Yes two weeks out of the full year if you are lucky.

If he moved back to the UK he would soon lose out by having to pay extortionate power bills. Or he could stop eating or even end up being one of the thousands of old folk who die from cold related illnesses every winter.

If they are living solely on a UK pension ask them what would have happened if they refused to pay any money back. They cannot take any money from their state pension.

No one has been prosecuted yet for living abroad and "fraudulently" claiming the annual OAP increases.

"Surely finding a Philippine address can't be that difficult." It would need to be a real one for the DWP to send the Proof of Life forms.

"There isn't the money to pay for overseas pensioners". Really!! There seems to be enough to pay for all these immigrants, legal and illegal, MP's "expenses" etc,etc,etc.

That was my first thought but Mrs Jones says nowhere to get that in village.

In a village?? Good idea in a large town or city.

Even more than Anutin and the unelected soldier PM in the last "government"??

It is a small clinic with a green cross in the main side street of my small town/village staffed by a doctor and two female assistants, one is I think a nurse and the other at the front desk. Any signs are in Thai.

I had an ear infection for the first time in my life which made lose a bit of hearing in one ear. I was very pleased with the treatment and cost by the doctor and his two female assistants. I would like to give them something to show my appreciation. Any ideas?

If you start reading about some particular incident, you are surely entitled to know what the outcome is, that's why it is in news in the first place.

I am on this thread, I got it in the Newsletter but did not know until now that it was in the other forum.

I agree, as long as they keep their goings on behind close doors.

Yorkshire?? Oh! Wait!

Now 96,800km and as per picture, well looked after, has had every scheduled oil change and maintenance at Yamaha dealer, no accidents. At that age and mileage has no resale we'll keep it until it stops, daughter now uses it six days a week to/from work until starting uni in June. Biggest single repair expense has been a new fuel pump 2500 baht in November. December 2023 bought the Honda Click 160 ABS. 69,900 baht and so far 3200km. Three weeks ago we did a 180km highway ride, all ok. Considered an ADV 160 but my wife and daughter found it too big to manage. Scooter life is great. Before moving here I'd always had bigger bikes, all the Japanese brands, two Harleys, a Cagiva and two new Triumphs. Now an auto scooter! Such is life... As well as Honda and Yamaha dealers there's also Lambretta and Vespa dealers in the city, Vespas are very popular with the better-off uni students and I see the dealer organises monthly group rides around the province for 150 and 300cc owners. Happy riding. Great bikes but very heavy on fuel, I'll just stick to Honda, although some of their agents are dodgy.

I was refunded yesterday, and no, I did not hand my card to a waiter, but after what you have said I will make sure my new debit card with another bank does not go out of my sight. Your second paragraph, everything you have mentioned has been done. Thanks.

Thanks a lot, that is very interesting. I have just had a message from Bangkok Bank that they have put 1,936.81 back into my account, so that was about 2/3rds of what was taken from my account.

Excellent post thanks, I think now that your last two sentences have got it right. Now that I think about it I did try to sign up for something like FM Movies, but not them, because they had a TV series I could not get with FM movies. So that's why your last two sentences make so much sense. Thanks again.

Yes, I took my wife with me as the tellers cannot speak much English, so I am just now waiting to hear from them.

I use QR codes everytime I shop at Makro's as they don't accept debit cards. I will start to use them more. I'm confused about your last sentence. Thanks for trying to help.

I will wait a little while and see what's best, I have just opened a new account with another bank and kept my Bangkok bank account open but only a deposit account as I transfer funds to my Bangkok bank from my UK bank through Wise.

I like the idea of deactivating the debit card when it's not in use, I will just need to look through the app and find out how to deactivate the card then activate it when needed.

Yes but mine was a debit card, that's why I thing I will not be refunded. Mine was not hackers I know who they are and have said so, they said they got my bank details from me but my debit card was in my wallet all the time.

My card has been in my wallet all the time, no one has access to it. The very first time it happened it appeared as an email. They must have had access to my email address as well as my bank details.
