Come on with the wind up...you've been a member for 10 years..

Fee this end is usually 220 baht, but your own bank (the card you are using) can charge up to 2% at that end.

Yes will endorse them ..she will tell you straight what can and cannot be done for your particular problem.

They will bring him back tonight from his home, and then he'll be ready in pyjamas for the Friday morning visit.

Bolt is basically an around town type of service, not to go on long journeys. Use proper airport or long distance companies for that. Also there is a 'Lady Bolt' service with lady drivers. My daughter uses it all the time in Pattaya and Bangkok (possibly a little longer to arrive, but safe and reliable). Grab has exactly the same services but are at least 50% more expensive for most rides. So there you have it.

Not really. The buoys are not owned by Thailand. They do not pay for them. They are only responsible for checking the operation of the buoys. The costs and availability of these buoys (which are tethered to the ocean floor) is prohibitive for stockpiling spares. Also there other ocean systems scattered around the world, so in a way there is redundancy and overlap for very accurate Tsunami prediction in all oceans, but as I outline below they are not the first line of defence. Also something you may not know...Tsunami buoys are not the first systems used for Tsunami prediction...Thousands of Earthquake Monitoring Stations around the world measure the intensity of earthquakes, and using computor modelling from many many years of data, the likelyhood of a Tsunami generating (and its probable direction and strength) is plotted quite quickly. Data from any ocean buoys can then be used to calculate the velocity/height/timing of the generated waves for the affected area.

These special Tsunami monitoring buoys are all US Govt manufactured and cost over US$1m each many years ago when the array was installed. (the first buoys were gifted after the 2004 disaster). Since that time they have been replaced many times due to fishing net damage, theft and issues due to lack of maintenance. One of the other posters was correct that the buoys are placed for maximum coverage (can call it a small array), and if one buoy (or more) is defect, then the data is not 100% reliable. The data is real time transmitted to a Central Hub (not real time to Thailand), but of course is available with a few ms delay to the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation in Nonthaburi (and of course all Tsunami centers around the Globe). Hope this helps.

Or a sign of she is broke and needs to sponge off the his princely allowance

@Mike Lister wrote an excellent piece that probably answered a lot of questions for many people. If you found it boring, then scroll down the page, not have to be so negative. Some people's children!

Once again its up to them..why do you have to worry about it for them.

And why does that bother you..up to them.

Minimum 9 hrs (including a lunchbreak of 30 mins to 60 mins). Some workers work much longer due to unfinished work, wanting to impress the boss etc, and some companies really expect their employees to work many unpaid overtime hours during the week.

No not accepted by Immigration. 800k accounts are Savings and Fxd Deposit only. 1e: Money must be immediately accessible.

I want to know what you are talking about and are you going to fix it.

A great word--had to look it up....

Happens all the time. I use Cashiers Checks and/or Cash depending on the transaction. Normal in thailand.

Even if you could get a credit card in Thailand it wouldn’t be worth having Why would you say that? I've had Thai Bank issued (Visa/Mastercard) Credit Cards for over 35 years, and with never a problem. Maybe you are writing on hearsay!

How about you? Are you tired of people not being able to speak basic English in 2024? Not really, but tired of posters posting idiotic posts. I think another fine of 10,000 baht is in order.

Yes you can as you described. They will block the amount of your credit limit on the card. So if your card credit limit is 150k for example then 150k will be unavailable to be withdrawn from your Bank account balance. VISA platinum is an excellent card.

We will watch you like a hawk..haha

Nonsensical--sorry you missed the point...cheers

Hope that 'injection' doesn't sting!

I was wondering where I'd get my daily laugh from...thanks for providing it. You are a poster of mirth.

HP and LL..your bickering is getting a bit boring now. It's New Year....good time to start afresh. Hopefully.

Probably best to NOT pursue this line of thinking....just saying.
