At 100 baht a letter, 104,400 baht to be exact! And I wonder if they process that through the books with a receipt.

You chose a custom title
5 bank letters daily is B1,000.
Yup, that £25 makes a huge difference, heh.
And the thieving bastards are charging another £100 to handle your application and stamp your one-year extension.
Wondering, what does your 'Embassy' charge (in total) for its services such as a simple pension verification letter ?

And it's only 1,900 baht for a 12 month extension. And yes, the British Embassy do charge 2,300 baht for an income letter - now they are the real thieving bastards.

I'm at a loss with reference to the £100.00 charge. It could be that I'm having a bad day - @nookiebear had to reprimand me for the incorrect arithmetic in this week's order.

Coffee I don't give a fuk about the hundred bht, it was about needing the same day letter from the bank. Why?Exactly, Robjak.

Because it's written, that's why. Same reason why women are not permitted to attend stonings!

Only for the last 2 years though.

More ridiculous is the fact that the same day letter must come from the Bangkok Bank branch in Kap Cheong only, cannot be a same day letter from our Prasat branch, as I found out last trip. Paid the 100 baht twice also...

Kasikorn also do not have a branch in KC. And they only charge Bht 100.00.

Correct. And I'm not sure that it's "country wide".

Always seem to remind me about the 5 monkeys and the ladder story.
A group of scientists placed five monkeys in a cage, and in the middle, a ladder with bananas on top.
Every time a monkey went up the ladder, the scientists soaked the rest of the monkeys with cold water.
After a while, every time a monkey would start up the ladder, the others would pull it down and beat it up.
After a time, no monkey would dare try climbing the ladder, no matter how great the temptation.
The scientists then decided to replace one of the monkeys. The first thing this new monkey did was start to climb the ladder. Immediately, the others pulled him down and beat him up.
After several beatings, the new monkey learned never to go up the ladder, even though there was no evident reason not to, aside from the beatings.
The second monkey was substituted and the same occurred. The first monkey participated in the beating of the second monkey. A third monkey was changed and the same was repeated. The fourth monkey was changed, resulting in the same, before the fifth was finally replaced as well.
What was left was a group of five monkeys that – without ever having received a cold shower – continued to beat up any monkey who attempted to climb the ladder.
If it was possible to ask the monkeys why they beat up on all those who attempted to climb the ladder, their most likely answer would be “I don’t know. It’s just how things are done around here.”
Does that sound at all familiar?

I received an email (to my private email address) which outlined this (the attached is their website):
http://wvs.activehosted.com/index.p...d163e820.9&s=d5bf4133ea872c7e56c8ceafcccc738c
I'm obviously not giving it any credence but wondered if anyone else has had similar and knows from where the email contact address was obtained?
