Looked at Immigration site , none the wiser. A brief google suggests it is a digital version of the old TM6 "landing /arrival card? I have a multi entry non O with re entry permit. Will it be an app? Will it be via eMail ? Will it work by text to my Thai mobile? I am happy to comply but the similar Malay system very clunky esp if entering address in correct formats Has anyone seen a template please? I am never in a hurry as partner always late pick up from Swampy so can do it once landed unles airlines will make it a boarding requirement. as refusal makes airline liable to deport Any advice or experience welcome thank you in anticipation.

I was in Chiang Rai Provincial Hospital (Prachanukroh Hospital) for good dentistry a long time back. I also had good cataract treatment at the very modern out of town private hospital called Mai Fah luang hospital, it is about 10 miles north near the new Chinag Saen highway junction with the main highway to Mae Sai. Also had flu shots there.Easy to see and fantasic views from 14th floor, it is the largest building I have seen in the province! Just add often a long walk from the free car park but if you have a driver there is a covered drop off point at th emain entrance, and a 7-11 nearby plus a range of snack options,I only had an overnight to check cataract ok which it was but hopital food was cheap and tasty, similar to good local restaurants.

Thanks for reply, have you or anyone you know actually ever done it with a WISE card though? Is that 250 at Kasikorn or SCB as similar to the fee for a transfer via wise, and may be useful to have some cash for tradesmen like gardeners plumbers builders who like the local restaurants everywhere prefer fungible cash.

Please does anyone use a physical WISE card at a Kasikorn or SCB ATM machine , withdrawing baht from your Thai baht balance? While I use it for purchases have not tried new card in an ATM. If I withdraw 30,ooo baht the maximum local ATM allows in one transactions what will be the approximate cost please. Is it the fixed foreign card fee around 200-250 baht c $5-10 which is no problem or is it more like the typical range 2-3% charged on foreign currency conversions, which is will cost me close to hundred bucks a month? I realize probably better to take large sum once a month than $100 equivalent daily for "walking around money" Any advice or direct experience welcome

WISE....Beware !

Like others I receive into Kasikorn in seconds , sent $2600 las t week for the holidays arrived 10 seconds later, when I used to use Bangkok Bank always said 1413 next WORKING DAY, so if sent Friday morning would arrive 1413 Monday or later with the many holidays at both ends. I recommend Kasikorn to the OP if convenient . Fees , charges seem pretty similar, my choice was based on ease of parking ! Kasikorn suits me for day to day , I use SCB for visa as near immigration Office for extension letters. -
Due to increasing health issues including , inter alia , memory,eye sight and mobility I wonder if as in my home country is it possible to give my Thai wife the power of Attorney for extension renewal/TM 7 , TM30, 90 day reports etc Main issues I foresee 1 Bank as account only in my main as required for non O married , will a bank accept power of attorney please? I am with SCB but can switch to Kasikorn locally if easier. 2 Non wheelchair access, parking, non disabled toilets, painful issues getting in and out of car. 3 I am happy to sit in car park and sign docs once a year at present but they now seem to require their camera photo like at Airports. I am sure I cannot be the sole foreigner in declining years to face these issues, there are no agents locally , I try to do everything legally and on time and have resources, but with mobility misfolding and eye issues, which can only get worse I want to make life easy for my poor wife who is always intimidated by the office. If it is possible can anyone explain how to go about it obtaining it while still capable please. Thank you in anticipation.

Both scb and K plus are offering fixed accounts yielding about 9k per annum on two and quarter rates advertised so 18k over the term. They say you can withdraw immediatly by forfitting the interest. Will this work for Immigration or does it have to be my normal savings account. The only other easily accesible bank is Krung Thai and with no account may be a hassle to open? Thanks for any advice esp from experience, there is no TMB Bangkok, Ayuddha locally
