  1. I use one but these are the rules they apply in Chiang Mai
  2. Unfortunately as are many of the rules or the way they are interpretation especially in Chiang Mai
  3. My money doesn’t come from the UK but Australia I also have an excellent relationship with the bank staff once I change over it shouldn’t be a problem thanks for you contribution.
  4. Thanks for your reply and information, depositing the funds isn’t an issue it just didn’t seem logical, but then what is at times when dealing with Immigration. The only reason I want to change is as stated, that is , I tire of them trying to claim that the money is not coming from overseas. They don’t seem or want to understand that not everyone receives a government pension, in my case it’s a private pension and I use OFX for the transfer therefore the code they want to see doesn’t appear. It’s just part of the price of living here and their attempt to extract a “fee”. Thanks again for the explanation.
  5. Thanks for the information that was something that did go through my mind however when I renewed the retirement extension I obtained a multiple re entry permit as we will be making two overseas trips next year 2024 so if I followed your method that would somehow need to be cancelled. Looks like I will just deposit the 800,000 baht the monthly money will still come in so that will meet their requirements. Its a crazy system sometimes !!.
  6. I have used the income method for more than ten years to obtain the RetirementExtension at the Chiang Mai Immigration Office. On occasions they have tried to dispute that the income wasn’t sent from Australia as the bank book doesn’t show the code they want. I have been able to provide documentary evidence that the money was sent from Australia and suspect that this was just an attempt to obtain a “service fee” I renewed my extension on Wednesday and mentioned to the Immigration Officer that next year I was going to change to the 800,000 baht in the bank method. He stated that as I was changing method the money would need to be in the bank for one year for the first year. My understanding was that it only has to be in the bank for 2/3 months and made no comment, My original visa was a Non Imm O. I would be interested as to which is correct.
  7. I could loan you one of my Jack Russell Terriers you will never have problems with cats or other vermin including some two legged varieties.

    I wonder if any of the Culinary Buffs might know where I could obtain some Chermoula Paste in Chiang Mai, it's a North African spice mix. I saw some on line but the quantity was far more than I would ever use. Thanks
  9. Thanks for your detailed comments but your view on repairing the puncture from inside with the patch and plug Thanks
  10. I recently had a puncture repaired from the inside of the tyre with a plug that has a rubber washer. It was suggested that I should not use that wheel on the front of the vehicle. I cannot see how this could cause a problem. Interested in other views
  11. The only reason I know that term is that I am a retired lawyer from Australia now 73 years old I specialised in Employment Law and in the early 1980'S was consulted by an Italian man employed in a pronnat a factory as a cleaner He had allegedly committed that act against a younger female in the workplace and his employment was terminated. I was given the opportunity to interview the female and will not repeat her statement here. I advised him that he was fortunate that he he was lucky that he wasn't charged with indecent / sexual assault and that I wasn't representing him at the local police station. My one and only experience of the term frottage in a professional capacity.!!!!!!!
