Tm30-new passport
I got a new passport earlier this year and did my 90 days/retirement about a month later, my TM30 is dated 2017 and I wasn't asked to do a new one. My address in Pattaya remains the same as it was in 2017.

Is It Just Me, Or Are Thai Staff Getting Ruder By The Day?

90 day requirements at Immigration
Use an agent 100 Baht, just give them your passport and pick it up the following day, I did it last week,saves all the hassle of going down there.

Hospital charging more for foreigners
Few years back I got bitten by a dog so I went to Pattaya City Hospital for rabies jabs . I needed a course of 4 injections spaced over a period of about a month if I remember correctly, anyway each jab I had in Pattaya was 500 Baht. I happened to be in Buriram when the 3rd jab was due so I went along to the government hospital there and the charge was 20 Baht. Go figure.

Teeth extraction cost
I paid 500 Baht a couple of years ago in Pattaya. This was at a small dentist opposite the Friendship supermarket on the south Pattaya Rd.

K bank E-mail with Tax Forms attached ?
I've had accounts with Kasikorn going back to 1990 when it was Thai Farmers Bank and to date I haven't received any e mails about this, I'm not a US citizen. I reclaimed some tax back around 25 years ago from the interest I paid and had to get a tax number. This is 10 digits, can anyone confirm that this would be the TIN number ?

Which beer brand is your favourite in Thailand? Leo, Chang, Singha, etc.
None really,very poor choice and well overpriced compared to neighbouring countries. Back in the day I used to enjoy a Singha Gold but it hasn't been available for years now.

Frozen pension policy turns British expat's dream into a nightmare
It certainly didn't help the currency exchange rate, £ dropped like a stone after the vote to leave, it has never recovered to pre Brexit levels.

Rock Bands That Should Have Been Bigger?
Rory Gallagher was very underrated in my opinion, a far better guitarist than most and also the Icicle Works, a great 80s band from Liverpool.

Walking Street discos / nightclubs, why are all the usual places completely dead?
It was even better in the 80s when it wasn't called walking street.

Bank printout must show every transaction?
I've never been asked for a 12 month statement, just copies of the pages from the previous 12 months of my bank book. This was at Jomtien Immigration.

Korat to Karasin by bus question
Does anybody know if there are busses that go from Korat to Karasin and roughly what the journey time is. ? I've been trawling the internet and can only find busses that go via Udon that take over 9 hours.
