Iฺ know Bangkok bank is quite anal about being at the home branch to do certain things, like getting a new passbook (only after the original/previous ones has been lost) understandable in the day where they had to go look in physical copies of your signature to match on file in the home branch, but presumably all signup papers should be scanned and available at all branches these day and age. Some fixed deposit account also can't be withdrawn out of area for some reason It used to be that having a 'home branch' that knows you has benefits like being able to make transaction without ID, but all that's gone with regulation requiring ID for all now, some might give you leeway in some things like forgetting your passbook and such

How did they confirm that it indeed was you, as in somebody with a new passport with matching name and forged signature could go up to the bank and assume control of the account if they just say the lost the previous passport

couldn't you have asked to get your photo taken for the biometric with your old passport, to be able to transfer more than 50,000, then only informing them of the passport change after they have completed the photo, that could save you the return trip

I think they were supposed to build a new terminal where the walkway from SRT redline is now and there's supposed to be a people mover within terminal to take you from there to the old terminal 1 and 2, but that seems like a long way away, the whole area of the airport souths of there from the old domestic terminal to the cargo terminal is ripe for development formerly when it was only old trains, the old station at Amari hotel had moving walkway that connect to terminal and the hotel

I live in older building on Asok main road, while the side streets are quieter, the price range of around 70-80,000 baht/sq meters is bang on. in the 'Superblock' between Asok and Thong lor, while there are shortcuts to anywhere it's just essentially a big one-way system if you need to go anywhere by car it can be a nightmare during rush hour, you're stuck. My condo on the main road isn't better, during rush hour it can be 30-40 minutes to go around and make a u-turn from in front of the condo on Asok to go the other way. But at least on the main road the pavement is walkable to the BTS or MRT the quiet sois aren't really walkable While the facilities of condos around 20-25 years old doesn't compare to today, the build is generally better but issue like plumbing and leaks are starting to crop up, some might have already replaced the water pipes already, so it's good to ask if that's been done for the whole building. Some with majority expat renters might have better parking situation, but as they get bought op by new residents, it could change.

Technically you can have a condo title house for projects that has significant shared property like detached house (usually home office building) that may be connected to a central pool or above an underground car park, Maybe they can stretch the definition to houses on golf course where the clubhouse and course is considered 'common area'

Oh I understand in case where you paid for the electric company to extend their 'service area' to your property and someone further down the soi connects It's not a problem, yes you don't own it but if you paid for the soi to be wired, you'd be annoyed if the guy that came later can connect with no hassle if you're fine with the concept then there's no problem,

they can't connect to your cable run, as that's stealing power from behind your meter, they would have to run their own cable and place the meter at the main road too or if they decide to pay the electric company to extend the service area to the back of the soi, normally if you're being a nice neighbour, you're supposed to chip in and share the cost, or you can be anal about it and after they've paid to have the electric company run poles and wires down the soi, just ask the electric company to move the meter to one of the poles that's now outside your property and they can't do anything again with sharing of the cost, should the guy at the front of the soi pay as much as the guy in the back to run the poles and cable? and in case where putting the meter on the main road is an option, why bother at all?

the black 'walkie talkies' are for amateur radio (HAM) operators, you must have HAM licence to own or operate one, to get one, you'll have to get training from NBTC and get tested, skills include up to sending and receiving morse code and various theory tests, if you can't navigate NBTC's website, you're probably lacking skills to make it through the process and even if you have HAM licence, you can't just buy a couple of them for your staff to use in a business This is not a formality like the license to own the red ones where the shop can do it for you, this is like license to own a gun serious

other options instead of paying the electricity company to 'extend' their service area out of your pocket where anyone else that come after you in the soi could also enjoy at your expense, is that you could opt to have your electricity meter located at the main road, and the cable run from your meter to your premise is yours to maintain

the problem is that once you paid to 'extend' the power's company reach, it's not exclusively yours, should you have a neighbour further down the road in your street, they could connect up to the poles you paid to 'extend' from the main road

if you went to the casino, you actually made the border crossing yourself, so hardly a 'ghost run' is it? A ghost run is probably where you don't need to inconvenience yourself with going to the border, staying in Pattaya or Bangkok and have your passport sent to get the stamps It used to be that only big border crossing and airports have the camera that records your face when you're being stamped in/out, it'd be pretty obvious going through the records and see if you had stamp without matching photo of the entry/exit

