That sounds more reasonable, but mine also wanted a witness to verify l was staying there. But they were out of luck there because there was only one other Thai resident in another apartment and he always went home to his family at the weekend. So they had to be content with my girlfriend as a witness.

They did call and ask and we agreed 11:00 to 11:30 a.m. but the morons turned up about 10 minutes later at about 9:15! They demanded photocopies of three documents, copies of which were provided less than 2 weeks before for the actual extension!!! I would have refused to do it there and then, but my girlfriend was there and scuttled off to do their mindless bidding!

Myself and a friend both had home visits (Mine 9am, on a Sunday morning..😡) not long after renewing our retirement, not marriage, extensions in March 2024. Not in Udon but in another NE Esaan province; Nakhon Phanom.

Google superrich and happyrich for the best rates in Bangkok and Suvarnabhumi on arrival.

I am very pleased with my dual SIM Oppo 94 ColorOS. Works well in Thailand and the UK and Oppo updates it regularly

I think the last two Click models were/are a dangerous design. In an accident the pointed fairings on the front sides could rip your leg off or easily break it. The Honda Lead looks much safer.

@Brian *******

yes you can change to worldwide and extend nationwide insurance to 180 days. I have done this before

They don't charge for a one day overstay at Suvarnabhumi.

@John *******

yes it's Kasikorn bank John.

After using Wise for many years I've switched to Western Union recently as the exchange rate is significantly better and after getting a few free transfers the fee is now 99p. Also if you use Western Union's direct bank transfer the fee is still 0 with a slightly better exchange rate. Like Wise they tell you exactly how much you will receive (unless you're receiving Bank takes a cut). KBank does not. I usually transfer £1,000. I don't know how their rates for larger amounts compare. WUs website and app were dreadful to begin but seem to be working smoothly now.
