Dark chocolate 99/100% cacao content is a winner........... perhaps second to the Cognac.

Surely, you wasting your time replying wins that award! 🙂

To be fair, there is an alcohol issue regarding school kids/schools - but not related to this law. That one prevents alcohol sales within 300 metres of universities and vocational colleges, On this subject why can't gas stations sell alcohol? If the authorities believe that will prevent some drivers drinking then they are as out of touch as we think they are. Sledgehammer approach that prevents passengers buying booze and does not achieve the prevention of drink driving.

Nonsense.

Which was useless. Your post was disingenuous, as usual.

You don't have to attend in person, you can appoint a third party to submit and then collect the renewal.

It most certainly has.

Nonsense. Bangkok is a cosmopolitan city; the census showed that it is home to 567,120 expatriates from Asian countries (including 71,024 Chinese and 63,069 Japanese nationals), 88,177 from Europe, 32,241 from the Americas, 5,856 from Oceania and 5,758 from Africa. Migrants from neighbouring countries include 216,528 Burmese, 72,934 Cambodians and 52,498 Lao.[80] In 2018, numbers show that there are 370,000 international migrants registered with the Department of Employment, more than half of them migrants from Cambodia, Laos, and Myanmar.[78]

My apologies, I didn't know that, I thought Citibank processed all payments. Something else I have learned today....thanks.

Probably the most pointless comment on this forum today. It has absolutely no context. Of course there has always been immigration and emigration. The issue IMO is that the mismanagement of Immigration policy by successive governments. That ineptitude has only been exaggerated by the woke reaction to handling the illegal immigrants. It has all got out of control; can you imagine Thailand having a city that is 60% occupied by non-indigenous Thais? The demographic imbalance will inevitably result in a significant increase in emigration. So. as immigration increases (particularly illegals) so too will emigration. The result will be in line with what a London cabbie told me over 40 years ago - "The English will be a minority in England within 50 years".

I think this law is pointless and ineffective. Those who need drink will get it - and as many are aware, the village shop is virtually 24/7. For a country with 40m visitors a year the law has a negative impact on tourism. Long gone are the days when I dismissed it as 'cultural' or 'it is their country, up to them'. It is simply a big stick, one size fits all approach that is unintelligent. Prohibition has never worked. Drinking should be left to the individual (within reason) to decide upon and if you are, say, Buddhist and Buddhism says you shall not drink on specific days - then be a Buddhist. For those who say it is a mark of respect, on the part of foreigners, to adhere to this pathetic law I say nonsense. Respect has to be earned and prohibitive dictates like this do not earn respect.

Not sure if it is a factor but DWP pension payments are processed through Citibank. It is most likely that your occupational pensions are paid from UK banks.

Not if you block him....

If you can't see it already, no amount of tuition from me will help you.
