Social Media is currently the instrument of choice. there being little alternative.

Tell friend to find a bargirl with an ATM card and get her to "launder" it for you for 100 bt commission.

Read the link, people. and many of the questions posed here will be answered for you ????

Especially in parts where you find weed growing freely and kratom tea being sold by the roadside !????

Only it's not sleeping is it! Perhaps they will go bearing gifts ?

They concluded it was "meat eating" due to the numerous KFC wrappers discarded nearby,

Exactly the same experience twice at the toll. A scam involving showing you your no plate written on their pad with explanation that it had been phoned in from a unit somewhere for some road offence. Also "pay bt2000 or go to the station". Stood my ground and was screamed at "this Thailand, I Thai police". Eventually got away with bt200 a a very nasty taste in my mouth. Happened again a month later. tried the same story, but backed down when they realized my Thai missus was in the car. I guess most unsuspecting tourists would be intimated enough to pay up. Easy pickings. I think maybe they chose me as I had Krabi plates on the vehicle .

Coming from parallel to the tracks before abruptly turning left onto them, doubt that he could have seen anything anyway ! Perhaps he ignored a No Entry/Left Turn sign there, as the traffic has not stopped on that road. Crazy that there appears to be no barrier either !

If looking to drive at the speeds attributable to the model, then I would suggest any roads that incorporate u-turns ! As much as I'd love to own one, couldn't imagine a poodle down Soi Buakhao being to relaxing. Wouldn't be too keen on parking in Lotus's' either! ????

Indeed so, as have just received a letter from them to affirm my tax status. The account already being open and active.

Not true in my case . I have and am not UK resident. For telephone banking FD gave me a "customer no" rather than a postcode.

Unless an agent can conveniently bypass the whole procedure, bt3500 seems a waste of money just to schedule an appointment. Cert of residence easily obtained, while passport copy, medical cert and required tests at the centre you have to do yourself anyway.

FD recently advertised a Bonus Savings account offering 2.6% for existing account holders. Up to GBP20K, instant access, with loss of interest for any month a withdrawal is made.

Many people "have" UK bank accounts and credit cards which continue in use under non UK resident status, with address in Thailand Opening a new account, however, is a different game and a non-starter.

Those steps are not particularly tailored for Foreigner's feet ! Not the best activity to undertake if you happen to be nursing a hangover???? also . Speedy recovery young fella.

Offshore banking is the option then, as UK banks appear to require residency to open a Fixed Term Savings Account. LLoyds International and others offer rates around 4% currently. Opening an account is a pain, however, as need to show proof of address in Thailand and probably certify your passport. Also requires a linked account for fund transfers.

A plan so cunning..............!

The emphasis on hand sanitation seems to have died a death in favour of the more visible mask wearing agenda. Perhaps everyone should wear surgical gloves also ?

Don't forget your ID.

Well, nothing's mentioned about having to have a Thai translation of any insurance policy, so if it's a concern, just get and print a quote and bluff it !

It doesn't, but the wording "before entering the country" is hardly comforting ! Presumably they'll just suggest and provide a list of "reputable" brokers and then up to you .

Knobheads. Must have read the GRAB signage and decided to "take it by the horns".

Actually, the report, of which you are keen to throw at others, also states "in the room". If you're so keen to belittle others for not reading the link, then at least don't misquote that very link to suit yourself.

Was merely correcting a previous pedantic post regarding the wording in the link .Don't believe I commented on his sleeping habits. Is that not admissible ? ????

Err, sleeping the OP Link states, actually .
