As I posted earlier... The final stamp will be issued. 

You are not first that did not maintain funds during under consideration period. 

You at worst will be reminded to maintain the funds.. Next time. 

BTW: Hope some bad breaks are behind you and family

Thank you. Will let you know how it goes.

That's a bit harsh.  Not everyone is in the same financial position and I'm sure if there were funds available they'd be on their way already.  Nevertheless hopefully your advice proves to be the case and the extension is stamped without further ado.

Yeah, thanks.

@DrJack54 As I mentioned I have to make an urgent sizeable payment from here tomorrow, and moving funds here from overseas can take 2-3 days. In that interim period I will dip below 400k unless I borrow from a friend here first and repay when the funds arrive. I would just rather avoid troubling anyone if it is not too risky.

Thanks.

Hi,

I did my non O extension renewal last month and have the usual "under consideration" stamp to go back on 14th July. All good. All docs, financials etc were spot on.

Just today something unexpected came up and I need to make a fairly chunky payment tomorrow which will see me dip under 400k. I can move some money here but not in time. I am sure there is no question as they have a full 6 month statement in my application and it's always been well above 400k.

Is there any chance they may ask to see my bank balance again when I go back on the 14th? It didn't happen last time and I have never heard of it, but it is bothering me. Has anyone heard of this happening? Are we officially required to keep the money seeded until final approval, or only until the application? Do I have any need to worry? If so maybe I can borrow from a Thai friend in the interim to cover me until my funds arrive, but I would rather not if I don't have to.

Thanks for any advice.

I have to say that I'm finding the amount of hassle involved for those of us who, like myself, aren't whizzo IT geeks in order to be able to watch the games subscribed to - not to mention the additional expense involved if, as in my case, we don't already possess the necessary kit beyond a smartphone - extremely off-putting in signing up for these deals.

 

I also have my doubts as to whether we're likely to get anything like the comprehensive service provided by True for 199/299 THB pcm or 1,999/2,999 THB pa. As the saying goes, if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is!

 

I was paying 2,700-something for True per month. For internet and the Platinum Package. I got shocking service, especially when the internet went downhill and I asked to cancel it - "Cannot, as it is a package with the TV". Finally cancelled it all now but they didn't make it easy.

I have been an AIS customer for maybe 25 years, always got good service. Not sure why you are emailing them - call them, they speak English!

As AIS are not making the coverage themselves, they are taking a feed from Sky or the other broadcasters, so it will be exactly the same. I don't care if we don't get the match build up or the English half time punditry - we didn't get that with True either. 

The only other thing I will miss from True is the F1, but a year's subscription on Bein for F1 is 1,199. So I will be getting a year of all premier league, FA Cup, and F1 for the price of one 1.5 months' of True.

Thanks for that good info.

 

Actually thinking about it .... I have already got 2 Android Boxes. But no idea how to load Apps. I not the sharpest.

 

Hey Ho. I may need to pay my Thai techy guy, that I know to sort. 

 

At the moment I am still hoping for Mono to answer my 5 emails re why my smart TV does not let me log on to their app. My email is not being recognised by the TV but is on my tablet.

 

Maybe I can only have 1 apparatus, not the 2 I understand it to be. A reply from freaking Mono would help. Not impressed !

I know from a friend who subscribed that you are definitely only allowed to be signed in on one device at a time. So if you are signed in on your tablet you can't sign in on your TV. Obviously I don't know if that is the issue in your case, but the one device thing is properly enforced.

I have got a subscription and got it ( Monomax ) up and running on my tablet. Frustratingly, I cant get logged in directly on my Smart TV.  The freaking thing does not recognise my email or phone nr .. but I am obviously using the correct details as per my profile, I can see them, on my profile in their App on my tablet.

 

Their support is non existent.  Many mails to their support email go unanswered.  

 

Hey Ho ....  

 

Anyways .. re your post ... there is a Monomax box.  There are many YouTube videos and reviews, about them. The reviews I can select English translate and they all good.

 

But the videos are all in Thai, that I cannot understand.  1,000 baht on Lazada. Seems reasonable price, if the freaking signing in complication can ever be overcome !

 

I should not need one, having their App on my Smart TV ...... but might be a plan B to avoid casting from my tablet. 

 

It is a shame you cant get a box from a 3BB shop,  all ready to plug n play.

I got an AIS Play box when I installed AIS fibre a couple of months ago so got that set up today. It has Monomax and Netflix and all the usual apps pre-loaded, but it is essentially an Android box so you can install whatever you like. And via AIS the premier league is only 199 baht a month which is just crazy cheap. They also have some really good cheap entertainment packages: HBO Max, Disney +, Netflix etc.

Kneecap also urged people to kill their local (Tory) MP. Two Tier Keir seems happy to let that one go. 

 

Disgraceful considering what happened to David Amess and Jo Cox. 

