I tried Bangkok Hospital 2 weeks ago they had just run out of Pfizer. Check on the 4th May and they sign my wife and me up Moderna new version we get ours 18 May. They told me free because it's the Thai Government supply, but I still think they will have their normal service fees which 500 THB per person.

I did mine on line for the last two + years, before that I mailed it in to CW, now my last report sent 25 April approved 28 April 4 days. Before it average 2 days.

OP Kidneyw what IMO "CW" I hope

We first installed 3 AC one each for the 3 BR's we were going to be using on the 2nd Fl. All walls are red brick. The the split pack fan unit was mounted about 3" from the ceiling and compressor mounted to cement cross beam that supports the 2nd Fl. . Over the years we have replace 2 of the old AC and added 6 more new units 2 upstairs 4th Br and PC Rm and the rest on the first Fl. living RM, dining RM, TV Rm and in one kitchen. We extended 2 Br's using AAC block and AC Fan units mounted to those new walls, compressor's all mounted to old cross beams, . No problems with any units or walls. Still have one AC from the first three 32 years old and still runs but noesy will be replacing that one when we need that Br.

I have a question about the on line 90 day reporting. I have seen people mention on line auto fill for the TM 47 on line how dose that work. I do on line reporting I log in and the program brings me to the sign in page with my user name and pass word already filled in I click sign in and that brings me to a Blank TM 47 which I fill in and sumit, receive a reply excepit and with in a few days receive approve exciton. But no auto fill. How do i due that?

As some OP’s have said the utility bills electric, phone land line type, TV cable, water all need to been in the name of the owner of the house (if not rented with a contract). But strange things do happen here. All of the utility bills are in my wife’s name only, with the exception of the water bill, has always cams in my name only and has for the last 32 years. Why I do not know. We have the house build on her land that was purchased 5 years before we came to Thailand. It was ready in less than two weeks after we arrived. Telephone was in her sister’s name as back then there was a waiting list for phone service. Electric and TV cable wife’s name but the water in my name and still is, just for info.

I moved to Thailand 31 years ago and moved into moved new house we had build which was just finished. Must have fill out some paper work back then for my staying here? I was retired at age of 49, visa type non - O married to Thai. Never did a 90 reporting and any new TM 30 form for 27 years, did change to retirement at age 55 when IMO told me that she could give me 1 year exhaustion that day if I used retirement instead of married. Four years ago the same lady that I see all these years ( now retired ) ask me for TM-30 and also 90 day report receipt. this was the first time, needed go to different desks get forms filed out and bought her the copies, which is still in my Passport. Then for two years did 90 report by mail then change to on line. Don't know what happen four years ago.

Most of the answers were about being in country and exchanging bills such as USA Dollars.. What sending money to your bank account Mind is Kasikornbank from US Credit Union using swift and I believe it goes though Wells Fargo bank to Kasikornbank?

How things have changed in the past 36 years. I open a Bangkok Bank account at the HQ 1986 with out bring in the country. Then over the next 5 years transferred funds to the saving account to build our house. We already had the land which my wife purchase with cash a year before. The new house ( which we paid cash for) was ready for us 1 week after we arrive in Bangkok, been in the same house all these years, made to Western Standers.

I have been using Bangkok IO for 31 years first the office was off Rama 4 then to CW. Had new house build finished 7 day after I arrived, lived there every since. Seams that each year there is something different, new form which is not on Line, sign the papers , don't sign the until in front of them. Copy of wife's Home Registration, next year don't need this don't this now fill out new form ECT:

My IO is CW, since the no letter policy from USA Embassy started I open a FIX Account ( not easy I may said ) my name only. Never had touch. Every year go to local bank 2 days before going to CW, get letter and up book. Go CW do update down stairs get copy from bank, IO never have any questions. I how 843,386.20 Baht balance in the book.

I will be in the same case as above I'm going on short vacation with wife, and daughter and son-in-law visiting from USA. we will be in Hua Hin, 21 - 24 Nov day 15 for day report start on 22 Nov 22 last day is 6 Dec 2022. As I understand you do on-line reporting from any where's at less in the country. been doing on line reporting for more then a year now works fine for me. If I can not due on line report on line I will just mail it by ESM fro post office in Hua Hin.

If in Bangkok you can go 45 days before exp date for O retirement extension of stay , another IMO then there rules.

I have a like problem, my wife turn 65 and 2 months before she did we register her though Manila. The problem was she could not receive SS payments because had only lived in the USA 3 1/2 years before I retired from the USAF overseas in England. I came directly to Bangkok spend 90 on leave a here and retired here. I work with SS in Manila and was able to set up a automatic withdrawal from my Credit Union to pay for her Medicare part B, SS pull's the funds from our account, we do nothing worked the last 14 years, which is required in order to be covered by Tricare overseas medical insurance plan overseas. Found it unfair that her time being overseas with me on government orders did not count for the 5 years need living in the USA before covered by Medicare part B.

Being we are on the subject of Thai Banks and issue of receiving replacement bank pass books and ATM cards. I have question. Has anyone at any Bank in Thailand had a problem of getting issued a Debit Card for a Joint Savings account? I have had a Joint savings account at Krungthai Bank for 26 years with a ATM card in my name, my name is listed first in the book and word "OR" and my wife's listed second. The other day I could not use my ATM card to add money to top up my Dtac sim card. I went to different branch of bank the account, and told them the card did not work. I gave them my card which Exp 12/24 and asked to fix the problem they asked for my Pass book Which showed that it was a joint account and they told me NO Joint savings account can be issue a ATM card, yet I have had a ATM card for the last 26 years and they had just charged me in 18 Dec 2021 200 baht for the yearly ATM card fee? I did go to the issuing branch bank and was told the same thing, this after I had called the HQ and asked them and they said I could get a replacement card for ATM PromptCard. I told my branch this they call then called the HQ and got told by a different person No, I talked the person explained everything to her and she said shed check it out after listing to the tape recording of my first call to the HQ and call me back, she did return the call and stills said No the other lady was wrong in what she told me. I check the On-Lime Info for being issued ATM PromptCard. For the other ATM card Pearl ect: it stated no ATM for joint accounts, but for the ATM PromptCard nothing said Only requirements were age 15, deposit in 500 Baht, copy of ID and a current saving account. I'm in long talks with the HQ how. They are getting with legal department on this issue. I'll let you known the out come. By the way I have ATM cards with joint saving account with Kasikornbank two year old account and Bangkok Bank 31 year account.

