    No, it is not "specifically excluded" from fraud allegations or charges, state pension payments are excluded from being stopped.   Fraudulent claims can have consequences.

    A fellow expat here had nearly all his State pension stopped to repay the 'excess' funds paid because he didn't tell them he lived in Thailand. He has since died, so I cannot ask him more details.

    A lot of teachers quit after the first month or two so there's possibilities.

     

    If you're from Poland then, as Brit Man suggests, it may not be so easy 

    True, but many don't seem to have a BA in English Studies. In my 'neck of the woods' there are many South African/Eastern European kids teaching. What salaries they get, I have no idea.

     

    Just one thought for the OP, Schools and Universities tend to have different 'rules&regs' here so it might be worth considering both?

    I would estimate that 90% of the Teachers in Thailand have done it this way (including myself at some point in my life). Essentially you would during your initial employment go on a 'visa run' with proper documents from your school/employer and apply for a Non-B visa in a neighboring country (usually Laos). When that 90 day visa is almost up (last 30 days) you apply for one year extension (again with documents from your school) at local immigration office in Thailand.

    Agree. I did it 10 years ago, but the problem right now is that the borders are closed and as Joe mentioned above, it needs a couple of days to be processed.

    Yes that great then.

     

    Do they have enough supply to give Moderna away everyday for the foreseeable future ? Or is it just a small number of doses that they have been given and once they are gone they are gone ?

    Saw a FB advert on Saturday so I guess its for very soon.

    Like I said, his actions were despicable. I was just pointing out that the idea of a 45 year old man living at home with Mum is not unusual in Thai culture. 

     

    As with most news reports, the reasons for the actions are not clear. I am in no way condoning the actions but there could well have been major issues. The Covid pandemic has left many Thais destitute, penniless and mentally broken.

     

    Let's hope this man can turn his life around.

    Lets hope his mother can too, following this despicable action.

    Bakabas- We are building a house now. Nothing big. Any idea what the GENERAL cost per rai is here in the Bush? Dairy cows seems like a lot of effort, unless you got workers. 

    Glad to be here.

    It depends on whether the sellers knows that a 'westerner' is involved

    Really? Banks have changed documents required because of a virus? I would very much doubt it.

     

    What we do know is that different banks, even different branches, have different rules. I have two bank accounts with the same bank but different branches. On branch opened my account with only passport. The other wanted more.

     

    The best thing to do is just go to many places and try your luck. If you are not good at speaking Thai then take your partner or a friend. If your partner has an account at the same branch you should be able to work something out,

    Your experience is different to mine. You haven't answered my question about when was it that you opened your accounts?

    A friend went to every bank in the location that he was staying-in (a non-tourist venue) and everyone had similar rules (if over 50, they wanted a pension providers letter. If working, they wanted to see a WP, which is a bit 'Cart before the horse' IMO. ) This situation made him, resort to using a Pattaya visa agency to get him a bank account.
