Same here.

It was a 0.1% dip.............let's keep things in perspective. Admittedly a small growth figure was expected, but these are fine margins. No argument about Starmer being a nob.

That wouldn't happen........and we both know it. 😉 It is a non-issue. (I used to attach my baggage receipt to the boarding pass stub - just to make sure that I didn't throw it away before getting through baggage reclaim). Viva la mobile application.

My you have woken up in a judgemental mood! I fully understand your comment - it is just irrelevant. Anyone could indeed choose not to board (as Hannah Waddingham did in the final programme in Ted Lasso) - but then you would not arrive in another country. The electronic records are key and the e-gate system is working - on my return (after exiting via e-gates a week earlier) my IO was unconcerned about any lack of exit stamp - does that surprise you? There is also eviddence that these electronic records are accessible by the Department of Work and Pensions - a friend (who had not advised DWP that he was returning to Thailand) had his pension payment chopped back immediately after his return).

It is pretty good evidence to me - and probably why Immigration at Swampy often ask to see at arrival. I now show the boarding pass on the app when I present my passsport.

I tried an edible before a recent flight and i am sure it helped in me getting more sleep than normal.

Don't focus on the fee but look at the net Baht you receive. WISE fees appear high but the headline rate is so much better than the banks that you are always better off using WISE.

That comment appears unjustifiably judgemental.

Police

I just completed this quiz. My Score 70/100 My Time 177 seconds  

Yep....presumably....that is why I sailed through

That is incorrect.

Plus the price of stress - and queing, there is always queing at Jomtien ...........however well we think that we know the requirements, the ability of immigration to throw in a curved ball at any point is well documented. That plus the feeling that immigration sometimes give you the impression that you are sh!t on their shoes - just not worth it.

Yet you care enough to make a comment...................let it slide, he is entitled to his opinion.

Thanks. Hence the joint police/immigration operations.

Yes, but he won't come back on here and post his change of view.

There is no law and no one in 18 years has been able to reference any part of the Civil and Commercial Code, that say syou have to carry your passport at all times. Evidence suggests that the "reasonable time" principle holds good - although there are stories of the police not making it easy to access said passport (by detaining the holder).

A valid Thai passport is a valid passport all around the world. What America does is irrelevant.

Your mate is not wrong......I had 3 or 4 calls to the UK of 20+ minutes duration. Less than 10 Baht each.

So, imagine what it must be like for the younger ones.

Wannabe.....😉

All mandates cease on death and whilst a surviving joint account holder is entitled to the funds, by succession, banks are likely to want see Probate (estate administration in Thailand) procedures followed. That may well cause delays. I still think the best advice is not to advise the bank and use ATM/Online banking to disperse the funds (if required) - despite the questionable legality of doing that.

It is similar enough to Probate that it almost smells and tastes like Probate:- According to the Civil and Commercial Code of Thailand - the law that governs succession and estate administration - when a person passes away with or without a will and his/her heirs or an interested person wish to transfer, inherit or administer the estate of the decedent, that person must file a petition with the court requesting to be an estate administrator. After being appointed by the court, the estate administrator must distribute the estate to the rightful heirs and/or any other interested person(s), e.g. any creditor(s). Aside from the heirs, any person the decedent designated in his/her will to be an estate administrator is able to petition the court. A public prosecutor can also file a petition if no one is able or willing to be an estate administrator. As Thailand does not have a probate court that specifically deals with wills and estates, the petition appointing an estate administrator must be submitted to the court within the territorial jurisdiction of which the decedent is domiciled at the time of his/her death. If he/she is not domiciled within Thailand, any petition should be submitted to the court having the relevant territorial jurisdiction. The following persons cannot be an estate administrator: A minor (a person under the age of 20) A person of unsound mind or adjudged quasi-incompetent A person adjudged bankrupt by the court Supporting documents that need to be submitted with the petition are usually the death certificate of the decedent, a relative list, birth certificates of the rightful heirs, a marriage certificate (if relevant), a list of assets, and proof of residence of the decedent at the time of his/her death. The process of appointing an estate administrator is generally straightforward and usually takes around 3-4 months to complete. However, complications may arise if, after filing the petition to appoint an estate administrator, an interested person files a response attempting to prove that he/she would be a more suitable estate administrator if appointed. This will render the case contested, meaning that it could potentially become costly and time consuming. It should be noted that the process of appointing an estate administrator is not required if there is no impediment to acquiring the estate of the decedent. For example, if a bank allows an heir to withdraw a small amount of money deposited in the decedent's bank account (usually THB 50,000 or less), it is likely that a court order appointing an estate administrator will not be needed. However, if an heir or a beneficiary wishes to inherit a piece of land that belonged to the decedent, a court order will definitely be required when transferring the ownership of the land.

That may be your choice, but I can find a host of things to do instead of tw4tting about with Immigration.

Time is anything but free. Use it or lose it.......and use it wisely ie not wasting time with Thai immigration.
