You got that bit wrong for a start! What else don't you know?

They are running out of 'fatigue life'. All aircraft do eventually. That's why they have to be replaced.

Why should they have? 'The aircraft was not in Thai airspace and it was not a threat to Thailand'. https://www.france24.com/en/20140319-thai-radar-unknown-aircraft-mh370-malaysia

I've been using the income method (marriage) for 9 years now and I've never any serious issues, certainly nothing that has caused me any angst. We were only required to have a house visit on the 1st year and we back then we needed a witness, but from then on it's been more or less routine. The 1st year following the loss of the embassy letters was a bit nerve racking, but I'm used to the routine now. In fact this year I was complemented on my 'well presented' paperwork package. Rare to get praise from an IO! (although she did say it in Thai, to my wife!) As @DrJack54 said earlier, 'most issues for folk complaining about extensions based on marriage is down to things such as errors in docs supplied etc'.

Another thought occurred to me. If you continue to get stuck on this you might consider going to Savannakhet and get a single entry Non Imm O based on marriage. AFAIK there is still no financial requirement for this. But check first, just in case!

We married first, then we returned to Egypt where we were living at the time. I then got myself a Non Imm O visa from the Thai embassy in Cairo and on our next visit, we tramped around Robinsons until we found a bank that said yes. That was Krungsri and I've been with them ever since. As others have indicated, you just have to keep trying. Having your wife in tow (or even in the lead) can often help.

Off topic but here's our air quality this morning. I'm off for my walk right now.

I discovered, fairly recently that we actually live in the coldest region in Thailand. Sakon Nakhon's lowest recorded temperature was -1.4oC in 1974! The long sleeved jerseys an woolly hats are out already and I'll be digging out our thickest duvet before too long. It's great for walking though. I love this time of the year.

Same answer as above. I've just been there.

Click on 'Forum home' at the to left of this page. Scroll down until you come to 'Thailand Life - Community Forums'. Scroll down within that box until you come to 'Thailand Motor Forum'. Then click the appropriate subject. Easy, peasy.

It's not me intention to start yet another debate on the topic of income tax. I'm just curious to know, as I'm sure others are what the general sentiment is amongst forum members.

That is NOT the FULL conversation. It is only my reply to Newnative. and is being used out of context. Try again.

Please go back and read the conversation fully. There is NO contradiction at all.

@Lacessit's comment was correct. The branches (the visible side of banking) will be open, but the HQ and admin centres do not work weekends. E.g. a Wise transaction which has been tagged 'long stay' will not be processed on a W/E. P.S. There is absolutely no need for sarcasm!

My wife was asked to provide a copy of her divorce certificate in Aug last year, following 8 renewals of my extensions. She had kept it (fortunately) and I e-mailed a copy to the office the same day and that was the end of the matter. I do know that she had her surname switched back to her family name prior to our marriage 10 years ago. Her lawyer/cousin assured her that it was necessary. The matter was not mentioned again this year when I did my renewal.
