That is strange for Hua Hin to miss doing your 90 day report with your extension. They have always reset mine on the visit and can only assume it was an oversight.

Simpsons International Movers did my furniture and belongings UK to Thailand. They loaded from home then to a depot to make up a container, shipped and then container unloaded into a truck and delivered to the new house in Bang Saphan. Very good service and price. Mind you the cost of furniture is cheaper than UK so only bring what you really need, then purchase over here. 01322949557

If you ring this number then you may find what you are looking for :+66 869 955 071. This will put you in touch with an accountancy firm.

You start with a high figure knowing the final amount will be negotiated down. Standard practice in insurance claims like this.

That is the recovery bar!

Wish I could say the same as John Drake and Tropicalevo. When we lived in Bang Saphan Noi it took months for letters or parcels to arrive. In fact they “lost” a number of items for 4 months!! Suddenly found in the warehouse! Bearing in mind this was in 2024, having emailed postalcare, I received a reply with a photocopy of delays being attributed to Covid dated 2022!! Now here in Hua Hin, getting a repeat of the problem. Still waiting on gifts/cards sent in November for Christmas!! From what I have read, this is a common problem in the area at the moment.I wonder if this is Covid 2022 again!! 🤣🤣

Having spoken with an accountant, my remittances through inheritance do not need to be declared as they are not liable for taxation. No need for a TIN either.

I get 0.60% on my savings account with Bangkok Bank and 1.8% with my fixed account.

Can you enlighten us please.

Had a chat with an advisor for a Tax Accountancy firm yesterday. The upshot of the discussion was, if you do not remit money to Thailand then you do not need to register for TIN. He also reckoned not to bother in order to reclaim tax back on interest on a bank account. Let sleeping dogs lie and avoid opening a potential can of worms.

I understood that, and someone will correct me if wrong, no translation of P60, for example, was required. English was accepted.

Renewed my subscription in Nov, automatically, costing £9.67 a year for unlimited UK landline calls.

Back in Jan 24 having got my extension granted in Nov 23, I put down a deposit for a new house and by mistake used the wrong account. Had done it on the app and forgot to select the normal account instead of the immigration account. I landed up dipping into the 800k by 50k! I realised the mistake an hour or so later as I had not had an SMS on the normal account to say there had been a transaction. Promptly transferred the 50k straight over to correct the error. Roll forward to my extension visit this year in Nov at Hua Hin, nothing was mentioned. All okay but the IO had stapled a slip of paper into my passport regarding the ruling for 800k. Made me chuckle!

If you did win the big prize, you sign the back of the ticket then you go to your local police station to register the win before going to the lottery office in Bangkok to claim the win.
