It appears everyone is unsure. The problem is that there's no clear written rule / regulation by government that definitively answers the question. Maybe I should have asked more specifically: Have Bangkok Immigration staff (at Chaengwattana) lately been checking bank balance (again) when applicants return to collect the extension of stay approval stamp? I usually park my money in SCB EZ Savings account that earns 1.5%/y, so 400k THB would earn almost 500 THB over 1 month. It's a "small" amount but I'd still prefer to get it than get nothing. But the point is that all of us would rather want the freedom to do what we want with the money than to have it stuck there for longer than is necessary. What is "necessary" is the question.

After keeping over 400k THB for at least 2 months in a bank account and then submitting an application for extension of stay, are we still required to keep at least 400k THB in the same account afterwards while the submission is under consideration (which could be for another 3w)? I want to move the money ASAP to a different bank account that earns much higher interest. I couldn't use that account for extension of stay because the bank doesn't give a passbook for it.

How about small clinics? How about hospitals or clinics in other countries? Can and do they really check these?

I'd like to know more about how insurance companies can check your medical records, especially when you've made a claim. Which hospitals can they check, and which can't they check? Every hospital in the world? Only big ones? How about non-hospital clinics? e.g. I once visited the Department of Thai Traditional and Alternative Medicine (DTAM) and got prescribed some medicine there by a doctor. Could insurance companies discover such a record? Do hospitals give insurance companies access to their database so that they can check any time, or must insurance companies make a request and wait?

I flew back into Thailand last week yet I received an email (with subject "[TM47] Notification for alien before the next appointment.") saying that my "receipt for notification of "STAYING LONGER THAN 90 DAYS" " will be due in 2 weeks, as if I hadn't departed and re-entered the country (or they don't have such a record). The correct deadline should be most recent entry date + 89 days, right? Did Immigration make a mistake?

There has been some internal shuffling there.

I'm also in the process of transferring funds to buy property without knowing exactly which building. I've been making transfers via Wise which lets us select "Property purchase" in a dropdown list. Though I've heard you may not even need to write the exact reason, as long as the bank receives funds as "International funds transfer". When you've found a place and are ready to pay, you can visit the bank to have them create a letter based on those past International funds transfers. The letter would show details of the property and that the money came from abroad. To those who have experience in the process, is my thinking correct?

Do they still require us to keep the money in the account for another 30d until collection, which means we'd need to keep the balance above the minimum for at least 3 months?

I'm not sure if there's an LH Bank ATM at Chaengwattana to do a passbook update on the application day (after making a deposit). I think they only have ATMs at their branches.

I leave my money in an LH Bank account because it earns high interest (1.5% per year). The account has a passbook (unlike most other high interest savings accounts e.g. SCB's EZ Savings) which could be used to show to immigration (I've had issues in the past with passbook-less high interest accounts). But there's no LH Bank branch at Chaengwattana, so it'd be difficult to do a passbook update and get a bank letter on the same day of application. Would doing the passbook update and bank letter on the day before application still be accepted?

Are Jardiance, Levodopa and Carbidopa easily available in Bangkok? If so, around how much do they cost? If they are expensive, what are the closest alternatives to these and how much do they cost?

Wash in kitchen sink.

Cheap brick weed. I was thinking growers may spray it on their plants, so the chemicals may just sit on the plants. So I was wondering if such chemicals could be washed off. Smoked as joints, though I may switch to vaporize. Oh, what are the health issues related to mold? What can be done about it?

I'm worried that herb we buy may be contaminated with pesticides etc. We don't exactly know the processing (e.g. washing fresh plant) that have taken place before our purchase. Cannabis is still an unregulated industry so safety controls may vary. What would be our options to get rid of contaminants? Would it be good to wash the herb before consuming (as we do for fruits and vegetables), then redry?

Please provide link where we can get 1kg for 2,000 THB.

At which Thai markets have you guys seen cheap weed? By cheap I mean < 5 THB / g. How about at Chatuchak or Or Tor Kor?

Where do you get 100g for 30 THB?

The attraction could be that no money needs to be paid upfront - the lender pays and you've got solar power installed without paying anything. The interest rate would determine the size of regular repayments, and if "each household could repay the loan with money saved from their electricity bills" then it could be a good deal. It would be interesting to hear the experiences of people who've gone ahead with this deal.

Does the Land Department really check for the "Purchase of Property" description? I had brought in funds via SWIFT in the past for extension of stay purpose, but was thinking of including them now for property purchase.

I'd only be ready to buy when I've found a place that I want, but I don't know when that'd happen. When it does happen I may not be able to send e.g. 200k USD quickly. So I'd rather gradually build up the chest in Thai bank accounts so that it'd be ready when I've found a place. Can there be multiple FETs / letters for a property transaction to show to the Land Department (e.g. from different banks), or must there only be 1?

Do you mean the transaction history in internet / mobile banking doesn't show it as "International"? Maybe in their backend they see it as international, and would then produce a letter. Have you attempted to get a letter from Kasikorn in the past?
