  1. I agree but doubtful any would accept him or actually pay out at his age and with what they'll say is a pre-existing condition anyway.
  2. I can walk in to any K-bank today with just my passport and Elite Visa and open an account. It's one of the few decent perks they offer for their overpriced visa.
  3. Wait it out, it will most likely be taken back eventually, let the bank handle it. Like you said, you might not have even noticed. It's only illegal if you spend it all and/or refuse to return it when the bank orders you to.
  4. The same way he knew the Thai woman with him was his wife was his wife.
  5. A suspended sentence means as long as they don't break the law again during that year, it's considered served. But yes, surely they'll be long gone either way.
  6. I guess you are sending to a Kasikorn bank account. For me and other users who have commented here, anything over $1000 to Bangkok Bangkok, takes 24-48 hours.
  7. Yes it's possible that if he had Kasikorn, it would be instant.
  8. Anything over 1000 USD has never been instant for me to Bangkok Bank, next day usually as the other user said. If your friend needs more instantly, they can send it in multiple transfers of 1000 or equivalent and the fees are only a few dollars more that way.
  9. Instant as long as I don't send over $1000 USD.
  10. Yes it has happened to me a few times at 7-11s that are almost always busy with many tourists. Now I stare at the screen as they are scanning and if paying in cash, check my change before leaving and also the receipt. Never happened at a 7-11 outside tourist areas though and they are always very friendly and helpful there.
  11. You don't know me but It suits this farang. Boiling food in soup, not just water. But I agree, the grill places like Sukishi or AKA are much better.
  12. After looking at her social media accounts and seeing some dodgy stuff, this is highly likely. She has also already made 3 tiktoks on what she says happened, clearly trying to capitalize on the publicity she and her story is getting. Phuket Airport also posted a copy of the internal receipt for her order and I'm not sure what the Subway employees would gain from inflating her order cost.
  13. Who adds roasted meat to meatballs and tuna to chicken? And 3 extra portions of cheese, wtf. Definitely something fishy.
  14. Yeah scan to pay with QR should work with almost all drivers. You should consider Line Man as well if it has the food options you want, they have a decent english option now. They have no issue accepting cash or QR and we order food with them almost daily. Never have to wait 30mins to an hour for a rider to accept an order like often happened to me with Grab when I used it.
  15. It should be going to the staff. That's what I assume and I don't tip on top of the 10% or 17% when it's charged. If some staff don't receive it, that's their problem. If the 10% service isn't clearly displayed somewhere, you don't legally have to pay it apparently but it's not really worth causing a fuss over 90 baht.
  16. COVID is over, find something else to obsess about.
  17. Agreed. Like the people who complain about music from the bars. Go live in one of the many boring cities in Thailand then, where nothing ever happens.
  18. Losing your temper in a foreign country and assaulting a local is one of the dumbest things you can do. From that one shove, he just invited a lot more trouble and noise into his life.
  19. Good they got it on video. No cause to assault anyone like that, unprovoked. There are other ways to handle noise problems.
  20. It depends how she funded the transfer but that sounds right for that amount, yes. https://wise.com/gb/pricing/send-money?sourceAmount=3000&sourceCcy=GBP&targetCcy=THB
  21. Bringing or coercing girls, especially underaged ones , from their home towns to Bangkok, to engage in sex work, willing or not, is the definition of human trafficking. It's sick how this forum always has so many pedo defenders.
