  1. Frankly NO! As DrJack has said multiple times, the stated issue is CW specific, therefore, the response is CW specific with no relevance to any other office.
  2. None of this is required for an retirement extension. I just did mine 2 weeks ago.
  3. For what it's worth, in the USA, driving licenses are issued by your state of residence. Each state has its own rules. My state is Texas and driving license can be renewed online every other renewal and must be done in person for the interim renewals.
  4. Can't beat it, but our29 years is well on the way.
  5. Quick update, made request for one year statement at my BBL branch, this morning. Will be ready in 3-5 business days, so I'll pick up next Wednesday. Cost 200 Baht. I'll go again just before going to CW for the final month statement and bank letter. My thanks to everyone for your assistance.
  6. I got the retirement extension last year. Now need to do annual extension. Sorry for the confusion.
  7. I'm getting ready to apply for my first retirement extension of stay and the only point that concerns me is obtaining the letter from the bank, Bangkok Bank, substantiating my 800k balance for the year. When do I request this letter from the bank? The day before I go to CW, a week before, a month before? It needs to cover a full year. Money was there, no problem, I've maintained the full 800k in the account for simplicity purposes and account is in only my name. Can I do this at my branch in Bangkok, or do I have to go to the main office and can I do this in one day. Sorry if this is repetitive, but I couldn't find anything specific about this. Thanks in advance for your kind help.
  8. Can easily replace vapes with cigarettes, so, why no crackdown on them?
  9. Having something to do was not part of your request.
  10. I've been in stage 1 for 28 years and loving every minute of it.
  11. Why is a 3-year-old story being posted? There're new similar stories happening on a weekly basis!
  12. I just checked my Lazada account, and it's working normally.
  13. For me, if only visiting one, the one to see is Wat Phra Kaew, the Temple of the Emerald Buddha.
  14. Mine certainly are not the same, other than both being 13 characters, they aren't even similar formats.
  15. Amazing... not old enough to drink but ok to be a father... oh well, never mind then.
  16. 18, last I knew... If not, then never mind
  17. He's not an adult and she is.... rape (legally) works both ways.
  18. Hard to condone statutory rape....
  19. They still have them, and they are a reasonable substitute for American hotdogs, but as posted above, IMO, Villa Market at Sukhumvit Soi 33 has the best selection of all actual American imports, albeit on a hit and miss basis. FWIW, I buy a lot of stuff online from "BritiShop, Expat food delivery Nationwide across Thailand" . They have a great selection, quick delivery, and found some excellent sausages that are identical to American breakfast sausage. There meat pies great. Personally, I find their prices reasonable, but I suspect many here will bash the prices as they do everything else. BTW, I am an American that's been here for nearly 30 years.
  20. Ditto, same for me for last 20 years... typically average 3 transfers a month.
  21. I have a Skype phone number, you can get for whatever area code you want. Virtually all my stateside accounts of any kind have that number to call me, which gets forwarded to my Thai number here, or they can text me, virtually everything you would need gets handled seamlessly with the Skype number.
