  1. Just last week I noted the Same continous problem same excuse as always although they continue to advertise lower fees faster transfer. First, I use Bangkok bank, years now Ive done large transfer 10,000 USD 24 hours. A few months back 10,000 USD, 4 days. High/Lower amounts previous if I do 1000 USD or above 24 Hours, if lower it comes in seconds! Not for me the last 6 month regardless it indicating 20 seconds I push submit response 4 days! No holiday, no weekend here or abroad. Ive heard only bank is Bangkok, my brother uses Bangkok also dont have problem so that theory doesnt hold water. What is true as op noted getting worse! Ive not had one transfer last six month come in seconds and I do 3 a month.
  2. Just go to Bangkok bank with your wife and ask!
  3. georgegeorgia= BDMF! 😂😂
  4. It is your choice. But you just limit yourself. Numbers not much difference 125 vs 155 up. Yamaha you got NMax or Arex 155 but from looks you like a drop front Im mainly Honda, a 160 Click drop front I believe would fit your needs or PCX 160, it isnt just power it is also suspension. I have a 2012 150 PCX, 140,000 KM it still flies at 100 KM/H And stable.
  5. The points sounds good but you can have a millions points. This is noting more than protecting their own corruption, it is like foreigners needing a work permit foreigners are taking a corruption job from the cops.🤧
  6. One, why block out the plates! Two, give these driver the authorities to ram and push them aside then forward everything to police for prosecution bill the driver, for repair damages, 50,000 fine, final civil damages.
  7. Majority of rentals is paid for my the complex normal run is 7 baht for electricity and 20 baht for water. You sign the lease don't ask don't care that is on the renter after don't complain and use the excuse they get it for so and so! Majority of the A/C or Frigs are not up to date turn them on during visit to see how they run and how much noise they make if bad look for another unit same with showers, sinks, etc.. I flip up the panel to check the screen if it is cleaned frig are the same plug it in look inside condition gives you a good hint of maintenance of the place. I never paid too much attention to those meter sticker reading! Thailand, I take little for granted no real consumer advocates to check if that sticker in fact is for real!😂 I don't pay a lot of attention to all the stats stuff I'm just aware of my habits. I rented a place for months years my bill for electric ran around 500-600 baht rarely ran the A/C and I cleaned it myself resort staff once a year came and clean and service it. One month the bill was 1500, I reported it, the maintenance guy came and checked out the meter tested it and it was replaced, managed adjusted the bill. This meters not from the PEA, are cheap dime a dozen hardware store.
  8. three bar codes, 1. Not a member 2, dumb 3. Dumber😂
  9. Oh, another one to the list you not alone! You respond, understood but now dont like, cant control the narrative lost the conversation " English " I thought I was talking to a man a person! Forum rules! English isnt a priority! Why! Poster are from everywhere! To express their view not only for you if it bothers you so much and your deep bedded RACISM Dont respond Im not going away or back to where I can from!
  10. My opinion just differ than yours that is it!. My opinion here in Pattaya just Pattaya based on years back them laying dirt and gravel opposite the railroad tracks and packing it down. Now I will admit the rise Pallons as picture shows I had not envision my shortcoming will be a real eyesore but not surprising in Thailand. Still doesnt sway my concern with the vehicle congestion on these intersections nor does it answer question they arent using the area next to the current railroad tracks as I noted which had again been place years back. I travel, the area where the train is noted and see zero work being prepare Rayong or Sattahip. As for Pattaya the major tourist draw I wonder where else they plan to place these massive stations. Years back I read the purpose route they havent even obtain the land which again isnt one bit surprising. As you note they better move fast 2029 is around the corner
  11. That is you opinion! Are you a resident if Pattaya! You pop a photo of outside of Pattaya, outside of Bangkok Bang Na area leading to Chon Buri! If you have such a strong stance then do me a favor there is already a master plan put it up. If not, please give me a hint how and where they purpose to run this train through Pattaya cause I run around to Rayong, Sattahip. Utapoa and I dont see any construction anywhere! I dont dismiss the pylons idea and your timeframe 2050 , if that the case who gives a <deleted> what they do I be long gone before then!
  12. My guess, this is Thailand as to how they budget their work. As you know the gravel was laid all the way down to 36, North to the south Sattahip to the airport. They laid the dirt and gravel roll over to pack it down then it rains Settling the dirt today it is as hard as cement. i noticed this same principal use when land is purchased or a project is to be built a bit below they bring in dirt pack it down then let it settle months before starting to built. When it is time they will fine tune it and spend billion on beautification along the route like they do on Sukhumvit where one has to travel KM to the next light and sit wait for light to change although no vehicles are coming.
  13. A few Years back they laid the gravel already to allow to settle.
  14. I express an opinion sadly poor sods like you cant seems to understand it feel Thais owe me something nor do I owe them.
