Bangkok Bank will do a one year bank statement. It takes about a week to get it for a fee of 200 baht.

I have gotten 3 of them and used them for my extensions.

One should order the 1-year-statement early enough. In 2019 I waited 2 weeks to get it via BKK Bank Banglamung Branch.

Because it did not show the complete record until day of application, I had to provide a 6 month statement aswell. This one you get immedeatley at you branch.

I needed that for the 800k method because never updated my bankbook.

The buses to the border were operating normally pre covid, about 10 buses a day to one border i went to

True. Bit I think the border runs for new visa were limited that you could not get more then 2(?) visa in a row outside your home countrey. Maybe I'm wrong. I did not use the runs for many years

Another one stat wonder!

 

Another nonsenes answer. The 3 mm you can find in plenty of studies, even your own links.

Mai pen rai. You can't fix hysteria.

Was these visa run option not already limited pre Covid?

the difference now is the speed at which changes are happening

Currently the sea level rushes with a speed of about 3 millimeters a year.

And by the way: Nobody knows how much of the 3 millimeters is man-made.

watch the world under water on the smithsonian channel which shows the effects of 50 feet to 100 feet increase on todays sea levels..its catastrophic with london dead and gone..dams galore will need to be built

By fast rising sea levels of about 3 millimeters/year, it may take a couple of weeks until we reach 50 feet.

Surely you understand that Tuvalu is the exception and is not representative of the wider picture. Don't you?

The example Tuvalu was widely used by the hysterics to "proof" their Armageddon.

They were wrong? How unfair to name that.

Come on, let's take an intercontinental flight to Glasgow to fight and join  the thousands who went there by planes to demand changes to "safe the climate".

Because if we don't, we all will suffer by rising sea levels of less than 3 millimeters per year.

Should we have a look at all those appocalyptical predictions of the last 50 years? It's quite funny.

You quoted Tuvalu to bash anyone who points out the truth that rising oceans are real and are a major problem.

 

As I told already, I quoted Tuvalu, because it was used by the hysterics for years. Not long ago, it was used by the German Green Party as a proof it would be nessesery to accept "climate refugees" from there.

Cherry picking Tuvalu is lying by  omission. If you know enough about sea level rise to know that Tuvalu is gaining in size you must also be aware that isn't the complete picture or even representative of the problem.

It's not me who's cherry picking. Tuvalu was used for years by the climate hysterics to proof the already current dangers of rising sea levels.

This is absolutely terrifying. I'm sure a lot of people who live back from the beach wish it would speed up a bit.

For those living near the sea level too. Until 2041 they will have to build a huge, nearly 7 centimeters high dam to survive.

Thank god, I live appr. 2-3m above that level. So I will have a couple of hundred years left.

I wrote "wealthier", not "wealthy".

Wealthier in the meaning of "no problems to meet the requirements" of the country you like to live/retire in.

Thais, like in the rest of SE Asia, are no longer interested in "housing" old dinosaurs ????

The wealthier ones will always be welcome. In Thailand and any other country worldwide.

Between 1901 and 2010 the sea level rose in average 1.7 MILLIMETERS a year.

Between 1993 and 2010 it was 3.2 MILLIMETERS/year.

In 2018 it was scaring 3.7 MILLIMETERS.

One should be able to contact Emirates about this, but it is impossible to talk to anyone there, as they never answer the phone !

There are a few guys here who did it with Emirates insurance. They should can help you.

Does Emirates offe a insurance paper for download?

If yes, download it, print it out and take a photo to upload it. Thaipass does not accept pfs

The new Green Stalinist government in Germany surely will save the planet from climate collaps by shutting down the last coal plants while China's building a new one every week ????

Yes, very sad. But 4 people on a motorbike? Crazy!
