The article did not adequately explain why it took seven years for their testimony to come forward. 

Busy. They were busy.

I know the feeling.

House , wife , car , motorcycle , business , elderly mother , big garden , 4 dogs . Visa to service.

Busy is an entirely plausible excuse these days.

Society loses another one , probably two , valuable members.

Tell that to the Yellows with their hand-clappers, whistles and other paraphenalia.

 

Worked for them.

 

 

True , but they were trying to end democracy which dovetails nicely with the juntas agenda.

Not so effect when used by the anti junta protesters.

The Bhumjaithai party has made clear that it will not support General Prayut Chan-o-cha as the next prime minister if the Palang Pracharat-led coalition alliance does not control at least 251 votes in the 500-member House of Representatives.

Unless of course you give them loooooooaaaaaaaaaaaads of moneu under the table in which case they will do as they are told.

There is no 'for extension of Visa' option as the reason of transfer.

The correct option is the last one 'Funds for long term stay in Thailand'.

You are right. I stand corrected. I did not bother to look up the exact wording.

thanks for the correction.

There where protesters   but they where swiftly rounded up taken away for "attitude adjustment" camps for weeks at unknown locations,threats made to family members  some went into exile overseas.

Yes, and very brave those few protesters were. 

But what is clearly needed is a massive turnout of outraged citizens with numbers that can't be threatened or bullied ......... only shot. And the protests need to be nationwide in every major city otherwise , once again , they will fail from lack of mass support.

I have one FTT 75k transfer from July 21st. If I do another one August 3rd and go to IO couple days after, will there be some issue with the dates? Should I wait til Aug 20th-22nd to do the other transfer? I know it's a silly question but I just wanna cover all bases.

 

Additionally I have over 12 months of 40+ transfers with Transferwise to BKK Bank account from Europe, but not none of them have the FTT code.

It is never silly to try and cover yourself against all potential problems. Forewarned is forearmed.

I don't know myself if the exact date of the transfers are important. Ubon Joe would be the man better informed on that although I guess if the dates were closer it wouldn't hurt and might help.

When getting money sent by Transferwise you have to specify reason for transfer. Be sure you tick the box marked ' for extension of visa ' to make sure you get the correct code in your bank book..

Last month I knew absolutely nothing about any of this but have , like you , been obliged to swot up on it by reading every relevant thread in the hope that I will do things correctly and to the best advantage.

Anybody at all would have been right to protest immediately after the coup.

The passage of time can not alter the fact that military coups are illegal and never right.

People should have felt outraged at the overthrow of democracy engineered by a few self serving politicians and generals egged on by a minority of the urban population living under the false impression that they are somehow better people than everyone else.

Still curious if "savings and investments" will suffice as explanation in most IOs for the 2 months of 40k? And how often do they actually ask for proof with the 2x 40k method?

You need to show them you Thai Bank Account book. 

In it , the international transfers should be clearly coded. In the Bangkok Bank the code is FTT. 

In addition , if you use TransferWise you can download a PDF file on A4 paper that is written confirmation of each individual transfer with all the relevant information.

Don't all these important people who cling to their positions and fear losing face have any shame when their actions make them lose face, credibility and any sense of decency before the world?

No. Obviously not.

Expect nothing from these low life and you won't be disappointed.

I was in Thermae in Bangkok for a few minutes last night. As it opened there were a few over 30 girls, and less than 10 guys. I think only the waiters were wearing masks. I was there to talk to one of them for an old friend who is out of town. But the girls were looking good, albeit a little desperate.

I was in Thermaes 40 years ago.

Most popular song was ' Last train to London '

I missed that train but about ready to catch the last plane.

The name might be the same but that is about all.

The times have changed,

Indeed they have and I can't think of any country where they have changed for the better.

I was watching a couple of vlogs from guys who have spent a lot of time in China but have now thrown in the towel as the country has become increasingly xenophobic.

Not possible.  With Transferwise you can transfer funds "into" Thailand but not out.

Thanks. I thought not. Too easy.

Is it possible to use TransferWise to move a large amount from my Bangkok Bank account to my UK account or is this not possible ?

I want to know how an indecent decent expat can find an indecent decent woman ?

It's so comforting that the evils of vote buying with populist policies dabbled in by Thaksin are a thing of the past.

Go junta go .
