Online appointment for extension of stay based on marriage..
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.

BKK Bank New Acct-Long term expat to provide ID from home countr
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.

Question about obtaining bank letter from BBL
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.

Question about obtaining bank letter from BBL
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.

Hot Dogs
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.

Need a reliable company to be able to receive text messages from the U.S on my android
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.
