Letter from Bank with statement. Tips recommended.

Hi,

I just got the 12-months extension based on single parent of Thai child recently.

Before that, I had a slight teething problem with bank statement.

Last August, my old fixed deposit book (balance over 400K) was transferred to my new fixed deposit book with better interest (using the same bank).

I put 100B deposit on the same day I applied for extension.

As the result of that, the statement shows 100B with the present date and the balance carried forward shows zero (obviously it does not make sense) in despite the new book shows over 400K with date I received the new book. This matter was solved after the friendly argument with Bank manager but I have to delay the next day to apply the extension.

Tips: I would recommend anyone who open the new fixed deposit account immediately put 100B cash on that same day. This will guarantee the statement will show both the initial balance and the start date.  I know it is not mandatory but better to be safe anyway - the "balance carried forward" without date in Thai system may cause the confusion.
