  1. Airlines take no responsibility for the ads that pop up on their websites. They do not chose these ads themselves but subscribe to one or more ad servers.
  2. Removed two off-topic posts and the replies thereto.
  3. Union Bank of Switzerland (UBS) has no branch in Thailand, but an office and offers no bank accounts in Thailand. This makes discussion of the UBS off topic here.
  4. Do they have the home country address on them?
  5. There is some ambiguity about the meaning of 12:40 AM. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12-hour_clock?wprov=sfla1 What airline issued you a ticket using the AM/PM system instead of the 24-hour system?
  6. Fake, in the sense that it is not the official TDAC website, which is https://tdac.immigration.go.th/arrival-card/#/home
  7. With the agent as the beneficiary of the life insurance?
  8. There is no such law. Years ago, when I first tried to open a savings account with Siam Commercial Bank (SCB), they asked for a work permit, which I did not have, claiming it was the rule. I insisted on seeing this rule and a lawyer who happened to be next in the queue behind me supported me. The bank employee had to call head office for it, got it by fax, and when I read it, it was clear that their rule applied only to current accounts, aka checking accounts for which cheque books are given, not to savings accounts. The bank lady still refused to open the account for me. I walked down the road to another branch of the same bank and got my account without a problem. It is possible and probable that the bank rules have changed since then to apply the work permit rule to all types of accounts.
  9. Mine is the antique licence on pink paper issued eons ago. Armed with everything including my yellow house registration book and pink ID card, I tried to get it changed to the knew type a few years ago but they told me the old one was still valid for driving, which I already knew, and if I really wanted the new card I would have to bring the certificate of residence issued by immigration. That was in Bangkok, and I'm holding on to the old licence.
  10. One word of advice to all who apply for the yellow house registration book: give the district office all necessary names (your forenames and surname and your parents' forenames) in Thai script in the version already on file with that government entity, if that is the case. I had given the translator of my passport my name as shown on my driving licence and fortunately the district office checked it against the version on record as part of the marriage registration: the two versions were different and the official corrected it on my yellow book application.
  11. Removed a post of mine which I made based on a misunderstanding, and the replies to it. (Time to see the eye doctor for a new prescription for lenses 🙂)
  12. Thank you for giving the above details. In this scenario, when the immigration official (IO) says "wrong date" without specifying which date he deems to be wrong, the question arises what date he is referring to. I hate to make assumptions but in this case it seems reasonable to assume that the IO implies that the traveller put the wrong flight arrival date on the TDAC form. Is this what happened in your case and did you have to change the arrival date to 18 July?
  13. @mikebell Below is an example with a blank "Visa No." field where I could not proceed to the next page, but it was not because the "Visa No." field was left blank.
