Signed a few digital papers on an iPad, but the passbook account number is the same as the old (bank account number ) some other numbers changed tho, I don't know what they mean, some numbers that are above and below your passbook. One thing can be noticed is only the date of issue of passbook which is a new one compared to old. But you might be right regarding the signature under UV light.

What exactly is a Thai pink ID card?
bkkniko replied to Equatorial's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Been trying to do yellow book and pink id for 3 years ( married to thai ) gave all documents, said we will call you when your queue is up. I been calling them once every month and so asking if there is an update, they always replied the same, we will call you back. Never called me. I actually just stopped trying anymore. I guess in some areas its super easy to get and some are not. -
I am planning to drive from CM to Buriram by car with 1 one-night stop at Phitsanulok. Do you have any idea if driving around 7 April will be fine in terms of Songkran traffic? When it usually begins and ends. I plan to go on 6-7th April and come back 20th April. I don't want to get caught in traffic madness before or after Songkran. Does anyone know if the dates for my trip are fine?

MAJOR UPDATE: Apparently, it was a deposit returned for a car purchase a while ago. They did not even say that they sent the deposit.. My wife randomly messaged someone from the dealership and asked if they made the transfer. I suspected it could be it, but the transfer should have come from their company account, anyways it came from a personal account.

As title says, I received 10k baht from an unknown person. Should I contact the bank or just wait it out and wait them to contact me, it's small amount compared to balance I have in bank, if I did not check random activity I would not even notice this transfer. What happens if I just wait it out, I really don't have time walking around to branch or making calls and resolving this issue which is not even my fault..

You might be right. I am just speaking from an experience on the farms that I have been to. (South) Just don't understand why Thais would tolerate such treatment from the employer, including passport withholding. And obviously, such employers who treat foreign workers that way should be jailed and their land/farm taken. Hopefully, the Israeli government will take more action.

Read about the Thailand-Israel Employment Cooperation (TIC). They are treated very well, and some make even more money than the local Israelis who work at factories for minimum wage. Thai farmers agree by themself to work OT, no one is forcing them. I am also speaking from an experience as someone who lived in Israel with my Thai wife; we visited some places where they work because in some places where they work, there are also Thai stores nearby, and my wife used to buy Thai products there. I spoke with a random Thai farmer regarding his salary, and he said it is around 80k-120k baht a month. They also get discounts from the Thai stores over there. As for healthcare, there is healthcare that employer provides access to, it's required by law.

How long does it takes the whole coating procedure? I need only the hood, all car is already coated but I replaced the hood due to accident, now its brand new but no coating yet. Can I take car after coating the same day they apply it, considering I live 5 minutes from the coating place?

vehicle registration and white plate
bkkniko replied to bkkniko's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
it's weird, so why did the dealer ask for the original passport? It was not some random dealer it was an authorized BMW.. -
Yellow House Book and Pink Card
bkkniko replied to Hocus Pocus's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Such a pain in ass this whole procedure, I am married and submitted all the documents you stated above, they accepted them and told me there is a queue so you might need to wait 2-3 months. I am waiting 8 months already, nothing from them. Called them once, they said they will call me back within a hour, no one called.. Sorry for my useless comment, just saying for me it is a real pain in ass obtaining these documents. -
Hi So, long story short, I purchased a new car from an authorized dealer, and they asked me to leave the passport with them for 1-2 days once the time comes to receive the white plate. I assume they plan to go with my passport to DLT and register the vehicle. However, I did not like the idea of leaving my passport out of my sight, so I told the dealer that I would meet them at DLT and we would do it together so I could see the passport,etc. They agreed. My question is: Once we get into DLT for vehicle registration, does DLT also keep the passport for days? or it's just a normal procedure to see the original passport? Meaning, I would receive the passport same day or like within hours or hour I don't know how long this procedure takes, so if anyone had experience please let me know. Thank you
