Best bank for general use
BKK Bank...u'm parked my 800K Baht in it only just because I used it in the early days..........but no more...just so difficult to deal with in both personal and business banking. IMHO, stick with SCB or even Kasikornbank (KBank) are the way to go................ According to AI engines the top most favorable Thailand banks on customer based (Net Promotor Score) NPS are KBank and SCB bank

Call me cynical, but, I wonder how long the government power brokers have had knowledge of this financial disaster. It may give rise to all the recent activity and policy changes by the RD on Thailand's tax reform to generate more revenue for the government to support the ongoing funding of this pipe dream.- Thai Education Under Scrutiny After Poor Global Ranking

Wonder if any of these Thailand IT rocket scientists on this project has ever seen or implemented this strategy effectively: Or have ever heard of or implemented end-user and A/B testing. Me think NOT.................. Would also be of interest to know which SDLC model (if any) they implemented, Waterfall or Agile, as it seems it was just an overall failure? From my experience, many (I should say most) government IT projects are a total failure or do not deliver on the user requirements, for many reasons, Poor Planning & Unrealistic Requirements Lack of Skilled Personnel & Expertise Bureaucratic Delays & Political Interference Legacy Systems & Integration Issues Insufficient Risk Management & Testing Vendor's Capabilities and Performance So in this case maybe all of the above .....5555- Which AC better 4 reliability, endurance, service:Daikin/Panasonic.

So a 10-year tourist visa, U'm, does that implies they are not temporary residents and as such not subject to paying Thailand tax. 555- When is my 90 day report due?
Unfortunately, I think you lack basic knowledge of the Thai IMM Information Technology systems, The IMMO TM47 system has no real-time interface to the Online-90 day reporting system, same with the TM30 system and new TDAC system The databases are all disparate from each other. They are fully asynchronous and require manual intervention to pass information between the TM47 and 90-day online reporting system So it is possible to have at some point in time two active 90-day reports, I am looking at both of them in front of me now. Until all the disparate systems are connected via an Enterprise Service Bus (or other technologies), you will never have synchronous real-time concurrency of IMM foreigner's information between all these systems in Thailand- When is my 90 day report due?
You can have both....I currently have 2 active 90 day reports, One from my Visa Non-Imm-O renewal in early April and the other from my online 90-day report that was active prior to my visa renewal that I submitted for updating in late April after an email notification from IMM. I now have the (Visa renewal) new 90-day report that expires in June and the updated online 90-day report that expires in July. BTW the online 90-day report that I submitted in late April had my new visa details of a new residential address and the new 2026 visa expire date. I will continue using the online 90-day reporting system and dismiss the 90-day report provided by the IMMO at visa renewal. - Tightening of Alcohol Laws With New Fines for Drinkers
