Your resort manager should be able to get a "TM30 submitted" report from their online account, but only within 7 days of submitting your TM30. PH

Which extension? I have always done mine well in advance and never a problem PH

I bought last year, using two WISE transfers to BKK Bank, both marked "for property purchase". No issues at all with Land Office. I did a comparison with using bank (rate and fees) against WISE - there was actually little in it. For msaller amounts, WISE wins by a mile, but as their fee is a percentage as opposed to the (usual) flat fee of a bank, it will eventually be more expensive. PH

Hogwash. Reference please, or go away. PH

Ha!! Remembered I had downloaded the excel file so that was date stamped...but I had already filed another TM30 yesterday, so a search on the old date threw up - my latest one from yesterday. hey ho....I have a screen shot now!! PH

Thanks...I have no idea when I submitted the report though!! So that could be a time consuming task to go day by day till I land on the right one! PH

After entering our own details of stay, do we get some notification that they have received it? Or do we merely attach a copy of the input excel fiule to our passport? PH

Clearly a man with his finger on the pulse of most Western democracies, and how not a single one of them tries to bribe voters with their own money in the lead up to an election. The question is not whether the current UK gubmint will do this to try and get re-elected, but how much. PH

One-way north to south, with all the side sois one way, alternating from 3rd to 2nd then 2nd to 3rd - as those from Beach to 2nd do. Raised pedestrain walkway on at least one side for the entire length (with no street furniture), designated and marked loading bays for deliveries. Separate and marked scooter parking. Remove pretty much ALL areas for cars to park to reduce incentives for anyone to travel there in a car (though the large carpark at the market end could be expanded and controlled for those who wish or ned to bring a car in). Maybe even add in a moveable barrier at the north end of Tree Town to stop all through traffic from about 5PM. Would make the road more enjoyable and safer for all without impeding those who need to transit too much But, of course, to work would need to be enforced - sadly little chance of that. PH

Apologies; I had. PH

Jomtien. I definitely have NOT done TM30 each and every time and definitely HAVE NOT been fined. I really don't care what the TM30 desk have told you when the TM47 desk has not said ever batted an eyelid. As an aside (for others, probably, as you appear not to care about real life experiences) was pleasantly surprised in July when, after getting an online 90 day reminder, my (online) application was rejected because I had been out of the country in June, and incuding a new date based on when I got back. When that date approached, my online application was approved. PH

Been on extentions to retirement visa for 7 years. Covid apart have travelled abroad multiple times every year and have never filed a new TM30. Renewal no problem, doing it myself (so no agent "help" to bypass anything) at Jomtien. PH

Such a shallow and unnecessary comment. There are many Thai/Falang relationshiops that are genuine; just becasue you choose to rent some false affection does not mean that applies to everyone. PH

Difficult to report back success or otherwise of any scheme after you have passed on! PH

So you agree that they are not "just a currency transfer service" as claimed by the post I replied to? PH

My interest bearing Wise jar says otherwise. And pays WAY more interest than any UK High Stret Bank. PH

In the market for a new click - 125i probably, but maybe 160 and looking for recommendations for dealers who do not charge the Mityong "Central Pattaya" ...ThaiHonda website says RRP 51,400 for 125i, but Mityon want 56K so am happy to travel out of town if it saves me 5k! PH

Fake news. There isn't one. PH

Only profiteering is because greedy landlords are able to con idiot renters who could say "no" and go elsewhere, but choose rather to pay more than the Government tariff but then go on social media blaming others for their own incompetence. PH

No-one forces you to rent a condo with excessive charges for either electricity or water. Maybe doing your own research would help you, rather than trying to blame others for your ineptitude. PH

Use Wise and you get pretty much mid-market rate. PH

Agree 100%. These guys never travelled through Heathrow? Or O'Hare? Swampy is heaven compared to either of those. But hey, don't let uncomfortable home truths get in the way of your superiority complex and need to bash our hosts as much as you can to try and make yourelf feel a little better, eh! PH

THB 300 extra to HKT...so about 15% of the air fare then. Seems fair enought to me to charge the slim and thin 1850 and the overeaters 2150..... PH

This is an incredibly incorrect post. heads up. PH

Well said. PH
