I stand by what I said, if you can't see it, not much I can do.

If Trump were still in office, there wouldn't be a war. Biden was responsible for stirring up this war, and wow what a surprise, the US's involvement has helped them financially. It's tragic and more tragic that many can't see it.

You like George Bush don't you?

Congress are being paid off by the corporations. If America wants to be great again, they should not help Ukraine, it has nothing to do with them. Russia and Ukraine have a long history, and should be left to fight it out. More people will die because of Biden's pathetic leadership.

Are you training to be a mod?

I think the whole world is concerned about Biden's mental health. Many of us see what americans can't. It's painfully obvious that there would not have been a war in Ukraine if Trump had been given a break and stayed on as president.

Thing is, I never brought it up on this thread, I don't think. Agreed ????

I do accept that the pink card has some uses, my point is that it is overrated partly due to some not telling the entire truth about it. I used it at the Post Office once for collecting a parcel. My experience is that it is does save carrying a passport(sometimes) but really that is not such a big deal, passports are not so heavy. I just try to share my experience and get blasted in a personal manner about such things as my nationality, which has absolutely no relevance here, by people who seem to resent it.

State where in this thread I have done that please, or in fact any other thread.

Well just checking, as there is a lot of information on this thread that kinda hides the facts. For example, one guy saying he opened a bank account with the yellow book and ID card but not mentioning he also needed a passport. Similarly, saying your Thai history started 54 years ago when related to your experience here is being negligent with the truth, when in fact you have lived here for 6 years, as a civilian.

Nothing, simple question. A joint account?

there's a pinned thread by blackcab where can we see these member ratings? @blackcab

generational thing - my mother is much the same, she's 80

With the legislation of ganja, it's pretty obvious more people are going to have mental issues related to the drug, but probably fewer in issues related to alcohol and stress.

I never quoted anything and certainly don't usually misquote. You opened bank accounts with only a pink card?

Thanks for the tip, I actually prefer Black Mountain and Seapines to Royal HH anyway. I never knew Singha owned it; I could ask a friend of mine from Khon Kaen, who is sponsored by them to help. Yes, If I pressed it I probably could get membership but I wouldn't really be accepted as one, IMHO. You know what some of these members are like regarding 'farang', especially the Thai/Chinese ones.

Is this an apology? No need to reply, I won't see it.

Well come on dude, get the facts right. You said basically that ALL bank transactions can be done with the pink card, this is misleading to other, I'm sure but not to me, as I know most transactions require a passport. Are you saying the only thing(non transaction) that you've been able to use the pink ID card for is to print a letter for immigration? Bit of a difference to your previous statement that all your transactions can be done with a pink card, which is, of course, not true. Since opening my accounts (with Passport & Yellow Tabien Baan) I have never needed anything other than my Pink ID when carrying out any transaction related to my account in the Bank.

I hate nothing. Maybe you are a yank but where I am, polarisation is BS. I give my opinion on the Pink Card and some don't like it. Some say it is good once every 5 years when renewing a DL. In Khon Kaen they don't accept it, among others. Some say they get free health treatment because of it - false. Some say they can open a bank account with it - false. Some say they can use ot for thing where a DL is enough. Just trying to give a balance perspective, but not sure why I bother. It is handy for a couple of things but highly overrated. There's a lot of ignorance around by foreigners and Thais about this card. It was started for migrant workers, take a look on the back and tells me what it says!

What about foreign exchange or sending money abroad? For example. How about getting a bank loan?

'sunbeam' ? I never mentioned the yellow book. The yellow book is very useful. Stop your flames and learn to read.

yes, same here. Immigration know where you live yet some go on about the yellow house registry being beneficial for immigration, which is pure nonsense!

One question, did you need to show your passport when opening bank account?

If we are to believe you, you have lived here since 1968 and think immigration need to see a yellow housebook when you do an extension - nonsense. I had a yellow book for over 20 years and wasn't once asked for it, or proof of address. Not sure your motive here but I call BS. Oh, I see your history started in 1968, did you come for a holiday then? How long have you lived here?

What is this, a competition? What have my friends got to do with anything, please don't insult them.
