    Simple bkk6060: I was looking for an apartment to rent and sent 5000 THB as deposit with the promise to get a receipt of the deposit in 2 days. Was chatting with a foreign male but the deposit was sent to a female Thai bank account. After 3 days told him to refund me and he agree, but he ask me many times my account but I refused to give as I was scared he can do something wrong again. I told him to get my account details where the deposit was transferred....but still nothing happens.

    He probably wouldn't see full details of account where money came. Safe to give account details, he offered to return money.

    Seems like your problem.

    Any of those 3 banks should not be a problem. If your wife already has an account it will make it easier to open an account since she can be your reference.

    Believe joint account accepted but you need double required balance. I am going to look into it soon.

    My wife worried she not have quick access if I fall of perch.

    Even with will I think it slow to access.

    I want to buy a laptop. Budget baht 15,000 or there about.

    Can anyone recommend a good buy as I am a dinosaur when it comes to computers

    Look at Lazada. Buy with 8GB ram and SSDDrive. Plenty available. Be cheaper. Buy from Thailand supplied be preferable. Something like this ask them upside drive to 500gb ssd won't cost much extra.

    Anyway after doing my annual renewal  with no hassles except time I went to do my 90 day report.  I was over by 10 days and was advised that 

    If I wanted a receipt it was a 2000 baht fine but no receipt only 1000.  

     

    Being the true ethical and PC person that I am

    Going from extension of stay based on OA (retirement) to Non-Imm O based on marriage

    If I get married (registered, etc.) how do I go about switching from my current NonImm OA-based extension of stay to a NonImm O based on marriage?

    You don't need to change to O you can just change OA extension to marriage. Easy along as you have proof marriage.

    Immigration have a sheet with all requirements.

    I done it last year very easily.

    Deserted Cha-Am beach: Hotels chief says foreigners will not return to Thailand until 2022

    Business was bad, but many were in survival mode until some government officials allowed migrant workers to cross the borders in exchange for bribes. With the current closure most hotels and restaurants are now without any income and the gov isn't interested in helping out in any way at all. Wanting to build bridges, buy submarines and so much more things Thailand DOES NOT NEED NOW for billions of dollars... while claiming there is not enough money to help the people.

     

    In the meantime these same officials and politicians get paid as usual and find more rules and regulation to squeeze out more money from normal citizen.

     

     

    You forgot the 300kg sky rocket to the moon.
