites will eat everything even the gypsum ceilings. I went to the Philippines once for a month , when I came back home to Phuket Termites had totally destroyed my new 320,000 baht kitchen.
