Is it because Jennifer Williams is incompetent at her job, because she’s a ‘never Trumper’, a secret Democrat.

 

 

Or is it because Jennifer Williams is a first hand witness to Trump’s call with the Ukrainian President and has given testimony under oath to the Congressional Investigating committee?

No it's because she is one of those career state department employees whose only loyalty is to the constitution.  I must admit like one of those US Embassy employees that I bad mouthed when they stopped issuing the Income Affidavits.

But on the other hand. Rasmussen does show give him a 1 point edge in popularity.

He might have a point edge in the polls but IMHO it's totally due to his popularity as he continues to dominate the news cycle be it good or bad, mostly bad. Trump is on a person's mind and when asked whether it's Trump or Biden they say Trump!  Then they ask "what was the question:?

Shopee finally admitted via e-mail that the desktop pc website cannot be changed to English, only the phone App:  " Pertaining your inquiry, we are sorry to inform you that some features in Shopee App may not be appear on browser site/PC/desktop version. Therefore, there is no option to change language as how in the Shopee App."  I placed my 14246 baht order with Lazada, about 500 baht more expensive than Shopee, and one item has already been delivered and installed and the other is on it's way via TP Logicists (Thai Parcel) as is too big for Kerry Express.

Does anybody know how to change the language to English on Shopee?  I managed to register and can log in following the directions on the Philippine site which is in English, and even manage to get the product to my basket but that's as far as I can get.

There's a detailed explanation on google for the "phone app" but the website doesn't come up with the same displays on my PC that are on the explanation. I asked their support team the question and got an email addressed to estellaphu, whoever that is, that did not address my question so I asked them again and they haven't answered.

In july I got a bank statement for 6 months feb-July then next January I will get the remaining 6 month balance aug-Jan. 

Would this be ok? It will still show 1 deposit every month for 12 months accompanied by the bank letter snowing the account is still active. 

 

I did this last July for the 6 months because Bangkok bank can make the statement same day for 100bht 

Last year after I knew that I had to do this, I printed out a 6 month statement from BLK, all that is available on line , and took it to my local immigration office, Nakhon Sawan. and ask if two 5 month statements from the internet was okay and she told me NO!  She said that I have to get an "official" 12 month bank statement from the bank.  My branch requires that you fill out a request form and it takes 4-5 business days as it comes from Bangkok.  The branch can only issue the bank balance letter on the same day.  SO as I said earlier I got the statement and went to immigration and they told me that I also needed the bank letter sowing the current balance that day.  This was their current policy and I got the bank statement at a local branch near immigration.  The lady at the bank said that it happens "all of the time". This what Nakhon Sawan required 2 sdays ago.

My IO has always wanted the letter dated same day. They'll accept it from the day before if I then get an ATM slip to show the balance s still unchanged.

 

This is regarding the letter certifying you own the account and it's details, which is very easy to get.  For the statement showing 12 monthly international transfers, which can be more complicated to get and in some banks may involve a trip to a HQ branch,  that can be issued earlier as long as it documents monthly transfers for the prior 12 months.

This was the statement showing the 12 monthly FTT transfers which I picked up yesterday morning at my Bangkok Bank Branch on the way, kinda, to Nakhon Sawan Immigration about 100 kilometers further on.  I actually asked the bank if I needed a letter and they said no.  I had to apply, in person, at the branch last week as it has to be generated in Bangkok and takes 4-5 business days.  When I got to immigration she asked for the letter showing the balance in the account.  I was able to get one from the BBL branch that was not too far from Immigration and the girl there said that it "happens al of the time".  I was happy that they didn't make me go back to my branch to get it.

Since to baht is strong and seems to be getting stronger I asked about the combination method for next year, she said that I could still use it.  If the baht goes below 29 to the dollar I'll have to. I get a private pension also  but they won't deposit it into a foreign bank even if they have a branch in the US.

It  just seemed ridiculous to have to get a letter that showed that there was 645 baht in the account.  I transfer the money into another account that has ATM and internet access when it arrives.

I scan my passport and the latest extension, copy them into word and reduced them to wallet size.  I them laminate them back to back and carry it in my wallet.  I never carry my passport unless I'm going some place that I know that I will need it, namely immigration to get the next years extension.

Don't "launder" Thai 1000 baht notes as it washes off the id that they look for under black light.  I once tried to pay mu phone bill at TOT with one and the clerk called the police when it flunked the test!

I used to do my yearly retirement extensions using the Income Affidavit from the US Embassy.  Since they no longer issue the letters this year I had to use the proof of 65k/month method.  I do my extensions in Nakhon Sawan.  The BBL branch that I use said that I had to fill out a request and that it would take 4-5 working days to get the bank statement.  I did that and drove to NS and was told that in addition to the bank statement I needed a letter from the bank stating the balance of the account on that day, even though I had the bank book and a bank statement showing the balance, a whole 645 baht.  I got the letter at a local branch and went back and the extension went quickly as she had processed all of the paperwork while I was at the bank.  I ask her why she needed the letter showing 545 baht and explained to her that the account is an owner only account required by the US government for government pensions and that I transfer all/most of the money to another account that has ATM and internet services.  All that she said was "it's the rules"!

So, at lest at the Nakhon Sawan Immigration office, you need both the 12 month bank statement showing that at least 56k/month is deposited but a letter, issue on that day, that show the current balance in the account.

I came to Thailand permanently in late 1997 and had a business and lived in a rental in Samui.  If the landlord ever filed a TM30 I don't know.  I dealt with Samui immigration.  I built a house in Nakhon Sawan Province and moved in in 2000 but still had the business in Samui and "commuted" a couple times a month until I sold the business and moved here permanently in 2004.  I changed my address and dealt with Bangkok until they opened the office in Nakhon Sawan.  I have been dealing with Nakhon Sawan since then.  The land/house is in my wife's name and I know that we never filed a TM30 and immigration has never said anything on my previous extensions.  I have to do my yearly extension later this month and with the "crackdown" and the new financial requirements since I can no longer get the income affidavit from the US Embassy it might be interesting. My wife died almost five years ago and I have a court order appointing me as the "sole executor" of her estate.  I'm going to take the land deed and the court order with me to immigration and see what happens.  I certainly am not going to raise the issue.  It's a good thing that it's a one time fine and does not increase each month that you miss after all I guess that I am responsible since I am the executor of her estate and have not transferred the property to another Thai.  I wonder if they will charge me the 2000 baht fine and make me file a TM30?  As I said it could be a day to forget!

Actually it looks like true is preempting the regular NFL Network broadcast withe the games.  They used to show them on 677.  The.  The games being shown on TS HD, 666, at 0000 ad 0330 will be replayed later today on 666. The Rams at 1630 and thecolts at 2130.

I,m looking at getting PVR, the service is actually free, but you have to have a 500GB eSATA external hard disk to connect to the box.  The price from True is ridiculous, 3,999 baht, so I'm looking at either a docking station for an internal drive  or a converter from USB to eSATA.  The key operative word is eSATA as most external drives only have USB ports.
