800K topped up late ( options please )
yeahbutif replied to blue angel's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
The way I see this is only a money problem.. go to agent and get them to renew your visa extension before it runs you should not have to do a whole new visa again. As you are have a current one running.. the cost in pattaya for this is around 12,500b to 15,000b -

Time to pay those traffic fines ... stop trashing them
yeahbutif replied to KhunLA's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
This system seems like a good Idea.. except when people get a fine .they not tax the car or bike.. no tax means no insurance. And when they sell the car or bike the new owners tries to do the right then and taxes it and he has to pay the fines and back taxes... So the person trying to do the right way gets penelizied..... So really its making the roads more unsafe with none tested cars and bikes on the road. -
Jomtien Immigration improved backwards
yeahbutif replied to Kinok Farang's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
It should be done on line easy. But we all know you have to keep up with the changes. The immigration web worked fine for me for years then they changed god knows why. And luckily I found another site and now so far it works but only on my laptop. It would work on a my phone by app.. seems you just have to keep up with them somehow.. tit -
What has happened to the long time girlfriend experience?
yeahbutif replied to thesetat's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
It seems the problem is money. .and the chicken and egg saying what comes first.. the girls seem to be concerned that they won't get paid if the man wants them to stay long time like a girlfriend. And the men won't part with there money before hand as they think girl runs off . Short time easy either money up front of just after less risk of losing days money.. -
Car accident, who should pay the excess?
yeahbutif replied to sanook 1's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
What about the compulsory insurance... Thats a police mater surly..... And how do people get compulsory insurance? Via so call6 test.. so if car or bike not got a plates lights don't work. How do they get insurance? They don't so look out. You have to pay for there fault... -
All the answers to the subject are very true... But the the big question is WHY? The traffic dangers could easily be trimmed if the so called police did the job.. only thing I can't seem to understand is WHY.this won't happen.... It's so easy a blind man can see the fix,s.. but the powers to be can't or won't.... Again WHY? No number plate means an eligal driver so easy to deal with stop and fine . No front or rear lights. Stop and fine. Rusted heap car or bike scrap it.... People keep saying no money thats why they don't stop and fine them.. but easy just confirskate the bike or car and sell it .. but this is Thailand.so we have to except that nothing will change as people don't have any consideration for each other.. it's all me me me. And other just follow suit. Example he going the wrong way on a road so he can do I can too.. and not one to tell me it's dangerous.. especially at night.. rant over it's a new year New rules. But what is a rule without inforcement?

Police to get tough on drunk drivers over New Year
yeahbutif replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Simple way to cut accidents just get the people off the road who should not be on it the first place. That should cut the traffic by 50 % . -
Car accident, who should pay the excess?
yeahbutif replied to sanook 1's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
I would say it pretty obvious who has insurance and who does not.. it seems so simple for the police to stamp this out .. but they won't... So all we can do is make sure we are covered. -
Think you even need a new one to go to the toilet. Well thats what it seems like...

High electric bill
yeahbutif replied to DonniePeverley's topic in Real Estate, Housing, House and Land Ownership
Just take a reading of the meter then use electric as normal check reading next day.. average is 4 to 5 bhat per unit used... in fact in house house the bhat rate per unit has gone down by half a baht per unit must be government subsidised. -
Al I can say is .I had account with my bank account linked to it. So didn't make a new one just updated the old one with a Thai my COVID id number. On the covid cirtificate it has id. When I had covid injections to reg on Thai chana it had to be a thai I'd number. So I went to control in Pattaya covid office at the time and they gave me that number .that issuem is just a number linked to my passport.

Opening bank account
yeahbutif replied to Dave0206's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Not sure what visa you have to be on to open an account. I have retirment visa .I did mine my self in bangkok bank last year and told them I don't want insurance. They said okay just they try to sell it to you.. think you have to sign something to say not want.. -
If you Try googling this you will get different answers. But there seems nothing is clear like most thinks on government sites. UK no different.. I was told but not in writing if you have a 2 year visa it says you can stay up to 6 months in any visit .not seen any where written where is says 6 months ina calender year.. so in theory I think you could stay in the UK for say 180 days come back to Thailand and go again. And stay another 180days. But it also seems the immigration on arrival can refuse this as it down to them.. this seems wrong as a 2 year or 5 year visa are way more expensive in prorate scale.. why I don't know..

yeahbutif replied to itsari's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
As someone has said already .. but my account I opened in Pattaya in kasikorn bank not problem transferred money from UK for visa... How ever when I came to get bank letter and had to up date bank book.i had to put money in the account to do this I gave her 1000 bhat she said it has to be in UK pounds. So lucky there was a currency exchange in the bank.. but had to do it my self.. and note had to do 3 times as she said the UK note they gave was not clean enough. What a joke as there bank just gave it to me... -
How much is a vote worth in tomorrows general election?
yeahbutif replied to In Full Agreement's topic in General Topics
Is bribing against the law as well as recieving a brib? Trouble is most Thais I meet don't seem to care about any sort of politics.. so I can see why they except a brib to vote.. money talks .. -
What can be done to make Thai Roads safer?
yeahbutif replied to Scott's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
I think most rules are in place for road safety. But implementing them is the big problem. As the I heard the policeman are told what to do on a daily time basic. And if not told to do they won't do..it don't seem like UK where we say a policeman is never off duty....so law dont care so the people don't care. -
