  1. What's that got to do with the issue at hand...no one has problems that use a credit card so your input doesn't help
  2. I just installed my first Aircon 3 weeks ago. A 9000btu inverter in my bedroom. For health reasons it's best I maintain temperature of 21c. My bedroom is 18sqm so 9000 btu is perfect. My bill is in a Thai name and she is currently unable to be contacted..However to work out my monthly cost what could be easier simply deduct last months bill for my new reading and it should give me a good idea of how much extra I can expect to pay per month....only one problem for the first time in 2years my electric bill has not turned up and it was due in my post box a week ago. Now I have no way of contacting them to complain because I don't have any old bills and I don't know my house address... luckily I can pay it next month when my next bill arrives...if it does arrive...only in Thailand😸
  3. Lazada use them.absolute crap service.....no other words to descride them
  4. I have union pay debit card from Bkk bank..absolutely useless as no one accepts it online in my world which includes Lazada Shopee and anyone else that I have tried...I am going to my branch and hopefully they will issue a visa one
  5. The idea is if I change my car ot bike I dont have to travel 240km to immigration and back the get a motorbike to the DLT to register it which is 200km round trip......kinda hard to enjoy that at my agae
  6. Proof of residency from Immigration is a requirement unless you have a Yellow Book. To get a yellow book if renting you need Proof of residency from the British Embassy which in my case is a 2 day trip. The British Embassy have absolutely no idea where you live in Thailand unlike Immigration thats how messed up Thailand is
  7. Because I rent the local Tesseban want a letter from the British Embassy before they will issue a yellow book. I'll be 76 this year have COPD and I live 120km from the nearest Airport. So I need 2 taxis and a flight just to get there. Then I have to stay overnight then make my way back home. Apart from the cost and the fact I am ill the British Embassy don't have the foggiest Idea where I live. Whereas immigration certainly do. Typical Thai bloody nonsense they really are clueless at times.
  8. It gets lost n translation. You handsome man is almost impossible to translate into Thai. However after some in depth research the nearest we could get to it was "You Old Fuddy Duddy"
  9. Thousand are with their Thai wives they met in a bar until the day they die Thousands are not. Men usually cause the break ups Thai girls are pretty loya. Thai girls who work in offices etc can be 10 times worse than bar girls with their giks
  10. If you are lucky enough to have a Kasikorn Bank account it is simple. Download Kplus app to your mobile and you are set to go. Wait 24 hours after your meter has been read. open the app and click on PAYMENT. Enter your pin number. Go to top of page on the left click on back arrow...this takes you back to the first page. At the bottom of the page there's 5 choices in a row click SCAN. Scan the qr (that's the square right of the bar code) you bill details and the amount will pop up...proceed to pay and your done.
  11. Bangkok Bank is the retail bank leader with over 17 million customer accounts but they don't have the PEA on their app so customers can easily pay their electricity.......Would Ricky Gervais have a field day with that or what?😆😆😆😆
  12. I live 120km from the nearest Immigration office and 3 hours driving and an hours flight from Bangkok. I recently applied for a yellow book. Took along my landlady her daughter. Lease passport translated by a notary. Wasn't good enough I was told you must get the British Embassy to stamp it. Nevermind I have been doing 90 day reports had letters from immigration who knows exactly where I am it has to be the Embassy who don't know Diddly squat about where I live. So I have to drive 120km to Udon Airport fly to the new airport get a taxi to and pay for a hotel etc etc...how messed up in the head are these peop
  13. I live in Sakon Nakhon and they refused me a Yellow Book insisting I get a translated copy of my passport stamped by the British Embassy. I had a copy stamped by a BKK notary but that wasn't good enough..........a total nonsense they expect me at 75 years of age to go 1400 km round trip to BKK and back never mind the expense.
  14. I have a galaxy a9 android 8...........are the bank going to buy me a new phone....No? Didn't think so. I am in one of the MEA areas when I log in on my PC there is no facility to pay my Electric with Kbiz. I also have K+ on my phone which does have the MEA facility but every time I try to pay I get the message...we can not bla bla at this time please try later. My BKK bank account also does not have an online facility for PEA which covers 85% plus of Thai users. Nearest 7/11 and atm 20km away
  15. I have been doing my 90days report on line for about 2 years......never had one problem
  16. When in Rome and all that but when you consider Miss Thailand World and Miss World are shown on Thai TV and millions see women in revealing Swimsuits V a dozen people or so seeing a couple of girls in bikinis in a park it really seems a bit crazy to outsiders
  17. Well thank God we never got married Thailand is mad with red tape and the longer you are here the worse it seems to get. I bought a motorcycle recently. To put it in my own name I had to travel a 240 km round trip to get proof of address letter from immigration. Then I had to take the bike on a 200 round trip to tax it as the only place in our province is te DLT. I decided I should apply for a yellow tabien baan to save any future journeys to immigration when I renew my licences buy a new car or whatever, I rent a property so I went to the Tesseban armed with my lease, my landlord and landlady as witnesses. photographs copy of my passport my 90 day report my retirement visa all in order. A certified translated copy of paasport and birth certificate from a Notary lawyer all stamped in living colour. No problem I thought..........how wrong was I. The officer took one look and said you have to go to Bangkok and get your embassy to stamp you passport and birth certificate translations. Considering I have a medical condition and flying is not advised I would have to make a 1,700 km round trip to BKK and back...plus fork out how much cash for fares and a hotel. Never mind immigation know exactly where you are, everything about you is up to date your landlord has shown his blue book and confirmed he has known you for over 12 years None of that matters but you need those 2 embassy stamps. When I read other people saying they didn't need them and they got their yellow book with no hassle it makes me cringe.
  18. So incredibly typical of Farang slagging where it's uncalled for. I have been doing 90 day reprts on line for the last couple of years and they are ultra efficient. They send me an email reminder I go to there site 2 days before I am due they email me back immediately saying they have received my application and 24 to 36 hours later they send me my new 90 day report.......no glitches no problem easy as pie.
  19. Has anyone any idea that these are. I have a spare room which is empty and these have appeared in their thousands. I swept them up and threw them out but 2 days later thousands more appeared so after cleaning them out is sprayed the entire room with insect killer but two days later they are back again.
  20. This is nothing unusual and often not what it seems. The Chinese have been buying 100"s of condos in one go as they come on the market or from plan in come cases. This is why at night hardly any lights can be seen in Condos where the owner says ther'e none left for sale, The Chinese sit on them EMPTY until completion date or longer then resell them to you at the new market price. This has been going on since I started a Real Estate company 25 years ago on Sukhumvit
  21. I renewed my UK passport in July a year ahead of time. They didn't run the new one from when my old one expires but from the date they received it. That was not made clear to me so In affect I got 9 tears instead of 10. Such is life but my QUESTION now is:- my retirement visa is due for renewal mid mid January 2024 but I was thinking about going to immigration mid December 2023. If I do go in December is it the same as the passport?.............would my new visa run from December or when the old one runs out in January
  22. They did on December 5, 1933. which saw the end a crime wave like no other during prohibition.. Thailand are just slow in catching on
  23. as long as their earnings are dependent on how many deliveries they do in a day and tips there is no way anything will change
