if you must use an agent, and I never would, at least put your passport in the man’s hand. That way you can be sure at least that it reaches him and is not lost in the post which would be a major headache. He could still lose it anyway, but at least you did everything you could at your end.

@Roberto ********

thanks for addressing the question I asked. I just discovered that the post office is closed for the next few days so I’m not going to be able to follow my plan after all. Thanks for your comment.

@Phil *******

sorry I must’ve missed that. I thought I read that she’d already got help from others in the building to move out. Anyway, the landlord took 40,000 THB from the deposit so if they have any common sense, theyll simply accept the broken contract as it is and move on e.g. advertise it to find someone else. There’s actually no point in chasing a tenant after they’ve moved out. Waste of time.

@Henry ********

thanks. I really appreciate it that you actually answered the question that I posed. I have done it before but I couldn’t remember if I sent the original or photocopy, and I know they can be quite fussy down there at Chang Wattana IO. Thanks again.

@Gordon ***********

if you had read my post you would see that I have done it online before but it’s unreliable. So sending me a link isn’t really helping me in anyway.

Thanks but did you read my post? I said I don’t want to do it online anymore. Thanks.

Thanks but I’ve been nowhere near a hotel since my last face-to-face 90 day report.

I don’t know what the problem is here. I don’t know what contract you signed, but a standard rental contract in Thailand as in other places says that, if you break the contract, you forfeit two months rent kept as a deposit. Unless you owe more than that 40,000 THB, for example, a huge electricity bill or something else, there’s actually nothing for the landlord to complain about. I own and rent out several properties in Bangkok so I know what I’m talking about. Good luck.

@David *******

thanks. I found two by that name and neither are suitable for me. One is for pilots, and the other is only travel insurance. Thanks anyway.

@David *******

I’m the same age and looking for something similar. Do you happen to have any info on the silver wings insurance cover by any chance? TIA.
