Thai Court Rules Traffic Fines Can't Block Vehicle Tax Renewal
In Oman where I worked for some years it was different , you could not renew your yearly car registration without having cleared all outstanding traffic fines. Easy to check and the country had no long outstanding fines and a good disciplined traffic. Thailand should change the law in this sense as it will improve the payment of fines in time, the force payment will give a boost to better traffic behavior, so a win-win situation -

Retirement with 800k in the bank - do you need a 12 month overview or just last 3
IN Bangkok at Chaengwattana if you are using banked money method for a yearly extension where you also used banked money method the year before they request you get the year detail transaction report printed. If you are getting your FIRST yearly extension they will accept 3 months transaction report (although the seasoning requirement is only for 2 months) The reason they're doing this is because no one updates their bank books enough to show the balance ALL the time during the whole year. At most banks if you don't update the book in 21 days all it will print is a summary of money in/money out not a detail of every transaction This becomes a problem when you go to apply for the year extension from a previous extension because they need to check you kept the 800K baht in the bank for three months AFTER your extension was issued last year, then that the balance never went below 400K baht the rest of the year until it got back up to 800K a minimum of 2 months before you apply for this next extension. There's just no way to do it from a bank book that's not updated regularly.. I did have one person who has no app, no ATM card, goes to the bank with his bank book/passport for EVERY transaction and he was able to get away without having a year detail transaction report. (actually we had it but it was the same entries as his bank book so I took it out of the packet when he applied and they didn't say anything) One thing to keep in mind is that SOME banks can print that year transaction detail on demand BUT some banks (notably Bangkok Bangkok) seem to have to 'order it' from the head office and it can take 3 to 5 days.. Some people got around this by printing their year transaction report from their mobile banking app (but some immigration offices won't take it because it's not printed on that paper that has the "dot matrix" tear off tabs down the sides and doesn't have the bank stamp on it So you need the detail transaction report, the 'standard bank letter' and you need to update your bank book the date you apply for the extension. BOTH the transaction report and the standard letter can be up to 7 days old in Bangkok, Your mileage may vary 😛 -
