Looks more like Monty.

Here is a list of ATM fees in Thailand, valid as of May 2023 I believe the Wise card is a debit card only.

So the price has gone up 2 baht a kilo (actually, on the figures given, its gone up 2.33). What's the average serving size of a plate of rice? Somewhere between 100-200g? She could add 1 baht to the price of each dish and make an extra profit from it. What a non-story.

A few years back I had a registered parcel go missing, the tracker said it had been delivered. I went down to the post office where they had the sorting office and showed them the tracking number. Asked me to wait and after a few minutes they handed me a phone and said to speak to our local delivery woman. Her English was about as good as my Thai but the gist of the matter was that she had left my parcel at the village pharmacy and I should go and pick it up from there. I drove back to the village and across the road from the building that serves as a post office (never seen it actually open) was a pharmacy. Went into the pharmacy and asked them for my parcel, blank looks all round so I called my wife and got her to explain why I was there. Off they went into the back of the shop came back after a few minutes and said no parcel. I'm insisting there must be, they keep saying no and I can see that the women is getting agitated so I leave. I call the post lady and she insists it's at the pharmacy and says its the one across from the police station, except there is no pharmacy across from the main police station. I think about it for a while and then the penny drops, there is a police box at the start of the village and there is a small soi across from it. I drive there and sure enough, there's a pharmacy in that street and they have my parcel. Turns out that the man in the pharmacy is the husband of the post lady. Doesn't really explain why they didn't deliver it to the house but I was just happy to get the parcel. Were they going to wait until I got sick to give it to me? I also went back to the other pharmacy and showed them the parcel, tried to explain the mix-up but by that point I think the owner was convinced that I was a random nutter. Moral of the (longish) story? The Thai post moves in mysterious ways.

If they were in the least bit interested in standing firm they wouldn't have dumped the Move Forward party.

Yes and IIRC several posters on this site at the time said they had no sympathy for the young Vietnamese lady who had been turned away from an over-crowded hospital.

Only if they're hanging in the way.

Judging by the name I'd hazard a guess that Monir is a Muslim which may be why he would prefer a female doctor to attend to his daughter.

Big fan of Mussolini by any chance?

Yeah but there's 250 people I can think of who aren't sure if they'll be able to make their payments after May 2024.

I think they're talking committee-speak.

I can't find a way to pay my PEA bill using Bangkok Bank m-Banking but they will accept i-Banking. You'd think it would be the other way around with most people using smart phones.

So it might just of been one or even as high as three, guess counting isn't one of her strong points.

Had something similar happen to me a few years ago except in my case they initially were insisting that we bring the children to the office. The "children" at that time were both over 21 years of age and both were working. After some discussion they decided that they would settle for copies of their identification cards plus a photo of my wife and myself standing next to one of them. I had to do a 160km round trip to get the photo done and then they tried to refuse me on the grounds that I had supplied the same two photos. I showed them that our hands were in different positions in the photos at which point they gave in and processed my application. Interesting that you say that once they become adults they don't have to be declared.

Would depend on the time of day, at 11pm on July 6th, Wise showed a rate of 35.23. They currently charge $16.62 for a $3,000 transaction but they do also give out fee refunds (if you are a UK customer) and on the 5th of July I received a fee rebate of 40% of the fees I had paid the previous month. "What are fee refunds? Currently, we’re offering fee refunds to a trial group of customers in the United Kingdom."

Taken from the full story in the link :- "looking back at her before overtaking her. " Now that's a clever trick.

"Moments later, shouts claiming to be police officers conducting a urine test were heard. The victim, however, asked to use the bathroom first." Not sure who was taking the "p" there.

"The accumulation is only limited to two consecutive cycles, after which any unclaimed rewards from the previous month will be taken as state revenue. " Can't see it reaching 1 Billion baht, never mind dollars, in two draws.

No, harsh presumptions from you. If you bothered to click the link and read the full story you'd know that they did indeed stop to help a woman who was being beaten.

"Thankfully, the motorcycle served as a blocker, preventing the car from plunging into the water." I doubt if the occupants of the motorcycle saw it that way.

Bread and Circuses whilst they get on with the business of denying the popular vote.

Probably a lot of people on here feel the same way.

Can you read? "Right after seizing power, the generals announced their intention to restructure the country, in such a way, they said, that they would never have to mount another coup." "This time they made sure their amended draft would pass, by imposing a strict ban on any campaigning, so the public understood very little about it, and by warning that the only alternative was extended military rule." Two quotes taken from a BBC article, written in April 2017. As to where have I been, I've been right here in Thailand and was living here before the coup.

"My daughter told me about her. She said her teacher is stupid and should go back to the jungle" Those are the words of the student, both of them are racist.

They stifled any discussion on the proposed changes at the time by threatening defamation charges against any criticism.
