Immigration don't want proof of his residence.

No the bank does.

I know Immigration don't want it, that's what I said!  His bank doesn't want it, either.

Apart from whatever other dodgy things he was involved in, how would they suggest he gets back to Aus anyhow.

International borders are , for the most part, closed.

No one's suggesting that he gets back to Australia, he does need a valid passport with a visa/extension to be here though, that's the issue.  And a genuine licence.

My bank sends me all manner of things every year ... I'm absolutely certain if I asked them to send me something or other, an application form for some insurance or similar, they'd send it without hesitation.

And his name and address would only be on the envelope that whatever was requested was sent in.

 That should be your proof on residence for immigration, but then again TIT so you never know.

One word, OP.

Immigration don't want proof of his residence.

If you're in contact with BB, you're lucky. I not only have a BB savings account, but I used to have a Bangluang on-line mobile account until they changed their format, so I couldn't sign in. I wrote them using their own form, their e-mail address and got no response. I'm unfortunately in the U.S., so I'm not returning until 2022. Who can I contact at the bank who will listen to me?

Call them, Head Office +662 645 5555, the English-speaking operator will listen to you.

I came on a crew who had cables running from a pole, hanging in the road and stretched into a house.  Nobody was around.
Had I had my older truck, I would have driven until the cable snagged and then floored the accelerator.

Why?

Yes, with Krung Sri.  However, with online banking I can change the address to whatever I like, so it's pointless as proof of where I live.

If Krungsri confirms your address that way (even though current Thai driving licences have your address in English on the back), which is what you want, it's hardly pointless, is it?

Presumably you have a bank account here, why not have your bank send you a letter to prove your address here?

Because that's not a service the banks offer.

Wrong.  Mine is only in Thai.

A thought...if trying to prove your address in Thailand, why is an address written in Thai not acceptable?

No, it's not wrong, I'm looking at my licence right now.

An ongoing problem for me is being able to prove my address in Thailand (no utility bills &c. in my name, driving licence in Thai script

Thai driving licences have your name and address in English.

Referring to someone as the "brains trust" sure is an odd way of complimenting them, that expression generally implies denigration and sarcasm.

I guess we have a cultural difference here.  I looked up the meaning of the phrase "brain trust" on the internet and see that Americans use it to denote a group of smart people advising a leader or a political figure.

Exactly, and when it is not used in that sense it is just a mocking sneer, regardless of how "advanced" your engineering degree is.

Within a day or two after reading that news article I found a motorcycle riding on the footpath in a busy intersection where I live. I took a picture including the driver's license plate of the motorcycle on the footpath with the license plate. I then walked across the street to the police booth and I motioned to the police in the booth motorcycle footpath look at my phone.

 

They literally laughed at m

That's because those reports/photos from the public had to be sent to the BMA, not the police controlling the busy intersection.

No, we mean it as a compliment.  She knows we call her that.

If you can't trust the product description, the pictures, or the reviews, then what's left to get this bit of discretion? And is that reasonable to expect the general population to be able to do?

 

The thing is that if you make these purchases with your eyes open you can trust the most of the pictures and descriptions.   The number of posters who have been buying for years and have commented in these threads that they have experienced few issues far outweigh the  those who claim problems every time.

Does anyone actually believe that Lazada sells genuine brand name products? 

 

The whole site is just cheap, Chinese fakes and copies!  So long as you are aware of that, then you take your chance and purchase the junk....  

 

Sellers sell through Lazada, Lazada doesn't sell anything.  To claim that the whole site is there for selling fake goods is just nonsense.

Gotta say I've not had much in the way of problems and I use Lazada extensively.

I've had a couple of broken items, refunded with no problems, and a pink bag when I ordered a black bag also refunded.

Same here, no issues.   

Some people just seem to want to create problems such as the OP, he noticed something that hasn't caused him a problem.     And they do add to the clicks here!

Why base a purchasing decision on a "review" by someone unknown with unknown credentials? It is an opinion not a review and we all know what an opinion is and who has one.

 

So what do you base your decision on? The pictures?

Yes, obviously, but trust also.   

Why assume all sellers are out to screw you?  If it's not what was ordered you get a refund.

Bedroom aircon was dripping water all night ...  we visited the condo brain trust downstairs ... within 15 minutes, the brain trust lady knocked on our door to say the aircon guys would come that afternoon and ... They left the place spotless ...The brain trust lady received a bag of Pepperidge Farm cookies from our condo mini-mart.

-Have you ever been subject to ransom attack?

Yes, in a minor way 4 years ago, hackers encrypted all my photos and documents on my laptop and wanted $500 for the key.    I let them keep them.

At least the cars were confiscated.  Though that does mean some seriously fast traffic copes now.

Probably means impounded, doubt the police have the authority to permanently deprive the owners of their property.

I use Arcoxia (90 or 120mg) and a muscle relaxant, Myonal.
