Should be FTT and I did at 0834 Thai time so will arrive today. Believe cut off is 0900 for same day (our time).

I just made two transfers this morning - both said seconds until later in process when destination account was selected and changed to the 2PM (six hours). The key is to have the destination account tagged as quite sure if I select my other BBL account it would be immediate.

Actually US did not make any production cars of that type (Corvette was more of a Jag) so expect that is the reason so many found there way to be dumped across the sea. It was cheaper than a Jag but at least looked sporty in a VW way but the Ford mantra of Fix Or Repair Daily seemed to apply. Having owned the first Mustang and later an e-type Jag (and father a UK assembled Volvo ???? ) was not any more impressed with UK auto industry of the 60's than USA.

Yes but many are still operating at too high at min output if bought oversized.

Actually it is a very bad thing as much better to have proper dehumidification that a properly sized unit provides (and this is especially true in a tropical rain country),.

9K model should be more than enough - unless you want meat locker temps (which understand some do). But for about 26c have had no issues using 9k in my bedroom of 26 sm for last decade which is not well insulated but direct sun on roof only a few hours per day and live in room most of the time.

Indeed the bank letter that all are required to present is just to confirm your ownership and balance on date of letter.

AFAIK there is no foreign requirement for 800k in bank method and bank would not have a clue about immigration. You are aware that using 800k method funds need to be in bank at 800k five months (two months prior until 3 months after) and 400k all year under current rules. Suspect this is your first extension if need to transfer 800k?

Believe that 2 pm is for Wise direct transfers - not transfers from Bangkok Bank NY. I would give it several days before worry.

You do not need FET for extension of stay. At most credit advice and in most cases that does not seem to be required if you show deposit and Wise PDF of transfer. If using Bangkok Bank you want to have Wise tag that account (the one you use for immigration) and in most cases it will appear as "FTT" on bankbook. The reason for transfer as long stay in Thailand may not be providing that "tag" function anymore so a request to tag and the account number (use Wise account in that bank for payment) seems to be best advise currently. But in the event a payment is not recorded as foreign a credit advise can be obtained if required.

Would recommend Panasonic 4,500 watt as it is enough to keep warm during cold days (although upcountry might want more). Very good price/safe/reliable.

It is TCL (Telephone Communication Limited - not The Learning Channel). 3rd largest maker of TV's for the last 5 years.

Indeed was thinking ACH was from government rather than Wise. Thanks. What are the requirements for direct deposit to Wise? Normal US Bank ACH data? Was not aware of that option (to direct deposit to borderless account as never checked on that - but starting to sound like an option). Thanks again for the detailed report.

The downside is that it will require bank visit to obtain funds as Bangkok Bank account can not have card or electronic access as bank policy. For some not an issue - but for others could be a pain.

But in cities, such as Bangkok, those septic tanks indeed do have a drain - into the gray water system. Be they cement rings or the normal plastic types used today. Upcountry they often drain into nearest klong.

Perhaps a bit of information for photo as do not believe the sun was shinning anywhere in Thailand 5 hours ago.

Only for some - for normal Thai channels suspect it would likely not be a good choice as they have channel data onscreen and OLED is subject to burn more than LED. It also needs darker viewing area so not an advantage for normal TV use. The service life is also questionable. To pay more seems counter productive unless for a home theater type install to me.

Yes but are the toilets tied to it or just the septic tank? Each toilet should have an air escape near the actual toilet and above their entry into tank but in Thailand this is not normally the case for single family homes. So when heavy rains some and ground water gets higher than entry into septic tank gas can not get out and a new flush will increase water in pipe and force some back into bathroom or if too much prevent flushing. But issue could well be floor drains rather than toilet as they will not have any air escape path once gray water above pipes.

Normally they are safe for at least 4 years but believe we are more concerned about ground water level getting higher than the pipes from toilet which would prevent air escape from the tank vent and many toilets do not have a vent pipe here so as water fills pipe gas will be forced back up through toilet or any space it can escape.

But the drain is below the top so should not be filled - if ground water becomes higher during heavy rains the drain will fill and back water up to ground water levels in tank and plumbing which may result in backflow into home or critters normally below ground going to higher levels.

This is the normal install in Thailand and only in recent years has a wax seal even been an option - mostly unused as floors are cement so easy to seal base of toilet as is traditionally done rather than installing bolts into floor and having to have hole exact measurement from wall. Indeed if seal fails can have smells or leakage but normally easy to fix. Most smells are from drains that do not have water seal or water has dried out.

U traps are not normal for floor drains in Thailand. What there should be is a drain like below - which if full of trash or no water (or as all too often not installed) allows entry of smells or critters from below.

As for 4k it is the new standard so is not an additional cost anymore. Agree many of us have no use for it yet but a few years ago most did not need (HD) either - but most content now is - and production cost is just about the same for HD or 4K screen so everyone changing.

Bangkok Bank may not be keen to provide such a letter as they do not have proof of origin. So first download PDF receipt from Wise. That may be all you need. If more required that PDF will advise the account bank used to pay into your Bangkok Bank account and you ask that bank international department for a credit advice using the information from PDF receipt. As a last resort that credit advise might be used by Bangkok Bank to write letter for immigration. But in most cases if you show a deposit and a Wise PDF supporting it expect immigration will be happy.

First two words about sums this post up.