I just had visit with relative to the only government oncology department in the whole province, after we had operations at the local amphur hospital (breast cancer) we were referred to the central hospital of the province, got an appointment within 2 weeks, on the day of the appointment, we sat waiting for about 5 hours for the doctor, which looks like there are only 2 for the whole province sharing the load, upon being called from the crowded waiting rooms patients was lined up in a queue to go see the doctor, musical chair styled, the examination rooms door were left open so all in the queue are able to hear each decision and interaction with the doctor, privacy was none, but it gets those in the queue in the right mindset and knows what to expect from the doctor. Plus before getting in the queue, in the waiting area we see those that's already on chemo coming for their weekly dose had a nice discussion among the patient themselves as a sort of quasi-support group. Most were prescribed chemo after being sent for other tests from CT to MRI which, to the system's credit, we never had to paid but often need to travel to private facilities to get it done. In all, we had about 5-10 minutes with the doctor each time and it was understandable due to the mass of people in the waiting area outside, in the end we decided chemo wasn't for our relative as she's not strong enough to eat properly already and the doctor was understanding and prescribe us letrozole and appointment for monthly checkup. Going private would just mean less waiting time and maybe the doctor going through the patient needs and maybe spend 20 minutes more discussing things with us Throughout the whole ordeal through the system, we never paid a single baht except for the private room during the surgery, they never hesitate to order tests or refrain from giving treatments or medication,

while you can print from mobile, in the app it's really not formatted for printing, whereas in the online site there's option for printer friendly statement or even pdf export, I'm sure if they bothered they could implement that in the app... but all I see is request an official statement sent to you for a fee

best way to evade the radar is wear it on your person, but to be safe, don't have the empty box, receipts etc accompanying you on the same flight, sending the empty boxes via courier also don't attract that much duty

SCB has announced they're cancelling their internet banking service, moving their customers to app only in July So far it's only 2 Banks, KTB and SCB that is closing internet banking making app and biometrics mandatory, I'm sure more will follow suit They probably have the numbers on how many actually use the browser-based internet banking. I only use it occasionally now but it's useful for printing out statements

if you want the nurses to feed and bathe the patient, go for private hospital the public hospital nurses and doctor are already overworked and underpaid Thai family are expected to help, If you don't want relatives to sleep on the floors or are in corridor you can pay to upgrade to special rooms at most government hospitals for the price of nearly free, I don't see what there is to complain about, sure the wait is slow and nurses can be short tempered but seeing the conditions and workload they're working in it's understandable For the odd case of elderly living alone with no family support, that might be a bit of a problem

if you still have access to the old house, and she has the documents to be the housemaster to that place already and can do TM30 herself, and you continue to use your current immigration office for your reporting/extension there is no need to let immigration know that you have moved, unless you'll be using immigration office closer to the new place

https://eservice.dlt.go.th/esvapp/login.jsf you can buy the mandatory insurance as part of renewing the tax, which you can skip if you had bought the insurance from somewhere else

You can buy the insurance 'online' from DLT's website, it get sent in email, or you can pay more to have it delivered. If you had freebies thrown in with your 1st class insurance, you can enter the info in instead too either way the system requires a policy number before letting you proceed to pay your raod tax. buying with DLT means the dates of insurance is synched with your annual road tax plus the info is linked automatically

did it online and there is now a column for unpaid ticketS in addition to the usual tax before you pay

totally not the job of condo managers or letting agents, even if the co-owners of the condo that rents out room deputize the duty to the condo manager, the condo staff still can't be held liable for not doing the TM30

because they're rich (renting an entire villa) and this can't possibly be happening to them Thai people also naively tend to thinks certain nationalities are beyond reproach, like Japan is a paradise and crime-free, I mean.. they're in paradise... how could this happens.... not beyond the reporting from tabloid from the west that reports accidents that happens to white tourist, to locals it's idiots rents motorcycles, plenty more in the ER to the tabloid headlines of "troubles in paradise" sells

if the system has a leak and the compressor ran dried, you're probably gonna need a new compressor

Realistically, how much would this slow down the mule account used in phone scamming? if the daily limit is still 200,000 for transactions, they can only move the money out 4 times a day, that might give time for the account to be reported and frozen. But I don't see them being able to implement face scanning for internet (browser-based) banking soon, granted, some banks have discontinued the service already. The phone scammers are already kidnapping people to man the call centres in border towns, now they'll just keep kidnap the mule account owner too
