The Pattaya SSO is in Laem Chabang. But how would a Thai SSO be able to help you?

I told my wife to bury me in the garden and not tell anyone. Maybe suggest Id gone missing after my 130th birthday.

Good idea! Maybe I should advertise ????

BTW, I noticed there are many 'professions' suggested for people to use to counter sign these 'life forms'. Which do most people use? I've tried bank managers, even police here with this kind of stuff before, and always ended up with expensive lawyers (2000 baht for a stamp and a tel. no.). Professions don't seem to like to do this kind of thing here. Haven't tried my dentist yet. Maybe ...

My bank sends out a credit card statement every month (they tell me). I receive between 3 and 5 each year. That's not a good % But they're pretty good at substituting other people's mail for the ones I should get.

What a bizarre system.

Addendum Finally got through to the pensions office. It was the Proof of Life cert. Apparently, they sent me 2 to the correct address, but neither arrived here (Thailand Post strikes again). Payments reinstated and a copy of the blank form sent by email. 16 weeks to return it. Should just about get there in time ???? Once again, thanks for the heads up.

Not so much in Pattaya. There are too many paths to an early grave in this fair city. Having said that, most of those paths lead through some stunning 'scenery' ????

Many thanks for the replies guys. Very helpful. I agree the most likely answer is the 'proof of life' cert. I'm 71, and never had one, so didn't know it existed. I tried calling the phone number given but after a wait of 15 minutes while listening to some 'irk' strumming a guitar, and being told continuously to 'continue to hold', I gave up. Will try later in the day (UK time).

Anyone else experiencing UK monthly pension payment delays via Bahtnet? My last one should have been received 8th June. Not received still on 16th. I've had 2/3 day delays in the past but never this long. I've already sent a message to UK pensions via their website, but 10 day reply times indicated.
