This was a terrible accident and the motorbike rider is culpable for multiple offenses it seems. But watching the video the poor woman surely should have looked more carefully before crossing? The state of Bangkok's pedestrian crossings means many are death traps.

What was you case scenario? Every visit I have made involved waiting for passport to be returned to me, so there was no need to exit the building?

Pretty sure the IO needs a new TM30 if you come in on a new visa? In your case the IO let the issue go this time though? Maybe next time?

Great stuff thanks. Have not seen that before.

I found a phone number ending --- 7999 for them on Google and the English speaking receptionist said THG does not arrange transfers or refunds, the owners of the deposit like me must find someone themselves and transfer privately! Alternatively I could pay the outstanding fee of 450THB per jab before the end of February to arrange a single jab anytime before the end of May. I may go for this option.

THG Moderna transfer? Anyone make a deposit for Moderna last year on their LINE account? How does one effect a transfer if you no longer need the vaccine? We cannot seem to find the option on the LINE app?? It’s all in Thai though so maybe missed it? So what is the procedure? Thanks

Is this satire? Where does it say the grandson deliberately killed his gran? It doesn't even say he knew he had Covid on his return from Phuket? The news just states matter of fact how the grandmother likely caught the virus.

Methinks the term 'executive' a bit of a misnomer.

I didn't read anywhere in the article of people getting blamed for anything.

Surely Paveena has her wires crossed on this one? The mother left her child with the rapist step grandfather who just happened to be a security guard? He could have had any job but would still have been a child rapist in the family.

It appears after a phone call chat to NatWest there is an alternative account type that will continue to have no fees for international users so I will go with that for now using Thailand as my mail address. I have only a small deposit so fees made no sense to me. I sometimes find it useful having a traditional bank as their statements can be used as proof of my address.

Not sure why this is in the business forum and not the jokes section? But to your ludicrous point, if you bought BTC at its ATH you'd be down 40% in less than 3 months. It has no intrinsic value, and is just based on the hope someone will pay more for it that you did. That's not rocket science either.

It depends on the juristic office rules? In our condo there is absolutely no renovation noise allowed outside hours of 10am-4pm on a weekday and non on weekends. That was when people didn't work from home, might have changed since. I was working from home and the neighbor was renovating drilling and vibrating the walls so much items fell off my shelves. Our walls are not thin, I cannot hear the neighbors otherwise. You're meter won't be of any use in such cases. It's bloody obvious when you will p off the neighbors.

Correct, money in bank method at CW. I do the bank statements because when I previously sat down to do my extension, armed with just a bank letter and copy of bank book, the immigration officer told me to go and get a statement. I wasn't exactly going to say to her that DrJack54 has been telling us since forever they aren't required?

My NatWest bank in the Channel Islands, under new policy, is about to start monthly charges since my account is classed as International and using my Thailand mailing address. Until now it was always free. I am looking for alternatives with no fees. Is Wise a good idea? What would be the drawbacks of using Wise Account vs traditional bank account?

How does this help the op when you @DrJack54 keep banging on and on about not needing statements for retirement extensions over many threads? I do my extensions at CW, just like you, and statements are required, we aren't all the same. I tried the KBank PDF statements, they were available for 12 months using the phone app before when the web site only offered six months history before the update mentioned by op. However the PDF prints by me were not acceptable as the bank has to do them for you and sign them as true. I showed my PDF's to the bank and they rejected them saying the process costs 200THB, must be done by a teller, and it's that or nothing.

Wise advice based on your comprehensive medical background I'm sure. But I would say in Thailand you get what you are offered, as they aren't exactly rolling them all off the production lines here themselves to pick and choose.

Currently I am getting LINE messages from a Thai Hospital in a chat forum all in Thai language and all in a large images. Like a screen capture of a Word doc saved to jpg before sending that has nothing but lines of text in it. I've seen this on web sites as well. Now I have to do an OCR on it and try and extract the text data to a translate app.

Why? My guess would be because you cannot find an ATM and have no cash?

Just curious why do so many Thai web sites and Line Accounts use graphics for text? Why don't they just use text (in this case in Thai) like the rest of the world? At least then the browser translators would work!

I have a Wise account in GBP and USD. The web site says 'We’re sorry, cards haven’t reached Thailand yet' and has been like that for years.

That's because opinions are only true by those that hold them and how does it help matters? How about more statements on getting the teacher home in her unfortunate situation. She seems like she needs help.

If true isn't this a pertinent fact that seems to have evaded the o/p?

It's got nothing to do with 'rubbish immigration offices' that you mentioned. It all depends on how the bank accounts are used. If the account bank book has many consolidations, as did mine in the past, a full itemized 12 months statement is needed. Each person is different and not the same as @DrJack54. In fact my next visit will be different to my previous and I will not provide a 12 month statement as I have now since opened an account solely for immigration with no significant withdrawals or deposits all year long that will be each itemized in the bank book alone.

Yes. It is all explained in posts prior to yours.
