Having worked for and still working for ADB and WB as an Individual Consultant in Thailand, Vietnam and other countries, attended many meetings with JICA in Thailand and regional countries, engaged PricewaterhouseCoopers and worked with others in the big four, there are far more attractive, classy, elegant and smart eligible females in Thailand and other regional countries than there are eligible men in the eyes of these women. Why are there so many single, never married women who do not have children in Thailand?

Only once! You could train other gullible wallies who cannot think further than their head.

Go to the office in the area that you live in. Your requirements seem to be simple and both offices that you mention and others in Bangkok should provide the service that you want.

Actually there are monitors that show the waiting times in each Immigration areas areas for non-Thai Nationals, as well as in Fast Track. I use the lanes for Thai Nationals so don't bother looking closely at waiting times, but in several early morning (06:00 to 06:30) arrivals in recent weeks noticed max time of 5 minutes.

More uproom in what timeframe?

To the OP. It would seem that you do not have a basic understanding of Thai culture and office 'life'. I have been MD of 4 companies in Thailand since the mid 1990s, although not continuously, as well as working in the offices of many Thai companies. From my experience it is normal to give donations when asked, buy a small gift for a birthday or share with others, just as it is normal to be invited to or go for lunch with Thai colleagues. This is life in Thailand and if you act like you are you will be alienated, which means that if the staff you refer to are working for you their output may not be what you expect. Have a look at the body language of your colleagues. It is not much different albeit sometimes in different ways in neighbouring Cambodia and Vietnam. Open your eyes.

Correct about Thai Nationals. Several years ago when I first registered I had to complete a form, which had to be witnessed by a Thai National. I gave the form to Immigration after passing through Departures Immigration and then they did the rest - fingerprints, photo, etc. I cannot find the soft copy of the form - if anyone has it please share.

There are many excellent, professional and responsible tradesmen in Bangkok, who take pride in their work and and charge reasonable rates. I have used the same people for different work for more than 10 years - 2 for AC, 1 for plumbing and 1 for electrical works. 1 was a friend of my wife's and 3 'suggested' by the management of where we live. Occasionally of someone is for example installing a washing machine and we need some urgent work we may ask if the person doing the installation can do some work when convenient and response is positive. In my experience good skilled tradesmen are in demand and not so interested in doing small jobs unless you know the person. Home Pro option may be good for people who don't have easy access to tradesmen.

Are you a private detective specializing in BGs?

Your statement is incorrect. I have seen a BBL document regarding what I stated. It may be that some branch managers are not aware and that maybe because they are dealing with problematic farangs on a day to day basis. If in doubt call the Call Centre. If you want inconvenience and hassle go your own way.

Any Branch of BBL is correct. Policy was changed some time ago. One of my friends is a Branch Manager in BKK and she confirmed it.

If you have the BB App go to withdraw ATM on the homepage. If you need some help refer to BB website and if that is not understandable go to a branch of BB. if you really speak to staff with rudimentary English which is questionable ask to speak to Head Office. At a small fee one of my friends is a manager of a branch of BB - she may help you in what is a simple task.

Yes I am aware - only mentioned a basic item for the uninitiated. I don't use my PP for anything apart from for international travel.

When you obtain a new PP you have to inform Bank for one. No need with ID card.

Red is possible in your case.

Totally ignorant comment. I did not need any witnesses as Scorecards experience and in any case staff in the office would witness. Not an issue.

I have top tier status on Thai, Qatar and Emirates, so I can sit in the First Class Lounge in Doha or Dubai and not enjoy a few hours in transit when I want to rest or sleep, so Thai Airways direct to and from London is my choice even if it costs 20% more (Eva Air also OK). Service on Thai is better including in terms of knowing when to serve you or ask, compared to Qatar Airways for example whose staff disturb passengers when the do not disturb sign is on the Q Suite. I don't care about the food and drink. After several thousand flights and about 2,000 on Thai Airways privacy, direct flights, comfortable bed/seat, arrival time, etc are important to me.

Thanks ubonjoe. Successfully done without me even asking. The IO asked me if I wanted to transfer to my new 2nd passport to which I said yes. Embassy letter not required. All done in 30 minutes and as always exemplary and professional service from the ladies at Counters E1 and E2.

I have 2 British Passports; one which has my recently expired Non-Quota Immigrant Visa in will expire in about a year and the other I obtained in November 2020 applying at VFS in Bangkok. I plan to travel overseas from Bangkok frequently in the next few months. In this period it is not possible to renew my British Passport which I use for my Non-Quota Immigrant Visa for obvious reasons including long waiting time. Also, it may be difficult to obtain a supporting letter to renew this passport. Has anyone got any positive experience of transferring 'Thai' visa from 1st to 2nd passport in Bangkok Immigration? If so did Immigration accept the standard letter on British Embassy Bangkok letterhead with a dated date, i.e. in my case the Serial number on the letter is dated November 2020?

Some people would say best place, but depends if a person partakes.

Must be one of the most boring presenters ever. Hope TAT don't discover him.

Worth every baht.
