12 month bank statement
rumak replied to CallumWK's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
In 20 years never had to get a "statement" ( use cash in bank method , one year term account , retirement) . BUT... last year they almost made me . What EXACTLY does one ask the bank for ( i use Bangkok Bank) ? Is there a form i need to get , or just tell the bank i need a 12 month statement ? ( of course i need the letter for guarantee of funds as well 🙂 -
oops.... Gotcha Sue

What's One Thing You Wish You Knew Before Moving to Thailand?
rumak replied to Conan The Barbarian's topic in General Topics
If you are asking that question , and already live here ............... then probably not any advantage for your situation. Many guys on this forum have no interest in speaking Thai. Those that do speak fairly good Thai would (imo) say that it is much more rewarding to them ....... in personal relationships and just ordinary life challenges . note: the best times i had , with non bar girl types, was finding pretty ladies on internet sites that did not speak english . -

Ha Ha . Gotta admit, sometimes honesty can be refreshing ( and funny ) the following is not specific to BM2 situation : I won't say how many "live-ins" i've had , but more than a few . More and more I started to "just say no" when i did not like the situation . Meanwhile, others i know still stay with their (once) loved ones, obviously not happy. moral of story: not happy, get out . try again ( or not ) . sometimes we get lucky and find someone who , when you wake up, does not make you unhappy with the world. (i am aware of all the "Buts.........." ) But, up to you ! -

you left out "stubborn" and "entitled" . But i do blame myself for telling one or two people how nice it was here , because after that the foreigners just seemed to pour in . -
Yep, this is where the "problem" arose with Mr Documents Examiner . When someone (such as I ) has a fixed account , with the required copies of all pages, then it is obvious that there has been no activity just by looking at that ( and seeing that the same acct has Not had activity for years ) . I can see where there would be confusion if it did not cover the entire one year period that was relevant . BUT.... inside they said that form NOT NEEDED by me , with my fixed acct . AND the topper is, when i was finished i asked the person (guy) who had overseen my visit if i could have a copy of that other info/statement form to take with me in case i needed it next year. his answer " mai dtong ow . mai jampen " OMG ......... i smile and walk out , blood pressure up for sure . Cause, i know i will have to get past the D. Examiner again next time . So......... is there such a form ? Or does one just ask the bank for said documentation ? my bank is bangkok bank.... and i will talk to them when i get to the city as well . ps: i bring extra copies of everything as well ! lol

Hi Bob ........ are you still doing the retirement ( or marriage) extension by yourself ? Just curious, as i have always ( 20 years) done so . But....... getting tired of it . Big hassle last year when guy "checking my documents" tried to send me away , saying i needed more info from bank ( BESIDES my usual letter from bkk bank stating my amount on deposit in FIXED acct . that i have used FOREVER without an issue ) And.....not being able to convince him it is not required I had to go inside and get confirmation from an officer there . BUT, after getting called for my appt. still had an issue with one of the workers , until another stepped in and said i was right . never look forward to that yearly escapade !

Health Insurance Refused Because I Take Statins.
rumak replied to Jumbo1968's topic in Health and Medicine
Well, it seems like more than a few members agree with my long held assertion that paying more and more every year , with more and more exclusions, and then in many cases being denied (what chance does the policy holder have, when they already have your money.... and then put people through the ringer when time to pay out) . No matter how many times someone tries to refute my statement... it still remains true ! Even the NY Times.... a media favorite.... chimes in : https://www.nytimes.com › 2023 › 06 › 15 › health › health-insurance-medical-bills.html It's Not Just You: Many People Confront Health Insurance Obstacles on ... Jun 15, 2023Nearly 60 percent of Americans with health insurance had a problem with their coverage over the past year. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/15/health/health-insurance-medical-bills.html -
Found it at last....something that cures constipation for me!!!!!
rumak replied to xylophone's topic in Health and Medicine
yep, good to try though. ALSO, i am sincerely hoping that the success you're having does not diminish with time, as your body adapts to the "new" stimulant . Just a thought ..... ( i remember many moons ago when morning coffee was enough to get me to the bathroom) . Now, no luck with that . So..... might be a consideration to do every other day as you once mentioned . Seems like you are quite aware of such things/ changes . once again, stay loose 😅 -
I was sitting on the couch the other day , mumbling to myself . Kinda thinkin' of the good ole days . Remember saying something along the lines you just wrote . ahhh, reminiscing . Noi and Nit and Nut and Porn and Dang and............ Then i was abruptly woken up from my dream : "Grandpa, is Patpong similar to Pingpong ? " "yes, my dear . it was a long time ago "
