LoneTraveler, Along with all the normal paperwork { tm7, Bank Letter, 12 Month Statement, Map Immigration to home, Bank Book, Paasport Stamp page and 90 Day, Wife's House Book, Wife's Thai ID, 12 month printout of Wise statements } I print out a letter from my Navy retirement account and SS account ...

I would also say I would agree with you if we were on vacation but were not, some of the people have been here years so something from home once and awhile is nice.

Ken6583, I agree with you.

SeekingSakYant, Most people want something from their own country once in awhile, Don't take someones request for a dish from home as they want it everyday, think of it as going out to dinner at home once a awhile.

LoneTraveler, can't you just order you 12 month statement 4 or 5 days before you return to Udon and pick up a BB the same day you do the deposit and get the letter? Next this won't help much this year changing DD, that takes awhile depending the time of month you do it but do yourself a flavor and o...

1. 12 Month statement - Nov 1 to Oct.( The Oct day will depend the day you order the 12 month statement) With Bangkok Bank it does take them about a week to do the 12 month statement. So plan ahead. Maybe don't make a appointment until it comes to you or pickup the same day as doing Immigration appo...

I've used a notary in Udon three times for witnessing my signature since C19 started and found that on a Doc for the court in Maine was no problem, a doc for the POA in Texas no problem and Doc for Retire pay for the Navy no problem. I ask before I did it and they all just stated as long as official...

Will do in morning. Need good light.

Semper, I had TOT TV boxes 1 year ago and they had Fox news but in the upper tier selections (you had to pay a little more then basic). I changed to 3BB because TV boxes would stop working maybe 5 or 6 times and wife wasn't happy that she would have to drive down to Udon every time to switch boxes s...

Jackspatt, Just type " tires 255/70 R15 ". That works better

The link that Parrot sent shows the location on road to KK, Right before and next to it a Subaru dealership. It is about 5 to 7km from the turn off of ring road.

Nelv14 , I've been here since 2016 using my Thailand address for SS. It seems I was getting one every 2 years until C19. I received the form 7162 in Aug this year, sent it reg mail it never got there. They sent me a second notice 27th Oct. I waited until ten days before it needed to get there just i...

I received it about 10 days ago. Sent it normal mail they wanted I think 1800Bt EMS. Hope it gets there.

Ken I don't think the SSA-7162-OCR-SM is sent to US addresses. I guess they don't think that people living in US would move and not let them know. HA HA

I'll second that...

I have lived here for 6 years and been sent this 3 times and one time it was over 90days from date mailed. I logged into my SS account and saw that my next payment was being held until I returned this form. I called SS and the person I talked to sent a PDF to my E-mail address I signed it, uploaded ...

I sensed in our chat yesterday and after your cobra experience, that you sort of humbly accepted that the ancient Brit living opposite wasn't actually in 'cloud cuckoo land' about the local wildlife. :lol: Mind you, the colourful python sitting in the Tesco's car park was quite a surprise to me too...

:lol: That sure looks like a งูเห่า (nguu hao) Just wanted to know what part of Udon Thani you're at. I 'm in the Sampraow aeria, and these days I have to help on a small kitchen garden (ca 30 x 30 m) of the wife for a while. And now I thought I have seen something similar . Color and lenght, no cob...

In the 6 years I've been here in LOS I've kill about 3 snakes but the last 10 or so have been getting to fast so I call my wife's friends to come and get them. As far as I and friends can tell they have all been harmless. Today I got my cherry popped. I was watering some of my trees talking to my wi...

Tam is correct, My friend just arrived today and is waiting for his results on his Bangkok covid test. He used the Thai pass and all he needed for insurance was 30 days to get thru door. Hes is on retirement visa extension that he renewed just before he left Thailand in Dec.

Thanks Tamada , He and I had hoped a little less requirements but it is what it is. Thank you
