Do you have any friends or family in the UK who wouldn't mind you using their address for your account? If so just change the address to a UK one and that ought to solve the problem. Given that you don't use it and it has little money in it, you don't need to see monthly statements.

I thought all banks have paperless online account statements.

Get an address back in the UK.

No.

Now find the owner of the construction project, and that might explain the non-compliance.

Are lamyai toxic in large quantities?

Quite possibly if mixed with Thai spirit which is basically ethanol, maybe the fermentation continues in the stomach. 

So NOT dead at the wheel then. Fake News headlines just keeps coming.

Not to forget the annual family photos. One in the bedroom, one in the living room, one in the dining room and one from the house with house number, DIN A4 upright, signed and everything in duplicate. You have to plan carefully when the children study in other cities. They all have to travel for the photo session and come together.

Practiced idiocy.

Trat require SIX photos for marriage, witness present at application and at home visit. Four photos, for retirement. Home visits for both. 

The day immigration go digital, it will probably take longer than now, it's all about jobsworth and corruption, we are falang anyway so we will be the last to benefit from anything in Thailand if at all.

Walked in to the one near walking street a couple of weeks ago, they were not interested in anything except a work permit, no work permit no account.

As with many other banks they can not get their head around " I am RETIRED "

Well, if I do not yet represent the farangs who have been here for many years, and this is debatable, then, surely, someday I might.

 

By the way, how long does it require, since one first set foot here, for one to be considered long time?

 

Is 50+ years enough?

What you represent is immaterial to anybody else, you only represent YOUR views and nobody else's we all live different lives no matter what.

also remember this:  When you finally find a good roost, like here, then settle down and stop your wanderlust for places imagined that, if you were to get there. would not measure up to where you are now.

 

I have done my wanderlust those places are not imagined to me, coz i've been there, before I got my good roost here. Venus looked beautiful last night from my garden maybe i'll go see if it's any better than here. ????

Tw@ts !

The prime minister said at the event that housing is a critical matter,

How enlightened the General is, considering he is still living in a military barrack 'Guest House'. The cost of this PR stunt was probably enough for a small house or a few years rent. Any disgruntled noodle sellers among the tenants ?

Just my opinion, what are they going to do if everyone just open up!  There isn't enough manpower to stop it from happening the reason the boys in BIB and the government leaders will be too <deleted> face themselves to know what to do? Lets party open and have a blast but of course wear a mask!????

Bring in the water cannons probably.
