I think getting a visa or extension of stay whereby you have to go through 14 stages in a marriage extension and make trips to the bank, to a passport photo shop, to the Amphur for a new Kor Ror 22 and finally taking two copies of everything to Immigration, and dragging my wife along to sign 50+ sheets of paper every year is more than enough to prove my status.

I am just thinking how patient I need to be, given the latest panic over Omicron covid and lockdowns and what not, should I just keep waiting or try another phone just to check the process is happening? -

Honda ADV 350 - First Picture ...

I use Discord on another application that I use from time to time, and there are some serious dick heads there, just as I see the same on this forum. Social media has a lot to answer for. -

My mate has the CB300F, and it's exhaust looks like a chimney stack. -

The Forza 750 looks ok to me, fed up with entry level sport bikes that don't perform. As much as I like Honda, their exhausts on virtually all their bikes suck, big time. -
google dlt thailand, all the requirements are listed there. No need for an agent, it's a very simple process. First one is 2 years, after that 5 years.

I am small fry as far as my bank is concerned, I deal in thousands, not 100's of 1000's or millions, which is why I am so annoyed at all this nonsense I have to put up with. That is the true essence of my original post. -

Bajaj Dominar 250 - what do you think about this bike?
OneeyedJohn replied to CLW's topic in Motorcycles in Thailand
Why is it so heavy? I used to have 750 v twin Kawi that was 225 KGs, so 180 for a 250 is ridiculous. -

Thats the most sensible post so far, thanks. I looked at mytello, but it appears u need to set up an account with credit, which I cannot do as I don't have access to my bank account. Sorry if I didn't mention that earlier. -

same here, I was in the UK for a visa 5 years or so ago, and went into a HSBC branch in Cardiff to get the money for visa and you wouldn't believe how difficult it was. I did get the money but only by the skin of my teeth. So much security nonsense. -

I totally forgot about the cheap international calls, for Dtac is 00400 at 6 or 7 baht a minute, so that will make a huge difference. At the time I so distraught over this HSBC mess I wasn't thinking right. Just threw a couple of 500's on the phone and dialled. -

Why would your UK bank need to task HSBC to transfer, why can't they do it directly to your Thai Bank? -

My guy was working from home in Manila, he was hard to understand, but I think that was what he said. -

I am beginning to doubt my two phone calls costing nearly 1000 baht have achieved anything. -

This is what you said earlier. If only I know that number, then how on earth can you verify it? -

I am sorry but I am confused, the last thing this help desk guy said to me was they can post it to me, and I complained how long that would take, or I can go to a HSBC branch, which of course in Thailand is 900 kilometres away in Bangkok, so when I said email it, he said they can't, so I opted for post. If that isn't the case and I have to create one then what are they sending me, if anything? -

In one question in a Mensa test they speak 6 numbers that you then have to recall backwards. I could always do that, but 7 or more numbers forwards or backwards I think I would struggle.
