swm59nj Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 I believe this has to do with Thai citizens. Not expats. But I’m still skeptical about those improvements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha! We have a beautiful, brand new IO, all decked out with very fancy, expensive, office type chairs, fully air conditioned, mountains of parking space, queuing system, loads of (very attractive) staff. Still have to do unnecessary multiple copies of documents that are pulled out and binned, but I guess you can't have everything. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you ever been to ANY teseban/police station/DLT/Post Office/Bank/Immigration office? They are often manned by smug, self-important and stupid people. Adopting a Thai child is filled with so much bureaucratic nonsense it is almost not worth the effort. My friend attended a pre-arranged meeting with a Police chief in Sattahip to be told the manager had gone shopping with his daughter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Public Health slow but fine & cheap ! WORST: my process, hostility, slow, service is Municipal(House Books). Police here continue foreigner harassment but basic ticketing / fine process is decent.

Private Sat TV & Wi-Fi which are govt influenced / licensed are quite bad though. Replaced expensive dysfunctional TRUE Vision with UK Wi-Fi app TV service. 3BB works like a bad Municipal org. My Lady had to do a massive amount of work to get the account sorted out & wifi lines upgraded ! ROADS poorly constructed & maintained the biggest public issue. Municipal Failure AGAIN.

Bank Book and Passport in hand. The teller didn't like my signature on the withdrawal slip. Had to sign 6 Times on 4 more slips before he was satisfied. Good job my signature only requires 5 letters, and is not Alexander Hamilton Cholmondley- Smythe. Never had a problem like this before in all the years at this Branch.
