It's possible that the particular transfer was through Wises Bangkok bank account, hence it's coded differently than the normal TRN code when transferred through Wises Kasikorn account. Requesting a credit advice receipt should show who it went through.
HQ statement for that transaction should be logged as an International transfer.

Kasikorn bank ,I have the credit advice for all deposits as well as Wise receipts indicating Kasikorn bank as receiver bank

I transfer from my Wise account each month to Kasikorn.  Irrespective of the reason given for the transfer it arrives in seconds from a Wise local Kasikorn account.  The bankbook will get "TRN" marked when it's updated.  However a statement, either downloaded myself of issued by a branch will show the transfers as either "Trade Finance Deposit" on an English statement or on a Thai statement "ธุรกรรมต่างประเทศ" = "Foreign Transactions".

That's interesting my Kasikorn passbook is coded GPS0000X. for my international deposits.

On asking counter staff at a branch about this code they advised that this is for international deposits.

I followed this up with their call centre who advised this is the payment channel (

Global Payment Services) they use. I asked for a hard copy similar to code index in passbook,but "cannot" was the reply

Thanks Norbra! I will contact Kbank to get the credit advice. For the date of that, it doesn't have to be the same day you are applying for the visa, correct? Silly question and I would assume no but....immi knows no bounds.

I have read where others have been able to get Credit advice receipts from K bank International/Trade  Finance branches for older transactions

I appreciate your contribution but really: ALL major currencies have lost.

Many currencies ha ve cut their interest rates whilst AU have not so in this scenario AUD not in same basket 

The AUD is currently suffering from China's over supply in steel,with steel makers cutting imports of iron ore drastically even dumping steel into Thailand.

Since China's cutback iron ore prices have dropped by $60 pt.

Apply again and tell them you need a TIN to file a return to request refund of withheld taxes on bank interest and stock dividends.

I am sure if my application spelled out "withholding tax"as purpose for request it would have been issued,my application was for personal income only

Apply again next week and you will probably get one.  TIT.   

Maybe you would be interested to learn that criteria also excludes students and holders of  "retirement visas"as they are prohibited from working in Thailand 

I bought a Vivo last year good specs,worked like a dream until I step into sunshine it turns into an unusable brick.

@DrJack54  Thanks for the quick reply.  "Re other passport page photocopies" - Other than the main page (photo, details), last year's renewal stamp and most recent entry, what other pages must be copied?

 

 

 

@Upnotover  Thanks for the reply.  Interesting  as I've not read about not having to photocopy each page of the bank book.  Thanks

Don't forget to copy non imm O visa stamp.

The web-form is in error not showing the required "star," and not blocking submission w/o that date.  Fill it in, and it should (hopefully) be accepted. 

 

As far as why they ask for redundant information and/or why these different systems are connected poorly - passport-change not updated everywhere, breaking when you make a new entry to the country, breaking if a hotel logs a TM-30 on you somewhere you visited for a day, etc - that is another can of worms.

They are not "asking", you are making a report,if it differs from your passport details it should be rejected

Perfect that she could give diagnosis on internet plus doing anamnesis. Congrats.🤣

I am a retired RN. I would not start with Amlodipine. There are many other safer medications out there. Perhaps do a search on Google for the safest blood pressure medications. Then use Drugs.com to look at dosing, interactions, side effects, etc. Only you know your other health issues, if any, and your personal lifestyle. These things will effect what your best choice of medication will be.

Before coming to Thailand I was on Exforge HCT,in Thailand 3000baht per month.

I switched to adlodipine and losarten equivalents,for 20 years now my BP has been mid 120's/70,now up 12% so I was looking at adding the diuretic I was taking in the Exforge HCT combo.

Follow this! And don't listen to all these wannabe Doctors here.👍

No diagnosis here, no anamnesis either.😶

I was asking for information about diuretics,I received an excellent reply from @Sheryl.

But why in CW they do still accept 90 day report by Mail? And then not send back the confirmation despite provided envelope with stamp?

 

So after more than one month of sending in my 90 day report and nothing hearing back:

 

I went there by myself (had to go for EoS anyway). As proof that I did my part I presented the receipt from the post office which was accepted. I approached counter number 4. They wrote down my phone number which was called back 10 minutes later with the information that I could pick up the confirmation of my 90 day report right away. No need to wait in any queue or something like that. No need to show any documents. It seems they knew what they need to give me from the QR code on the post office receipt... The confirmation slip was dated back to July 25. So the confirmation slip was sitting on some desk for almost a month. They were to lazy to put it in the provided envelope to hand it to the postal service.

What was really annoying that they did not want to give an explanation why they do not send back the confirmation for the 90 day report. I really don't want to go there the next time I come back from overseas just to do the 90 day report.

How much did you pay for stamps on your return envelope?

Some time ago IB added extra stamps  to my return envelope,I had applied the recommended 10 baht stamps IB topped up to 12 baht.

Just curious.

Have you had a full cardiac assessment? (Inc. stress test)? As presence/an]bsence of carduac disease is a factor in selecting best approach to managing hypertension.

 

Assuming no cardiac issue, the most common first line drugs for someone with no special other conditions and assuming not of African descent would be an ACE inhibitor or an Angiotensisin II Receptor Blocker.

 

Least expensive forms of these in Thailand are Enalapril and Losartan respectively. ARBs (Losaratan) as less likely to cause dry cought than ACE inhibitor (though sometimes do).

 

People of of African descent respond better to calcium channel blockers.

 

With any drug, you want the lowest dose that achieves good control so need to monitor at home.

 

Be sure to read up on contraindications, side effects and interactions.

 

 

Could a Thaizide diuretic be used in combination with ace/arbs doses.

Could this also reduce BP further?

It would seem that Centrelink get notified whenever you leave or enter the country, so even though you are supposed to notify them, it doesn't matter. I have friends receiving the pension that have never notified their movements, but their pensions are adjusted automatically when they come and go from Australia.

My last 2 visits to AUS,I did not inform CLink about my presence,they did not reinstate pension extras.
