Anyone know if it still happens, the Big C (Sukhumvit Rd Pattaya) car and motorbike auction?

From what you say, both in her Australian passport and in her Thai passport her middle name was written as Madison when the passports were issued. Now, when she applied for her Thai ID card, the card was issued with her middle name written as Medison.

 

I recommend that she go to the district office that issued the ID card, show them the Thai passport and ask them to issue a new ID card with the middle name in English written exactly the same was as it is in the passport, ie as Madison.

My thoughts exactly.

Thank you ????

I assume it's misspelt in English and not in Thai, right? Being Thai, the name written in Thai on the ID card is the most important, not the named in English. As for the bank account, so far I've never seen a bank book of a Thai person showing the name in English. Besides, I had to look 3 times at the correct spelling and the misspelling to realise it was the letter a replaced with an e (and I guess that's why you\she didn't notice it as soon as she got the id card, so I think no one will notice it if not told.

As for future business, job applications and whatever - in Thailand most, if not all documents are in Thai, so I can't see any problems there. In order to deposit money to get account all one needs is her account number or her phone number or her id number for prompt pay.

Now this is another great reply, come to think of it my gf has 2 bank accounts that I deposit funds into at times ???? both are similar names but different

Why would you not have corrected it in the first place when then Thai ID card was first issued with the incorrect spelling? Would've seemed like the smartest and logical thing to do immediately so no future issues would come up, like they are coming up right now.

The mother got the ID card for her

Things always seem to go pear shaped when she's involved

What is the question here?

If the name is misspelt you should have it corrected. (First the ID card, then the bank account)

I'm looking for issues if it's not corrected.

It's a forum, am I not allowed to ask.

Report me if you feel the need

I just don't want to accidently stray into the hood and get car-jacked by a desperate gang of vest-less Chang'ed up OAP's.

Don't be concerned about crime, it's much worse in Australia.

Nirun is a similar setup to that of view talay 1 and 2.

Guys just want to drink local (lots of bars downstairs) get drunk, then stumble upstairs and sleep it off then start it all again the next day. You see the occasional argument and fights between these drunk expats, quite comical.

These elderly, unfit, fat, drunk, expats fighting like school boys in the playground.

It's not for me, sadly there are lots of lonely foreigners here, not me I have a large family and many close friends.

It’s in an area that the Aussies made their own.

20 years ago I had a mate who owned a few condos in Nirun, he was making quite a good earnings from mostly Brits who lived there.

I haven't been in there for a decade, there was an Aussie bar opposite Nirun around 10 years ago, great atmosphere, swimming pool, cheap food and drinks which probably attracted the Aussies to Nirun.

I wonder who owns Nirun

It's a condominium, individual owners, Thai and foreigners

The key document is the Thai ID card

Yes, agree.

The problem will be future acounts/business, jobs applied for etc that she uses her ID card for, or she does any business with, will always have incorrect spelling

Let's look at these things one at a time.

 

Question 1 (Q1): By comparison with what do you consider your daughter's middle name on her ID card to be misspelled?

 

Her middle name

Madison

was misspelt on Thai ID card

Medison.

Now bank account misspelt

Flybird might be better though I haven't looked 

Flybird is just as run down but not as many foreigners as Nirun

My daughter has both Thai and Australian passports.

Her mother recently took her to City Hall for an ID card, she got the ID then they went to the bank and opened a bank account with Kasikorn bank.

The problem is that both her Thai ID card and bank account have her middle name misspelt. 

So passports have a different middle name (misspelt) to her ID card and bank account.

Looking for thoughts on best way moving forward. 

Cheers

You'll probably find the bank has closed the account.

Most exciting thing you have done in Thailand

Thailand has been my home for more than 20 years. I've got a large family and a few close friends.

Every day I do something more exciting than the last, it's just the best place on the planet to live.
