  1. Like I stated. I'd call the embassy and see what the current cross rate is for THB and ask about the mailing particulars. The latter do not change but if you didn't take note on the site when you made the app they'll send you the directions. The turnaround on my passport was something like 14 days, maybe 12.
  2. Email them. They'll send latest instructions including if you want to do bank draft ask. I think I mailed in with Thai post
  3. I'm 60+ and I'd like 30 more years of good health. After that I'm okay with tipping my hat and showing myself out. If even in a very modest yet secure, comfortable little place. Enough to eat. Bills paid. Seen everything, done everything - wife as well. I'm absolutely fascinated at the shi+storm that's going to be hitting the world in the next 25 years. I'd love to watch it from a virtual bunker.
  4. A marketing genius. Why did I know she was not a nuclear physicist?
  5. Yes, but not really. They are retired and decades away from latest and greatest knowledge in whatever field. Add to this they've been retired. The best example of this is in medicine. The younger doctors will know the latest procedures and tricks. Old school doctors just do it the old school way. I'm sure this is the same in every profession and vocation Given that it takes five years of hard work to become a teacher of any value stepping into this at 65 is not going to work for students and the old git will be exhausted. Did I mention starting salary of 35k? A school has to be really, really desperate to hire a totally inexperienced teacher 60+. Finally, again unless totally desperate schools simply don't hire even great teachers 60+. Jus sayin
  6. My best advice is to marry at the BanRak amphor. They are quite set up for dealing with farang. My marriage of 15 years went quickly and smoothly.
  7. Wow, this is so petty. I've flown two dozen airlines in my life and never heard of such a thing.
  8. Amcham pdf discussing three types of wills valid in Thailand. Making-A-Will-in-Thailand-and-Issues-to-be-Aware-of-200320.pdf
  9. It's a valid concern even without the epilepsy. Balconies dangerously low in Thailand.
  10. I have a few bank accounts. 40k is absolutely ridiculous. That's a month's salary for a Bangkok bank branch manager. Personal effects Bank accounts Living will issues C'mon now
  11. Hi everyone I need to have surgery for a minor health issue but expect it to require general anesthesia. Therefore, it's finally time to make a will. First, what is a fair price to have this done in Thailand? The will do simple need I go this route? I live in Bangkok and assume needs to be done here as I expect some F2F need for signatures etc? What is the process for doing this myself? I only have bank accounts. Nothing complicated. Everything to wife of 13 years. Thai: 4-5 bank accounts, personal effects US two accounts, two IRA. IRAs wife has already been inserted as beneficiary but kinda dodgy bc no TIN used her passport number. 1 write it following template I dld here on this AN website. 2 translate it to Thai 3 take it amphor, have it witnessed and registered What are some things I might not be aware of that should be included? Finally, can I do a US will here? Need it be registered or ?? Can I write my own will for US here or use legal services here and somehow have it registered in US? Perhaps bring it into a notary and sign there? I do understand my wife can be the executor but cannot witness the document. I have read registering the will at amphor can be tricky. I can use any in Bangkok correct? Thank you kindly
