Under DTA, you will pay tax in UK. It is very, very difficult to opt out of paying tax in UK, if not impossible! Then as a Thai tax resident, the tax paid in UK will be credited against any tax owing in Thailand. Proof of this would be a P60. Therefore you have only paid the tax once and no tax to pay in Thailand.

When I did mine a couple of months ago at Amphur Hua Hin, just needed passport and yellow book.

This Odd/Even parking seems to work well on marked streets in Hua Hin.

You do not go round to complain!! I would not expect anyone to do that. The burning problem just involves a phone call to a hotline if you have one there. Parties and shooting guns involves a call to the Police. It is then up to them but there would be interest if guns were involved. It is not the Thai way to complain which at times is crazy. Until it is too late!!

I am sorry but it is exactly that attitude that leaves us with the problem!! If this comment offends you then I apologise . It is not a case of snitching but getting them educated to the problem. If everyone does this then this just might alleviate the problem. There is no point complaining about this problem on the Forum as nothing will get done! But a phone call might do.

Why not report them? Here in Prachuap Khiri Khan province we have Hotline numbers to report these sort of offences.

All I am saying is that by obtaining the full 12 month statement, if the IO has a hissy fit then I am covered. Better safe than sorry!

What do they want then? Please do tell me in case I have been doing it wrong for the past 8 years.

I just look at it from the point of view that Immigration requires 12 months of statements, so that is exactly what they get. Then there is no argument. And I was aware that only BBL takes 5 days which was why I originally stated this.

Fair enough. No problem my way either. Same difference with same costs.

Not from Bangkok Bank. 12 month statement has to come from Head Office and takes 5 days. So you apply for the 12 anytime in the last month or so before extension then a 6 month on the day or day before which gets the full 12 months.

The 12 month statement only covers 12 months back from the date of application for it. As it takes 5 days to obtain, that leaves a shortfall in the 12 months of statements. Hence needing a 6 month statement which can be obtained immediately. The two together give you the required 12 months. I have been doing this procedure for a number of years. Used to it now.

No! As posted above, it has to come from the bank signed and official stamp. A 12 month statement from, Bangkok Bank for instance, takes 5 days to obtain and will not be covering the full 12 months. So, a 6 month is also required to be fully up to the date of the renewal. Other banks may vary this process.

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.
