Thank goodness for that (for the moment anyway). Hopefully, unlike during the pandemic, education will be prioritised and not scaremongering and panic measures.

I regularly transfer money from my UK Lloyds account to my Bangkok Bank online, and it usually goes through in 2 working days.

That's really helpful thanks. Hopefully Rayong have the same view!

Not at all for me, although it's a big chunk of his pocket money!! I'm just enquiring whether children can be fined for not doing 90-day reports.

Ordinary tourists do not need a bank account. Can tourists open bank accounts in other countries? I'm sure they couldn't in the UK.

My 10-year-old son (UK passport holder) was born in Thailand and has lived here all his life. He has an annual Extension as my dependent. He has never done a 90-day report and this has never been an issue when getting a new extension each year. I want to switch his reason for staying from my dependent to his own Education extension (he goes to a Thai school), and in order to prevent any potential issues, I think it would be better for him start doing 90-day reports (Rayong Immigration). If apply for him online, I expect it will be rejected, as it's his first ever report. Not a problem, I'll take him to Immigration to do it in person. But will "he" be fined for not having done one before; or as he is a child, will the fine be waived?

Maybe he only wants Thai nonces in Hua Hin !

If you're vaxxed you should be fine and even if you get it, it will be mild.

Call the police. Corporal punishment has been made "illegal" in Thailand. Good luck!

Well, yes! I've been a Bangkok Bank account holder for 20 years and have never had any issues.

It only affects "tourists", not people who are living here.

An excellent summary.

Newbie question - what is a "granny charger"?

Interesting. No new TM30 was required by Rayong when my wife returned from abroad last year. I've just got back from the UK, so will be interested to see what happens when I go in to do my 90-day report in July. My landlord does my TM30 for me and she "confirmed" that no new TM30 was required by Rayong when returning to the same address from abroad. I wonder if she'll pay the fine if she's wrong?!

It will be interesting to see. If there's another Islamist terrorist attack, and the authorities know for sure who committed it, will releasing the details quickly mean less or more chance of riots from the far-right?

This was: "My question was "An admission that they were wrong?" The answer was (in case it's still confusing for you), "Yes".

Because you kept asking the question! Anyway, we're all on the same page now. Took some time, but we got there. 👍

"They have learnt their lesson from the Southport attacks" suggests, yes. Can't you see that? Keeping silent about the ethnicity of the suspect led to horrific riots last time. They don't want that again.

I don't think the suspect's religion has been mentioned yet.

You obviously missed this part, then: "So far, Merseyside Police have not suggested that Monday’s incident meets that threshold. But by sharing early details about the suspect, the force is signaling a more transparent and proactive approach. While the public still does not know why this attack occurred, the police are attempting to communicate openly, even as many facts remain uncertain."

Because they didn't want the usual rightwing nuts jumping to conclusions, rioting and trying to burn down asylum seeker hotels, like they did after Southport.

It's TDAC not DTAC (which is a phone company). Your completed TDAC is shown on the officer's computer screen. Had you not completed one, you would have to have gone back to one of the kiosks to do so.

But are boosters still easily available in hospitals in Thailand?

You might be right, but look what happened after the Southport murders! The police can't win.

A 90-day report and a TM30 are completely different things.
