stament

I am interested in hiring a football pitch for my son and his friends. I am thinking one with a roof would be better or indoor place in case it rains heavily on the day we go.

Can anyone recommend one?  I saw Jaguar Mae Jo but that's a bit far away. 

All Star Arena is a possibility and I have tried calling them but no answer.

Many thanks

of the 12 month period , think i will copy all pages in that book , just to have everything

covered, don't like to give them any excuse for problem.........

Which branch? Two CM branches of Bangkok Bank I asked both said they needed 5 business days to do it, which is a week.

 

 

 

 

My branch (where I opened my account) is the one at Plaza 89, Nong Hoi and I can always get statements the same day.  Never asked for a year but I have requested 6 months and no issue.  Maybe change branch?

So 6 months and 2 months statements accepted by Immigration , I have prepared and I

am giving them 12 months statements , just to make sure , and will ask them what the

actual requirement is , but I suppose that can vary between officers .and if they like your

face or not.

They might ask for a copy of every page of your bank book like they did with me and some others.  Might be worth copying all the pages just in case they request it, otherwise you will have to come back and maybe experience a delay.

I only gave them a 6 month statement.

But they want your entire bank book (mostly empty as I don't bother to update it except on VISA extension day).

they only require two months of bank statements (which they accepted).

I see at the discretion of the officer, so anything goes. Now I understand the differences people have experienced.

Chiang Mai always require 12 months statement ,which if you are with Bangkok Bank

can take up to 5 working days ,as it must come from head office in Bangkok.,

 

regards worgeordie

With me that just required 60 days bank statement as per the instructions they gave me (plus the bank certificate). I also bank with Bangkok Bank. They did want copies of the entire savings book though. (2019 onwards).

Children's ID?

 

With you saying that I am assuming you were applying for an extension based on marriage. For the years I did the marriage route I always had to provide birth certificates.

Correct @dingdongrb

Oh you flatter yourself.  I am not following your threads, just see them when scanning thru the pages.

Interesting, I wish they would update their requirements list if that is the case. The requirements seem inconsistent depending on the officer reviewing based on comments on this thread.

Unsure @Bill97maybe you could enlighten me seeing as you seem to be following my threads....

I am not joking here...... I prepare every page including the front cover of PP, one set in color, one in BW. I would always be asked for a color page from someone .  Same with the marriage Cert.   My last visit this week they asked to see the receipt of payment 1900. baht  from 2019  !   I had every single receipt  in my car at this time.   They were surprised when i returned with them.     They didn't have my 2019 extension in their computer system, and they wanted proof !   They gave me a yogurt drink and a cake for my trouble.  

OMG!

For my 2020 extension I copied bankbook pages for the past year (which actually went back to 2018), not good enough had to copy the book back to 2014 (when I opened the account)

Same as me. I copied to 2022 but not sufficient...Wanted the whole book back to 2019..????

One year an officer asked for every PP page copied even the blanks. Next year did that myself at home and handed over the bundle of copies only to be told I was wasting the officers time as he had to reject almost all of them, said last year they wanted them, he was not amused. You can never win with these jokers

Same with me!  The requirement is that you photocopy every page of your passport that has a Thai stamp so I did that this year only to be handed back about 30 pages of copies saying they weren't required.... 

I just wish they would be consistent so we know what to prepare. Nothing more annoying than being given back lots of paper they say isn't required or being told that you need to go and get more copies of something that isn't required according to their list of requirements... Good job it's only once a year! 

Interestingly due to Songkran holidays (I presume) I got more than 30 days under consideration. I must return on May 19th.

I've never brought them a gift in over twenty three annual extensions, it seems to me the officer in question was simply being a jerk, because he could be.

She was very nice and polite, not a jobsworth at all (as was her younger colleague).

No point questioning it as it just reflects badly on you (me) and might negatively influence the decision so best just to accept, and smile (according to my wife) and not ask why it's required.....

Exactly my thoughts. I am guessing the officer didn't know their own rules.....

I provided 3 months bank statements and a bank certificate including photocopying my savings bank account which from 2022 onwards (as it doesn't have many transactions) which showed my balance not dipping below the required amount. I was shocked when the officer said they wanted photocopies of every page in the book dating back to 2019!

Last year I didn't encounter this issue. Seems like extra tea money for the photocopying shop behind perhaps?

On another note, they don't accept children's ID as ID, you need to submit their birth certificates. Perhaps because the passport doesn't state the parents is the reason.

Off topic but since you asked............ if you want serenity, amongst other things, take what they propose.

Don't even hint at questioning their wisdom.

How did you even make it to this point in time...???

I do wonder the same thing myself but from a different perspective. How has she out up with me for so long! ????

And you have been married HOW long..??

Have you learned nothing..??

Wife's preference would pretty much close this discussion before it even started.????

 

Other than that, been installing ceiling fans for many many years, never had or seen or heard of one falling from the sky or blades coming off.

Closest accident I saw was 40 odd years ago at local nightclub at new years eve...all full of p**s and bad manners......bloke had his girlfriend up on his shoulders prancing around when she was knocked off by a spinning blade.....bouncers were running around frantically trying to get her down beforehand but...... ambos came, gave her a clean bill of health.

Sorry I am confused....what should I have learnt exactly? Appreciate the positive feedback.

Wondered if anyone has any experience with the helicopter ceiling fans. Are they safe? My wife is a bit worried about having one and prefers to have the other type of fan. 

I understand her worries because if it does come off it could potentially kill someone with those metal blades!

Secondly, how about the effectiveness of both types?

Thanks in advance.

You need to get the correct paint. With the correct paint used in the correct dilution (hint; mostly do not dilute) you can start as soon as the surfaces are dry, though waiting 72 hours after the render is on, is good practice.

so 3 days after the concrete is dry we can paint with the special paint right @sometimewoodworker?
