Thanks. I have never dealt with those desks. The Retirement, 90 day report and Residence Certificate deeks from my experience run smoothly. It's also a nice air conditioned environment now with food and drink options just outside. I can understand though that some people can have a bad experience here and that leads to the "rogue office" tag from someone who don't even know the facts.

Thanks for noticing it

All you people that don't know the area commenting as if you are an expert. It's Jomtien not Pattaya for a start. The beach area is frequented by homeless drunk noisy Thai's at night and this is clearly the issue. It appears that one of them made a derogatory comment to the fat farang's fat woman and this started the issue. The farang is obviously a bully but he had a reason to react. As usual as soon as one Thai guy gets attacked the others join in. The farang probably wasn't even drunk.

@CMBobalready gave the correct answer. My issue was not related to the question it was related to the way "in my opinion", you always say that Jomtien is a rogue office when it is not. My first hand experience of Jomtien is that it's a well organised office now since the building was changed and considering the volume of people they deal with, they do an excellent job.

I won't even bother to argue with you. With your mods hat on and your aweful bedside manner, you always twist the argument to make it appear you are right.

That thread is over a year old and not relevant to how it is now. I am not sure what you have against Jomtien, it's always negative. Considering the volume of people they process they do very well. It's not a sleepy office like many in the provinces.

Plenty of youtubers over here Thailand making good money. The big money comes when you are promoting your business via the channel. It's a hard slog though, lots of daily content required.

Of course he can. He has a marriage visa and can legally work with a work permit.

Cialis is Taladafil and totally different to Sildenafil (Viagra). It's a non story. Both ED meds are widely available in Thailand. No one knows if he mixed them with Coke, no evidence of that.

The one in Central Festival Pattaya

What a pathetic post, have you no sympathy for this woman. Don't forget he was seriously ill in hospital for 2 weeks prior to his death. It must have been nightmare for her, poor woman.

So you are the self appointed expert on this are you? 2 of the biggest agents Tick Tock services can't remember the other, temporarily stopped. Are you saying they did dodgy stuff? You are just guessing

Don't be silly of course they don't. They use my existing bank account. deposit 800K, obtain a statement, then withdraw. I then carry on using the account.

Although there are many new gogo's and Indian clubs with fantastic LED frontage. Walking Street has lost its soul. I live here and went there just before Christmas, not now going again. I prefer the Soi Baukau and LK area and also now Jomtien.

Don't worry, no one missed you.

OK thanks for that. Maybe it's only the branch of Bangkok bank in Pattaya Klang that Cambodia Travel uses. I still suspect not. In the past 2 days I have noticed no queues outside the Jomtirn soi 5 branch usually it's rammed, so something is going on.

I know Manerrat is a reputable agent, is your experience recent? ie in the last week

What bad behaviour do you base your comment on?

The topic is not about problems opening a bank account it's about my agent not now using Bangkok Bank.

It's not an issue, but if agents are unable to use Bangkok Bank you will need to open an account at another bank ie Krungsri, I will then have 3 accounts. My agent Cambodia Travel which many on here use said its an issue for all agents, that will include Maneerat. It will be interesting to here from people who use them if this is the case.

They just wanted to wind you up and have a laugh. Maybe you would threaten to take your 2 million baht out and close the account.

The agent said its the same with all agents. Maybe why the Bangkok Bank outside Jomtien Soi 5 immigration which normally has hoards of people waiting to go in outside was very quiet today when I passed by.

I don't know if anyone is aware, I certainly wasn't. I visited my normal agent on Soi Baukau today to do my yearly extension. They informed me that since to problems a few weeks ago, they have had to stop dealing with Bangkok Bank. They now deal with Krungsri Bank. Therefore I have an appointment to meet them at the bank in Central next Tuesday to open a new account and then it's as before. No charge for opening a new account. So this is either a heads up for people or an opportunity to put me straight and tell me it's been like that for a while. .

As a matter of interest why did you miss the date. It's 15 days before and 7 days after, quite a big window.

Do a little bit of research. I have just had a fantastic experience at the private SamitiveJ hospital in ChonBuri only an hours drive. Fast professional booking of appointment, caring nurses, efficient doctor and great radiologists. Cost for an MRI, doctor consultation before and after MRI and 1 week medication. Cost 8,080 baht. You can't beat that.
