Hat Yai , the deep south 

i emailed them and told them I will be attending my local branch to submit the forms , is it a scam , who knows, BUT , i won,t be supplying anybody through email with my Aussie tax file number OR my address in Australia. The financial system in Australia is full of warnings about scammers , usually  by someone  asking for personal details .

AND whilst I,m on it , how come an expat can pay 7000 baht for a taxfile number from accountancy  firms in Thailand , whilst there free to get through a local office . ???

Hat Yai - Songkhla Province !!

Songkhla province 

Songkhla  beach , everything you need , and not expensive

NON -O retirement visa - self insured ???

i see the golf fairways adjacent to the new railway station at Hua Hin , either they are planning on installing very large nets , or alot of stray balls heading in that direction . I may be wrong if they have plans to close some of the golf course 

Absolutely no research before traveling to Thailand about Covid management if testing positive 

Hat Yai 

ive been here 5 yrs 

only once smoke from Indonesia , and that was only a few weeks 

my recent extension I was also asked to draw a mud map where I live  ,this was a first , so alot of  squiggly  lines on an A4 sheet  with running commentary by me . Accepted  by IO. 

Pacific Cross , been with them 5 years , good selection of plans .

simple question , i have asked other expats , unsure 

What year was  the  90 day report commenced 

yes i completed my 0/A extension  3 weeks ago, this year immigration required a different bank statement for my 800000 baht, had to be from head office  in Bangkok , and on return one week later with my new statement,   was asked for the first time  to draw a map where I lived .Re the past article about the health insurance, initially the receiving officer in my immigration office , after checking my documentation , told me i didin,t require those papers, later changing his mind   when my interviewing  officer asked,  and was subsequently  given the papers. Goal posts seem to be changing all the time. 

just a question for the seasoned golfers. my plan is to update my Mizuno iorns , presently JPX 850, but am concerned about fakes here in Thailand. Am unable to purchase in my home country due to delays per covid 19 , and here in my home province the proshop does not sell , or have access to Mizuno . Does anyone know of a reputable retailer in Bangkok . thanks 

i think all retirees, O visa , marriage visa , etc etc , should have adequate medical insurance cover , too long the O-A visa has been propping up retirees who think everyone owes them a living . They expect the thai government system for free.

I signed up and payed  for moderna , myself and G/F  through Bangkok  Hospital Hatyai , informed vaccine delayed until 1st quarter 2022, so I thought i better try  the government  system. Successful with Astra Zeneca through local hospital. But no refund on the Moderna .

still have high increasing numbers in deep south , according to daily government figures , 5 provinces on deep red zone , infection numbers have not decreased 

never had a problem , transfer from Australia to Thai bank , next day confirmed. I think  " Wise " a very efficient service 

poorly worded survey, astra Zeneca ????

i,m 66yo , in a dark red zone registered on expatvac approx 6 weeks ago, still no response for appointment 

I received a message this morning from Bangkok hospital Hat Yai, presently registered and paid for moderna vaccine , originally planned for last quarter 2021, now planned for 1st quarter 2022.

Well, today is the 11th and Minister Anutin said the approved persons on expatvac should be getting a notice by now.
