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.

If he had any decently about him he would have had the Tom Tit in the bed of his pick up truck , talk about not sh#ting on your own doorstep

The best and cheapest way is to take a hot chick from a bar and have sex with her 3 times then refuse to pay her . Then you can practice all those martial art moves on her as she chases you around with a beer bottle in her hand

Unfortunately poor old Ubon Joe cant advise you from his grave , God rest his soul

I did exactly what your intending and as soon as I received the new Visa extension I stopped transferring the 65,000 every month. The following year I just showed them the required proof of the 800,000 in my bank and like you I had also had it in my bank for all the time I had been transferring the 65,000. There were no problems for me and this was at Phuket immigration. The thing is that now I am in January going to start the 65,000 transfers into Thailand , to enable me to get the Visa extension in February 2025. I really myself am almost certain that they won't tax us on the 65,000 income method and I am going to send the 800,000 back out to the UK in May 2024 . The reason for ne is I now prefer to have the 800,000 earning 4.5% interest in the UK

Good answer , I agree

The exact same thing happened to me in Phuket just after I used an ATM. I told her more or less the same as you did , I hung around a bit , then I saw her meet up with her foreign boyfriend , so definitely a scam to get free money in my case.

Why all the fuss , last time I was back in the UK a copper lent me his helmet so I could take a selfie

I put my tree and lights up last night and even put on a festive movie to get me in the mood

Whatever there selling I hope it's in Stable Condition
