somo

I have always used skype to contact them with no problem but now they say they cannot hear me and afte a short wait hang up. I have tested my microphone etc and all is in order so this is some new problem their end. 😞

Sorry, many time the price of Limes

I recently bought and planted 50 Eureka lemon trees and if all goes well have plans for another 100. As I understand it they are relatively easy to grow from cuttings rather than grafting onto root stock. It's an interesting market as they sell for many times the price of lemons. If you think you may be able to supply small trees please let me know with rough costs etc.

Trump wants to make himself look like the paragon of virtue in comparison to those around him.

Thanks guys. I appreciate the help.

Anyone here producing lemons/lemon trees for sale? Looking to plant a few trees. Steve

Oh Wow! Thank you KannikaP

I live in Isaan so no can do.

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.

Have they closed down? That link says 'App Expired"

Looking for advice. I'd prefer a hotel with some life to it. Not too fussed about the price. Thanks

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.

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.

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?

Please go elsewhere with your argumentative aproach. This thread is about UK banking not the Thai postal service.

Thanks for that. I'll look into it

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.

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.

No reason given. I have used WISE once to send money to Thailand but was unaware they provide banking.

Three months ago Santander threatened to close my account unless I jumped through a number of hoops. These included providing a copy of my mothers will from 8 years ago when a large sum arrived in my acc. + a notified translation of my Tabien Ban as proof of address. I found the whole proccess very streesful and threatening and although I went through with it I complained. In the end they credited my acc. with 200 pounds to compensate for the trouble they put me through and wrote me a letter saying all was fine with my account. Today my brother in the UK received a letter (I use his address for their correspondence as it takes months to arrive here) saying they are closing my account and I have 2 months to make alternative arrangements. Although I detest the man I now identify a little with Nigel Farage. Anyway, I wondered if anyone else has faced this problem of finding a new bank in the UK. I don't want all my money to be here in Thailand so need another UK account or maybe an online one. Any suggestions much appreciated

Yeah I have a Bangkok Bank account but there is no address attached to it. I guess I could ask them to send me a statement but whether they would add an English language address to the header is another matter.

Just had a call from my Santander bank in UK asking for proof of my Thai address or the will restict my account. As with all of us everything is in wife's name so have no utility bills etc. I have asked the UK pension service to send me a letter with my Thai address at the top but I have a 14th August deadline to furnish the document and it can take that long for them just to post the letter let alone for me to receive it. I have a yellow Tabien Ban book but it is all in Thai and unlikely acceptable to an English bank. I also have a thai driving licence but the address is on the back in tiny letter which is otherwise totally blank so could be anything so very likely not proof. Any ideas would be gratefully received

Thanks Brewster. I'll check it out

I use hd prime towatch sport etc but recently the quality has gone downhill with lots of stops and starts despite having high speed internet. Does anyone know of a web based alternative (not one that requires a box) that can be viewed on a website. Thanks

Also which acc number sends in Pounds?
