Until recently when I switched on my Dell laptop with Windows 10, it would automatically sign on.

Now it asks if I wish to sign on using my Microsoft or Dell  username and with a password or pin.

Any ideas on how I can revert back to how things were.

Got my renewal done yesterday at Jomtien. No request to return in 90 days with proof of 800,000 baht plus balance being maintained

I have never used an agent, nor even considered using one. However, if I was 78 and sick right now, I would stay home and pay someone to do the renewal for me. 

 

I am seriously considering that. I will have all the necessary papers and bank letter so would I be able to get someone to go there for me without having to pay the high agent fee.

I am a sick 78 year old and am trying to observe the self isolate guidelines, Unfortunately next week I have to visit a crowded bank and a packed Jomtien immigration office twice to renew my retirement visa. Does this make sense.

Have heard via a friend that https://www.healthspan.co.uk/ have a wide range of low cost multi-vitamins etc and ship to Thailand

I do well with Centrum Silver... 

Where can you get that and what is the price

Can anyone recommend a multi vitamin tablet for the over 70s that you can purchase in Thailand

Does it actually work to log on to your account?

 

I tried 0066.... in the past and it accepted it, but then it changed all by itself to something incomprehensible.

 

The same with me. Changed automatically to 6666 so I sent them a message and they changed it to 0066 for me. I haven't tried logging in with it yet in case I have a problem with it and they block my account. I have used my card reader. This is why I have made this post to see if anyone had been successful logging in using a 0066 number.

It works on my Thai phone. You have to login to Nationwide and add your international Thai number there. Banks are tightening security due to hackers. Sending a pin number to confirm it really is you is one of their new ideas.

Others who have posted have said you must use a UK mobile number. Am I right in saying that you use a Thai number. Who is right.

If I cannot use a Thai mobile number why have they allowed me to set one up via my laptop on my Account Details. A number starting 0066

Has anyone successfully logged in on the internet to their Nationwide UK account having a security code sent to their Thailand mobile number. I am currently using a card reader but want to know if the alternative works.

Seems to vary by area.... and whether you have choice may depend on that too, also whether you are in a house or a condo building. Usually best to ask a few neighbours.

If willing to travel to Sr Racha you can save money doing essentially the same thing at Phyathai Sri Racha. Contact Gavin Waddell  telephone 089 - 7500293 or email [email protected]

 

 

I had a similar problem to you about 3 years ago and went to Phyathai. Turned out after the tests I needed 7 stents inserted as I had serious blocked arteries. The tests and following work was performed in a most professional way and I have had no re-occurrence since. Now have regular checkups there.

With the low usage I am expecting, I am considering getting    https://www.lazada.co.th/products/hp-deskjet-2621-all-in-one-printer-i218877159-s332552851.html?spm=a2o4m.cart.0.0.5fae6108vjy1oF

It depends on "how" you print them. Will it be likely like a few pages each week? Or maybe no printing for 3 months?

Because if you buy an ink-jet printer and print regularly then the nozzles should stay open and you can continue printing - i.e. once a week. But if you don't print for several months then likely those nozzles will get clogged and then you have to "clean" them and that is annoying and it uses a lot of ink.

A laser printer does not have these problems if it's not used for some time.

 

And keep in mind that the cost of the printer is often the small part. It gets expensive if you have to buy new ink or toner. Better check those prices in advance. You can also find comparison of the long term cost online.

I would be using it on a regular basis. Also I thought the laser  printer was black copy only.

I am about to purchase a new all in one printer in Pattaya. I guess I print 300 pages black and 50 colour a year. Any recommendations on which one to get and where.

Last year I managed to get back 5000 baht for the tax I had paid on interest at Bangkok Bank. It was a lengthy process both at the tax office and then at the nominated bank getting the cash.

They had told me at the tax office that now that I have a tax number from them, I should pass this on to Bangkok Bank and they would no longer apply tax to my interest earned.

This morning I went to Bangkok Bank and after 45 minutes, during which time I signed several forms and the girl checked three times with head office in Bangkok, my tax number was added on the computer to my bank details.

As I was about to get up from the desk the girl said to me "You know this no charging of tax only applies to your savings account. You still have to claim back from the Tax Office for tax paid on Fixed Term Accounts".

My tax on savings accounts is less than 300 baht. My taxed on fixed term accounts is over 6000 baht.

THIS IS THAILAND.

I have since found out that an equivalent minimum balance  of $250 must be maintained or a $10 monthly charge is made. I was never informed of this by the bank.

I have had a foreign currency deposit account with Bangkok Bank for several years now, and currently have less than 200 pounds sterling in it. I have just noticed that for the last 3 months I have been charged 7.00 pounds a month Maintenance Fee. Has anyone experienced this charge recently. I have never had it before.

I doubt of that and really hope it's not the case. The way the Committee must contact owners is by publishing information letters/reports in the village (and on Internet if possible), or by sending registered letters for important matters such as AGM.

Unsure why would the Committee would need my phone# or email??

That is OK if owner lives in the house. What if he has tenants who don't pass on mail to him delivered to the house.
