For the last couple of years Saraburi Imm has been telling me to submit application for extension 30 days before "run our" date", in reality this usually ends up three weeks before. It would have been no problem getting a three month statement at the same time as updating bank book and getting confirmation letter, if I had known of this requirement. "She who must be obeyed" asked if this was a permanent requirement and was told "yes" orders of the "big boss" in Bangkok. Due to translation difficulties I can't figure out if it applies to all extensions based on "money in the bank" or just Marriage extensions. Of course I asked where this requirement was published and from the grins of the officers, I guessed that, that would have spoiled the enjoyment of seeing red faced Farangs biting their tongues. Normally I have had good relations and few problems with that office but yesterday was definitely an exception.

Just got back from submitting my 26th annual extension based on marriage to a Thai national. everything the same as last year with the exception of a request for a "three month bank statement" as well as the usual updated book and Bank confirmation letter. this caught me unawares as I had not noticed this requirement being published. Fortunately there is a branch of my bank a few minutes drive from the Imm office and had no problem getting the requested statement. (Just a heads up to anybody else unaware of this new requirement). Nibor.

went to do 90 day report arrived at the old PTT station to find the Imm Office had moved a month ago. I'm attaching a map location of where I think I found it, but would appreciate any confirmation https://www.google.com/maps/place/ตรวจคนเข้าเมืองจังหวัดสระบุรี/@14.5296929,100.8318854,12.25z/data=!4m13!1m7!3m6!1s0x311de91185aa76ff:0x4019237450cbaf0!2sPak+Phriao,+Mueang+Saraburi+District,+Saraburi+18000!3b1!8m2!3d14.5270426!4d100.9130244!3m4!1s0x311deb9a0c218171:0x66834056deee3782!8m2!3d14.5527845!4d100.8593274 Nibor

Thanks, I'll take a look.

Ex UK Military, my medals and ribbons (The oldest being 56 years old) are now showing their age. I am reluctant to consign them to the Thai postal system to UK for cleaning and remounting, including the "Pingat jasa Malaysia" medal and another General service clasp to be added to the rest. I can order the bits required to replace ribbons and fitments from UK, just wondering if anybody has any personal experience of a Thai shop that can clean and assemble them "UK style "court mounted" preferably .
