Living alone in Bangkok
It's always good to be among the Japs. Wherever there's Nuru Massage, there's some good Izakaya's. Soi 33/1 -5 good moderate priced J-restaurants, including an eel only place. Next lease may be in Thonglor. There's a lower key J-neighborhood a couple of stops down that I''ll look at too. -

LTR Visa
This post is about my (successfully) obtain an SCB savings account on an LTR-WP visa. A few days ago, my Thai wife suggested I open an SCB Bank account, so to get a "Planet" debit card, which has some benefits that we would likely use (I think it was obtaining a "Dragon pass" (for airport lounge access) if one uses the debit card for more than 20,000 THB transactions in a foreign currency). Most likely we will need to spend >20,000 THB in a different currency, so i went a long with her idea. The thing is, this was suggested to me by my wife at the last minute during a visit to a mall with the bank in the mall. I happened to have my passport with me, and my yellow book (proving residency also) , and Thai driver's license so I said, ok, why not. They wanted to see Yellow Book, and Driver's License and obviously my passport (with LTR visa stamp inside), but they would not let me open a saving account because I did not have my LTR notification letter of endorsement with me. I have various Thai bank accounts (most opened before on a Type-O visa) so it never occurred to me to check the BoI web site, which clearly states, to open a Thai bank account, one must show that LTR notification letter of endorsement. So i went back to the bank a day letter, this time with the stamped BoI Notification Letter of Endorsement (and passport, yellow book, driver's license) and successfully opened a savings account with SCB. I also had online access to the account setup on my smartphone, and an application for the Planet Card initiated, where the card should show up in a week or so. Hence for other's on the LTR visa like me, don't be lazy like I was, but check BoI webpage, before trying to do things like opening a bank account. -

Living alone in Bangkok
That travel agency of yours is well informed. For every area/region/city of Thailand mentioned on AN you apparently have perfect, I assume, first hand information! PS; Which travel site do you get your info from? Just asking for a friend!
