Hope springs eternal -- referrals to a plumber serving Jomtien
Since no-one else has come up with a rec I will throw this one in although no idea if he will travel to Jomtien. Toom (or maybe Dtoom) on 081 399 3630. Biggest issue is almost no English so you really need a Thai speaker if only to get him to what needs to be done. Very happy with his work, used multiple times, prices however not always the cheapest.

Internet Banking LLoyds
Is this Lloyds International - or some sort of extra step for the onshore Lloyds? I have had this in the past with Lloyds International where they weren't getting the numbers I punched in the mobile or hearing me speak them but it was very temporary. Sorry to hear you are having such issues for an extended period.

Did you not install the last November update as I don't think there have been any since then have there? The next Patch Tuesday is this coming one where I am sure there will be some security updates for those on ESU or the LTSC versions.