So No one knows of any store that sells A/C with heat pumps.

I have been looking for Will Template ( just fill in the areas needed ) So far can't find any. Do not own anything House, Cond, or Car in Thailand , but my 800,000 THB at Bangkok Bank use for immigration. have three other bank account all joint, two have my name first and wife second the other wife first. Own nothing in the USA but one joint Bank account. I still would like to have a Thai will requester at the Local Amphora office. Everything going to the wife. We are both 79 years old and married 41 years, have one daughter both Thai and USA citizen, she lives in the USA. Anyone know of a down load site or app?

Here's one that I bet no one has come up against yet. I open a account with Krungthai Bank some 26 years ago just a savings account and a ATM debit Card. Reason being it was just up street from my home and one block from work US Embassy, which before pain me in cash THB but changed to direct deposit, reason for the account. Last week I tried to top-up my cell phone and the card did not work, had not use it for some time. Went to the bank and was told being it was a Joint account, NO debit ATM card could be issued, had to be in my name only? Went home call the HG ATM department and ask about joint savings accounts, was told Joint account for a Pearl debit card cand and some other accounts debit cards cannot be issued due to personal insurance coverage. My debit card was not that kind of account just an plain savings account with Classic debit card. Bank web page said this about getting the classic card was ( shown below ), the women told me I could get a replacement, and go back to the issuing bank and get a replacement card, which may add I had my account debit Jan 2022 for annual fee of 200 THB. When back to the bank. They called the same office got a different person and was told NO debit card for ANY joint accounts. I got the name of the person at the HQ and told her I would be calling back. Went home check the online requirements and then called her told her the date and time and the phone number I called from the day before, she said that she would listen to the tape recording of the call and get back to me. One hour later she called me back and said that she listen to conversation that I had the day before, what I was telling was truth about the call, but the lady told me was wrong, NO debit cards for any Joint accounts. I ask about web page and she told me the English version was wrong and the Thai version said no joint accounts were issued debit card any more. Closed 4 of my wifes accounts at the bank, left open one account because she receives direct monthly deposits. Next transferred the money to our Kasikornbank, joint accounts and debit card. Qualification 15 years old and above Minimum required deposit at 500 Baht for saving account or 10,000 Baht for current account No minimum income requirement Document of application Copy of valid National identification smart card or official identification card Book bank of saving account or account number of current account

I have lived in Bangkok for the last 31 years. Build our house and paid cash for it, which was move in ready 2 wks after we arrive. I am America but had lived in Centeral England for 6+ years before retiring here, did not even go back to the US for 3 years after we got here. I have a very good pention and can live either here or the US with the same live style. Only downside is the Woke/Pc idiots now in my home city Seattle, will never live there again. I find the cost of food here higher for many items I like to eat. The cost of untiltes are about the same here as in the US but car prices are real high here. My reason for staying in Thailand is the medical care and its cost here, have a very good insurance so the cost at Bangkok Hospital is very little for us and no waiting to see a doctor. Everyone has their reasons were to live.

My USA credit card was used to purchase a Fan in the USA FL, then a PC program in NY and again some kind of hardware in CA all the same day 2 Aug. I before I never use the Credit card for anything in Thailand its kept in the safe. But on the 1st of Aug I needed to top up my sim card for the phone, so used the card with Large D Thai Phone companies web page, to try to top up sim card but it failed in processing so, gave up and planned on going to the mall next day and top up with PH store there. On the 2nd received fraud msg of a fraud use on my card. Had to call them in the US and they list all the purchase, I told them I''m in Thailand I have the card. They cancelled all the purchase, but also cancel the card and are issuing as new one. I called PH company and told them some one at their company had got the info and sold it . Do not think they will do anything about it but I learn a lesson, Never Use my USA Credit cards in Thailand

My expince with cashless only. Was at the local Samitivej Bangkok Hospital. Went into a Sartbuck outlet did not the small sign (no cash) we ordered our drinks and food. Them perpaired them I the ask how much ( around 600 Baht) went to pay in cash they said NO Cash, I did not have any local bank card, they said only cards. Itold them sorry do have and walk out. When right across the walk way to anotrher shop asked if they take cash they did , got our drinks and food, paid and left. I avoid cashless establishments (my choice)!

I seen Lengelbert Humperdinck live at DM AFB NCO club in Tucson AZ back around 1969. His plane had some problems and could not leave until the next day. He called the NCO Club and asked if they would like him to come over and sing that night, of cource they said yes. It was one of the Best nights I had at that club, front row table right next to the dance floor, never had so much fun as that night. And for free no cover charge, he did it for the troops!

If you would like hot water in the kitchen you may also what it in other areas of the house. 14 years ago I had a properly installed solar powered hotwater system for our house 4 bedroom with 3 bath rooms, kitchen inside and also out side, wash machine. Had single water heaters befor only in the bathrooms. It by far is the best thing I ever done to upgrade the large 225 sq meters house. A little costly but had gone so much use out it and up the elecite bill alot. Have not had any maintence done on since install.
