Even when they are an actual account of what happened but just because you don't think they should be accepted. As I said previously, things change all the time depending on how the IO officer feels on that particular day but don't be so dismissive of others experiences.

The last couple of months when I have come through Priority it would have been just as quick if not quicker going through the normal lanes due to the amount of families with children in the Priority lanes. It used to be one of the reasons I upgraded on my short haul trips but hardly worth it now, might be different in high season though.

Well I'm glad the immigration officer who I dealt with did not have the same opinion as you. She was the person that showed me how to do it so it was obviously from my account, sometimes common sense prevails, only sometimes....

It's almost a pleasure to use this office after using Jomtien for years, most of the staff are genuinely very helpful.

Yes, for annual extension, she only wanted it for the months that had not transactions after looking through my bank book. I have now set up a monthly 100b transfer into my account so there is movement every month. Of course what she is looking for at my next extension will probably change, a bit frustrating but it is Thailand, easier to just smile and say ok then.

Bangkok bank mobile app lets you download a 1 year statement instantly. Found this out when immigration officer at Map Ta Phut requested it and BKK Bank said will take 7 days. Went back to immigration and the lady showed me how to download a statement , emailed it to her and she printed it off for me.

Yup, Satan's salad is famous for it's violence inducing qualities. I heard after injecting it only once you are addicted for life.

What's wrong with people that need to work, most under retirement age do ? Vast majority of my friends work.

No, I think inverter type are the most efficient, I have been wrong before though....

Never seen this type, would be incredibly expensive to keep cooling hot outside air to blow into a cool room, that's why they recycle the cool air already inside the room. You would also need a good size air ducting from the outside to the indoor unit for the outside air to get to the chiller section.

Is it an invertor (DC Compressor) type or just a more efficient AC compressor type? If invertor type then once the set temperature has been reach the compressor and fan will slow down to a very level to maintain the temperature, They are far superior (and cheaper to run) than conventional AC compressor types which are either fully on or fully off during load/unload conditions. Air Cons themselves cannot reduce the amount of oxygen in the room as they are closed loop just recycling the same air in the room.

I have the Accord 2.0l Hybrid and must admit I love it, especially the instant torque and fuel consumption is great. Watched a youtube video on the power train breakdown into components (generator, electric motors etc) and the engineering is incredible. Only thing I miss is normal engine revving and gear changes but with an automatic you don't really get that now anyway.

Agree regarding Dr Somchai at Bangkok Pattaya Hospital. Also worth looking at (pardon the pun) Lens replacement surgery as with Lasik you may still need reading glasses later in life whereas Multiocular Lens Replacement is a lifetime fix for both long and short sighted problems and no chance you will ever get cataracts, costs about 220K baht at BPH.

Thanks for the info, much appreciated. Do you know if this link is for tax and NI or only tax related issues ?

Thanks, I have sent them a message, they said up to 10 days for a reply, fingers crossed.
