It has nothing to do with Thai Immigration or Thai Inland Revenue.
It only the Embassy’s doing there own thing.
I wish some people would get there facts straight.

I have been in Thailand just over 15 years.
I arrived Thailand from NZ on a OA Retirement Visa..
July last year 2024 I decide to change to a Non O Visa.
Late in August I went to Cambodia at Chong Chom without a re entry permit.
Came back into Thailand with 60 days.
Went to immigration and started the process.
I later extended for another 30 days.
At the end of November immigration stamp the Non O into my passport.
Surin Immigration at Surin and Kap Cheong were fantastic.
I cannot praise them enough.
800,000 baht is required in the bank.
I was able to do it with a letter from the NZ Embassy.
Not all all Embassies do that now.

These people had insurance and obviously it was not good. Insurance companies are rotten.
But what makes me sick is the many stupid unfeeling and unintelligent comments on here.
I hope the lady gets well soon.

Last year I changed from OA Retirement to the Non O Retirement.
I have my own insurance which was not accepted by immigration.
And at my age.Getting new insurance was not a option.
Especially as the Thai insurance was to me. No good.
So perhaps some of you might want to look at the Non O Retirement.

A British explorer got more than he bargained for during a visit to Thailand’s abandoned Phuket Zoo, uncovering a hidden and haunting secret that left him and his viewers stunned.British content creator Sean King, known for exploring deserted attractions on his YouTube channel @SeanKing5150, ventured into the defunct zoo. What he found was both extraordinary and deeply troubling.
“I thought the animals had been rescued.”King referenced reports that the zoo, which closed in 2021 due to financial woes during the pandemic, had relocated its remaining wildlife to sanctuaries. However, his unsettling footage revealed otherwise.
Wandering through overgrown grounds and crumbling structures, King stumbled upon an ominous pool. Peering into the murky water, the daring explorer realised he wasn’t alone.“No way…mate, they are still in here. Nine, 10, 11…12 crocodiles. You’re having a laugh. Get them out of here!”
The crocs weren’t the only remnants of the zoo’s controversial past. Further exploration revealed a lone tiger and a herd of deer, which the British man suspected were being fed.
“There’s an icebox with sausages in it. This is beyond belief. Phuket Zoo was awful when it was open, and now it’s worse.”
Phuket Zoo, once notorious for alleged animal mistreatment and labelled “hell on Earth for animals” by PETA, made headlines in 2021 when a major rescue operation relocated 11 tigers to a sanctuary, marking Thailand’s largest-ever single placement of tigers, reported LADbible.
Sean’s footage, described as “heartbreaking” by viewers, has reignited calls for accountability.
“I hope someone who can help sees this.”
“Sometimes you just gotta say, ‘Phuket, I’m going in!’”
ORIGINAL STORY: Phuket Zoo to close down following Covid-19 economic destructionPhuket Zoo is the latest casualty of Covid-19 restrictions’ devastation on the island province’s tourism economy. The zoo is closing down, and all its animals have been sent to new homes, according to the owner. The zoo’s owner and operator, 42 year old Suriya Tanthaweewong, told The Phuket News this week that the zoo started to close when the pandemic broke out in 2020, even though the zoo had brought joy to animal lovers for over 2 decades.
“Phuket Zoo had been in operation since 1996. We started to close in 2020. We could not bear the cost because there was no income from tourists coming in.”
When asked what he would like Phuket Zoo to be remembered for, Suriya said he didn’t want to talk about the past. He said, “Let’s just adjust to the current situation”.
The Wildlife Friends Foundation Thailand is now caring for 11 tigers from the zoo, after the foundation prepared enclosures for them. WFFT has also taken in black bears from Phuket Zoo, however, it needs funding to build the bears enclosures. Each enclosure will cost around 14,000 euros, or nearly 520,000 baht. People who would like to help the WFFT build bear enclosures can click on their website HERE.
This news comes after Thailand’s wildlife department has taken a massive cut this year. While the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation used to receive 80 million baht each year to care for animals, this year, the funding wildly plummeted to 30 million baht due to a government cut.
With Thailand’s wildlife department struggling and zoos and animal rescue foundations lacking in funds, who knows what the future of Thailand’s animals holds.

I'm a NZ citizen, and haven't received this email either, and have never filled in any of these forms. I've had an account with KBank (or Thai Farmers Bank, as it was back then) since 1988. Going through this thread it appears that long term account holders haven't received it. It's definitely real though, as their website contains the following pdf file (5 pages in total, this is the one with the email address):
FATCACRS-Self-CertificationCompletion-and-Submission-for-Individuals-en.pdf
I've been asked to do similar with banks / financial institutions in other countries, but in each of these cases, the forms were submitted via their secure websites, not by email.
The self certification form for individuals is here on their website:
From another Kiwi who has been in Thailand for 15 years.
I highly suspect this is a scam.

Be fair. Those assaults were 25+ years ago. It was a different era. They would not get a pass if they did it now.
Sexual assault is a part of the Egyptian culture, so he may have believed he was doing anything wrong.
In Egypt, sexual harassment is a major public threat against women for which there has been no sustainable policy or practice. Such harassment can range from verbal to physical—the latter of which can lead to severe harm and, in some cases, murder. According to a 2013 United Nations report, nine out of ten Egyptian women have been sexually assaulted—ranging from simple harassment to rape. This demonstrates a real problem that requires rapid and sustainable solutions, policies, and advocacy work. There has been extensive public discussion on the topic for the last couple of years, and the state has denied the breadth and severity of the problem.

Then he should have check the laws in countries he intends to visit.
Ignorance is no excuse.
Scum he is.

A few years ago I flew from Brisbane to Darwin.
It was a night on Virgin Blue.
Most of the passengers were Aussies.
And most of them were drunk and causing problems for the crew.
I had nothing but admiration for the crew in how they handled the drunks.
Australian's have drinking problem culture.'
The more they drink. The more loud and obnoxious they are.
