Two options, go to the nearest Kasikorn bank near you and ask if they can help (I've heard some people say they were able to get the letter from their local branch, or use the attached link to locate the nearest International Trade Center near you, but the link doesn't list all, as the one I went to here in Pattaya isn't on their website. https://www.kasikornbank.com/en/branch/Pages/result.aspx?q=dummy&option=6&lat=13.724599&lng=100.6331106

Teenager dies in high-speed motorbike crash on Chonburi’s new tourist bridge

The bridge in question? -
A couple of years ago when I did a Wise transfer from the US to my Bangkok Bank for "Long Term Stay in Thailand" purpose, one transferred came from Kasikorn (no FTT in my BKK bankbook), and I had to go to Kasikorn (International Trade Center branch) and they were able to print me a letter showing it was an international transfer. After that I sent Wise an email asking them to "tag" my transfers to only use Bangkok Bank, since then no problems. Email transcript; "Hello, I'm a US citizen living in Thailand and was wondering how can I add a tag so my future THB transfers are only routed through Bangkok Bank?" Thanks for reaching out and apologies for the late reply. I have added the necessary tags for your future THB transfers to be routed through Bangkok Bank. Do note however that this has been applied only to your existing THB recipients- so if you would like this to be applied to a different THB account in the future, do reach out again to us and we'll be more than happy to help you with it again???? I would also like to inform that though we try to always route with your preferred payment partner, this tagging does not work 100% of the time as sometimes the partner itself has issues with paying out so we end up using another payout partner. Please let me know if you have further queries and I'd be happy to help. Have a lovely weekend. Kind regards,

Where do you plan on staying while in Thailand? If I were you, I'd first start with applying for a Non O visa based on marriage, with the Thai Embassy in your home country, no agent needed. Then when you arrive here, you can open a Thai bank account in your name only with the required 800,000 THB (or a joint account with 1,600,000 THB), get your marriage registered at your local amphur. Depending on the length of stay your on that visa, you'd either have 3 months and then apply for a extension, in which time you can make ready for a yearly visa based on marriage. https://london.thaiembassy.org/en/page/spouse-and-family-visa

Pattaya to Enforce Odd-Even Day Parking Rules on South Pattaya Road
bbko replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
Example, on odd number days, you can only park on the North side and NOT the South side, then on even numbered days you can only park on the South side and NOT the North. I've seen cars and bikes towed away in the past. -
Problems with Sound and Vibration on Samsung Smartphone.
bbko replied to NoshowJones's topic in Mobile Devices and Apps
Do you have any shortcut settings? Like if you press two buttons at the same time (i.e. volume & home) it will switch to vibrate. -

I've never used this option, but it's worth looking into if you can't trust the delivery in your are. Find a shipper's office in your area (Flash, Kerry, LEX, Thai Post) get their info and use their "Drop Off" option. https://sellercenter.lazada.co.th/seller/helpcenter/delivering-products-to-the-service-point-or-drop-off-point-11864.html

Insanitee @ Jomtien immigration.
bbko replied to Marky Mark Mark's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I've only dealt with Jomtien IO and over the years seen many farangs walking in with an attitude or an air of rudeness only to get shot down by the person they're dealing with. -

The Thai embassy in Brussels is confusing as hell, 555 Holders of Travel document issued by the Belgian government is NOT entitled to enter Thailand under the Visa Exemption scheme. ***Belgian and Luxembourgish passport holders are eligible to travel to Thailand without a visa and stay no more than 30 days under the visa exemption scheme. *** https://www.thaiembassy.be/2022/09/01/visa-exemption-scheme/?lang=en

What's the manufacture date on the tyres? Look for a 4 digit number, first 2 numbers are the week (1-52) and the last 2 numbers are the year, my tyres show 2422 (24th week of the year 2022). Many tyres start showing wear/tear/cracks/loss of traction after 5-6+ years. You say they are new, what kind of shop did you buy them from? A big chain or a small 1-2 man shop?
