Leaving 200K cash in an unlocked, shared storage area. What could possibly go wrong?

If she can take a beating like that without flinching, she’d definitely be able to handle me stealing the covers at night.

^ Scroll up to the March 2026 price list photo. It says on the bottom line that the 5 yr passport is optional for people aged 75+

Wow, a perfect score! 10/10 for the pivot, but 0/10 for actually answering the question. Is there a city on this planet that meets your standards, or are you just here to provide the background noise?

I bet you're fun at birthday parties too. Which city is currently meeting your 'Fragrant Waterways' criteria?

You could always brave the embassy line, but by the time you’re done, you might have aged a few years. Or just hire an agent who knows the ropes—after all, there’s no price tag on avoiding bureaucratic chaos… except 13,160 baht. 🙃

Do you risk everything for a fresh start, possibly with someone who’s just after your Bitcoin wallet and your left shoe? Or do you stay with the one who knows all your quirks, bad habits, and that time you ate an entire pizza in one sitting… and still somehow looks at you like you’re not that bad? Decisions, decisions. 😂

Just another day at my local Thai bank. Inside? Full. Entrance? Full. Seats? None. People standing outside? Yep, you bet.

I usually take care of everything at the machines outside the bank. However, the next time I need to go inside, I’ll update my passport number then.

Now it’s the criminals who don’t have tattoos and the coppers who do!

Lucky you. We recently wasted over 3 hours just to change my address. To keep our number in the queue Mrs N and I took turns to get lunch, bring back snacks, drinks etc …and to frequently move our car in and out of the 1 hr only carpark - no other parking was available. Hope this helps explain why I’m reluctant to visit Thai banks when you don’t have to.

Agree with imm & telco - thanks. My issue with banks is the potential number of hours (plural) that could be wasted waiting to be served - and I have a number of bank accounts.

Thanks. I'm the same - old passport kept (Oz). Agree about telling the bank if letter for extensions are needed but if an agent is used, then not important to tell your bank, correct you think?

Good to know, thanks. What would happen if you didn’t tell your bank?
