What should I do about my e-visa stamp with an early expiry date upon entering Thailand?

Pui *****

Assuming you incorrectly thought the 60 day tourist visa grants 90 day stays when it just means it can be used once to enter the country within 90 days, don't worry. Just go to immigration offices within Thailand and extend it for 30 days for a 1900 THB fee, giving you a 90 day total allowed stay.

Pui *****

Advil is a name brand, like Tylenol. The actual drug is ibuprofen and is easily available at every pharmacy. Like the way bandaid has become a generic term in the USA but isn't what bandages are called in most of the rest of the world. Imagine claiming they don't sell bandaids in Thailand just because no one knew it by that name.

Why did my Thai bank deduct tax from my savings account?

Pui *****

I misinterpreted your comment last comment about Jomtein as your previous comment was saying that you thought the bank's withholding is an ATM fee so I thought it was a follow up to that comment.

Why did my Thai bank deduct tax from my savings account?

Pui *****

I'm not sure how your answers have any relevance to the OP's question whether a TIN is issued by the bank when they deduct the automatic withholding tax from all foreigners' Thai bank savings accounts when they deposit the interest. Doing it in jomtein doesn't make it any different than anywhere else as far as the required withholding.

Why did my Thai bank deduct tax from my savings account?

Pui *****

all Thai banks deduct a withholding tax automatically from the interest you earn on your account as a foreigner. Given how tiny the interest amount is, the withholding amount is so small, you likely never noticed it.

Do I need to complete the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) for my trip with kids from the UAE to Thailand on UK passports?

Pui *****

Make sure you don't get scammed like many have from searching TDAC on Google, as the first result is typically a sponsored website beginning with "iv" that charges over $100 USD for a TDAC. The real government TDAC website is free. tdac.immigration.go.th
