So his registration was out of date?

His registration was fine and he was sent on his way 200 baht poorer - Mai Ben Rai...

I saw an old farrang at JJ Market haggling with the bathroom attendant over the 3 baht fee - he wanted a discount as he only had to piss...

I am just curious.... If you have the money to stay in a luxury hotel, why are "free" drinks so important?

His company pays for hotel but not drinks...

Thanks for the information.

Being a bit of a cynic, when I saw the thread title, my thought was 'a few years before I arrived'.

Yeah me too... Was expecting another thread about 30 baht Leo's - This was a refreshing change - Thanks!...

I usually point to the plate and say "Aw ah-nee Klap Baan - di mi?..."

And for the nit pickers I have never been given the plate to go home also...

Try Baht & Sold... Or look for a Bangkok Facebook realestate site... If you are going to try to sell on the internet get GOOD photos of the place and show a CLEAR map of where it is...

You married the wrong woman... stop whining about your situation (which solves nothing)...

Sit her down and say you will give her 100,000 baht the day the divorce decree is signed and choke the 100K up to experience...

If you are still sleeping with her... As Judge Judy says... "Get out of my courtroom!..."

The 300,000 baht bail was promptly paid in 10 bath coins...

If you have a guesthouse I would highly recommend you have reliable internet for you guests... This is the number one reason people give a hotel/guesthouse a bad review...

Technically 100 meters is doable with a high quality cable... But in real world I would worry about reliability. Do you have 3BB in your area I think they offer a wireless option?...

Also you will need a certificate of your residence that can be obtained at immigration.

I have noticed the single biggest drain on my iPhone is when there is no internet connection... I ride my motorcycle out in the countryside and when I get back at the end of the day I'm usually below 50%....

If I'm at home in my wifi zone the end of the day shows 90%+...

All I would say to the original OP question is not to transfer any money to the present owner until you are at the land office and see a finalized transfer deed on your name...

Go to another Bangkok Bank branch (preferably in a area frequented by foreigners) and ask to open an account... Try 2 or 3 if needed one will eventually open for you... I assume you have a retirement visa - point that out to them...

There are a number of iPhone apps that can help you quit smoking which is the best cure for lung cancer so far...

Chiang Mai City News were present at a meeting with CM Immigration officials yesterday

The question of mailing 90 day reports was covered along with a host of other matters.

And the news that a new Immigration Office is to be built next year.

Yay! a new Immigration office - I assume there plan is to built it near one of the sky train stops...

I mailed mine last Friday afternoon (15th - 2pm) from the Phra Singh Post Office...

EMS showed delivery to Immigration on Monday the 18th at 10am...

Postal guy hand delivered the return EMS with my stamped 90 day reporting on Wednesday the 20th to my house...

I would recommend paying the extra 30 baht for return EMS tracking...

Then all of this can be seen thru the EMS tracking website too...

PS my house is in Suan Dok a stones throw from immigration - so being in the city is no problem

PSS I used the english text on the envelope as described in the pinned post (as well as english text for my return address)...

The post office are a very professional bunch and had no problem understanding english

How many days did you mail it in before you were scheduled to report? I read it needs to be sent in 15 days prior to the report date at http://www.immigration.go.th/nov2004/en/base.php?page=90days but the date is November 2004.

I mailed it 15 days before the reporting date...

One dumb question... Doesn't Immigration require that the funds held in a Thai bank account (400K or 800K) be from a foreign source?...

So if you start transferring from one Thai bank to another how do you prove to immigration that the funds in the bank are from a foreign source?

If you have an iPhone there is an app to solve your problem...

If not you can find the old version at any This/Chinese Wat...

I tried the BUPA website and their rep told me they only offers accident insurance to Thai Nationals

To cut down on traffic they should promote these...
