Was on the news last night, my gf said he was on Yaba !

  I had to close my HSBC account at my branch in Malta because I had not used it for more than half a year.  'Dormant' they call it, you may reopen in for any further transactions but I chose to just convert the balance to Stirling then transfer it to my Krungsri foreign currency account.
  Maybe Barclays are adopting similar procedures if you had not used the account for some time.

Could always hotspot to PC.

Bit pointless asking so called adults what they think of a childrens theme park.
Adults and kids would have different views on the same thing.

My gf has a nephew and niece, 8 and 11 years old , and wants us to take them to a 3D Dinosaur exhibition/theme park at Sukhumvit.
The kids live with their grandmother and don't get treated to many luxuries so I am keen to do this .
 
Read up on TripAdvisor and got the usual mixed bag of reviews but wondered if any TVF members have been and have any tips ??

I went down the O-A route in the UK as I was 50 years old so could not go down the O route. As Ubon Joe says one of the key attractions of the O-A route is you do not have to transfer the 800,000 baht into a Thai bank account until nearly 2 years later when you apply for your first extension. This is exactly what I did.

I opened a Thai account early to help on ATM charges plus I wanted to buy a car and have access to cash easily.

How did you make out with no Thai account for 2 years if you don't mind me asking ?

Interested to see how this works out for you, I've been out of the uk for 21 years and always used my fathers address for my NatWest account.

My Dad is 87 and not gonna live forever so I've been wondering what I should do when the inevitable happens ( god forbid).

My idea was just to change my address to my daughters but if I can use a Thai address even better .

That's because his head actually is a Durian !, it's not a mask at all !!

Are you saying that the Bht 800,000 can be in your home (UK) bank.

My Thaivisa Connect app has gone for a dump again but strangely enough will open via Tapatalk !!

Agree with that.
Anyone recently seen this clip on TV about speeding on motorcycle.
Where a dog walks on the street following an accident...
I tried to search it on YouTube but couldn't find it.
This is a good start and they should air more of these clips

Yep, mines just gone tits up again.Bout time they got The Nation Tecs in that know what their doing.

Yeah, mine had the problem this morning, deleted app and downloaded again, okay for about 3 hours then went breasts skywards also !!

Shame because I prefer the app as only have t'internet on my phone and the app is easy to navigate ( when it's working ! )

I had a walk down WS last Sunday around 8 pm expected it to be quiet !!

There were literally hordes of Chinese tour groups following their flag bearers, it was like the opening ceremony to the Olympics !! [emoji51]

RIP young fella.

Another poor chap gone too soon.

My condolences to his family and friends .

A non-o visa can be obtained for being 50 or over, The 65 year old rule only applies in the UK and you must also be drawing a state pension.
There are nearby embassies and consulates that will issued one.

In Ayutthaya there is a roundabout with a large bell shaped old monument ( excuse my ignorance of the correct name for this ) on top.
Just before the roundabout the frontage road joins the main road to create 7 lanes which in turn funnel down into 3 lanes almost immediately going round the roundabout.

Needless to say: Absolute carnage !!

Insane road structure + inadequate driving abilities =......well, you all know the outcome !!

" However, analysts warn that travellers, especially those who want to use laptops to work during flights, could switch to airlines and airports not affected by the new regulations. "

Yeah ! , if you don't like it go somewhere else !!
As easy as that ? [emoji51]
 

A retirement visa, or Non-Immigrant O-A visa to give it its correct title, can only be obtained from the Thai Embassy in your home country.
You will need a Police background check from your home country also.
You will need a medical certificate, from the Thai Embassy website..

You will need 800,000 baht in a Thai bank , or equivalent in your home currency/bank.  Or:

You will need 65,000 baht monthly income, or equivalent in your home currency/bank.

( the two requirements can be achieved by combining the two amounts).

 The medical certificate can be done in Thailand or in your home country.

The financial requirements can be met in Thailand or your home country.

I recommend you research the information thoroughly on the Thai Embassy website .

No not alone !

It's not living up to it's expectations for me !

As soon as I did a transfer from my American bank to Bangkok Bank, Bangkok Bank disabled my ATM card for that account. It was my understanding that once you transfer money internationally to Bangkok Bank, you can't have an ATM card for that account. You have to transfer money to another account, either at Bangkok Bank or another bank to use an ATM card. I've been transferring money from the USA to Bangkok Bank for years and then transferring money from Bangkok bank to my accounts at other Thai banks when I need it and I've never had a problem.

For those Benny Hill fans !!

Bad news. The terrorist is still alive, having been given CPR. So the second death must be a police officer or another innocent civilian.

Brave man posting that pic:-) now that's a proper pair of Jesus sandals
