  1. No, 90-day reports are not acceptable. A traffic stop could well involve your being asked for your passport but not very likely if you show a Thai licence or a valid foreign one ...unless they're suspicious of you. In my experience, the insurance companies do not check how long you have been in Thailand/using a foreign licence when a claim is made as long as your home licence is valid. I made three substantial claims to Viriyah when I was using an old UK paper licence that I had been driving on for years here without any questions. All the claims were accepted and paid.
  2. Citibank operates as a branch of the US bank and is not a locally-incorporated entity. Citibank Thailand is a Thai-registered company, Thai-licenced by the Bank of Thailand, it is not "a branch" of Citibank NA. It is a member of Citigroup. Citibank has three retail branches in Bangkok, Interchange, Silom and The Crystal https://www.citibank.co.th/en/static/AboutUs.htm
  3. Anywhere in the West that isn't Liverpool? I'm guessing from your response that you are not from the US, the UK or Europe, then, all regions where the "rage" you referenced has been well documented.
  4. The title of this thread is completely false, the British Embassy's passport certification service has not been cancelled.
  5. How about providing the full story about your cancelled appointment before slagging off the Embassy? Providing a certified copy of a passport is not a service that has been cancelled. I have now had three confirmations that the service still exists, by email, through the Embassy's Facebook account and in person with the Consular section on the phone.
  6. That the Embassy requires the original passport in order to certify a copy of it is perfectly rational, it does not "make a mockery of HMPO's procedures in any way. Making an appointment with the Embassy for that service does not require the passport to be out of the applicants hands at all. If an applicant chooses to send the passport in by post for the same service that is their choice. I clicked on "Sad", not because I was saddened but because I felt that it was sad of you to post the "mockery" sentiment that was not justified in my opinion, it is no "big mystery".
  7. Citibank Thailand is an American bank. Citibank Thailand is a Thai bank. All retail banks with a Thai operating licence are Thai banks.
  8. There are none. Why is UOBT any more trustworthy in your eyes than all the other Thai banks?
  9. What? It’s an American company lol No, it is not, Citibank Thailand (the only Citibank in Thailand) is a Thai bank.
  10. No, not really, since issuing bad cheques in Thailand is a criminal offence and can result in a jail sentences. "If all Thais had checking accounts..." Shameful to suggest that all Thais are fraudsters.
  11. Her father is bed-ridden and she had taken a sleeping pill because she was ill. The photos show a house that doesn't appear to be the home of the "dirt poor".
  12. Does anyone not ask what the current rate is if it is not displayed? Doesn't make any sense.
  13. He isn't necessarily rich and hasn't been allowed to "walk away free"; he's charged with attempted murder among other things.
  14. Since when have you been the arbiter of what is a suitable contribution to the forum?
  15. Bail does not work that way...in any country...unless the defendant doesn't appear. You can't just make up laws to suit Thaivisa threads!
