Grumpy Old Man

At Chiangmai Immigration the "Bank Letter" supporting an "Extension to Stay" application can be up to but not exceeding seven days old but you are still required to do a "Bank Book" update on the day of the application. I usually do a "Bank Book" update anytime after midnight the day before, therefore it's dated on the date of the application and submit my "Extension to stay" application as early as possible.

I apologise if I'm breaking any rules of the forum for posting this, if I don't ask I'll never know. I tried to start a GoFundMe but that's not possible from within Thailand, I have a very trusted friend in Scotland who has started a "GoFunMe" on my behalf from the UK that can be viewed online https://gofund.me/fc17d51f For full financial transparency any donation received will be handled by a trusted SCB Manager and fully receipted; please read the information below and if you feel you would like to help with a financial donation please contact myself directly for more information. My target is one million Baht approximately 21,500 pounds Stirling but anything will help. After the military coup in Myanmar during February 2021 and the reports of torture and sexual abuse by state forces many at risk people fled Myanmar, this included ten young ladies ranging from the ages of fourteen to twenty one, the young ladies found themselves in Chiangmai Thailand in the care of distant relatives and the Christian church now I need your help with their continued education; I’m trying to raise money to give these young ladies a full sponsorship at the “SmartSeed Learning Centre” Chiangmai Thailand for the next year. I have donated my time and English language skills six hours a week for the last three months but that’s not enough to help them have a future through education. A full sponsorship would include all education materials, uniforms, meals and pay for a part time native English speaking teacher. We can’t educate every refugee but these ten are a good start.
