So I just have to accept this. I have got the bank to close this account which now means I have to get a new bank card. How do I know this won't happen again? I have a debit card, does the bank not take any responsibility? Is this a Thai thing? It has never happened in all my years in the UK.

Who are they? Does anyone know? They have taken a total of 1306. 78 Baht from my bank account 3 times in the last 3 months. First payment 344. 82, second 352. 77, third 509.19 Baht. I have seen my bank about it, none of the staff can speak English so we used Google Translate to communicate with each other. The teller showed me a list of all my transactions in the last 3 months and highlighted the 3 times this happened. The teller I paid it with my bank card. How could I have paid it when I have never heard of Totalav.

Not sure if this is actually off topic. Can you be sued for defamation if while living in Thailand, you make a complaint in public about a company who is not based in Thailand?

Pattaya is really dreadful for this.

It is not all Thai's who are bad drivers, but the vast majority of them most certainly are, they are probably among the nicest people you could meet, but with their low IQ's and very sad lack of common sense, when they get start driving or riding on the roads, that is when everything comes to the fore.

There will always be cases where an insurance company will pay out, but so many times they don't. Supposing insurance companies never or very rarely paid out, they would all be out of business long ago.

I take it that this is only accident insurance and does not cover illnesses.

I would just love to know how many times insurance companies have actually paid out in circumstances like this in the past year.

That is a question that will never be answered in public, either by the family, hospital, or any authority. I am really referring to if he doesn't die and recovers, which I sincerely hope he does.

When I was about 14 years old a teacher tried to belt me in front of the class, I refused to hold out my hand, I was no angel, but in this instance I was 100% innocent. The teacher tried to grab my hand so I pushed him up against the wall, I was as tall as he was and he was really startled. To cut a long story short, it ended up with both of us going back in to the classroom.

They do, but any sort of violence is a big No! No!

Gay means Happy. Gay is a beautiful word and was stolen by people who prefer the same sex as themselves.

Thanks I have found this a big help.

Thanks Trans, I have managed to fix it myself just now.

On my desktop, my C disk is almost full. It is covered in red. I have deleted a couple of things, though not what I think is the obvious ones, but it stays covered in red. My D disk is completely empty. What should I do?

Do not own a car in Pattaya, unless you enjoy sitting at traffic lights for long spells. On more than one occasion I have sat in a car at traffic lights for at least 7 mins without moving. One morning around 8am I was in a car being driven with hardly any other traffic on the road, I wondered why, then saw most of the traffic queued up at traffic lights in different directions. The authorities in Pattaya need to see about readjusting the traffic lights all over the place. You would be better with a motorbike if most of your traveling is in Pattaya.

Under no circumstances give your passport to a motorcycle hirer.

Why Ozzies? In 20 years here I have never met any unlikeable Australians, or Americans either for that matter. I cannot say the same for the British.

Have your friend received your pension for the 5th June yet? No, nothing to do with proof of life.

Better to stick to your smartphone in future, now run along.

I have not had mines either for the same date, anyone else?

Idiot.

From what I have seen, the average Thai restaurant has the price plus about 17% taxes showing in the small print. Why is it in the small print? Obviously because they hope that customers won't notice it, and I would bet that most of them don't.

What is yt and tt. What is super noob? Have us posters supposed to be mind readers?

Some time back I was walking down a Glasgow street late at night, it was a wide pavement and four Eastern Europeans were walking towards me pointing at me and started shouting in a foreign language. One of them started walking fast towards me, I then got of my mark and started running. Good job I was a fast runner.
