Is that your photo, and if so when was it taken? The sample dates on the sign are from 2013, which leads me to suspect that it was a photo taken before they changed the rules to allow reporting up until the due date.

Try reading his comment again. He wasn't accusing you, on the contrary he was defending you against those thinking you might have unsavory motives. Before flying off the handle, it would be a good idea if you read peoples replies slowly and understand what was being said.

Apparent discrepancy between metering systems
Sophon replied to sathornlover's topic in Alternative/Renewable Energy Forum
The information is there in Thai as well: Don't go to "Overview", instead select "Technical information" and the information is there. -
Furniture/Personal Possessions/Container From UK
Sophon replied to MangoKorat's topic in General Topics
That's not what the website says. It says that you can ship household items without paying tax if: So you have to move here for work or be a returning Thai citizen who have been living outside Thailand. If you do not fall into one of those two categories everything is subject to tax. An experienced shipper can often negotiate the tax down for you. -

Solar power, can it be done DIY?
Sophon replied to Sophon's topic in Alternative/Renewable Energy Forum
PEA just delivered our December bill, so that completes our first full calendar year with solar and EV. Total consumption for the year 5,660 kWh, so an average of 472 kWh per month or 15.5 kWh per day. Before we bought the EV we averaged 12 kWh per day. Total imported from PEA for the year 32 kWh, so 5,628 kWh or 99.43% of our consumption covered by solar. -

Divorced while on Marriage extension
Sophon replied to TPDH's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Your extension ends on the date of your divorce. If you qualify, you can apply for a new extension based on e.g. retirement, or you can apply for 7 days to leave the country but you do not get the 7 days automatically. -
As others have mentioned, plenty of EVs use LFP batteries that don't contain cobalt. On the other hand, cobalt is used when refining crude oil, so everyone driving an ICE car are contributing to the problem of "child slaves mining cobalt in the Congo".

Bangkok Bank web page login - What am I doing wrong.
Sophon replied to Custard boy's topic in IT and Computers
I had the same experience a couple of years ago, when I first installed the app on my phone. Like you cannot remember exactly what the issue was, but it was quickly resolved with a call to customer service. Just to add, I have always had very good experiences when calling Bangkok Bank customer service, perfect English and a good grasp of the issues and what is needed to resolve the problem. -
There are reviews on Google Play, I don't know why you don't see them Overall doesn't sound too promising, many one star reviews by users that couldn't get the app to work. Also bad comments about support. On the other hand the app seems to work fine for some people, so I guess you just have to try it for yourself.

Tm47 online submission "rejected"
Sophon replied to walailak's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Something is not correct here. If you really submitted your latest 90 day report mid June, then your next report would be due sometime in September, and it would now be to late to report. Did you mean middle of July? -
Help on "Retirement Visa"
Sophon replied to JamesPhuket10's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
The operative words here are "for e period of time". I have updated my Bangkok Bank accounts at the machine many times, and unless it has been more than three months (or so) since my last update, the machine will spit the book out and ask me to turn to a new page and reinsert the book. -
Help on "Retirement Visa"
Sophon replied to JamesPhuket10's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Which bank have you had that experience at? I have accounts at Bangkok Bank, Krungsri, SCB, Kasikorn Bank and Krung Thai and none of them work like you describe. Of course, if you don't update regularly transactions will be consolidated (although Krungsri doesn't seem to do that). -
You are quoting two different posters.

When this topic was originally posted, the Neta V was the only really low price EV option. Recently, the Wuling Binguo an even lower priced alternative for a small city runabout was introduced in the Thai market:

Now try to do your search without the "Korat", which you didn't mention in your opening post, and see what results you get.

I know that, but neither was mentioned in the question from the OP or in the reply from other posters.

It's been a few years since I used CW, but back then they required a photocopy of the original Non Immigrant visa.

That's the opposite of how I read it: Section 84 allows the settlement committee to grant authorization to Immigration officers to issue fines and close the matter without taking it to court. But regardless of this my point is; the Immigration act is the legal framework setting out duties and punishments surrounding immigration matters. Immigration have been granted authorization (via police orders) to issue fines for transgressions against the act, but they cannot be granted authorization to issue fines in excess of what is legally set out in the Immigration act. When the act states a maximum fine for a transgression, no one can fine you more than what is stated. Also from the Immigration act: This is why, when years ago Immigration increased the daily fine for overstay from THB 200 to THB 500, the maximum fine was left unchanged at THB 20,000. To increase the maximum fine for overstay would have required amendment of the Immigration act, which is a lot harder than just issuing a new police order.