  15. Incorrect! This story is reference about Pattaya! I specifically reference to you a number of locations these locations are extremely heavy with traffic throughout the day due to one lane in each direction crossing the current railroad tracks which several times a day the train comes through traffic comes to a stop. These intersection during morning and evening hours come to a standstill cause drivers dont know or been taught proper rightvaway and a simple stop sign. There is no wetland from north to south along this road called Railroad bypass the train travels slightly on a upgrade above ground they have already laid dirt gravel for the so call bullet train it will run nect to the train currently. As it heads towards Soi Nerpludwan it goes under this Soi there is a bridge vehicle travel over the trains goes under! The major intersection I mentioned the same should be done to these intersection I noted. When the train comes the closure will be more frequent a major accident is going to happen with the volume of vehicles crossing. If you know the area travel on the bypass one can see easily done. Currently between these intersections they run 1-2 KM, because the train runs above ground in between there are zero way even bike to cross to the other side it forces every vehicles to travel KM out of their destination just to turn around. By digging a bit lower at these intersections as they have done at Nernpludwan building wider bridges adding additional bridges along the bypass so vehicles could turn around instead of sending everyone to one intersection causing massive bottlenecks. There is no medical facilities east of Pattaya, medical emergency vehicles all from the otherside West of Pattaya. Your quick sarcastic reference to wetland and so call submarines just shows your ignorance to the area, problem, and greater population on the Eastern side that must travel across these tracks daily adding the bullet train to above with the railroad will add to the nightmare.
  16. Thanks for info about revolut, sound a bit complicated I really dont need or want all those services. For years Wise never had a problem good rates worse 24 hours, or less as noted if amount was under USD 1000.00 within seconds. Ive written them and the normal general reply each time yet they are sending me email how they are working to cut fees, faster transfer, etc.. But each time transfers are taking longer and longer no longer as advertised past or present. My transfers are simple from my U.S. bank to my Bangkok Bank which I access with my ATM card.
  17. Poor use of words, these are overflowing it is overflowing from the inadequate drains in place no different in town too small so water just run down the roads toward the tracks then Sukhumvit.all one has to do heavy rain stand bottom of Khao Noi or Tala watch the garbage white water, if I was younger I get a canoe and take a wild ridethen thete are no real engineers all family nepotism keep the bandaid system is money in the bank.
  18. A tunnel like they are doing everywhere throughout Pattaya square or round slightly larger so one can drive a mini cooper? Bullet train has nothing to do with any delay it wont come for years and years. The runoff from East is do to zero infracture drainage to these so call reserves nothing but holes. As we know water runs down hill these drums just hold more water below surface so people dont see. Take Sukhumvit. From Thappasit to Pattaya Tai water runs downhill, north from the tunnel to Tai, runs downhill all in the middle a ditch at the end everything drains throught a 1 meter cement drain that drain goes down Tai all the way to beach road and WS, in the end drain at beach are too small along with water rushing down Thappaya to south end of WS. Reason road collaspe sinkholes everywhere. Instead of patch work which produce yearly budget so Mayor can skim off have a master plan with other surrounding district to solve the problem but of course that ends much of the brown envelopes. If they have the slightess clue bullet train need to start digging put the current tracks under ground at these location Choppawthi, Soi Siam, Khao Noi, Khao Talo, the bottle neck are already massive it id going to be even worse.
  19. The truth? These are basically illegals here doing work Thai dont want or brought in by Thais for lower wages. Reason coverup verbally is the decline in their own population It is even a race issue as an Expat I dont expect or want citizenship it isnt going to stop the discrimination I feel daily and Ive been here 2 decades and it isnt the duel pricing stuff. But I do feel if you been here like 10 years clean history done all ask in obtaining Your visa for whatever reason thrown a bone so one dont have to jump through hoops, TM30, TM47, IMM-O! Im not asking for much am I?🤔
  20. Thanks give it a look.
  21. Sorry on my phone unable on forum to locate any ongoing topic on Wise? Ive been using Wise for years happy until 6 months ago Ive read posting as to why? Gotten recent email things are faster fees are lower. Anyone know of another comparable to Wise on this board. Ive yet to find better rates and fees. Why Im asking instead of faster it is getting slower much slower! Im not doing anything different massive large amount for example in the past I transact 1500.00 USD. 24-36 hours tops if I request anything under 1000 USD, as noted within seconds. Last 6 months not so although they are noting before submission seconds after noted a different time 2-3 days. Today 900 USD noted within 4 seconds after noted not until the 4th Monday WTF. It isnt getting faster but much slower!
  22. 😂
  23. Know first and told first hand from the horses mouth. Yes first and foremost money in bank her mame not joint, a business a real business not a personal small minimart for example. They know documents forged are very common. Major red flag is she is here in Thailand you in U.S. that being said you are anchor there their concern legally regardless of thousand crossing the border illegally once she steps foot on U.S. soil and she ends up overstaying it is tough to remove her especially if you have resources to delay her departation. Although my situation this was a long time ago I was married to her explanation provided interviewing felt we were lying (then I was allowed to attend interview) told why arent you applying for a marriage even though I made it clear we arent going to live in U.S. If you use a law firm make sure it has a reputation with the Embasses of applicants returning. Im not a fan of Siam!
  24. Used bikes are dime a dozen! but they aren't all the same, many like Mityon don't have use bike lots, if you need to buy one buy from a friend why as noted from the responses I would never buy a bike from a Thai or a Thai shop unless I have the book in front of me, even prior I look at the service book to see if it was service regularly majority aren't! Many service book I view never serviced the ones that have been you noticed the ink and writing is all the same which the person filled in using the same pen all at once to update. You look at the miles and compare it to the tires! then if the bikes has all these fancy stuff like what a young boy or man would do then I pass cause the bike has been abused raced wheelies etc.. I rather buy new than from a Thai in general, give them a residential certificate month later I get the book etc...
  25. Don't worry what you can't control! If it dies for the West it will die everywhere. This is to me nothing more than a end of the world type post! Enjoy Enjoy, Mai pen Rain, if it ends it will affect everyone and every place including Thailand. Don't live beyond your means is what I told Brits when rates were like 70-1 many never listen when it dropped many left to go back home.🤔
