Once again you post in ignorance. That will be more than sufficient to cover the 4 family members.

I said that already. .....and especially don't try and lodge it with the British embassy.

Do you wear a sarong in Thailand? That is cultural.

Correct................the ONLY purpose of an English Will in Thailand is to facilitate translation into Thai - that is what Probate would be approved on. But you can't 'register' a Will at the amphur unless it is in Thai.

Not necessary. To register at the amphur I would not be able to understand what the Will said as it has to be in Thai. The Will is only a backup for my partner in case she cannot access/remove my bank funds in the manner we have planned ie online.

Executors can be (should be) friends who carry out your wishes free of charge. The Thai estate is likely to be minimal. No need for a 'professional' executor unless the estate in Thailand is complicated. I have a separate Will for assets in the UK.

Cost me nothing, I drew it up myself. A half page document duly signed and witnessed, with a Thai based executor.

Certainly not me. Your apparent bleating in your earlier post seems a bit redundant now you have changed from "I have no money...". Live well.

You might as well top yourself....................you don't seem to have much to live for.

Have you asked your sons? Is there any reason why they would want to come? What if you die in another country? I had these discussions with my daughters a few years back..............No, they have no wish to attend the cremation (in itself very difficult because the Thais don't hang about lighting up that fire). No, they do not want my ashes sent back to the UK (they believe that I as I have chosen Thailand as my home, it is right that I should be cremated there). My Will states that I wish to be cremated in the country in which I die - saves any ridiculous repatriation costs. When I am dead, I am dead, and my daughters share my belief that life is for the living. My Will also allocates GBP 1,000 for a 'family' celebration of my life and a small memorial (if they want one) at my UK crematorium.

A couple of years ago I think we paid 2,500 Baht for 6 of us.

You can't have 2 valid passports. You will need to transfer the stamps to the new passport. Use old and new bank books.

There are many - leave from the slipway near SCB bank. Just pick up a phone number off the side of one of the boats. The last number I used was 0851579230.

If his reentry permit is cancelled then his exit cancels any permission to stay. He would be subject to entry requirements applicable to the country of origin of his passport.

Not necessarily. There would no issue until the reentry permit holder returned to Bangkok. On arrival it should be simple, cancelled reentry permit= 30 days visa exempt entry.

Reincarnated................

Never had a problem with the online system...it works fine. Obviously, some people will always look for an excuse.

Harsh... .....but fair.

Just send airmail, I have never had a problem. If the package was that valuable I would use a courier - or take it myself.

Yes, but the cremulation process is quite simple after that. The families receive an urn with only 'ashes'.

Yes. I own the crematorium.

Indeed, that is normal. Obviously, the heat does not match up to the 1,000 degrees Celsius that we get at my crematorium in the UK.

Just think about that comment. You think the Thai authorities could manage that ?

Have the numbers been clarified, notably the amount of savings required if you cannot meet the income criteria.
