I have several Xaiomi’s throughout the house... have had them for three years now... All work great (Once you learn how to program them to stay in manual mode full time)... Now is the time to buy them as they have dropped in price significantly - Most likely a lot of vendors in Bangkok have huge stocks they want to unload... Lazada has them listed for 3,700 baht with free shipping!

Btw If you are letting them run in Auto Mode and your not getting the PM2.5 into a single digits or low teens your not really getting the air quality to an acceptably low level... I have mine all programmed to run on manual mode at about 60% fan speed anb the PM2.5 never goes above 15...

From Santander.....

"Earn more interest by keeping a higher balance in your account.Monthly interest of 1.50% AER/1.49% gross (variable) paid gross on your entire balance up to £20,000."

You need to Google the meaning of AER (Annual Equivalent Rate)

As a general rule it is probably a good idea to prove the provadece of any large sums of money you have in foreign banks...

I asked the IO if that would be sufficient for this year to apply for a renewal of my extension of stay.

Did she make any reference or demand that you prove the funds transferred in come from a pension?

Can anyone else confirm if Bangkok Bank charges a 500B receiving fee for Transferwise?  I thought I had seen somewhere that it appears as a domestic transfer to BKK Bank...

No receiving fee for Transferwise.com but OFX.com does incur the BK Bank fee .0025%..

let me state for PHUKET<
its 800,000 2 months before, 3 after and than never less than 400,000

i got it in writing...

Given the new order was printed we all have it in writing... But...  

If you have the ACH to Bangkok Bank in place it is still working and a viable way to transfer funds (They have said they will accept non IAT formatted transfer until the end of a June)... I am planning to use them in the next 30-45 days to transfer the 800k... Hoping the rate pops above 32 ;-)...

Does Chiang Mai Immigration accept fixed deposit accounts?

Also I read an old thread that Kasikorn bank could not print an update in a passbook (as is required by Immigration) unless there was some previous activity?

Mine is coming from the US... was originally told arrive on 7th.. today sorry email from them and revised to the 9th...

I was asking about the photos of house but my house is blue do you think that will help ?

That depends... Immigration requires a dark blue background... And most Thai houses are baby blue...

This may run you afoul of immigration... 

Chiang Mai requires a blue background...

the new law is : you Need have the 800x 2 months before make the visa and after 3 months you Need reshow  it again...what means you cant touch the 800x for 5 months

Also the law says you can not spend down below 400k in the non seasoning months

Instead if popping across the border with a bunch of visarun people I would suggest going just a bit south of there with an afternoon (or better overnight) in the golden triangle area... From there they have boat rides on the Mekong River... 

If you have a car make a point to go to this chedi for an incredible view... 

Phra Borommathat Putta Nimit Chedi
Highway 1129 , Wiang , 57150 Chiang Saen , Chiang Rai, Tambon Wiang, Amphoe Chiang Saen, Chang Wat Chiang Rai 57150

If you can stay overnight get a room along the river between the Golden triangle and the little town of Chiang Saen (go there for a riverside evening stroll)... Here is our favorite place (Get a pool/balcony room)... https://www.ginmaekhongview.com/

I would avoid a move during the 2-3 month pre seasoning period just as a precaution... Think of the pain and confusion of dual bank letters...
