samut prakarn immigration old office before april
arrived at 2 pm, got 30 people in front of me
everybody, tourist, marriage, retirement, all handled by 1 desk and one desk only
the other 12 pushing fingers and the occasional agent with 5-10 passports took the needed time
at 4.30 pm they decided to open a second desk, wow
at 5.30 pm , was my turn, to hear as I changed banks
but kept 400k alive as demanded
and bank statements of both banks
12 months for the old one, to show the 800k last year, kept for 3 months, got down to 400k on both, switched to 800k of the new bank, for at least 3 months
bank letter of new bank
to hear I had to go get a bank letter, not statements only, of the old bank, that held only a few thousand baht, or no extension
had to run in the hope the bank was still open and rush back with the needed paper...
had updated bank book of both, deposited 100 baht on both
but without a useless bank letter of the old bank , just to state it was in my name, because 12 months bank statements, in my name, was not enough
great service, right...
