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.

If one really is a tourist traveling around staying in hotels etc., and although hotels must always do a TM30 reporting a foreigner staying with them, surely a hotel isn't going to be happy about having to provide a TM30 with signed copies of the owner's housebook and ID CARD for immigration?
