and thats exactly what wifey said lol but i've just realised by looking at the card that we have another problem. The card number is missing two numbers which have been worn away by frequent use. So its off to Bangkok Bank anyway 🙄 

Well i got a new debit card at BB without my name on it, the guy that dealt with me speaks a little English and said no Thai banks put your name on a debit card. Sure enough you were right, when i got home i set up a Netflix account and put Netflix on my smart TV by just entering my full name where requested.

Your Bangkok Bank card is a debit card. The card may be locked for online use, in which case you will have to ask the bank to unlock it.

419 THB a month subscribe to Netflix, fastest and best package 🙂

Well i tried to set up Netflix 419bht per month on my phone here in Thailand and i was doing fine and then they asked for my debit card details,

I then realised that my Bangkok Bank account ATM card is not a debit card as it does'nt have my name on it.

I'm going to Bangkok Bank this morning to hopefully get a debit card, does anyone know if i will be able to get one ? TIA

If i can't get one then no doubt i will have to buy the Gift card 500bht from 7/11 but i don't really want to go down this route.

Use a HDMI cable from your computer to your TV and use that to watch Netflix and anything else you can watch on your computer such as YouTube AD FREE.

Thanks for that but my TV's are in my lounge and bedroom upstairs, my PC is in my mancave so not really practical. I'm just going to take the easy way out and sign up to Netflix Thailand and pay the 419bht per month.

But a review of the articles I can find indicate that computers, tablets and phones are also subject to the ban on account sharing. 

 

I think this is being implemented country by country based upon the main subscriber's location and not all countries have been added yet.

My PC is working ok but my TV's not.

I think I read somewhere that password sharing was only being blocked on TVs and not on computers, tablets and phones. Can't find that article now, however.

That would make sense as to why i can view on my PC. My son in the UK is going to sort out for me as i'm a bit of a com dino, if he has to set up a new account for me so be it and i'll happily pay the 419bht for the premium package.

Thanks for your helpful post.

I just did, 400 baht... 5 minutes... not worth the hassle mucking around 🙂

 

Bingo, is that 400 baht a month ?

I have the same issue, no access on my TV's but surprisingly i have access on my PC. My son in the UK is looking into the problem but it may involve me signing up and paying for it myself.

Ok then what about '' A shark feeding frenzy'' ?

They remind me of pigs at the trough.

My IO here in Korat always asks for proof of the fact that my FTT into my Bangkok bank account is indeed derived from a pension. I supply them with a monthly pension statement showing gross and net income, they accept no problem.

The ointment is fantastic and very effective, the cream not so much so ( in my experience ).

 

The ointment in Thailand is about 180 baht for 5g, i travel a lot thru Dubai and can get 4 x 25g for approx 600 baht so i load up each time.

I agree but i'm having trouble sourcing it at my local pharmacies, it appears to have disappeared.

3 days ago, the 18th March, I got a pink bill. Never had a pink one before.

No idea if it is real or fake.

 

Yep i had the same pink bill for March, wifey phoned our local PEA and they confirmed they had changed the colour to pink, so OK.

That's because you are wrong.

The bank book and photocopies are requured for transfer of stamps.

BTW the balances were  very carefully checked. 

Not in my IO at Korat they were not when i had my stamps transferred in 2015. My ''ridiculous'' comment was aimed at the requirement by your IO, i just can't see the need for such information but i do understand that some IO's appear to act on their own requirements.

I'm telling you what occurred to me 2 weeks ago at CW.

I had the bank book with me as I had read reports of CW requiring this for transferring visa info and stamps from old to new pp.

Please post facts rather than anything Ridiculous 

and what i posted was not facts that you stated....

Aside note for others. 

Recently obtained new pp and had stamps transferred..

CW made me photocopy all pages of bank books. 

Perhaps a worry for someone using an agent for annual extensions

 Being Oz I cannot obtain the income letter

If I could, then thinking compliance with the money in bank requirements and embassy letter and perhaps couple of months transfers would be sufficient. 

Someone who has actually done the process can outline what they did.

Ridiculous, WTF has a bank book got to do with passport renewal and stamp transfers ?

Just a thought OP, have you ensured that your monthly income transfers are designated by your Thai bank as coming from overseas ?

Looks a real beauty in immaculate condition, good luck with the sale.

That is the second one in the last hour that shows DWP will and do prosecute and penalise, those they catch.
 

The new bill and powers will just make it easier for the DWP

I never got caught, i informed them of my change of address to Thailand but i was late in doing so, i was totally honest with them but they showed no mercy.
