    Below is what the Western Union Thailand website states....doesn't say a person must have three multiple documents.....pretty much just says some type of govt-issue ID.   

     

    As already mentioned by another poster above if three documents were needed a tourist in Thailand couldn't receive money because they most likely would not have a Thai drivers licenses, work permit, or Pink ID card.  All they would have in their passport with Tourist Visa/Visa Exempt/Visa On Arrival stamp.....and maybe that's what is really meant---just some kind of stamp like a Visa Exempt stamp in your passport showing you are not on an overstay.....allowed in the country thru the permit to stay date on the stamp. 

     

    Heck the need for three documents would prevent many people on long stay visas (i.e., retirement, marriage, 1 year type visas, etc) from receiving money as they might not have a Thai drivers license, work permit, or Pink ID card.

    I think the hammer on his car would have been more effective ????

    EFFECTIVE for what? to start a war?

    that neighbour caused  many problems, for example he used to walk his dog at 3 AM daily. than

    allways "lose" him and start calling him loud. or that his sons use to bar-b- que until 5 or 6 in the morning, in the yard, where all the hood can hear and smell them.

    but since it is a very - VERY- quiet neighbourhood, with quiet and religious people, nobody confronted

    them as they were used to in their previous hard hood, nobody was angry with them, everybody

    just smiled and wellcomed them, until one day, around a  year later, they stopped all the nonsense and became also quiet and considerate. i guess they started hearing their noise and got ashamed of themselves.

    logically (if a 14-day Covid insurance was accepted for the COE) you ought to be stamped in for a 14-day permission to stay.

    the COE for sandbox is for min. 14 days. what you do after that is not their concern, so

    the embassy only want to see insurance for 14 days. if you will stay later without insurance is

    not the embassy concern. also immigration does not require to see insurance for non-O extention.

    so just show the embassy a 14 day insurance and get your COE.

  4. we had a neighbour like that, but not in thailand.

    he came new near out house, and rumor had it that hehas a criminal

    record and hisbrother was in jail.

    than his sons allways parked in our private parking. we had to go and ask them

    nicely to move their car. and they would do it. again and again and again, for allmost a year. than they stopped it.

    you see, some people are just like that. they want to show they are the boss.

    they want to provoke you. to start a fight. and when you do not respond, and

    just talk politely and respectfully, one day they will wake up and stop it.

    if you ever wanted to return the money to the Uk you might need proof of having it sent here

    the bank cannot tell if it was the same money that was sent from the UK ...money has no smell...what

    counts for the bank is where the customer is resident. if he will reside in thailand for few years

    than the bank will see the source.

    No that is simply incorrect. If you disbelieve me then download the TTB app , it will ask you if you wish to register via activation code (this comes from the app on your old phone) or, debit card (you also need your account no & ID/Passport no). After you make your selection it then asks you to disconnect WiFi & use mobile data - that mobile data must come from the SIM card associated with the phone number with which you registered your account ie your Thai SIM card. The Krungsri app now makes the same request when transferring to a new phone - activation code/debit card not required, only account no. & ID/Passport No. There is no option on either of these apps to use SMS.

    to be honest, i never use the app. only website. safer.

    mother had an operation to improve her sight and it had blinded her in that eye

    i once asked a woman from isarn what do the poor people of isarn do

    if and when they get sick, and they can't afford the healthcare.

    she answered in her naive straightforward way: THEY DIE.
