Will instruct the misso no funeral and just toss my ashes on the side of the road on the way home.
You can tell her what you want 1 million times, but she will do just whatever she and her family want!. Worry later about how she is going to repay the loans she took to pay for it all.

Families generally splash out more for a farang funeral than for a Thai funeral, despite, in most cases, the deceased farang wanting nothing more that a simple cremation.
What I have always failed to understand is why is there the necessity to feed the local villagers morning noon and night for the days leading up to the funeral and the day after. Yes, maybe they drop 100bt in an envelope, but in most cases it does not cover the cost of the unnecessary food, which the majority collect in bags and take away 3 times a day.
If only I could find a way to prevent all this nonsense when my time comes.

The Senate could just block the original coalition with a PT PM again. Perhaps Bhumjaithai and Move Forward should both be in the coalition even if that is a bit awkward as then no Senate votes are needed. Give Anutin some important ministries. Then implement some structural reforms, add pro-democracy Senators.
Anutin has specifically said he will not join a Move Forward coalition that wants to amend the lese majeste laws................But but..........................

DWP or Post Question.........
After having my pension stopped, never received the Life Certificate so say sent in Jan 2023, returned the one sent by email on the 19th June by recorded delivery... So could track it... Long list until it arrived at Heathrow Royal Mail Sorting Office on 24th, as of today still says arrived at Heathrow 24th June..
Should I be worried ? expected it to be delivered in Wolverhampton by this time ? or is it only tracked as far as to UK ??
My Thai registered post to the UK, never gets recorded beyond the airline office at Suvarnabhumi. As for EMS its a pricey scam and takes ages. I receive many EMS letters from Bangkok and they always take 3/4 days to arrive in Isaan (late PM at that!)

or elsewhere other than the UK (not issued to addressees inside the UK - not needed as UK Death Cert is automatically reported to UK agencies)
Aah! But is it? I am far from convinced that the British Embassy, who are made aware of a death, do pass on the info to the DWP. Many a widow I have assisted out here in Isaan has some 6 months down the line had a request for pension repayment!

I used to take Omeprazole daily (and it seemed to work) but my heart specialist said no more and put me on Prevacid. Expensive, but half a tablet every 3 days works well

Perhaps the senators should read and re-read todays news regarding France. A renegade policeman kills a kid, and seemingly the whole country erupts violently for 4 nights to date. What if Pita is denied the premiership. Will the Thai people demonstrate in the same way as the French? Only the Senators to blame!

If you entered the country visa exempt on your old passport on this current trip (i.e. in the last 30 days), and it has not been physically invalidated by the issuing authority either cutting off of the edge+void stamped, then technically immi will likely give you an extension, and you should be able to exit on it provided you adhere to the additional 30 day limit.
When airport immi scans a passport, the machine checks only if it is an authentic passport (not a counterfeit) as well as cross checks with the info on their entry/exit database as well as specific wanted/banned lists, and not if it has been invalidated/voided which is left to the actual human operator's physical inspection of the document. It is a slightly different (technical) matter when a country revokes/cancels the passport of one of its citizens due to a criminal matter etc.
Having said that, why/how the hell did the issuing authority (assume embassy or consulate here) not invalidate/void it? It's one of the most basic jobs of a consular official that I would think would never be overlooked in the issuance process for a new one. The only exception would be a lost pp. In this case your old one will come up on the system at the point of entry of your home country if you try to get in using it (obviously it's better just switch to the new one upon arrival, otherwise it might end up being a 15 minute holdup until they're cleared you and confiscated the expired one).
Essentially, you currently have 2 valid passports until one expires in a few months. And unless you report the 2nd (new) pp to Thai immi, as far as they are concerned you are officially and legally on the old one.
Actually not an entirely rare situation, many folks have two pps for various reasons. You just happen to have yours by accident/mistake on the part of your embassy/consulate. Not your problem/responsibility.
VFS, on behalf of the British Passport Office require the old passport to be brought in to enable the new one to be released and the old one cancelled.
However, accidents do happen, and in 2 cases I am aware of, the new passport was delivered direct to the client by DHL courier instead of VFS, so the client still had his old and new passports.

I think you will find that SCB consider it a forward step.
(you must smile when you see yourself described as a ‘newbie’)
I'm sure the idiots do. No concern for the older generation who have difficulty using their phones for anything other than phone calls......................and what about the millions who do not have a smart phone and hence no app. Perhaps a few more will join me and withdraw most of their money or close their accounts in protest????

It was back last night and I was able to see the half yearly interest that had been added.
What a backward step to insist on an app only! I have withdrawn all but a few token baht just to keep the account open, and made my views known to SCB

SCB have been offline all day so far. No account balances showing,. no transfers possible, no news on their website and no answers to email enquiry

On the subject of tax deducted on interest payments (current now), how does one go about obtaining a refund? I noticed that for similar amounts deposited in Kasikorn and Bangkok banks during the past 6 months I received nearly twice as much interest from Bangkok Bank