 

Rap trio Kneecap will not be charged for allegedly calling on people to "kill your local MP", London's Metropolitan Police has said.

https://www.rte.ie/news/ireland/2025/0630/1521006-kneecap-terrorism-charge/

 

What's it got to do with Keir Starmer? Did you reads the link you posted? You didn't did you, you just saw the headline.

They said it at a concert in 2023. It was only 17 months later that someone showed the video to police and made a complaint.  For summary offences charges must be brought within six months of the incident happening, not 17 months later.  Do you expect Keir Starmer to have the power of time travel? Can he tell the police to ignore the law on statutory time limits for summary offences? Why are you blaming him exactly? 

It was a nasty and stupid thing to say and they should have been reported earlier so they could have been charged under the Public Order Act. But they weren't, but yeah, Keir let it go, right?

I will admit now that there are arrests on this case but I don't expect to have to google whats happening in te news. This has been quietly put under the carpet for fear of ongoing tensions. If I remember Rochdale Police Station was the scene of a large Group of Muslims demanding the police officer come outside and answer them .

Right, so first of all you said they were not arrested (because they are Muslim). Then when I tell you that they were arrested, charged, and brought to trial you double down and say it's been swept under the carpet. It's just utter nonsense, it was widely reported in the press and on the news at the time. You want them to re-report it maybe once a week just in case BarraMarra missed it?

Really, it's best to stop digging.

Like most cases like this joseph it is not publicly reported on so demonstrators can't turn up at the court demanding the law being upheld so its kept out of the press. Its been going on for over a year already now another few months till there in Court if they turn up. Post on a website your locked up in 2 weeks. A serving police officer was assaulted causing a broken nose yet they were not held in custody.

What??? So are you admitting you were wrong and they were actually charged and are going to trial, or not?  You said they weren't charged. And it WAS publicly reported on. BBC, Sky, Guardian, Daily Mail (!), literally EVERYWHERE. So it WASN'T kept out of the press, was it? How do you convince yourself of the nonsense you come out with? A simple Google search would help you in future.

The case was complicated because there were counter complaints of a police officer stamping on one of their heads - it was caught on CCTV. So every side needed to be looked at: it is called due process and is the course of justice. Once that was investigated the officer was cleared of all accusations and charges were pressed against the assailant.

What is your problem with that? You don't like justice that follows the rule of law? Due process should not be followed for brown people?

Sorry what is your comment trying to prove? I can't comment on the country I grew up in, most of my family and childhood friends live in, and that I visit several times a year because I earn my living and have a family in Thailand?

You want me close my business and move back to make you happy?

I'm not going to spend all day posting videos but for the few that don't know every major prison in the UK is run by Muslims tthe Prison Officers are so scared to offend them they allow them to be Radicalised with threats and intimidation. Prison officers have had to relocate there familys to a safe house due to threats from inside a prison.  A police inspector halted a case in Bradford or Sheffield when an inspector tried to look into grooming gangs he was told to drop it for fear of bringing up racial tensions in that area. And for now this one 3 Muslims attacked police at Manchester Airport last year breaking a female officers nose no charges have been submitted.

Keep up to date with your imagined nonsense. 

They were charged on 20th December, appeared in court on January 16th, plead not guilty. And there will be a trial starting tomorrow.

I know you get angry at justice taking its course, especially when brown Muslims are subject to the same proceedings as your beloved white people and your imagined legal favouritism is shown to be false. But yeah, just repeat the lies anyway. They got away scot free, right?

No, he really wouldn't. If he did that I would happily praise him. Not likely though is it?

What a stupid thing to say.

I could also say he could walk down the street naked, punch orphans in the face, and his supporters would still say that was a genius move.

         If you are not convinced Look at the Lord mayor of London Sadiq Khan currently enjoying his 3rd or 4th time as mayor?  who do you think voted for him ? 

Londoners did.

Do you think London has enough Muslims to out vote the general populace? What an idiot, and you clearly know nothing.

Can you tell me the voting population of London? It's around 6 million. How many voted last time? And how many Muslims are there? Work it out.

So its inevitable that eventually , one of these savages...........<snipped out the rest of the bile>

So Sadiq Khan is a savage is he? What acts of savagery has he committed? Or is you hate filled bile just based on ignorance?

You're really trying to compare Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter and Game of Thrones to some random Jurassic Park movie? If this was the original jurassic park I would agree, but this rehash movie will do nothing to move the tourism needle. The Beach brought in huge tourists because the movie was almost made for it targeting 20 something backpackers, this jurassic park is targeting mostly children.

And Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter were not for children? And no adults go to watch Jurassic Park? Really??

OMG, a Muslim Council of Britain!!!  Do you know what they do?

There is also a Christian umbrella organisation called Churches Together in England (CTE) - OMG!!

There is also a Jewish umbrella organisation called Board of Deputies of British Jews - OMG!!

There is also a Buddhist umbrella organisation called Network of Buddhist Organisations (NBO) - OMG!!

Interestingly the Jewish group has a political lobbying arm whereas the others don't.
