One payment bounce does not cancel it, not to worry

 Thanks.

Thank you Sheryl.

I plan to go to my bank tomorrow morning and see if they can help, and i'll call the 1506 Hotline, they will have an answer.

I have many savings account and I've messed up doing the top up ready for the SSO auto deduction process.

I already found there is a long grace period to get it all corrected. 

All my own fault and I'll learn from my error.

Thanks again.

NEW QUESTION ABOUT AUTOMATIC PERSONAL PAYMENT OF MONTHLY CONTRIBUTIONS FOR MEMBERS WHO HAVE CONTINUED THEIR INJURY AND SICKNESS BENEFITS.

My member contribution payment was due on 15 March using the auto system where the SSO automatically removes the payment from the members bank account.

I have just realized that my member payment didn't happen.

Why? Because I have several savings accounts (me alone and me and my son) and I topped up the wrong bank account - therefore not enough funds in the designated bank account.

Totally my fault.

I've called the SSO 1506 Hotline several times today but there's no english speaking officers answering the phone.  

What can I do to correct the situation? Any advice much appreciated.

I have just been to the local Social Security office and they absolutely insist that the yellow book and pink ID card is required.

Do you have a link or something definite that I can use as proof that it isn't required?

When I started the process of continuing my Article 39 Injury and Sickness cover the SS office here in Chiang Mai insisted that I must show a yellow Tabien Baan book and my pink card.

I explained that my name is in the standard dark blue Tabien baan book because I am a Permanent Resident PR.

SSO CM leader responded:

- What visa is PR? And what is the expiry date, and 'you need to go to immigration and insist that they organize a yellow Tabien Baan book for you'.

- I explained (through a Thai lady who is a company admin. manager here in CM, speaks perfect English and Thai) that PR is for life , it has no expiry date and it's automatic when PR is issued the foreigners' name goes in a dark blue Tabien baan book.

- SS leader here in CM insisted there is no such thing as PR, and was adamant that I must be mistaken and in reality have a one year renewable visa. 

- I Called the SSO Hotline 1506. Luckily on that day there was a snr. lawyer available to take calls in English.

- When I shared all of the details in the points above she said 'I'm not surprised, SSO staff have zero training or knowledge about visas and the regulations do state 'foreigner must have yellow tabien baan book' and pink D card. She took all the details and said she would personally visit CM office and conduct a training session about numerous items.

- Soon after that the SSO CM leader shared that he had learned that they can accept the dark blue covered tabien baan book.

From there the process went fairly smoothly and my section 39 Injury and Sickness benefits were restarted.

Many of these people are being forced from the country by dire economics, drug cartels and threats of death. Yet they're not human because they're trying to escape destitution and poverty.

 

These kind of statements indicate exactly who this man is, what he is and what he is lacking in the way of heart and soul. Perhaps it's Trump that's is not a human. At a minimum he is lacking any sort of qualities of decency and he is a very dangerous man. 

Add:   

... and lacking in morals and ethics...

My guess is that he procured these licenses for others, and bestowed them as gifts, with or without remuneration. And I guess that he probably included a gun, which aligns with the license.

 

 

 Your brain is on overtime, slow down.

Giving them 5 years in a Thai jail would be suitable I think.

Or more.  But let's keep in mind on the other side of the coin we have an ex PM, convicted for serious / proven offences and a Thai man jailed in australia for serious / proven drug offences. Both have miracouolusly ended up free.

No, they are only after those farangy's on the fiddle to boycott Thai laws. If you are on the fiddle in some way, stay behind the curtains.......

 

 

True, and for most it's just recognize that you are not in your citizenship country therefore you must obey the local laws re land / property ownership, regardless of your desires.  

Is it really that difficult to understand and respect that all countries have their own laws based on local history / customs and respect for the local citizens, etc.

"He is trying to kill us" one of the guys said in the video to the Thai couple. You can see that they were not being aggressive or looking crazy in the video. They had zero interest in using the gun themselves. Hopefully we will see all the CCTV evidence to show what actually happened.  Either way, I bet they will never return to Thailand again.

Well I guess the video etc., shows they are just 2 nice guys.

Ohh, I guess that's a comparison with the tough treatment thaksin has received.

One exiled convict, forgiven by the army, in exchange for surrendering his political party, one heroine dealer, and one failed PM, was was not democratically elected, but rather appointed by the army. Hmmm. Such impressive group. 

 

So, why aren't foreign investments going up here? 

Nice points, and it's been said before that clever Thai business folks get on with business regardless of the crap / invalid / unethical government.

Actually it was a very good play on words, and you missed his joke. Shame on you.

 

No I didn't miss the 'subtle innuendo'.

The poster can joke, his call. I don't see this as a joke, when 99% of the Thai population who front to a court are sentenced to jail and serve jail, for minor infractions.

Charged but how much time did he actually do in jail for ANY of the charges?

Good point of curse which highlights that ultimately the judicial process is not genuine at all.

I only mentioned Australia because that's where the kangaroos come from. And he was sentenced in Australia.

In other words you write total crap.

But,but he was convicted in a Kangaroo court (Australia)

Not true at all, Australia doesn't operate like that, not every country is like the LOS courts.

The Navy has relocated HTMS Chonburi out to sea, from the naval base in Chon Buri province, after a jammed artillery shell was accidentally discharged into HTMS Khirirat, which was docked nearby.

 

The accident caused a fire on HTMS Khirirat and injured 14 sailors.

 

The navy’s commander-in-chief, Admiral Adoong Pan-iam, explained that the relocation of HTMS Chonburi is a preventive measure, to avoid a repeat of the accident, adding “The ship will be thoroughly checked for any more jammed artillery shells or other faults.”

...the relocation of HTMS Chonburi is a preventive measure, to avoid a repeat of the accident, adding “The ship will be thoroughly checked for any more jammed artillery shells or other faults.”

Very unprofessional and way less than what should be expected of a military / navy vessel / team. 

Surely they have already days ago thoroughly checked their guns to ensure they are not loaded?  

I would expect confirmation that all guns are not loaded as a serious check, performed by mid level officers and reported to senior officers well before they are near a built up area or other navy vessels.

Just Grifting thru Thailand is all he does 

Do some further research, he was changed with a long list of actual / serious crimes, corruption and collusion and more.

He was charged, cases heard in the standard courts of Thailand, with several cases the real evidence was published, nothing to do with military, not kangaroo courts, convicted, and sentenced to many years in jail.

It certainly is his ex.

Probably after some post conjugal intercourse. 

In his time in politics and during the PM position period nnd in the period where they built AIS she was seen as the brains and the strategist and got a massive payout when they divorced.

Much more concerned about our domestic enemies that live amongst us and deteriorate the U.S. from within such as Biden, AOC and the Squad and Pelosi just to name a few.

 

Putins invasion happened during Biden’s watch.  Need I say more.

As usual, reading too much into my post.  Don't know where I stated straights or anyone, were or weren't pedophile's or molesters.  I simply stated males/men, as women, girls, young or teen boys are usually the victims of.  Women raping, harming my wife or daughter in the rest room is the least of my concerns.

 

The alphabet folks don't need special rights, laws, that criminals will use as loopholes, so they have an easier time of victimizing people.  All laws & civil rights already apply to everyone.  They are neither special nor deserve special treatment.

I didn't say you mentioned "... straights or anyone, were or weren't pedophile's or molesters."

I'll add what I please in any of my posts, you're not my master.
