  1. The weak pound and strong Baht have left me litttle option but top leave Thailand. I have been staying here on a retirement extension.  I do not wish to be separated from my family, so rather than go back to the UK, I decide to spend a week in Siem Reap to see if it cheaper to live there. I found accomodation, food, drink transport and general living much nearer what I can afford - so I am planning to go there to stay for an indeterminate amount of time until financial circumstances allow me to return. In the meantime I intend to apply for a 6 or 12 month visa in Cambodia which includes multi entry permission to leave and return.

     

    My question is what visas will I need to make return (regular?) visits to Thailand.? I do not intend to renew my retirement extension, so I presumably will not be required to do 90 day reporting or completeing TM30s.

     

    Any help or advice would be very much appreciated.

  2. This morning I called in  to find out what was appropriate paperwork evidence for 65K baht monthly income method to obtain a retirement extension. I use Transferwise and wanted to know if its receipts, plus UK bank statement and Kasikorn bank statements with a letter, would be acceptable.

     

    I was informed, by a very friendly Volunteer, that currently Phuket Immigration was ONLY processing the 800K Baht method. They were still seeking clarification about what was acceptable for the 65K monthly income method.

     

    I guess we will have to wait until something is posted before we know what is accptabgle.

  3. Just curious. This morning (7th January) my Thai Visa News arrived. This is normal. I noticed that the forum item on Ex Pat Health insurance had responses to it that were 19 hours old - ie yesterday. This seemed to make any reponses I might want to make redundant, or out least almost out of time.

     

    My questions is is Thai Visa issued at different times or differnt days. I am in Phuket.

     

    Thanks

  4. This follows on from previous thread about Internet banking. I cannot use the kasikorn mobile app because it demands I connect for first use using 4G.

     

    My One Plus 5 phone simply will not work using 4G.i have taken it to DTAC, repair shops, asked everyone I know, but to no avail.

     

    Can anyone offer any helpful advice & suggestions please. Many thanks.

  5. I have just tried to set up a standing order from Kasikorn Account to pay my monthly rent to the owner, whose account is with Kungsri Bank.

     

    I had naively assumed this would be a straightforward inter bank payment ie a Standing Order.  However, despite visiting two Kasikorn banks to check, it appears they simply do not offer this service!! I am amazed.

     

    I could, however, stay in the bank, sign 5 pieces of paper (one of them 3 times), pay Kasikorn bank 60THB and the payment could be arranged for this one month only.

     

    Anyone had similar experiences and/or can anyone suggest a more convenient way of setting up a simple, direct monthly payment.

     

    Many thanks. J

  6. Apologies to all, I did not know in which forum this should be posted.

     

    I have a car and 2 motor cycles. One posting about Thai affairs said I should notify Dept of Land Transport about my change of address both for the vehicles and for my car and motor cycle licenses.

     

    Yamaha (motorcycles) and Nissan (car) from whom I bought the vehicles say that I need do nothing!

     

    Can anyone tell me which is correct. Thanks for your help.

  7. Help and advice needed.

     

    Renting a small 2 bedroom bungalow in Chalong area of Phuket. Landlord just increaed water costs per m3 from ฿20 to ฿30. Can this be legal - a 50% increase!

     

    Also, I think I read recently that the Government is prohibiting landlords charging more than cost price for electricity from May 2018. Is this correct? Currently I pay ฿7 per unit.

    Thanks for any replies.
