I have held a Retirement Extension for over ten years using the income method Each month I transfer far in excess of the amount required, from a private pension and receive a smaller amount from a government pension to an account in my own name at the Bangkok Bank. Both entries show a code of BTN in the bank book. The helpful Chiang Mai Immigration are claiming that the above code should be FTT and does not reflect that the transfer is from overseas. I suspect that this is a ruse to extract a service fee. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

It’s not ludicrous at all as there are many food allergies that can cause serious problems and can be just as dangerous as a muscle strain. My former wife suffered from coeliac disease and always informed restaurants before ordering food. If you have a physical problem it is stupidity not to inform the person who is treating you the same way you should inform a medical person if you have specific medical issues, allergies to drugs etc.

Mass killing exposes deep problems in Thai society
StevieAus replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
How does this expert suggest that a psychological study of the perpetrator be carried out, considering that he is dead? -
Dual nationality British/Australian
StevieAus replied to davemos's topic in UK & Europe Topics and Events
I am curious as to what would be the advantage of leaving Australia using a British passport if you were born in Australia and hold a passport from that country.? -
Many I have seen already are, although beauty is in the eye of the beholder !

Please suggest a self defence for my age?
StevieAus replied to georgegeorgia's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
One of the regular posters on this site posted a link the other day for obtaining a retractable baton from Lazada. He claimed that it certainly deters dogs. Maybe it will work equally well with humans. -
Almost refused entry at Suvarnabhumi
StevieAus replied to PattayaKevin's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Yes a man after my own heart, although my local Immigration office which I pass daily only requires the passport for 90 day reports and are so pleasant it seems a shame not to visit. I suppose using an agent could be argued as creating employment or redistribution of wealth. I will pass on the marriage part as I don’t want to keep losing half the house. -
When is the right month to get the Influenza Vaccination in Chiang Mai…?
StevieAus replied to mikey88's topic in Chiang Mai
Exactly and even though I have had flu vaccines for more years than I can remember a couple of years ago I contracted Influenza A here in January turning into pneumonia so maybe your information is correct. -

The advice I received from two different sources including Chiang Mai Ram Hospital was the same as stated by Scott above. -
Entertained a friend visiting from Sydney yesterday, he confirmed everything you have said plus more.

Is The Mae Sai Border Crossing Open?
StevieAus replied to StevieAus's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Very sad but have good memories will add it to the list of other places around the world that have been ruined. -

I can think of worse places to hang your hat, unless things have changed a relaxing place with good food and friendly people. -
Is The Mae Sai Border Crossing Open?
StevieAus replied to StevieAus's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
That's fine I wasn't aware it had appeared with that title, as I said in response to another poster problems that I don't encounter elsewhere seem to happen when I use this site. Maybe I am missing something but after all these years cannot think why it is happening now. -
Is The Mae Sai Border Crossing Open?
StevieAus replied to StevieAus's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
There was no thread dealing with current information and if you read my response to another poster I explained what occurred. Also this site seems to encounter many technical issues so I would only post a new item as a last resort. -
Is The Mae Sai Border Crossing Open?
StevieAus replied to StevieAus's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I don't know what the issue was with the title and don't know what went wrong. It did occur once before but no one has pointed out what I am doing wrong. I am far from being an IT expert but don't seem to experience issues elsewhere for example using the Australian Newspaper site where I regularly make a comment on articles. I will speak to my IT expert friend and perhaps do a dummy run. I don't want to incur the wroth of posters or keep standing in the naughty boys corner! -

Thanks much appreciated -
My thoughts exactly cannot see the logic and she will wear the cost of the damage. We have bought several new cars in Thailand, Toyota and Ford and never had a problem fixing anything under warranty. One had a major engine problem and the dealership were great and replaced the engine, provided a temporary replacement car delivered to the house. I sometimes think it’s how you approach the problem gets the results.

Marrying a 17 year old Thai girl in the village
StevieAus replied to Adumbration's topic in Marriage and Divorce
Unless they go to the District Office and follow the procedure there. they are not legally married. Whatever ceremony they carry out in the village means nothing.
