Anyone know a bank (any) in Bangkok that lets you open a joint account? Tried to do this with the gf yesterday at BKK Bank and Krungsi at Central Bangna and was told I needed a WP for both.

Tried to open a joint bank account with my gf yesterday at a BKK bank branch and then Bank of Ayudhya and was told I needed a WP at both, I know all about the issues with bank accounts and being told you need a WP at some branches but not so at others so does anyone have any experience opening joint accounts and do they know any banks and branches in Bkk that will let us do this without a WP?

this was my email I sent and reply from them:

So I got a reply to my email a few hrs after I sent it, they are fully booked up until the 25th which is when I have my appointment.

Im about to send an email to book the appointment today, so its most likely they will not even reply?

I live in BKK, should I just turn up at Trendy with all the docs and photocopies etc then and see if I get served?

I read in this thread a few months ago that some kind of proof of residence here was needed such as a Thai driving license, I do not have this, the only thing I can think of is a letter from the school I study at as proof...

In the early days they were definitely letting people in who didn't have appointments, however recently they seem to have tightened up.

When I was there to apply about three weeks ago, their front desk security were really strict about admission and wouldn't let me through until I gave them my name and time of appointment which they checked against a list.

You will definitely require one piece of written evidence of name and address, a letter from the school you are studying may be ok.

Here is the list of acceptable documents I got from HMPO:

We have contacted our Liverpool Overseas Team on your behalf who has confirmed that you must submit at least one piece of evidence to confirm the address you currently use and it must be dated within the last year. You may choose from the following:

Tax record e.g. letter from tax authority

Educational record e.g. school report

Employment record e.g. official letter from your employer

A letter sent to you from a central, regional or local Government department

National identity card or equivalent (or colour photocopy)

Visa or resident permit (or colour photocopy)

Where none of the above is available consideration may be given to bank statements, utility bills or their equivalents.

Any documents that are not in English must be fully translated by a person who is registered to an official organisation or trade body for translators or employed by a recognised translation company. The translation must be attached to the original document and signed to confirm it is a true copy of the original.

I can get a letter from the school no problem.

So are they not even replying to emails requesting appointments?

So in the last few months Ive actually found out that there are many different types of courses and subjects that can be done on an ED visa, ranging from Chinese and Russian languages at Walen to muay Thai and cooking courses (ok I know the latter isnt new) I was also in contact with another school recently that does computer courses and they are working on getting ED visas arranged for some 1 year courses but dont have MOE approval yet.

So I was wondering if we could perhaps put together a list here of all the types of courses available and where for ED visas?

OK thanks guys, the half-page should be just enough for the 2 stamps they do for extension and thats perfect if applying for a new passport doesnt affect it.

I only have half a page left in my passport, next 90 day report is on July 16th so I guess not enough time?

So let me get the process straight:

You need to go to the office at Trendy in person with the full color copy of your passport, passport and other docs, pay the fee and then wait 6 weeks? I will need to apply for a new ED course here in that time I think, will this affect it?

Im not on either side of the fence here but lets not forget that it was only about 8 or so months ago (before there was pressure on the PTP) when the Gov and the Police started making statements of what was going to happen to people who were saying anti gov things on social media about the rotting rice piles and how they were going to talk to Line etc.

So basically same same but different.

I was just about to start a thread here to ask the same thing. I have both True and 3BB and seen problems start within days of the coup, Ive not been running speed tests as they often flucuate so much and sites like Speedtest are a waste of time but Ive been getting lots of sites hanging and not resolving or sometimes just loading the basic html and text and noting more and often I have to hard refresh pages again and again, this is on both ips. Torrents have been fine as have pings on game servers though (yes the important stuff)

Any engineers can throw light on what could be happening here?

I know these sold out in like an hr on the first day but the gf is on my case about wanting to go so Im asking here just in case, does anyone have any for sale or know someone who does?

thanks

as a neutral who has been cheering on LFC all season I hate to say this but I dont think they are going to reproduce this years performances next year and they have really fluffled a very good chance at the title in the last few games

Can anyone recommend any? Aside from what's in the shopping malls there seem to be very few and extensive Googling hasn't brought up much. There's a few round here I go to regularly with the mrs but they are just Thai known places and then there's Koh Lanta which is nice but we've been there plenty of times and if lime to find some new places to go to, preferably Thai food also but interested in others, thanks

ugh just looked at the KO times, we couldnt be in a worse spot could we in terms of Thailand times. For the group stages it seems that the ones at 1pm local Brazil time should be ok as 11pm here but the rest are at ridiculous hrs between 2-6am

can someone please tell me exactly what 'the united way' is regarding managers and them being given time etc etc? Its something Ive heard a lot in the last few weeks and months, the previous manager to Moyes had the job for over quarter of a century and apart from the first couple of years had huge success so how can anyone say that United have 'a way' where they give managers time regardless of results? What examples can they point to? Fergie's first few years at united was eons ago and irrelevant to modern day football...

Whee are you located? What games do they come with?

how the heck did they actually steal it? Arent these kind of watches kept locked up in the cabinets and only taken out when staff allow it?

if this was in MOMA or the Tate Modern it would be hailed as progressive modern art with the art community proclaiming how it depicts western pop culture symbolism and capitalism or something something blah blah and there would be nothing wrong with that, why is it so wrong for an artist to do it at a temple here?

Went to Suksawad today as had read here it was faster and it was a shambles, not sure if that was because I was going an ed visa extension or what, just got back and tired as hell but will post how it went later.

ok added you

I've seen iPhones on offer like this before but I don't have a credit card so I need a place that will let me pay cash....
