  1. If I knew. Try and error? My last FAX was about 10 years ago from an internet cafe in Pattaya. Tips about printers with FAX: nice but how many here have an "analog" telephone connection? Installation of new ones for private users has been ended as far as I know.
  2. You should study German government health organization They collected COVID data and sent it via FAX to the headquarters where they were typed into a database. Statistics way behind reality. No sending FAX on the weekend. Similar applies to other organizations in the country.
  3. Am I on your ignore list? Even added a picture of the shop. Why not give it try? Other posters also gave advice where you still might find a tradition FAX service. The endless "FAX service on internet" tips might be useless if the bank really expects a proper FAX with sender number (from Thailand?).
  4. "Observances" are not holidays. Summer solstice is not a holiday even in Thailand. Maybe in Sweden .
  5. Do they still offer the service or is it just a forgotten sign? (in the past almost all internet cafes offered FAX) There is an "internet cafe" (one of the few remaining) on South Pattaya rd. opposite the T-junction of Soi Buakhao. Right of the Advice shop (further right is Tukcom). Try your luck.
  6. Scoopy i is a small wheel scooter. Instable wobblers. I hate riding such ALONE. He had two sons on the pillion. Do you think there were three helmets worn?
  7. No. If you like you can discuss this in the Thai language forum.
  8. You don't know the mom&pop shop in my village The lady would not understand 1/2inch (niu krueng). Even after pointing to the designation on the pipe she insisted its "si hun". And that the pipe is by no way a 1/2 inch pipe but just a "symbolic"/trade name is another topic.
  9. When I stay in Pattaya I mostly drive a rented scooter. Car parks at the hotel for few planned trips if any. Preferably early morning. Just read from another poster about the last weekend (4th May) with 2 hour gridlock on 2nd rd/central. How not to ride. Poor guy on a disability three wheeler.
  10. Yes, xe.com. https://www.xe.com/currencyconverter/convert/?Amount=1&From=EUR&To=THB Now at 39.587 As I use WISE for transfer I also look there, very close (39.5839).
  11. EUR note rates from first round: Bangkok Bank 38.87 SCB 38.95 Krungsri 39.05 Kasikorn 38.89 That fits my experience. Kasikorn and BKB worst. Krungsri best. Foreign exchange rate 39.607 So quite a margin.
  12. No. In major upcountry cities there are specialized changers which might offer a few satang more. What currency and amount are you thinking of? To profit from travelling to Bangkok/Pattaya or the like it should be no less than 50000 Euro cash equiv.
  13. Exactly that. And for private/small deals there is no real time stuff involved. Only for real high amounts the branches are obliged to check back with the headquarter (as shown on fine print at Bangkok Bank). They usually do 3 or 4 rounds per day. First one is about 8:30h. Just looked at SCB and Bangkok Bank EUR rates. Assuming it's about bank notes! not electronic transfer. Difference is in the 0.05 Baht range better for SCB. Never paid any fee for money exchange in Thailand. Profit is always in the rate.
  14. It is indeed exceptional that the download is (so much) worse than the upload. Maybe the network is overloaded in your area. You can only hope that True/DTAC is better. Some posters recommend "NT Thunder" which I don't much about. Just did another test here: 47 / 40. Quite normal.
