  1. I did my 90 day this morning. It was so quiet the young trainee on the door didn't even give me a queue number. The IO scanned my passport, printed out the new slip (30th July) and didn't even give a cursory glance at my form and supporting paperwork. I then asked when the new office was opening. He said "Another 5 months". We'll see. But they don't seem to be in a hurry, which suites me as I live barely 4km away. The new office will be a pain.
  2. Too much of a Temptation. (showing my age there)
  3. But that's their policy on that day and for that officer only.
  4. Tell that to Khon Kaen office. I haven't left Thailand for 11 years and I think it's five or six since I went out of Khon Kaen province. Yet last September in order to renew my extension they asked for a new TM30. Fortunately my wife had her tabien baan with her.
  5. Which is why, regretfully, I no longer stop for pedestrian crossings.
  6. I'm sorry but that's not my experience. Vi my online account I told them 5 times last tax year that I do not receive the increase and each time they signed it off as completed without altering the wrong code. In the end I rang them in February and it was corrected at once.
  7. British Camembert, and in fact all British cheeses, are just as good as anything the French can produce.
  8. About 5pm yesterday I tried to transfer some money from my Kasikorn account to my wife's Kasikorn account using the Kasikorn website as I happened to be on the computer at the time. The OTP they sent never arrived. So I transferred the money using the mobile app which worked fine and there's no need for an OTP in the app. This morning I noticed a message from Kasikorn on my mobile. The OTP had arrived at 0025, ie about 7 hours after they claim to have sent it. Has anybody else experienced this sort of delay, and what could have caused it?
  9. Where is the mob of concerned residents protesting about this. Silly me, a Thai did it not a falang.
  10. I had the same problem. I moved the mouse dongle from the USB port at the back to one at the front and that cured it. Just a bad connection I suppose.

    Isaan Funerals

    As above in my wife's village in Khon Kaen except that close relatives go through the ashes for a bone or tooth to keep and the rest of the ashes are put under a tree, not buried.
  12. They shouldn't be as the supply of unused ones is infinite.
  13. It was a man, and years ago. Their attitude may have changed now but my wife hates to interact with their officials as they always look down on mia farang.
  14. That's exactly what I was told a few years ago at the Khon Kaen office. That's after the first thing the officer said to my wife (in Thai of course) "Can you read and write". She was upset and I was fuming when she told me afterwards, she has a BA and a hard-won MA. But she wouldn't let me go back in to speak to him.
  15. Agreed. But we are talking about HMRC assuming we get the annual increase to our state pension and taxing us accordingly.
  16. I have the same problem. I have reported this five times via my HMRC account but each time it is signed off with no action on their part. There is no comment space to let you tell them you are abroad. All you can do is tell there is an error in the state pension figure you are receiving and input the correct weekly figure. Then it's signed off within two weeks without amendment.
