However, I am doubting this guy's word because, why, on logging on, would there be a statement averring that this exercise can be skipped by "designating my laptop as my trusted device?"
I have the same with TSB who may still be using legacy Lloyds systems, although I've had it for a few months now not just a few weeks. I select trusted device every time but it doesn't stick. I don't clear my cookies (Firefox) and can see TSB currenly have 52 cookies stored for me so it's not that.
Have you changed your laptop recently? I did earlier this year but not sure if it was the same time as I started seeing this issue.

Phuket office
That was the rules on the old system (pre December 2021) and that website has not been updated. If you hover over the link you'll see it's the old immigration extranet address, not a direct link to the current one. The old site has a re-direct on it so you end up in the right place.

Any recommendations for buying one of these magnetic chargers for my android phone. Lazada or Shopee would be great, please and thanks.
This one was recommended to me recently although I have not yet purchased it.

Chose the micro-usb, Type C etc for your device.

Example if doing 90 day online - your 90 day due date is August 29, you can submit it online from August 15 to August 22 only.
Not according to this post which shows an image from the (now removed I think) online instruction manual. Has this been superceded?

Yes. Same transfer every month. Same amount. Been 4 days. Nothing yet.
I don't know how you get your money to Wise, but it's been mentioned before that pushing it rather than Wise pulling it may get you back to where you were before.

Are you in a condominium? If so you should check with the Juristic Person Office that you are allowed a gas cylinder on the premises.
Did you read the thread?

Lots of Wise delays reported recently in other threads. Are you sending from North America?

3,000 minutes over six months is 500 minutes per month.
Duh - how did I miss that?
Any ideas whether the NT Thunder 12 month SIM will return? The guy I got a couple from has now run out but do you know of any other suppliers?

One more; There is also the 6 month NT Mobile powered Max Speed SIM for 849 baht (This is not the often mis-labelled NT Wireless Thunder SIM)
No speed cap, 500 any network minutes per month and 50 SMS. LTE coverage on Band 1, 5 & 40.
Of course up to the prospective purchaser to do their research as to whether it's suitable to them.
I came across what I think is the same one when browsing earlier on, albeit 30 baht more expensive than in your link. The way I read it (or Google reads it for me) is 3,000 minutes any network.

There are many places in Europe where you can hardly subsist on 1200€.
Yes, and without looking again I think one of the pages shows where they fall below the subsistence level.
3 minutes ago, Lorry said:And that's where you really need old-age discounts.
I don't know about other countries, but the UK for example has pension credits for those getting below the regular state pension so bringing them into line with it, and the UK is oft cited as having one of the lowest pensions around. That also then qualifies them for many more potential benefits.
I think we're getting (well) away from the MRT discount being discontinued so I'll leave it at that.

Did you notice that this site is talking about maximum pensions?
Nothing to do with reality.
Here's averages from 3 years ago which should be more representative and shows a similar pattern, and bear in mind they'll have increased somewhat since then. There's always going to be outliers well above and below average but I don't think it's as dismal as you make out.

Yes, river taxi boats are an economical way to travel through Bangkok. With fares as low as 40 cents, you can cover quite some distance along the mighty Chao Phraya River. The taxis follow a coloured-flag system, and an all-day pass would cost around $4. Sathorn Pier is the nearest stop to a BTS Skytrain station.
Link is to an article about cars. 😕

BTW in Western Europe, many pensioners get less than 1000 €/month, some just 500.
Figures are in GBP but this table indicates otherwise.
Greece in Southern Europe and Finland in the North are the only ones outside the Eastern bloc.

Apologies I know it's bad form to quote yourself but out of curiosity I ran the numbers on a few scenarios & was surprised to learn that only people remitting Assessable (Non-Gov) UK pension incomes (NB I'm only doing the calcs on UK pensions as that's the topic of this thread) of approx. 42-49K pm would have any Thai Tax owing, below this & your TEDA + 150K @ 0% would cover you, above this and the Tax you've already paid in the UK more than covers any Thai tax due.
<snip>
One thing not taken into account which may affect things is that many UK pensioners using pension drawdown will be taking part of their monthly income from the tax free allowance of 25%. This will reduce the UK income tax they pay and depending on the amount taken like this may or may not push them into the position where they will owe tax to Thailand.

Where do you find this "custom activity stream using "More", "Activity", "My Activity Streams" then "Create New Stream"?
If it works I might take part in this forum again but at present it is broken with the same people (Bots?) hogging the same repetitive topics!
Desktop view. I'm using Firefox.

Just now, smedly said:
90 day reporting dates are not linked to extension dates
I mainly agree, but some offices do the 90 day report when you get an extension, and this poster specifically says that his 90 day report was done when he went to pick up his extension.

My report date started two weeks prior to today, 31st July, and expires 7 days after. My extension is until the April 5th 2025, and I arrived to Thailand in 2020.
If your extension runs until April 5th 2025 you must have renewed it either on or before April 5th this year which is ~ 118 days ago.

It must all be a hoax - the 60 day thing and the removal of the limits. The UK has just updated their travel to Thailand advice and it now contains this:

Easy to find a ticket that price if you fancy a night out in Hawaii this weekend.

You went and ruined a good factual post by yet again banging on about your unfounded opinion that 60 days visa exempt won't last.
It was described in The Thaiger as temporary when it was at the sign-off stage (although I can't vouch for their accuracy).

A bit laborious to set up but seems to work. You're actually opting in to what you want, not opting out of what you don't want.
Create a custom activity stream using "More", "Activity", "My Activity Streams" then "Create New Stream".
Select your preferences on this page, give it a name and save it. The choice for "Following" doesn't seem to suit but that will be fixed next.
Go back in to this new stream and under "Following" change it to "Content posted in areas I follow" which wasn't an option when creating a new stream. Save changes.
Go into the sub-forums you want to view and follow them, selecting if you want notified etc each time. Select your new stream and you'll see only the new stuff in only the forums you've chosen to follow. Here's the heading of the one I've just done.
They're not laid out well (IMO) doing this but gets you what you want I think.

Thai immigration online 90 day reporting system
in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Posted
No, I always submit early and my only issue was on returning from overseas where they rejected it and told me to it now had to be done in person in this case.
