  1. The bank shows but its partially masked, so I don't know the exact number, only 4 middle digits.
  2. 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..
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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?
  6. it's weird, so why did the dealer ask for the original passport? It was not some random dealer it was an authorized BMW..
  7. 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.
  8. in kasikorn you can do 5mil daily but 2mil per transaction, anyways you can do 2mil,2mil,1mil within minutes. So yeah, setting a daily limit is important.
  9. 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
  10. Actually wise to kasikorn transfers in seconds, like 5-10. Did that 2-3 days ago.
  11. Don't know about other places, but an appointment for an extension based on marriage is not needed ( it was canceled )
  12. Agent makes everything easy; I did the extension for the first time with an agent company. But I did not like the idea of giving them my passport for 1-2 days. Also, I asked if I could keep the passport and meet you at the immigration and give you the passport on the day of application, but they said you must give us the passport 2 days before application. I think its not like they need it 2 days to lay in their office, I think they just want to do all the applications of other clients as well, in bulk But sure, the whole process took around 15 minutes to get my stamp with an agent. I would do it again if they allowed me to keep my passport.. and give it at the day of application.
  13. Hi @DrPhibes, did you ask someone from officials there, or just because of that picture that specifies exactly what they provide? I am asking because somehow my agent was able to get me the under consideration stamp there, an extension based on marriage. Also, not planning to use agent this year so just wanna be sure, if IO near the airport is the only option. Thank you!
  14. Yeah, this time, I'll go to some branch that opens at 8:30 near airport IO and update there before extending the visa.
  15. Yeah, they are doing some extensions there, tourists for sure. There is also like a space named : Background check, when I first extended my visa via agent, he did get my stamp at centfest, 1 month under consideration. And than I got the 11 month at the IO near airport. I guess he could do it at centfest, maybe because of agent-immigration officer connections or smth.
  16. Hi CMBob, I guess you have been through that. Do they require bankbook update on the same day as application? in that case How can I do that if immigration opens at 8:30 - 9 am and banks open at 11 AM, also the UPD machine for kasikorn bank seems to be not working for my bankbook, so I have to update it manually via branch manager on their device or w/e its called. Asking that because I want to go to immigration as early as possible.
  17. can renewal be done at central festival chiang mai immigration? or must be done at the immigration close to airport? I did once with an agent, they got me under consideration stamp in central festival and told me to come for 1 year stamp at immigration close to airport once the under consideration date is due. Thank you
  18. Yes I need an appointment or yes I can just walk in the immigration. On their website there is no option to book an appointment for a marriage extention
  19. Is it required to make these booking? Can't I just go in and take a queue number, Chiang Mai immigration office.
  20. Hello, I am planning to extend my marry visa in Chiang Mai, central festival immigration office, do I need to book appointment or something? Or I Just walk in with the documents and do all on the spot?
  21. I asked completely different question tho It's about dealing with car showrooms, not the bank
  22. Why bank, its more like I should ask the dealership. I bought here a car with 100% cash as well, which as around 900k so it was under my daily limit transfer, bank does not care if you buy with cash or not, its about the dealership.
  23. Hi, Has anyone had experience with buying a car with cash and banknotes? For example, car price is : 2.5mil baht. I instant transfer 2mil baht to their account using my mobile app and add 500k baht in cash banknotes. I am asking this because I have a limit on my mobile banking app of 2 million per day and was wondering if I could just close the deal the same day by paying 2 mils by online bank transfer and +500k baht cash notes. I do know that I can just go to the bank and do a manual transfer by the bank manager or something like that; I will do that if the option above is not allowed.
  24. Thank you, so I guess there is no such thing as in the States, where prescription monitoring is active across all the hospitals/pharmacies and is recorded.
