  1. I am not competent like Tanoshi, but for the last ten years, I have asked my bank, in Europe, to transfer a certain amount of money to my SCB account.
    In 48H, maximum, I am credited (under the reference X1, on the livret thai) and the only expenses are those of my European bank.
    eg for 7000 euros = 25 euros.
    On request, (for extended long stay) the SCB gives me the details of the transfer, rate included.
    Personally, I do not see any problem. Everything is done from bank to bank.

  2. post 12 Alan Michael, good morning,

    You surely have a lack of knowledge of North Africa and its inhabitants.
    If the beaches and the environment were correct until the 1970s, now it is only degradation of all kinds (houses not maintained, cemeteries and monuments ransacked, garbage cans, rubbish even in flats, chickens and sheep sharing rooms, and beaches serving toilet and barbecues)
    As for poverty, yes, there is, but as in all countries.
    In any case, Europe is very very generous for these countries.
    No need to work, just cross the seas.
    Yes, we have not finished seeing the niqab and the hijab.

  3. HUA HIN - 20/06/2019 - resolved in 45 minutes
    transfer stamps on new passport -

    - English letter from the embassy of your country requesting transfer of stamps on new passport
    - photocopies of the pages of the old passport
    - photocopy of the new passport
    - photocopy of M6
    if you do not have copies, go directly to the "copies" service on the right of the building where a charming employee will photocopy your passports, add a completed form that she will attach to the embassy letter, check your file and do not forget to pay for the copies.
    Otherwise, go directly to the reception, upstairs, show your complete file and then we will give you the form and a ticket waiting.

    500 B further (without receipt) you get your 2 passports, the former had the cut corners and the pages not served by a "canceled", when the delivery of your new passport to the embassy or consulate.
    Always OK in Hua Hin, even for those who forget, sometimes, papers.

  4. That does not surprise me at all. POST 32,
    In the beginning, the farangs / traders do everything to attract the barge (or the customer) and,
    over the months, they are very careless about the welcome and the quality and besides,
    their product or dish, increases, in price, at a vertiginous speed.
    Finally, we find ourselves at the same price as in our country, with a mediocre quality and a welcome "grimace soup".

  5. Hello,
    Back from immigration. Long stay extension (OA)
    Twenty minutes from Market Village to immigration, while the previous office, it was about ten minutes.
    No songtaew.
    Personal transport or taxi / tuk-tuk.

    25 minutes between my arrival and my departure.
    Go straight upstairs, taking the ramp very easy to access.
    Advertise at the front desk (the same employee for years)
    he checks your file summarily and gives you a ticket.
    No directive for the 800 000 B to block for 3 months, nor verification of your account book, after these 3 months of "blocking".
    Everything is OK, it's gone for a year.
    Now, I'm waiting for my new passport, within 3 weeks.

  6. Thank you for your comeback.
    Indeed, it is a vicious way of ripping off customers.
    Do not be surprised if Farang restaurants have fewer and fewer people.
    Between the reception that is very mixed and this way of attracting the customer in a sneaky way, it is better to avoid them.

  7. Hey! Hey! Hey! Joe, do not get upset like that.
    I did not have to be more explicit, since I was answering the plaintiff's question.
    This was the validity of a passport sometime before the extension of an OA. That was his question, right?
    I do not intend, either, to apply for a visa at my embassy, I just want to ask them when I have to renew my passport, knowing that it ends in mid-2020 and that my next extension OA will also be around mid-May 2020.
    It suits you as an explanation or I have to add more.
    Sometimes I feel like I have kids in the preparatory class.
    Good afternoon, all the same.
