    Nail Fungus Over the Counter Treatment

    in Health and Medicine

    Posted

    Thanks everyone for your replies.

    I know that topical treatments are basically a waste, but I don't want to worry or deal with the side effects or oral medication.

    I was hoping to find the best-case topical treatment.

    I am still deciding what topical treatment to try but as we all know, it will take months to find out if it helps in any way and then maybe try something else. A never-ending story I'm afraid. Thanks again!!

    Ear wax removal

    in Health and Medicine

    Posted

    For what it's worth, I had both of my ears cleaned of wax with the suction machine at the public hospital here in Khon Kaen and the TOTAL charge was 50 baht!!

    Did have to get there at 7am and waited 4 1/2 hours and the "doctor" looked like he was 21 years old, but all went well.

    Direct depost to Bangkok Bank at BigC Pattaya. Now moved the branch to Pattaya Klang.

    Strange because the SSA started allowing IDD deposits a couple of years ago to any bank in Thailand and there were no stipulations.

    Only stipulation was if the deposits were set up to go to NY branch first and then to your local bank in Thailand.

    First I heard of this.

    Last month I got a letter from Bangkok Bank. It says to inform me about certain adjustments regarding my deposit account with Bangkok Bank.  It says it has come to there attention that I utilize this account for receiving money transfers via electronic system from a US Governmebt Agency (Social Security).  According to the terms and conditions governing this service, the account owner is required to appear in person and present their account passbook at any branch to make withdrawals from the savings deposit account. Further more, the account cannot be used to conduct any transactions through ATM service or any other channel, nor can it be deducted for any purpose whatsoever. (money transfers). Starting 27 May 2024. I can only be able to withdraw funds by visiting a bank branch with passbook. 

    I had to open another account with Bangkok Bank so I can use a ATM card and be able to transfer funds. Has anyone else received a letter like this. 

    Does your SSA deposit go to the Bangkok Bank in NY and then to your account or does it go straight to your Thailand account?

     

    I ask because it has always been that way if your deposit went to the NY branch.

    Khon Kaen Immigration and Credit Advice from Banks

    Yes they do, but you missed the point I was asking - have you checked you can you get a credit receipt from your bank.

     

    When Immigration started accepting monthly overseas pensions transferred to a bank account, you couldn't get a credit advice receipt from your Thai bank as the Bank of Thailand was the receiving bank. It took a visit from a staff member of Bangkok Bank to visit our local office to explain the 'BNT' code was an International transfer before they would accept it.

     

    A UK pension alone transferred through the Bahtnet system wouldn't meet the financial requirements anyway.

    Yes, no problem. I can get monthly credit advice from my local Bangkok Bank branch.

    If your bank statement has the code MCL0101#### you are OK ,this denotes foreign funds transfer from other bank with API system .

    This has been accepted by my IO for the past four years after he checked, ….note , my own Bank didn’t know what this code was.

    The code is BTN which stands for BahtNet. That is the code I am asking about in regards to the credit advice.

    I take it you are having your (UK?) state pension payments paid directly to your Thai bank.

    These payments are issued by Citibank to the Bank of Thailand, who then transfer it to your Thai bank.

     

    Have you checked your Thai bank can issue a credit advice receipt, I'm not so sure if they can as they were not the initial receiving bank.
    You may need an FET form (Foreign exchange transfer form) which are usually issued by the initial receiving bank.

    I know that. If you read my original post, I was asking if the credit advice will be accepted as proof of overseas fund.

    No payments for February yet. This time it looks like it stopped.

     

    IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

    If you did not receive your monthly Social Security payment this month, your benefits have likely been suspended because we did not receive the annual questionnaire form that was mailed to you.

    To reinstate your benefit payments, you will need to print and complete one of the forms listed below.

    • If you are a Social Security beneficiary, please complete Form SSA-7162
    • If you are the Representative Payee for a beneficiary, please complete Form SSA-7161

    When completing the form, please ensure that you include your complete name, address, contact number, SSN and sign the form. Once signed, mail the completed form to:

             Social Security Administration
             ATTN: FEQ
             U.S. Embassy
             1201 Roxas Boulevard, Ermita
             Manila, Philippines 0930

    Once we receive the completed form, we will take immediate action to reinstate benefits. Any past due benefits will be directly deposited into your bank account, usually within 7-10 business days. Thank you.
