  1. Thank you Lorry and DrJack54. If anyone else has had a different experience (i.e. they demanded to see the TM.30 receipt otherwise no extension) this or last year at Chaengwattana then please let me know. It's quite far out to go there so I'm trying to prevent any repeat visits. I wish I had taken a photo or made a copy of it, then I could've shown that. I never expected anyone to remove the paper receipt from my passport. It makes sense if they could just check their database instead of demanding the paper receipt. However I had stayed at hotels around Thailand, so that would mean that the address in their system would now be different from my usual residence, which can be a problem for extension, right? Or do you guys think they won't even check their database, i.e. they no longer care about TM.30 compliance at Chaengwattana? It'd be good if that's the situation now, as it was strict some years ago, and I had to pay 800 THB.
  2. I have an extension of stay (based on non-immigrant O visa) application coming up in Bangkok so while going through the list of required documents I realized that the TM.30 receipt that was stapled in my passport was gone. I've done a bit of traveling over the past year and used re-entry permits to return so maybe at some stage an immigration officer had removed it. Is the paper receipt actually necessary to show for the extension application, or can they simply check their database to see the same address that I had notified years ago? Or would I have to do a new TM.30 report just to get a receipt to show? I'm hoping that I wouldn't need to do this as it'd require hassling the property owner.
  3. Is this true? I filed online recently to claim withheld tax on bank interest but didn't upload any papers. Are we meant to?
  4. Did you continue and did it work? I've found that THC (but not really CBD) helps with anxiety.
  5. I noticed in Air Asia Ride there are options like "quiet driver", "new car", "English speaker". I had the idea that there should be entertainment options like "Play own music via bluetooth", which could improve the experience for us, especially for long rides e.g. during traffic (recently I was in a cab for 4h due to traffic which would've taken 0.5h without). I know we could just use our earphones but feeling the bass from the car's system is more enjoyable. Maybe taxi cabs could even offer video screens on which we could watch YouTube videos etc. I know we could watch things on our own smartphones but it can cause motion sickness whilst in a moving vehicle.
  6. Have you ever been annoyed by the music that the driver put on in the cab that you are riding? How has your experience been in telling them to turn off the music? Have you ever been successful in connecting to the car's sound system via bluetooth to play your preferred music?
  7. There's also InDrive. I might try it one day. All Thai Taxi had shut down, right?
  8. Here's a clearer version: It looks like this is simply a formal approval. It says nothing about agreement that it'll be the personal property of the spouse and not marital property, so maybe that'd be a separate document. That could be the key to ensure that the wife can't take 50% of it upon divorce, and also when it comes time to sell, consent from her would no longer be required. You sure wouldn't want your wife preventing the sale of your property when you want to sell.
  9. Are you going by boat?
  10. I know, but if it ever happens to you then may also like to know the procedures.
  11. What are the steps to report and claim compensation for physical injury that was caused by unsafe pavement and that required professional medical treatment?
  12. Wow, so there could be risks involved if a man buys or sells property in Thailand without his wife's consent (and vice-versa). This needs looking into.
  13. "earned during the marriage" doesn't cover money that was received as gift or inheritance, right?
  14. I wasn't sure what the consent form was about, I was just reading around and many sites mention a form e.g. "Spouse Consent Form (If married)" at https://freshbangkok.com/guide-buying-investing-bangkok-condos-foreigners. So is there only this one form that she'd sign, and is it about agreeing that the property will be the foreign husband's personal (not marital) property? If so, then even if wife's consent isn't required, it would be better to get it (if possible), right? Also, how about when it comes time to sell the property... on that web site under the heading "Seller Document Preparation" it also lists "Spouse Consent Form (If married)". What is that about? Foreign husbands need the wife's agreement to sell the property? What if he didn't get the wife's consent when he bought it?
