I've three accounts with Bangkok Bank and they were not so insistent on the visa class but really wanted a work permit. I'm on an O and could bicker but I just bring the wp and boom done. I'll only have it another few years max.

Try bringing in a decent sum to open. 250k that might help

A school of no importance. Doubly more important that funds are used properly to improve that situation.

If that's true, then we know why the won't publish the CCTV footage?

It will be disappeared.

Camera not working

It never had any appeal to me after my first visit in 92. The architecture is different.

It's dusty, smoky, hot.

Only appeal is for broke retirees. I'm not keen on Pattaya but I'd rather live even there and subjecting my wife to that circus as well than live upcountry.

South Thailand, Bangkok

Some people should not be allowed out on their own.

 have you forgotten where you are ? This is Thailand pal, you need to learn to keep your eyes open and to trust nobody. Anybody  selling anything anywhere needs to be regarded with a healthy suspicion ,            This includes  but is not limited to,   Lotus, Big C , PTT , PEA,  7/11 , Global , Thai Watsadoo , Homepro, Do-home , etc.  all chinese hardware shops, any local markets, mom and pop shops and of course anything connected to the motor,  trade.including main dealers

           You also need to keep your wits about you when dealing with Banks, Insurance companies and hospitals. and be very wary when dealing with Teachers, Immigration and the Police, infact anybody wearing a uniform or receiving a government salary. 

           Exercise caution when dealing with "tradesmen" especially electricians. and maintain vigilance when paying in  hotels , restaurants and of course  bars

             Its a battlefield out there! with thousands of them lurking in the shadows,  just waiting to rip you off, with or without the help of your missis .  Always check your change . and don't forget to be extra alert around drug dealers lol

Oh dear God. I've been living here for 30 yrs. Yeah, got it champ.

I'm buying a gram. It's a simple purchase and don't expect to bicker over .25gm of marginal weed but I guess I need to. I figured I'd get a straight up deal the weed is not cheap.

I know I now need to check always.

Chinese, Indians and assorted gypsy's never go home.

Complete a new TM30 is all that's needed.

Thanks for that

Stupid question but does this reset my reporting? 90 day.

I hope to be changing condos in a month or so.

What documents do I need to present to immigration?

Can I notify next 90 day or I'd read I must do it asap after contract date (24 hours). I'm sure no one hits the window so another case of money spinner.

Thanks

Bangkok Bank charges a commission to take a cash deposit into one's Bangkok Bank saving account if the deposit is not being made at the same branch of Bangkok Bank that holds the account.

What????

No, any counter transaction when the passport has to be presented.  Cash deposits require ID also now.

Except I deposited 300k last week in two different banks and not asked for so while you are correct it's not always a practice

I have also done this before with SCB but it seems nowadays they check for valid visa for everything. Have to have a  valid visa to register at a hospital for example.

Lol. Only withdrawals. Thai banks are though overly cautious. Still lax about deposits, ID.

I live in Chiang Mai and I'm not your pal! The World Bank defines the Thai economy as developing, one step above emerging. 

Righto Champ

I'm catching your angle now because Chiang Mai is the third world

I'm sorry but this just so funny. Farangs alerting each other as to which exit to take from MRT stations because a patch of the pavement outside one of them is smelly and dirty......in Bangkok!

This is even more funny.

Another absolutely worthless babbling post.

The post was initially about the irony of me alerting the safety and health police to that sanitation mess yesterday only to return today to find it even more dirty.

The second hilarious thing about this thread is that it somehow has taken on a life of me whining about my third world existence.

The next bit of stupidity is a form member found what I posted of it helpful and thought that would provide for him and opportunity to divert from that mess I mean why look at it? Then, we have people with endless time on their hands that have to somehow post about the four member finding something helpful or useful in my post and somehow that becomes the focus of the thread.

That is insane

You'll forgive me OP but you appear to making a first world complaint in a third world country.

This is absolutely moronic. The Bangkok Subway compares to any subway around the world. It is first class.

This mess is less than 3 m from their property markers.

I've been in Thailand for an East Asia for 30 years. I've traveled all over the Indian subcontinent as well as spending years in Indonesia. I don't need any lectures about what should be or be not.

This should be not

in modern Bangkok which just went live with another recreational park just today.

This is dead center Bangkok. The MRT stop itself is perhaps four stops away from Sukhumvhit.

Does it smell like <deleted> or rancid grease? I'm other words, the vulture test.  Could be a sewer issue. 

So are all 4 letter words for excrement deleted?

It's household waste. Yes, sour and rancid. Amazing bc Rhythm Ratchada 50m away as is Ideo and Ibis Hotel.

What you complaining about , that's not too bad, at least

the pavement is level , not cracked , with ankle breaking

holes.

regards worgeordie

They pavement is safe but literally pock marked from food acids over the years. But no worries no one will step in it because it looks and smells so bad ????

He's been grubbing for this for nearly a decade.

The absolutely pathetic thing is that they have NEVER explicitly stated precisely what the fund is for. It's just free money from *rich westerners*.

Doubly repulsive, not specifically limited to tourists. 

It's typical Thailand. Funny, the minute the place opens the graft machine lurches into motion. It's positively vernal
