Here in Chiang Mai at Bangkok Hospital I have always been given an estimate of costs, without my asking, whenever surgery was to be performed. The final bill has never exceeded the estimate.

It's on Middle Ring Road

Chiang Mai IMM requires filing a new TM30 when returning from an overseas trip even though you are returning to your same address as already on file with a TM30.

I do it all the time. Thai DL & US passport

Same here too. Interestingly, On 19 June 2024, my wife received her 7162 form dtd Jun. 06, 2024. We waited a few days to receive mine and it never arrived. Until yesterday. However, on 28 June 2024 she emailed hers back to the SSA. I proceeded to completed a blank form and mailed my 7162 form back to the SSA on 10 August 2024. Neither of us have received a second 7162 notice for failing to report in response to the first mailing. I'm going to complete the one I received yesterday and mail it back anyways. I reached out to the Philippines SSA for assistance in July and they were of no help....

When we've sold our cars, we include the First Class insurance as an incentive for the buyer to purchase our vehicles. To do this you need to notify your insurance carrier that you've sold the car and provide a copy of the new buyer(s) ID (& there may be additional docs) to your insurance carrier so they can send the new buyer a copy of the endorsed policy in their name.

Earlier this year when I renewed my annual extension of stay & demonstrating compliance with the minimum of 400K baht 2 months prior to applying, the IO required 2 sets of copies of every single page of my fixed account passbook, which has was opened 5+ years ago and never was less than 400K baht at anytime.

And I don't use an agent and never even had one police visit since I moved top my present address 10 years ago

Thanks for posting. What they had told me didn’t make sense. I’ve taken my Honda SUV to this emissions testing station for years without any problems. If I haven’t sold my Everest when my first emissions testing comes around, I’ll try other neighborhood emissions stations

I took my Ford Everest to a local emissions station to have them handle my renewal of my annual registration at the DLT. I was told that when my Everest required its’ emissions testing starting in 2026, I would have to take it to the local DLT center for them to perform the smog check as the weight of the Everest exceeded the maximum allowed for vehicle testing at the local emissions testing stations. Can anyone verify this to be a correct statement?

Yesterday while at CM IMM I asked if I would be required to submit an "updated" TM30 for my same/current address should I depart Thailand for a short holiday and return to my current/same address, the response was YES; is mandatory....

After seeing your post I too sent an em to FBU Manila asking for assistance since I did not yet received the annual 7162 form (and my wife did receive in June). FBU Manila sent a quick response attaching the form; but did not include an address to return the form to but with a partial return address if you were returning the form by "courier". Here's what they wrote: "To avoid the suspension of your benefits, please complete the form as soon as you receive it and send it back via regular postal mail using the enclosed business reply envelope. You do not have to send the form via courier service; however, if you wish to do so, you may use the following address for courier service: Social Security Administration Wilkes-Barre Direct Operations Center Attention: FEQ Analyst – Courier Service 1150 E. Mountain Dr. Room 341 Wilkes Barre, PA xxx-xx-xxxx U.S.A. " No full zip code for "courier" service. And certainly no "return envelope"...LOL (And I do have the address to return to because of my prior year mailings, anyways....)

It was just as crowded in March when I did my extension of stay annual renewal

I did the same. But when I tried to use my new login.gov, for logging into the SSA, while the 2 methods of authentication I had chosen for the login.gov worked fine (Thai tel ## SMS & Code sheet) I still was required to input an "Authentication Code" they said that they had sent to me and if I didn't have one to go to another page to fill in my telephone number (only US tel ##'s allowed, couldn't input my Thai mobile ## I had set up for login.gov to receive SMS successfully) & my home address (only US addresses allowed and not my address here in Thailand registered already with the SSA). So while the login.gov login works in and of itself, I still can't access my SSA account with it. Glad I got ID.me set up w/o such difficulties........that gets me to my SSA account.....
