The 800K account should be in your sole name, so how can she access it? 

She used my ATM card. She's been using it for years with my permission without a problem as I'm often too lazy to drive into town. Only recently has the balance been down to 800k.

Over 27k cases of dengue, I assume this year, although the report fails to give a time frame. Does anyone know which is the prevalent strain? Is it DENV 1, 2, 3 or 4? I had DENV 2 about 10 years ago so I believe I'm immune to that particular strain but not to the other 3. Moreover I understand that having recovered from one strain, if you then get one of the other strains you will be more seriously affected than if you'd never had dengue before.

Ubonjoe, thank you. I knew it wouldn't be just a case of handing in the two passports, that would be too easy. It's 10 years since I last did this & I couldn't remember the procedure.

Having just received my new passport, do I need any copies when I go to immigration to get the stamps transferred?

With Ukraine responsible for 46% of the world`s sunflower oil is there anything stopping Thailand attempting to ease the shortage caused by the Russian invasion. We grow 3 crops of corn a year here in the lower north but I'm thinking sunflowers would grow just as easily & much more profitably. Has anyone had experience of growing sunflowers here? Is there an established market here?

Thanks for your replies. I will apply now.

My UK passport expires in April 2023 but I understand I can only apply to renew if there are 9 months or less before expiry- ie. I can`t apply before July 2022. My annual visa extension is due early August 2022 & as UK passports are taking 10 to 11 weeks to issue I will have to use my current passport for the extension. As the passport expires in April 2023 the extension will only be granted until the passport expiry date- & not for the full year until August 2023. When I receive my new passport will immigration require me to apply for another annual extension from April 2023 or will they then extend the extension for the full year in my new passport- that is until August 2023?

Some years ago if my electricity meter showed under 90 units per month there was no charge but if it went over the 90 units the charge was for the total units. Over the years the number of free electricity units has been reduced- but it still works on the same basis that if the meter shows more than the free allowance the charge is for the total amount. I suspect that the allowance just announced of 90 free units may be only if the meter stays below the 90.

On Yesterdays forum, the government stated that Thailand is still welcoming Chinese tourists, and not closing its doors to Chinese citizens like other Countries, 

Just check Don Muang flight arrivals- they are still arriving alright.

YouTube are hopeless for movies. They have a computer program that checks every movie for copyright content before it gets posted. So many movies were being deleted by YouTube that some prolific posters moved to the Russian site- ok.ru They have thousands of free movies. Never seen one deleted over copyright. Forget YouTube- being based in the US they are at a disadvantage when it comes to copyright.

This morning, Monday, notice on door of immigration office Phetchabun- CLOSED 16th & 17th.

I had Dengue here in Thailand 6 years ago- no fun at all but my understanding is that there are 4 types of the virus- DENV-1, -2, -3 & -4 & having been infected with one type you acquire lifelong immunity to that particular type virus. If, however, you become infected with one of the other types of the virus you have no immunity to that & your symptoms are intensified.

If the Thai authorities are deporting the woman , they have the option under section 55 Immigration act to allow her to choose an alternative route.

Kuwait Airways fly direct- BKK - KWI. Having been refused entry into Thailand the airline she arrived on is obliged to return her. If indeed she was in transit & in possession of a valid ticket to Australia & a valid Australian visa & did not attempt to enter Thailand then on what grounds can she be deported?

We do not know for sure whether she had an Australian visa or even if she had a flight booked.

 

There are several airlines that stop in BKK on route to Australia, Qantas being one of them.

So it`s possible she arrived in Bangkok with no onward or return ticket & no Australian visa. That being the case where does Australia come into it? Does she just say that Australia was her preferred destination? This girl needs help.
