Ain't that WEIRD Mine was Bangkok Bank as well MUST be the managers there are either " On The Take " or THINK they are Mr BIG, I SHOULD have CLOSED my account as well on the day,But was in too much of a hurry& Besides too much hassle getting the U.K Pensions office to change to a NEW Bank Account....

I ended up doping that myself. But, I don't leave it there anymore. It was around the time there was a crack down going on. One of the military times. It was a new manager. They also refused to give me my bank letter for immigration. I was using a ATM' on those days and putting the money in the account each month. The managers statement I don't know where the money comes from.

The one problem I have now can't have an ATM card on the account I have to go and pick up the money each month. Lot of retirees these days that can;t personally go to the bank and the life partners take care of that for them. So we are tying to find a way for my wife to transfer the money in the event of my illness. May or may not have found a way. I will try it next month.

Waking up an old tread:
Amphur Nong Han refused to stamp the form I got mailed by home country.
Motif: they could not read English.
Went to Nong Han police station where after a long discussion with 3 officers I got advised to drive to Udon Tourist police where I was asked to pay 500B for that stamp.
OK, next time will hit the Udon Tessabaan, are they in the big provincial building near Thung Si Mueang?

The last time I had to do this I was in the UK, I phone them up told them how difficult it was to get this done in Thailand. Immigration wanted 1000 baht to do the BBK bank did not want to know. Was told any professional person can do it. In UK went to pharmacy. Next time I will try the pharmacy that I use in Thailand.
Also told that they exstended the time that you get to return it.

Is a life certificate the same thing as a annual visa ?

WOW! Just had my Life Certificate form in the post!
I will go to the translation office where I get my visa processed.
They,like last time, will sign for free. (But a 100 baht tip anyway!)
