First check how many points you can obtain based on your current situation and how many more points you could 'easily' obtain if needed. Consider the timescale for each in conjunction with comments that you will see on another thread.

Departed a weeks ago and was informed that I needed a stamp in PP and White Book - this was after using Fast Track Immigration. Different response to previous times.

ALL OF THIS I KNOW AS A LONG TIME PR AND OWNER OF MORE THAN ONE PROPERTY. JUST GAVE A MORE SIMPLE ANSWER.

Blue book is for Thai Nationals. If a Thai National lives at this condo and blue book is in this person's name then with agreement he can be included in the book.

Most recent flight on this seat, aircraft leased from Hainan Airlines. In the last 2 years alone I have travelled on more than 50 flights in TG BC and on less than 5% of the flights has the seat not reclined much. On all other flights seat was excellent, as was service but then I am not a demanding passenger. I also travel on other airlines such as ANA, Emirates and Qatar so can compare.

Refer to above. '.....but I have never tried since they came into operation a few months ago, as I never travel Economy, don't want to queue and have 2 passports. Pre COVID I used the auto-gates all the time for several years.'

On 2 occasions after using TG Fast Track I walked to the main Immigration Counter after departure Immigration directly opposite the auto-gates and asked an Immigration Officer. Both Officers stated that PR holders can use auto-gates, but as I stated I have not done so to confirm.

PR holders can use the auto-gates (3 or 4 lanes) on departure, but I have never tried since they came into operation a few months ago, as I never travel Economy, don't want to queue and have 2 passports. Pre COVID I used the auto-gates all the time for several years.

As per my experience. Another time the Non-Quota Immigrant Visa was stamped in a new replacement for my 2nd passport, whereas the existing visa was in 1st passport which I planned to replace (this was done at CW Immigration without any questions).

I have a 430i and use V Power 95.

I have Permanent Residence and after using TG fast track I went to Immigration at D and was informed that I can use the auto channel on exit.

If you know which restaurant to go to in a city/town then 'real' Thai food is not difficult to find either alone or with Thai family or friends. This year I have been to old favourites including in Amman and Shinjuku, Tokyo. For the former I usually contact the owner to ask what she can make which is not in the menu in advance of going in the evening.

Everyone has different expectations, frequency of travel, preference for non-stop, etc. I stongly prefer non-stop and have sat in the Al Safwa Lounge in Doha and the Emirates FC Lounge in Dubai more times than I can remember in the last 15 years approx travelling from Bangkok to the Middle East and Africa mainly on Emirates and QA. The novelty factor of the 2 lounges wore off a long time ago. 95% of the time I travel on Thai Airways as I can travel direct. I am a Platinum member of the airline, always travelling in Business or First Class, but unlike others I don't care about (and don't eat) food on the plane unless travelling to and from Japan and don't drink alcohol. Recently I travelled again on Qatar Airways, 3:00 am departure from Bangkok, endless bus journeys from the arrival flight and to the departure flight in Doha, so 2.5 hours in Al Safwa became 1.5 hours. Whether one sits on the Business Class or First Class bus in Doha the inconvenience is still there. Contrast with 2 R/Ts to Europe, 2 to Tokyo and numerous round trips to South Asia in the last 3 months.............all direct. Personally I prefer the service of the cabin crew on Thai Airways to the airlines mentioned above, whose staff can often be OTT and never leave one alone.

1 hour is sufficient unless there is a queue.

Confused. Currently I have limits which include 500,000 baht to other SCB Account and 2,000,000 baht for bill payment. I can change the limits easily and quickly on SCB App and from memory most recent max transfer using APP has been about 400,000 baht. Am I missing something?
