wills do not need to be registered at an amphur (or anywhere else).
I said that already.
.....and especially don't try and lodge it with the British embassy.

Just now, Negita43 said:The masks most people wear don't protect them - they protect others. Enough said about the selfishness of those farangs who don't in a country where mask wearing is part of the culture of caring for others welfare.
Do you wear a sarong in Thailand?
That is cultural.

Wills in Thailand are valid written in English or Thai (or any other language), they just have to be translated into Thai for probate, etc.
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.

Did you remember to register it at the Amphur?
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.

If so, what were the costs, about?
Cost me nothing, I drew it up myself. A half page document duly signed and witnessed, with a Thai based executor.

On the contrary, I realised many years ago that money does not buy happiness. I used to be a $ millionaire, but nowadays my total assets are probably less than 1 million baht. Has that made me want to top my self? Absolutely not!!
I have more than enough money for my needs, including renting a big house and garden, paying for private medical insurance etc etc. I have zero debts and no liabilities. I live in a beautiful and cheap location (Luang Prabang) and have to pay no personal tax, no council tax etc etc. My daily spend on food, petrol etc is less than 500 baht. I have an enjoyable hobby (ham radio) and have a daily income from teaching science online (I have about 280 private 1-1 students across the world). My health is reasonably good and I kicked my 3 ex wives into touch yonks ago!
Given all the above, who should top themselves? Me or you? :)
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.

Life is so much more simple when you have no money and no family who cares about you! :)
You might as well top yourself....................you don't seem to have much to live for.

3 hours ago, retarius said:Berro, I put it in my will that I wanted to be cremated in Thailand. I noted that they should hold the funeral in the event that my sons wanted to come to the send off.
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.

1 minute ago, axeladolf1 said:I am on non-o retirement and my annual extension is due now.
I do come with a new passport though old and new are both valid for the time being.
I fulfill all conditions required (Koh Samui).
My bank informed me (Bangkok Bank) that with the new passport my data for their system has to be changed and they suggested to issue the new bank book when I get the statement and the transaction record, thus immediately invalidating the old bank book .
Does that make sense or would immigration be confused?
for any advice
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.

Unless the re-entry permit holder isn't eligible for visa exempt entry. Then it isn't quite so simple.
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.

If OP is correct this would be totally illogical even by Immigrations standard.
Every day they would face dozens of long stayers fronting up with cancelled reentry permits. It would cause chaos.
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.

Good for you but you not all of the older citizens are technically savvy and probably don’t have a smart phone.
There has also been loads of reports the system doesn’t always work.
Never had a problem with the online system...it works fine.
Obviously, some people will always look for an excuse.

He should be lingering in a jail cell like any other common prisoner, then maybe he would truly understand the average Thai persons life. He and his charade prison sentence are just symbols of everything that is wrong in Thailand. I wouldn't spit on him or his cohorts if they were on fire, let alone give him a nice pampered suite in a 5 star RTP hospital.
Harsh...

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

Even then bone is left over and is ground to powder.
Yes, but the cremulation process is quite simple after that.
The families receive an urn with only 'ashes'.

(When my wife was cremated, there was more bone than ash for the urns.)
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.

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

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