I have no solution to the B800,000 that the Thai government requires to be in my account at all times so will be lost to the Government when I pass on.

The Administrator of my will, a Thai national accompanied me to my bank UOB, and I made him co signatory for two of my accounts. The matter of my Passing was made to the bank staff and they said that this was the acceptable way.
The account with my B800,000 for immigration purposes remains in my name only.
Thanks to all sensible commenters on this thread.

When I did my Thai Will, with Star Visa I was requested to accompany two of their lawyers to the local Ampure Office.
There we registered the Will and both lawyers where required to sign documents along with a Senior official of the Ampure.
I was told by all three that my named administrator would now be able to go to my bank and obtain access to withdraw and money he required on production of the document provided by the Ampure.
Following comments on this thread I today went to my bank, UOB, and asked about the procedure, that they would allow my named administrator access to my bank accounts.
They hummed and hawed then after consulting a more senior lady said NO.
OK I will withdraw all my money and transfer to my SCB account.
After a discussion the lady’s told me to bring my Administrator to the bank and they would do the paperwork for him to be allowed to withdraw money from my accounts on my passing on.
This is acceptable to me and now I have to get him to the bank on working day next week.

I am moving my location in Chiang Mai.
I seem to remember that there is at least one local company exists that will pack up and then transport my belongings.
Can anyone recommend such a company?

I did my Will 10-11 years ago, with Star Visa.
I had to provide full names and Thai ID for my Executor (Thai citizen) and all the Thais in my will.
Two lawyers rom Star Visa accompanied me to the Ampure Office where will was registered and the Thai national my Executor received the Document which allows him to receive the money from my Thai bank accounts and full authorise him.

You can have a civil ceremony almost anywhere, or a legal ceremony at the Amphure Office.
Civil is just shacking up or a Legal ceremony is recognized world wide.

Visited the Garmin shop on Nimman to have my photos of my GPS explained by a very polite well informed young man that my GPS was not Garmin.
Off to the Honda shop where i bought my Jazz and first the mechanic then his supervisor had seen nothing like the problem.
To cut a long story short following phone call to Honda BKK it was agreed to remove the GPS and send it to Honda BKK and they will determine which Japaneses Electronic firm manufactured it then repair and return.

I have a Garmin GPS fitted to my Honda Jazz.
Over the last few months the screen has become "cloudy" on the inside of the screen. Does anyone know if this is repairable and the location of someone able to carry out the task ?
I rarely use the Map for navigation but find it useful for locating services when away from CM ?
