When I bought a new phone and installed the app, it told me which phone (brand and model) it was installed already, and i had to deactivate that registration before I could proceed

Yes you can move it when you change telephone and that is easy if you keep the old phone number.

If you change number then you'll have to go to your bank office and have your number changed.

First installation can not be done over wifi, must be done over your sim cards internet.

Can KPlus Android app of Kasikorn be used on multiple devices simultaneously? Or rather, be insalled, activated and logged in. Has anyone tried?

You can't do that, the app is tied to your phone number at install time. You can apply for browser web access to KBank and that is the only way to access KBank from two devices.

I've used it, but can't remember exactly how much; I think it was around 200 baht.

It was 200 baht last time I used it but that was 5-6 years ago..

Samui Immigration do not accept the part of the announcement for expats in Section 2.2 of section 38 of the Immigration Act, which means that if you leave Surat Thani province, you need to make a new TM30 registration.

and that is exactly the reason why I avoid being registered for a two-night stay in Bangkok or Hua Hin.

The pink Id card has my birth date and my full address but no passport number

It is a valid Thai Id document and so far it has always been accepted as such by the hotels I've stayed at.

Edit, PS: It's much easier just to follow the regulations...

I would probably be a bit more interested in doing that if Immigration followed their regulations..

I'm also a house owner and has lived at the same address for more than 20 years, I don't necessarily agree that I should have to report my address (TM30) once per year while at the same time doing it another four times per year (TM47) and that just because they have misplaced their old TM30 database.

At least I didn't have to make a hand drawn map this year and they didn't notice that my stamp in the bank book was two days old...

They do check the TM30 database. Samui Immigration do not accept the part of the announcement for expats in Section 2.2 of section 38 of the Immigration Act, which means that if you leave Surat Thani province, you need to make a new TM30 registration. I had that problem, when renewing my extension of stay in October.

Don't use your passport when checking in at hotels in Thailand, use your pink Id card (which I assume you have since you have a yellow house book).

That would have been on the old 'Samui Hotel system'.

The new system is Thailand wide and everyone had to start from scratch when it started. Old system records lost.

So when was the new system introduced?

I have done yearly retirement extensions and 90 day reporting for the last 5 years obviously without having a valid TM30...

My last TM30 report was not 6 years ago but 5 years and a few weeks ago and was done in a dimly room on the bottom floor of Immigration in Maenam, a room with just one immigration officer and a computer.

That they have lost their old records is no surprise to me, neither is it a surprise that I have to give them a TM30 receipt every year from now on even when I am in their "new" system.

In a more developed country the TM30 and TM47 databases would be a single one and all info about an applicant would come up on the computer when entering a passport number. Here instead the number of required documents increase from year to year..

Just been to immigration this morning to renew my retirement extension, they've added another requirement to the list...photo of you stood in front of your house with the house number showing ????

Did my retirement extension yesterday and had to go back home and take a photo of myself in front of the postbox which has my house number on it.

The photo covered only wall and postbox, house could not be seen and that they don't care about - house number is what they want to see.

Document for notification of the residence of foreigner  aka TM30 receipt,  TM30 must have been reported using your current passport!!!

My last TM30 report was 6 years ago with an expired passport, I had the receipt slip in my current passport but it was not accepted, they said that they could not find any TM30 report for me in their system.

So this makes me believe that their TM30 database is separate from the TM47 database where my address is known and where I had made a 90 day report on-line two weeks ago, they can only check for TM30 using your passport number!

I could have gone home once again and made it online but decided that it was worth the 300 baht the visa company opposite the coffee shop/recreation area charged for doing it.

If the farangs wife is Thai, yes, ownership passes to the farang but only for one year, during which time it must be sold or new ownership arrangements made.

There is no farang involved in this case, the guy was Thai.

If you like scotch, I think Red Label is fairly priced and a few cheaper "brand" gins around as well. 

 

Hundred Pipers is on par with Red Label but much cheaper.

That it doesn't load Windows 7 is not the main topic of this thread, it was just one other thing.

ok, but don't expect it to run Win7 after it is returned.

Win7 will not have driver for the chips of a 1 year old motherboard.

It does not confer much more than an additional proof of domicile, it is only accepted for official ID (sometimes) in the province of issue and does not guarantee preferential treatment or rates at government hospitals or national parks.

It is an official Id document and much easier to carry around than a passport. I use it when traveling and staying at hotels which then don't (cant?) report ou as a foreigner staying there.

Their food needless to say was fantastic.

It still is very good and they are still there, I ate there today.

It is popular so you have to get there early (at latest 1 o'clock) because they serve Khao Kha Mo after they are sold out of duck.
