Does any one have any opinions on Ramkhamhaeng Demonstration School, specifically the newer campus in Banga? I have read some views about other Demonstration Schools being some of the best public schools, but can't find much about this school (in English anyway). My Thai neighbor suggests this school this as a possible good option, he is thinking of sending his son there when old enough. He's an engineering manager at Suvarnabhumi and studied at Uni in the UK, so like to think he has some experience of judging educational institutes. Looking for schooling options for my little one, and the EP here could be suitable. Prices range from 145,200 - 188,100 for Kinder - Prathom 6

Do you recall which schools? With the discount, the most expensive year at Berkeley is 140k cheaper than the cheapest school on my current short list, Wells International.

Yes tuition fee. I have two friends whose children study at Berkley and they received the discount. They did used to advertise it on the site in around 2021. Indeed, still rather pricey. Although the discount makes it cheaper than some of the mid priced international schools such as Wells, International Community School, Bangkok Prep, Regent's International School, etc.

Hi, I know Berkeley School can offer a 50% discount on tuition fees if you register your child under their foreign passport for certain nationalities. I have also seen comments on here on older threads that some other International schools may also offer similar discounts. Does anybody know of other Schools in Bangkok that do/might?

We have a Mortgage with UOB and a few weeks they called me to say that the info they have on file with UOB doesn't match the info on Citi account. The existing UOB account had my wife's number as my contact number, we updated it on the call. Just tried to create an account on TMW and the sms code didnt come to my phone, but went to my wife's. So I guess they didnt update it. Says I cannot create an account as mobile number already exists in another record. I have to go into a branch, or call a number. Think I'll wait a few days, as no doubt the lines will very busy now.

Looking for the name of these Thai hanging decorations if they have one. Google is failing to come up with a specific name.

They only had one slot available for Visa on Friday, so cant change it. I could go early in the morn to try and get the 90 day done first without an appointment, but knowing what the queuses like don't wanna risk not getting seen before 10am. Also have to take the the wife and kid on the day of visa extension, so dont really wanna be hanging around from the wee hours. I've made an appointment for the 90 report the day before, so think I'll do that so I can be in and out, even if I have to go two days in a row. Thanks for all the replies.

Unfortunately its overdue, so I need to do it first. I think I'll make a trip the day before, as they have an appointment slot free then.

I have an appointment to renew my marriage visa at Chaengwattana on Friday at 10am. I also need to do my 90 report before, but there are no appointment slots before 10am for this. Does anyone know if I can turn up for the marriage visa appointment and they will also process my 90 day report at the same time? Or do I have to do it separately via different desk/officer and they wont combine the two? Thanks

Thanks for all the replies, however can anyone help with the original question? "- TM30 form Part 1 (register her address) - Needs her ID and Blue Book - TM30 form Part 2 (register me at the address) - Does she need my passport or a copy? Submit at Chaeng Watthana is that is, am I missing any steps or forms?"

Yes that's correct, as I mentioned she was unemployed at the time. My friends were surprised, because they had been following a certain guide and checklist which told them to include photos, emails, txt messages, etc to prove the relationship. They thought my application would be denied when I told them what I supplied with the application. However on the UK Gov website, it specifically said to not send any such documents. I guess the rent agreement in her name and my Visa and Work Permit was enough to prove the ties here, as that's all I supplied along with the very short letter saying we had been together 6 years. They also rang her up and asked her questions for around 10 mints. This were things such as how to spell my full name, what is my job and what does it entail, where my parents lived, what were their names, what dates were we planning to go, where we were planning to go when there, etc.

Well I disagree and believe its correct to worry over each requirement and ill tell you why. Last year I went to CW to change the reason for my extension of stay from work to marriage. I was told I cannot change the reason for extension of stay because I came into the country so many years ago on a Non-B and I need to change to a Non-O visa. (this is legally fine as I understand, you can extend and change the reason for extension of stay indefinitely). They said they would only grant me a new extension of stay if I paid them a 15k bribe! So if immigration officials are open to demanding bribes from you when you have all documents in order, the chances of it happening when you dont have all your required docs are surely even higher.

I'm not worried about a fine, I'm worried about having my application denied

It may be the owner of the residences reasonability to file a TM30. However if I need it to apply for a new extension of stay, and turn up without it and the Immigration Officer asks for it, and I state "I haven't got one. its not my reasonability, its my wife's". This is unlikely to go down well and the chances of getting a new extension of stay is thin.

I'm applying for a new extension of stay, which I believe I need a TM30 for when applying.
