That will work, but I think the better way would be BTS Ari to BTS National Stadium, changing trains at BTS Siam. At BTS National Stadium when you exit the train you can use the skywalk which is linked directly to the MBK Centre so you will not have to descend to street level. This would mean this whole section of the journey from BTS Ari onwards would be by Skytrain. You would join the BTS at Ari station N5, and catch the train heading towards Kheha. Disembark at Siam station CEN. You will disembark on Floor 3, platform 1. You need to go up the escalator to Floor 4, platform 4 and catch the train heading towards National Stadium station W1. As I mentioned, when you exit BTS National Stadium just follow the skywalk signs to MBK. The skywalk joins MBK in two places. If you can't walk up the steps at the first entrance then keep on walking on the skywalk and use the second entrance. On your return journey, exit MBK and join the BTS at National Stadium station W1, catch the train heading towards Bang Wa. Disembark at Siam station CEN. You will disembark on Floor 3, Platform 3. You need to go up the escalator to Floor 4, platform 2 and catch the train heading towards Ku Khot. Get off the train at Ari station N5. You can buy 1 single ticket from Ari to National Stadium for 37 baht, and the same price for the return journey. Believe me, it's not worth walking from Siam to National Stadium to save literally 4 baht each way. The change at BTS Siam sounds complicated, but it's not. Each floor only has 2 platforms, and the platforms are either side of the same island. The most important thing is to know what floor you need next and the direction your train will be heading in, as all the signs will say "towards Bang Wa" or "towards Ku Khot", etc. I hope that helps.

This scenario can happen when Thai citizens own multiple houses. Thai citizens can only be registered in one house book at any one time. Normally immigration also ask to see a copy of the title deed for the property, which will have the owners name in it. The same situation occurs when people live in a building owned by a limited company, as a limited company cannot be entered into a house book. Immigration is well aware of the general issue and it won't be a surprise to them at all.

The rule is that each beneficiary can receive up to 100 million baht from each testator before inheritance tax would be levied at a rate of 10 per cent (5 per cent for parents or children). So unless your net worth exceeds 200 million baht multiplied by the amount of beneficiaries at the time of your deaths then you won't have to worry.

It can be replaced, but not so easily or quickly. First you need to get a police report. Take the police report to the Land Office with your passport (or Thai ID card for a Thai citizen) and a copy or photo of the title deed if you have one. Follow the Land Office's instructions. Do let us know how you get on as this topic will be helpful for other members in the future.

Just to point out that the managing director of Integrity Legal mentioned above is a licensed American attorney. That being said legal work in Thailand and in the US is not cheap and someone will need to pay for it, probably in advance.

Whereabouts would you like to get your extension? It's no good someone recommending an agent in Bangkok if you want an extension in Pattaya.

Whereabouts are you in Thailand?

OP: Don't forget to change trains at Bts Siam.

The ceiling for declaring foreign currecy coming into Thailand used to be USD20k, however the Bank of Thailand quietly reduced the ceiling to USD15k a few years ago. Section 2, Paragraph 8.2 Click Here

Super Rich have cash counting machines that are visible by the customer. The teller will put your Thai Baht into the machine. The machine will count your cash and there will be a visible electronic counter for you to observe the machine's progress. You can then watch the teller's hands as they pass you the cash or put the cash in an envelope and pass it to you.

It would be better if you could state the hospital you will be attending for surgery. Bangkok is vast, so there is little point recommending an excellent condo the other side of the city to the hospital.

@ripstanley Please PM me the name of the person you are trying to ignore.

Fortunately all of those people, you included, have the ultimate solution. You can use this forum. Thank you for contributing and continuing to make aseannow.com the number 1 place to discuss Thailand immigration issues.

I would encourage you to take the matter up with immigration directly and explain to them how they can better correct themselves, either in terms of translation or else reworking the entire visa and extension system so that it accords with your understanding.

The explanation is that your visa cannot be reused to enter Thailand (unless it is a multiple entry visa), however you are permitted to stay in Thailand for the time indicated on the ink stamp placed in your passport by the Thai immigration officer at your port of entry. A TM86/TM87 is used to when you apply to extend the initial length of stay you have been granted by the immigration officer.

The fine is 500 baht. If you want to you can take your ticket, make your own way to the police station (your car will remain clamped), wait in line at the police station, pay your 500 baht fine, make your own way back to the car, call the police officer to release your car, wait until the police officer is available and in your area and then go. That will be a minimum of half a day of your time and probably two taxi fares/win fares. Or you can pay an extra 200 baht to have the clamp removed then and there. The 200 baht is the payment for someone else to take the ticket to the police station and take care of your business.

The Land Office are not remotely interested in house books. You do not need to present them to sell property. There is no requirement from the land office to do anything at all with the house books. Normally the seller will not remove themselves from the house books before a sale, just in case the sale does not happen. There is nothing stopping the seller doing this in advance though if they so choose. This is a matter for the seller. They need to be proactive and find a house book to move into. Otherwise if they try and stay on the tabien baan of the house they have sold, they will eventually find themselves removed without their consent, and you can almost guarantee this will happen at an inconvenient time.

Why would that matter? The seller will in all likelihood be present on the day and can arrange everything for the other people in the house books. It's really not difficult and thousands of Thai people do this on a daily basis. Just check with the District Office what documents they need for the seller to act for the other people listed in the house books.
