Hi, what are your thoughts on Sin Sod and how is it worked out, do thai families still keep it or do they give it back after the wedding?

My Question: Do I need an Affidavit of Freedom to marry if I am marrying (in Thailand) the Thai citizen to whom I’m already married in my home country?

Greetings! My Son is visiting Phuket for Muay Thai training for two months. He is prescribed Xanax for anxiety. Would he be okay going through customs with that medication? I did not see it on a prohibited list. Thank you.

When I retire here next year, will my US pension and Social Security be taxable in Thailand? Will I be paying Thai taxes and US Federal taxes? I guess at least I won't pay colorado state taxes.

The electric bill in a condo in Bangkok , how long after the due date do they come and actually shut off the power?

Driving license advice please- we have US and Spanish driving license and live in Hong Kong. We have no way of applying for legitimate International driving permits in our home countries online before moving to Thailand in July.

Is it possible to rent a car on arrival without an IDP-if not, anyone know of a solution?

Hi, not visa related.

My bank has informed me that it will close my account when I move to Thailand (won't allow a current account if I no longer live in the UK, I can have an international account with £100,000 deposit and charge £7 a month to use it!)

I have looked around Google, but now my head hurts! 😳😫🤣

Any advice in keeping a UK account while living in Thailand will be much appreciated 👍

(Edit included)

I haven't told my bank, it's information I read on their site, technically I will have a uk address, my son is buying my share of the house and living in it.

Asking for advice on here because of all the smart ass answers but here goes. I'm married to a Thai woman who is in the states. I want to apply for a divorce of our Thai marriage. Can that be done without her presence?

Not a particularly useful anecdote- but maybe helpful to someone.

Just left the office in Chiang Khong trying to get a marriage recorded. While we sat at the window the dude changed his story repeatedly. The essence was "only the office chief can stamp foreigner marriages" at one point he mumbled something about due to the proximity of Laos. He also said the chief was upstairs in a meeting and then changed the story to he was in Bangkok until Wednesday. He also showed us a stack of near 20 sets of documents that he alleged were foreigner marriage packages awaiting review. He advised us to go to the office in Chiang Rai- which we had done and they told us to go to Chiang Khong. I am embarrassed for everyone involved including myself.
