  1. I thought that too today. Better to wait. I locked the account so it wont happen again.
  2. No idea if stiil runs but there used to be CM-BKK bus that picked up in the backpacker area near Thapae gate and not bus station. Must have been cheaper. One could smell the odour of unwashed Hippy from 100 metres away.
  3. I do have another account so my total savings never went below 800k baht, but I updated today my Extension purpose bankbook went momentarily to 799,867.20 baht! From yesterday opened Kasikorn fixed account with 1000 baht. Plan to fund it fully prior to next extension.
  4. No I just did extension about 2 months ago understand 800k must be maintained until 3 months after hence one may withdraw down to 400k until 2 months prior to next extension. Correct?
  5. Ethnic? Its 2025 mate really wondering what percentage of Army recruits are 100 percent White British these days anyway?
  6. I had already planned to gird my loins and assail some Kasikorns to see if they would accept me I hear good things about them, supposedly can do 12 month statement same day and a branch nearby in Maya Shopping mall. I actually go to US frequently very easy to get a Non-O online from Consulate and start again so no biggy really. Next summer is a long way off too
  7. Thanks Dr., and twelve month statement for both I assume My retirement account has no ATM card and although I see the balance on the mobile app I really had no idea it could be selected for payments from mobile banking, My intention is to keep the 800k balance safe and only accessible by branch visit show passport Feeling dopey....I will be more careful
  8. I have two BBl normal savings accounts in my name only One for expenses/ATM and another with a few thousand more than 800k strictly for extension I do not intend to touch at all during the year. And importantly I did my Non-O one year extension of stay in CM less than two months ago Well today I am sitting on my dumb rump while watching tv Paying a contractor some 6500 baht via mobile banking app and due my error accidently paid from the 800k account Noooo ......I went below 800k baht for a few minutes If one considers the funds in the daily expenses account plus the second account my savings never went below 800k but am I screwed? Can two accounts in my name only be considered to grant a one year extension based on retirement?
  9. Is Thailand Privilege company even as a state owned enterprise associated with the Taksin milieu?
  10. Taiwan used to do the Death announcement for smugglers on flights. Have not noticed it recently
  11. That could have been because I was rolling the funds back in my main account, Then selecting a different promotion? I had a whole stack of old account bank books mostly fixed accounts I shredded a couple years ago.
  12. Not how it would work, major cities in almost any country will be struck also The sides taking out each other's perceived allies. Humanity will only survive in remote areas, such as tiny Pacific islands. And elites sheltered in Military bunkers Sell how on an online platform that is closed when internet even electricity will be gone? Better have your own plane, the whole world shut down for Covid
  13. So you keep the same book from year to year? I do not recall that with BBL.
  14. Yes a savings. I enrolled in fixed accounts when I got a nifty return. They used to give a new book every year Is there any issue in proving continuity of balance when using a fixed account?
  15. I have a second BBL account with no ATM for immigration use only. Bank letter same day, 12 months statement, one week. I just applied for extension . And this year it was on like a 6 pages continuous feed paper with the holes one has to peel off then collate. I thought it was always one one page? I don't touch this account normally. The bank book updates are less than a page for one year. I was thinking of starting an account at UOB or somewhere else but probably impossible now. And having to prepare one year seasoning of funds too much hassle. What's next? De-banking could be the final nail in the coffin for retire to Thailand dreamers. All because a small minority, of criminals.
  16. The product cycle takes a years to reconcile to new realities. Meanwhile, lightweight drones cannot provide air superiority over nations that still field fighter jets. The next generation will be pilotless, anyway. And keep the huge contracts for military aerospace companies , which is all about $
  17. JED-LHR says something about Saudi Immigration and airport procedures When my flight from Chiang Mai to Incheon was cancelled this year our passports were not taken All foreigners exit stamp canceled and provided bus transport to a hotel Same thing happened, many years ago on a BKK-NRT flight Passports were NOT confiscated. I think immigration this time was applying their operational discretion, or pure laziness It took hours to cancel the exit stamps of hundreds of people that time
  18. I asked that here yesterday on this topic and got no answer, only a thumbs down emoji. Just surmising and this is just a guess you are now on overstay, with a good excuse.
  19. They cancel the exit stamp. The passenger is back on the permit to stay held when arriving at the airport,
  20. They don't. They void your exit stamp, because you did not depart Thailand. Happened to me twice. All the passengers were led back through the immigration departure area where departure stamps were marked VOID then downstairs to get bags. Finally to a bus stop for the airline supplied hotel, as it was a maintenance cancel both times This year in January I just went home, with my passport
