Excellent piece of writing. The first paragraph is so true. Seen a lot of it first hand over my many years of travel to over 70 countries.

Extra account for retirement visa?
couchpotato replied to jethro69's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Sorry but I find this post very confusing... -
Thats great---now we can be rid of your insulting posts. Remember you're the one that initiated the thread with no details of the nature of the alleged crime.

Thai Mobile Banking Apps Crash On Payday, Transfers Put Off
couchpotato replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
yes -
Was in NZ beginning of the year. They are definitely mostly cashless (hardly anyone carries cash) and the system went down one day at noon, and lasted 6-7 hours. Shops closed, gas stations shut, supermarkets closed...a real mess. So yes it will happen sometimes, and yes it can cause big problems.

Don Mueang airport’s escalator accident not caused by poor maintenance
couchpotato replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
No subcontractor. Hitachi have a large presence in Thailand. Hundreds of lifts and escalators. Management is mainly Japanese (few foreign engineers) and the actual techs for maintenance are all Thai (as are the installation teams, but that is normally subcontracted--but still Thai). -
Anonymous bank deposit
couchpotato replied to Gaccha's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Firstly I'll presume you are in Thailand and so is she...so If her account is with Kasikorn, then just walk into any Kasikorn branch, fill in her bank account details/amount, hand over the cash and the teller will take care of the rest. Can actually do at any bank, but probably easier if you choose a branch of her bank. -

Not working, just helping the wife

It really is in your imagination!! -
Well you have to live with the on/off status or buy a new pump (about 7k).
-
You have air in the system. There one or two caps on the pump. Loosen these, let the air out (ie: until water sprays out). Tighten caps, turn off the outlet valve for a few minutes to let the pump fill up. Open valve and the pump should open for a while as the house water pressure stabilises, then shut off as normal. Good luck.

Requirements for a Retired expat to buy a vehicle
couchpotato replied to dingdongrb's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Unfortunately that practice is not viable these days at the DLT. Quite stringent rules these days. -
Re new phone. With Thai banking apps you will need to physically go to the Bank with your new phone, and they will set it up for you. This is a pain but the only way to do it. My daughter had the same problem, and she keep using her old phone just for the banking apps, until she could physically go to the Bank (so you might try that way). Hope this helps.

You should read the whole thread first..But because you obviously haven't, this is part of a post by another member (just a few posts above this one) that explains why. _________________________________________________ Just in case you missed my 2nd post I'm going to repost verbatim the reply I received from Bank of Thailand. "Facial Recognition is a requirement in Thailand for ALL retail customers, INCLUDING FOREIGNERS, when transferring more than 50k baht per transaction or 200k baht per day via Mobile banking. Foreigners who haven't updated their facial photos must update the photo at bank branches with their passport" _________________________________________________

@spidermike007Yangon was the capital, for a long time. Myanmar is name the nationalists gave the new capital. Yangon is still effectively the only major city in the nation. And the same people who are causing genocide, created the new capital. I don't honor them by using either term. Respect has to be earned and should never be freely given. Call me a rebel. Just don't ever call me a robot. Sorry Mike you are wrong and scottiejohn is correct. You are getting mixed up. The country of Burma was officially changed to Myanmar, and the original Capital of Rangoon was officially changed to Yangon in 1989. Naypyidaw was carved out of the jungle and became the official capital at the end of 2005. Just a bit of history for you.

How to get a Yellow House Book ?
couchpotato replied to bondjames007's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
The yellow book is only in Thai (your name is translated from your passport). So not sure why it wouldn't help you with whatever you are wanting to do.
