  1. Trump wants to make himself look like the paragon of virtue in comparison to those around him.
  2. Thanks guys. I appreciate the help.
  3. Anyone here producing lemons/lemon trees for sale? Looking to plant a few trees. Steve
  4. Oh Wow! Thank you KannikaP
  5. I live in Isaan so no can do.
  6. I am looking for a last will form in both Thai and English. Have seen a few on the internet but they are charging 7000 Baht and more for a few pieces of paper. I don't mind paying something reasonable. Any guidance of where I can find a reasonably priced form would be appreciated.
  7. Have they closed down? That link says 'App Expired"
  8. Looking for advice. I'd prefer a hotel with some life to it. Not too fussed about the price. Thanks
  9. Yeah, When I signed up with Wise some months ago I did so purely to transfer money as Santander wanted me to walk into one of their offices to do an international transfer and offered ridiculous rates. At the time I didn't realise Wise is effectively a bank and I could link my old English based Paypal account to it. I received the car withing days and have activated it simply by entering the 'end date' online. Very easy. so I am now set up but I will still continue arguing my side with Sabtander and have at least got them into an email dialogue. Someone on here suggest I email their CEO as he eventually got to keep his account by being persistent.
  10. Wise do not provide debit cards ifyou joined in Thailand, They say they are working on it. However the Paypal Mastercard debit card I have linked to my Wise account can be used with ATMs around the world for a GBP1.00 fee per transaction. The exchange rate is down to Mastercard and they have some of the best available.
  11. An update which might be useful to some. I already had a Wise Acc. for transferring funds and only just realised I could use it like a bank. Trouble is they don't issue debit cards to Thailand although that may come. My workaround was to link my paypal acc. to my Wise acc. and then apply for a Paypal Mastercard. The card should soon arrive at my brother's UK address from which I first opened the acc.. This solves most of my problems except you cannot withdraw cash from Wiseor can you?
  12. Please go elsewhere with your argumentative aproach. This thread is about UK banking not the Thai postal service.
  13. Thanks for that. I'll look into it
  14. Nope. All I use the acc for is to pay some bills in GBP and buy internationally on occasion which I cannot do with my Bangkok Bank acc which as I understand it is only good within Thailand.
  15. Thank you to those who have tried to be helpful. Unfortunately as with most forums there are always dick....s who have nothing better to do than pick a fight. I opend the account some 40 years ago and informed them I now lived in Thailand which was never a problem as the acc. was first opened when I lived in the UK. As I have a letter agreeing that I had answered all their questions satisfactorarily (including proof of my Thai address!) I am hopeful there has been a mistake on their part but am making contingency plans.
