AFAIK from my own experience, you do have a password to log in to their K-Bank-system. This will never change unless you do want so.

The OTP-option will come to you by sms; therefore you NEED to submit a Thai telephone number. Beware: changing this number must be done in person at the original branch!

For most transactions you will receive an OTP.

The Second Password is another option. It's a password that you can use besides your log-in password. Beware: the Second Password option can not be used for all transactions (ex. adding a billing-account).

If you are abroad, take care that you keep your Thai telephone-number "alive" and working. A big plus: You can top-up your pre-paid telephone-card with the help of Kasikorn K-Banking

Once you get used to the K-Banking facilities it's a piece of cake and a joy to use.

Speculations, motives, guesses...........I still can't believe that someone will be shot for fun.

There is definitely more behind this sad story.

Let the BIB's do their job; if they really want they will get the shooter(s).

I wish all the victims' friends and relatives a lot of strength.

Wasn't there a free wifi service a few years ago?

A few years ago they set up a kind of hotspot system but was not free.

AFAIK it is still up and running in the area enclosed by Beach Road, 2nd Road and, South Pattaya Road and North Pattaya Road.

5 hours per 3 months.....means a whopping 3.33 minutes per day or maybe 10 minutes per day if you stay 30 days. It's just another gesture of whatever. Anyway, City Hall can state now that they offer free wifi in the city.

Internet cafe's, hotels and other places offering paid-internet don't have to be afraid of any competition.

AFAIK the ESRI map is offered for THB 6300 (Th, My, Sg and Indonesia)

That's the South East Asia map.

I managed to obtain the Thailand Street Map V 12.0 for only THB 500; just have to go back to the shop in case an update is released.

The latest TSM is the v12.1.

Ok, just checked: Thailand StreetMap V12.01 NT [ENG]

If the Thai government would put all the energy that is put in Thaksin in matters as safety and water-management, Thailand would be a better place to live in.

He forgot to mention that Thai men "who want an easy life" should become MPs

/ Priceless

Thai men who want an easy life, just have to pretend to be their wives' brother and move in with their wife and her farang husband.

Not very long ago there was a message about a Norwegian and his 16yo girlfriend/step daughter who got killed on an overpass NEAR Pattaya.

This message was moved to the Thailand News section, probably to avoid cheap comments about farangs and girls in association with Pattaya.

This "event" (the shooting of the doorman) occurred even further away from Pattaya......in Bang Saen which is 44 km.

Let's move it!!

I wonder if the new logo will be sent with the regular updates for my system.

I don't like to have something "old" on my laptop.

On my GPS there already was a complete version of the European maps installed and the Thai map was just added.

In Thailand I turn off the European map and in Europe I turn on the European map and turn off the Thai map.

There are consumer rights in Thailand, caught in the Consumer Protection Act of 25xx

It states that most (non-food) items can be returned within 7 days of purchase upon return of your money.

Items that go with a one or two year warranty can be brought to a local service center or sent to Bangkok where it will be repaired or replaced.

In the first case you have to go back to the store where you bought the item, in the second case you'll have to find a place where they usually service the items. You can return them to the store, but then it may take weeks or even months before it will be returned.

Luckily, there weren't any kids playing on the porch.

Maybe you should remove the tag, set by "Avoid tollways"

Although the stretch of elevated highway doesn't ask for toll, it may be seen as a toll way by Garmin.

Will they be told to stay away from the traffic-control-units and let the computer do their job?

Here's some info I came across whilst looking up about Ed-Visa. This an actual official Thai Immigration site for BKK office.

http://bangkok.immig...php?page=90days

Very interesting link. Most valuable are:

- reporting between 15 days prior and 7 days after the original reporting-date

- leaving the country and re-enter sets the "90-day-counter" on "zero".

Of course, some if not all immigration-offices will interpreted those rules differently.

You can get a courier to do it for you. Or just send your wife. No need to waste valuable time just to save a few hundred baht a year.

As stated in previous posts: You don't have to report in person! You only have to take care of the correct documents eg. copies of passport.

No worries, those Korean pumps would save Thailand, erm ... where are they, by the way, did they arrive yet ?

Sold to the Philippines together with the mobile toilets with huge profits.

Is ice the same as ya ba????

Ya-ice

It starts around 16.55 p.m., 5 minutes prior to the moment that I have to make a run for my car getting soaked or I have to wait 45 minutes until the rain has subsided and the "naam tuwam" is reasonable...........very annoying.

The traffic-lights for pedestrians in Pattaya (somewhat around 13 pieces of them) are being turned off during the weekend.

It seems (yes: seems) that they actually work from Mon-Fri.

Is this the same pet-shop-incident as the one last week?

I think that Stefan Salvatore is feeding himself...........dam_n, I watched too many episodes of Vampier Diaries

A traffic-free boulevard between the North-end and the South-end of Pattaya Beach.

Thanks guys! Next time I'll search in those directions.

Got some alternatives from Foodland.......noticed that the offer on English, Welsh, Scottish beers is very very poor.

Most available beers are German brands, some Chinese, Korean and Japanese.

A good alternative are the so called Web-cards. Those cards are debit-cards, but suitable for online purchases.

You deposit a certain amount from your bank-account onto the Web-card and you can use it for purchases.

Dis-advantage: The amount on the web-card is under no circumstance insured.

A good example is: http://www.kasikornb...ebShopping.aspx

do you know if SCB have this service?

Can't find it on their website, but maybe that their Debet Card (not ATM card) is suitable for online purchases.

I didn't read all the posts on this, but it seems that there will be restrictions for foreigners to open bank-accounts from 21-8-2012 on wards.

Any news or updates?
