    Go and get the TAG from either, an office on the tollway, usually situated after you have passed through the toll booths, or as other posters have said, from a KTB bank branch. You pay a 1000 thb deposit, as such, but the whole of the 1000 thb is credited to the TAG. As you pass through the "Easy Pass" booths it will display your remaining balance on the booth screen.  

    You can top up either at 7/11 with the plastic card given with the TAG or at any KTB branch ( usually takes 24hrs for the credit to hit your TAG) or Tollway offices (instant top up). Hope this helps.

    To add to the above, you can use your phone banking to top up using the serial number on the card, doing so this way has been instant and much quicker than the old paying a top up at the booth system. 

    I wasn't sure about the deposit being credited 100% to your usable balance, but perhaps I'm confusing that with the original TAG system where there was a device deposit collected.

    Adeposit which incidentally I didn’t manage to get the refund on yet! as I didn't have the same passport I'd used to register available at the time of changing over from TAG to EasyPass

    I will wait till it dies, as we can get a my father-in-laws pick up to drive into the local town and get one there, suffice to say, worse case scenario, it doesn't start one day, kids can go to school in the father-in-laws pickup, we buy the battery while there and change it ourselves.

    Fair enough as long as there's a back up vehicle to give it a jump.

    Coming from a cooler climate I'd been used to batteries that gradually failed, slow cranking of the engine.. basically giving warning signs that they were on the way out or about to die, here with the exception of a motorcycle battery, they have been perfect until the day they fail and are definitely not up to starting the vehicle.

    Not that simple, I went into a place that changed my tyres after 6 months as I had a reading on my screen that the battery was low, this place also sold batteries, hence the reason I went there, the same guy that sold me the tyres, did a reading on the battery, I caught the reading by the corner of my eye, he said need to change battery, car 3 years old, got a price, 3,000 if memory serves me right, didn't change the battery, drove home, searched Google on the reading, nothing wrong with the battery, as it charged itself up after the hour drive to get the battery checked.

     

    I later found out that the wife was leaving the rear on the pick up, in the raised position overnight and for days on end which was drawing power from the battery, so pulled the fuse out and all good, been 4 months now and still fine, suffice to say, that bloke just lost my future business.

    I'm not sure if I'd be too quick to dismiss this guy suggesting renewing at 3 years as he's thinking he's saving you a flat battery non start in the near future.  Sure I've had a battery last 5 years, but that's not the norm for here, I usually end up replacing batteries when they reach 3 years old, as that's pretty much their lifespan in Bangkok. In UK it's maybe 8-10 years.

    i sent a registered mail stamped envelope for the return receipt.

    Thanks. I've only just today received a  response to my two attempts to try and register online.

    One is from my attempt 6 weeks ago and the other about 10 weeks ago. Reason given was  "insufficient documents" I'll persevere but meanwhile I'll follow your example and post in my next TM30.

    Thanks.

    The point of my post is that KRUNGSRI don't issue a passbook, only an ATM card

    Sent from my RNE-L22 using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app
     

    I don't have an answer for you, however I'll share my experience last month with CW Immigration, when I submitted my bank statements to show an annual monthly average inbound transferred amount in excess of the required 65k.

    The officer would not accept my bank statements from my Kasikorn current account and as I'd been using Transferwise I also had all of their transaction receipts along with the outbound statements from my UK bank.  

    The Immigration officer insisted that I had to show a bank book showing the income. Current account wasn't acceptableas there wasn't a bank book..

    I said I understand and can do that going forward, however I can't rectify the past years method of transferred amount to my current account. She then asked if I had a deposit account and my response was yes, however I hadn't made any international inbound transfers into that account for the past few years. She said that if I could make just one transfer of minimum 65k and then she will be able to process my extention, transfer duly done that same evening and the following week it shows in my account passbook (I actually made a second transfer as I thought after a day or so of not seeing it appear, that I'd made a mistake), all updated to show that income of 65k and my visa was extended for another year.
