What internet provider are you using? Are you using virus/malware software? You are using Windows 10?

Suspect that says it all. I was in Japan from 1961-3 and MC were already accepted as some of the best in the world and Datsun Bluebird was already much more reliable than cars in USA (they had to be driven full out on the roads of Hokkaido). The Chinese have done their homework, just as Japan did after WW2 - was there in late 70's when they first opened up and when they bought equipment they made very sure they understood how it ticked so they could make themselves. After 40 years they are experts and most high tech products are now being made there both by Chinese and other countries.

Actually that is official advise of security and banking officials. There is no need for that code to be on card once you know it. Only you should be using it.

Most people would not have room for such a storage tank in a condo and suspect many would not allow because of weight anyhow but any building supply sells water storage tanks. A good shower head might be a viable option if unable to increase pressure. I have bought below type (although have high pressure - they provide good coverage but are still soft feeling). Have both SS and Al types and they both work well (AL is much lighter in case of drop on toes) https://shopee.co.th/ฝักบัวแรงดันสูง-ฝักบัวอาบน้ำ-ฝักบัว-น้ำแรงและนุ่ม-สปา-สแตนเลส-304-หัวฝักบัว-ฝักบัวอาบน้ำแรงดันสูง-shower-head-i.160139238.8678236328

Which would have resulted in us being up the creek without a paddle when immigration did. Instead they made it public and issued months in advance to allow people to set up the new system and got immigration to allow less than a full year of transfers for first year.

Which is what happened - after set date such affidavits would not be accepted by immigration without Embassy guarantee information was valid - major states with privacy laws could not do that.

Not sure but reports on Thai Enquirer quote as "third-party overseas e-commerce platforms" as what Central Bank said (but knowing reporting here that could be charges rather than data).

Ten's of thousands have used that specific ATM in the last two weeks? Much more likely a data base hack or inside leak.

They are reporting 40,000 accounts and cards are being suspended by Thai Banking Authority due to suspect hacking. https://www.thaipbsworld.com/central-bank-tba-suspend-credit-debit-cards-following-suspicious-deductions/

I did not include in paperwork but they have been removed from passport and copied the last several years.

I believe it was immigration making new demands that Embassies had to guarantee data - which most western governments can not do by law.

Actually found that since change to Wise name amount of $1,500 is confirmed be it immediate or next day if select "long stay" without need for them to first obtain funds - but if more they want me to sign on to my bank account now (not required prior name change). As unable to sign on as bank requires online selection of pin or password first (which they do not take into account) have option to have them make two deposits and transfer is immediate after you enter the amounts. Just to point out up to 1.5k USD may be an automatic approved transfer prior to receiving ACH money transfer now.

They might be providing under the free SMS system they use for foreign deposits which would not be useful in this case - but perhaps if subscribed to the pay SMS notifications service they would be provided for all?

In my experience it was not required prior to 2019 - but in May 2019 I had to have owner make TM30 report (with 800 baht fine as was about 20 years late) and there were dozens making reports at 4 desks set up for that only - and in June 2019 the copy was required for retirement extension of stay and a copy of that report has been made each year since. I do not have a lease so that might be a deciding factor on it being required (as married).

30 min before breakfast for me using Vejthani Hospital. Have been using for about a decade as Thyroid is mostly removed and remaining not working.

I would go with the bus/taxi myself - taxi is easy to get and not expensive in Bangkok (although often issues from airport). If you had abscess surprised they operated as normally they cure that first as they tend to draw the pain killer and none gets to the nerve otherwise. Been there and it is not pleasant at all. For me it is not just hospitals - any outside activity seems to increase BP. If you feel like it an update after doctor visit might be helpful to other readers. Good luck.

OP seems to be misinformed regarding hospitals in Thailand. I have never seen any better private hospital here without emergency room service - most have a fleet of ambulances and cardiac care units. And it is sure good to have insurance if/when such care is needed. Public hospitals are not free for foreigners - much cheaper than private normally but there can be more trade offs than just physical settings. In my case a cancer operation 5 years ago would have only been about 100k at a public hospital rather than the 1 million I paid at a private facility. The deciding issue was wait time - I would likely not be here without the private option that insurance allowed. I understand many of us older folks do not have many options for insurance if not already have when younger - but for anyone at a reasonable age highly urge you to have and keep current (foreign sourced insurance that will cover living in other countries). You can never depend on being able to medevac and most of us with families would not want to do it even if we could.

Nobody is guessing about anything in regard to deposits not being made by Bangkok Bank directly as they should be using long stay in Thailand - posters have checked PDF's - deposits to Bangkok Bank are being made through other Thai bank accounts.

The issue is that since about the 6th this has not been happening and all transfers seem to be immediate regardless of what reason is used.

Yes that was my meaning - the account is used so much at start of month no funds available.

And that may be the issue - but would be nice if they can confirm. That so many Thailand residents have moved accounts to Bangkok Bank to avail themselves of the FTT passbook entry that they ran out of money in that account could be the reason. It seems those of us who transferred early in the month did get normal path.

You first should get the PDF download from Wise - that will show path and in many cases will be all that immigration requires. A further insurance would be credit advice from the bank making payment into your Bangkok Bank account (which will be listed on PDF).

It is listed in your passbook as "transfer from other account".

You can apply up to expiration date - no need to do 30 days early - you are legal during the 30 day under consideration process. As for what is needed it varies a bit by office but seems to be for marriage so wife and her details, photos together in home with house number shown, marriage certificate and current paperwork from District Office to prove still valid will surely be required.
