According to "Track your transfer" for the one I initiated at 09:30 Friday morning Thai time, I will receive my money tomorrow Monday at 2:13pm.

I was wrong in I thinking the limit was THB 1,000. But don't forget that the card is now accepted in many Food Courts for payment. Seeing as one needs ID to apply for a card, it would be on record somewhere if someone went to all the trouble apply for multiple cards. Also if you look at the Rabbit Terms and Conditions, (they no longer appear to be available on the internet), they are quite Big Brotheresque in how applicants agree to be tracked. I did post them on this site once, but they were removed by a Mod. for whatever reason.

Did you drop your phone? My internet went down too yesterday. 3BB told me it was maintenance on a local server.

Lipe has long been discovered by the young party crowd. It might have been quiet during and just after Covid, but it might be a different story come February and the high season.

What about Bang Krut? Although not an island,

I did a transfer around 09:30 this morning after noticing the GBP jumped up. I put "travel expenses" as the reason. Told will arrive on 17th.

Must be for all the gold (chains) they bring into the economy.

Not a nice way to go. Poor old fella.

A lot of these trucks have no reflectors or no working rear lights. The other thing I often see which can contribute to these type of accidents is the dark tinted windscreens. Add to that the badly lit roads and or bad parking and it's not surprising how often this happens.

Does anyone know if immigration offices will also be closed for the Rama 9 holiday?

That's why I wrote "supposed to be". Same the BTS Rabbit Cards requiring passport ID to prevent money laundering. How much can you launder through that? It's all information gathering.

It's all supposed to be about money laundering.

The prices that CK charge for what are basically nylon underpants, I'm not surprised the counterfeiters have moved in on them.

Probably a thief checking out if the deceased had left any drugs or valuables behind. Turning lights on and off as searching rooms. Question: How can you tell someone wants to cut the grass by how they wander around the house? Were they pushing a lawnmower?

DO NOT throw away passbook. It is very important if you are on certain types of visa as immigration will require to see it for proof of funds staying in account. As for updating it. There is normally a machine outside the bank to update your passbook. Or you can go in and queue to get it done by staff. Basically it is just like a savings book. An account of deposits, withdrawals and amount in account. The bank staff may also use it to verify your signature if doing in bank business. You must have signed the book twice (invisible) when opening the account.

Don't they have a Naga Fireball Festival around this time of year? When the balls of light shoot up into the air from the river at night.

Looks like Blue Lagoon Chaweng. There are lots of hotels in Thailand like that now. No customers during the pandemic meant they couldn't pay the banks.

Apparently Box jellyfish can swim, as opposed to just drifting with the currents. And swim quite fast by all accounts. Up to 4mph. which is faster than the average swimmer. And they have eyes. So while they might not attack, they might be attracted to movement.

Three out of the same family? This is starting to look like a dynasty.

Lots of ways, but if the hotel doesn't change the default master PIN makes it very easy. https://www.corporatetravelsafety.com/safety-tips/hotel-room-safes-may-not-be-safe/

Most half decent hotels seem to have CCTV covering access to rooms nowadays. Should be easy to see if anyone entered the room.

That first pic made me chuckle. Hot English Mustard 200g...From France. ????

Someone I know makes his own up using that Coleman's Mustard Powder. Says the stuff in the jar is too weak. I think he just adds powder to a little olive oil and mixes it up to his own taste.

If Herpes cold sore, it would probably resolve itself in about ten days. If you have had it longer, it would be advisable to see a doctor, or dermatologist.
