which experts recommended against it?

how about Lidia Thorpe, a first-nations federal senator with whose views I otherwise disagree?

Or Warren Mundine AO, also inconveniently (for you) blackfella:

The OP's premise is nonsense. USD is NOT appreciating vs baht. Apart from that, it's fine.........  as usual.

Recommend BNH on Convent. I haven't had to go there for a couple of years but have had good service and a doc (can't remember her name) who evidently knew her job (and spoke good English).

Your bank account has your pp # etc recorded.

If you renew a passport you need to contact bank to change the details bank has re your pp.

You would not be able to do counter transaction without updating details.

Seems perfectly normal.

You sound like them!

The only time I ever use a bank book is for Immigration on the annual extension. It's such a weird system and I have neer understood why Thais attach such mystic importance to it; likewise, when was the last time anyone actually did a "counter transaction"?

I am renewing my EOS on the 11th of this month and was concerned that my passport wouldn't be returned before the 20th.

Something wrong if the IO keeps your passport. Never leave their office without it.

It's always best to carry a hard copy of the report with you as mobile devices can breakdown. 

But who for? In almost 30 years I have never been required to show passport, EOS, 90-day, TM30 or any other doc - except when going to IO to renew same! Why do people get so wound up about this stuff?

I had to get a new bank book last week and that caused a row because the passport had changed since the bank last saw it. This concept of changing a passport always throws Thai businesses for some reason, as if they don't do the same; bank gets more hot under the collar than Immigration ever does.

They do have a sense of humour you know.

Ability to laugh is not the same as a sense of humour, as the fabulous Rich Hall points out in his act.

Ned, Echoes et. all. were on an underwater mission to find something (a motorised oven if I recall) and didn't know the directions so they knocked on this oyster to ask for directions.

Minn answered: 'H e l l OOo.'

Ned asked " hello, is Pearl in?".

Reply: 'No I'm her mother'.

'Ahhhhh, you must be Mother of Pearl'. ????

In December a mass cremation ceremony is held at Wat Latthiwan (Wat Kon Tan : วัดลัฎฐิวัน วัดขอนตาล) along the Ping River near Mae Rim.

.... and in the West they call them wildfires.

Some posters questioning the validity of the OP's enquiry. Why?

Only point I would make is that few outlets will want bodies of the age of most of these readers.

Not my experience last week.  We used one that was several weeks old at SP. it's hard to imagine it was missed, they were very very thorough...

Definitely got barked at for not having it 2 years ago and made sure last year, so Madam will go to amphoe (yes, another poster,ANY amphoe) tomorrow just before we trek to that godawful empty mall in mid-nowhere! Luck of the draw, isn't it.

Seems many on this thread can't see the difference between 22 and 2. It's the latter - or its update - we have been talking about.

Gang violence once again rocked the Bangkok community last night

the Bangkok community? Really? In Bang Phli? It didn't rock people in Samut Prakan, let alone BKK. The usual hyperbolic nonsense.
