was very simple and straight forward had to queue for about ten minutes I used my debit card I think the ten minutes was just to check I had the available funds to be honest I withdrew several other amounts over a five month period in excess of 100,000 baht to pay for various operations I needed and a large plot of farmland to develop into a fish farm

I used a personal account I had previously put the funds into before I left the uk found the whole process simple and the bank manager very helpful especially after he had checked availability of funds

I had no thai bank account just me, my debit card and passport just entered my pin and left with the cash on each occasion with minimal fuss hope this helps with your inquiry. Bob

@David ******

debit card

Used Siam bank in udon Thani to withdraw 500,000bhat just showed passport no fee no hassle no problem at super rich exchange rate

Just get two connected rooms for a 1000 B each

If you and your father are British he is a British citizen the process is simple you supply dna proof he is your son and then they will issue a British passport for him as for your wife you will need to meet the financial requirements for a spouse visa as long as you do the above and your partner has no criminal background the process is straight forward a lawyer can do it for you in the uk cost approximately £1000-1500

Just apply for a permit 2 weeks before you go it’s very straight forward and saves time at customs and or the monkey house as many medicines can get you a visit to there if not permitted

@Steve *****

just go to the government hospital show the doctor a copy of your prescription and get from the the hospital pharmacy so simple

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

absolutely the correct advice why risk customs issues just show the dr a copy of his prescription and he will write him one up dont ever understand the lengths people go to for such a simple procedure

No you get 30 days on entry and can extend a further 30 at an immigration office inside thailand

@Charlie *******

no argument here my friend it’s possible they now issue such a plate as an alternative to the Q plate it’s a few years since I imported

My experience was as I stated however we know things change and age related plates makes them easier to sell on once you have had the use you required but the import process remains

Pretty much the same . Have a great day
