  Anyone know if the construction for Rt 36 to Rayong is completed?  Or at least to the exit at RT 3191 is?  Been to

a couple PTT Rayong football games and if Rt 36 is completed,  I expect it to takee 1/2 the time as Rt3 to RT 3191.

Thanks in advance

Even though i bank with Krungsri i opened a Bangkok Bank account purely to do my monthly 65k transfers with Tranferswise. So far have the FTT on all transfers. Bit of a pain though as every month i have to withdraw 65k in cash from BKK and deposit it at Krungsri.

I'm just curious, but why do you have to withdraw the 65K from BB?

We are talking apples and oranges here.  The procedure for bank account based extension is known by most banks and customers but we are talking about the new requirement for income extension method for countries that do not provide Embassy letter.  For that there is no account balance requirement - but bank is responsible for confirming to immigration your monthly deposit into a bank account here is at 40k or 65k each and every month.

My bank book shows all the monthly 65,000+ FTT transfers from my home country. And I can get documents that show what I get from 2 pensions, my US bank they both get direct deposited to, the transfers I've made with Transferwise that show both the USD and Thai money amounts and my Thai bank account where they get deposited.  I intend to bring so many documents the immigration will get fed up and OK the visa, rather than look thru everything 5555  But it's all valid.

 I just renewed my US passport by mail.  You send your old passport, fill out the form, passport photo ( 2X2 inches ) and 2 bank drafts for the passport and them mailing it back to you.  You get back old and new passports and a letter from the embassy asking Thai immigration to put the old stamps in your new passport.  Same dates as the old passport for your visa and reentry stamps.

That only cost me 40 part to make 2 copies.  You get the new passport with the stamps and old passport back and for me it was maybe 10 days from when I mailed it in and got it back.  There's instructions and you can print the form from the US Embassy website
