  1. I'm trying to find a good way to store money. I bought a good strong safe from Global and now want to sell it as I think too many people know about it. I used to keep money in Wise which was fine but realise I may have difficulty putting money in or taking it out when I am in the UK.
  2. I thought it was the Thai's who had the low IQ's, not the Russkies. 🤣
  3. "all would be passengers should be required to submit a registered IQ identification card." But what about Thai passengers?? 😄
  4. Yes one of them is the Krungsri and the Government bank, cannot remember the other one. My main bank is the Bangkok Bank but it is 15 Ks away.
  5. I want to open a second bank account, this time in my village. No cards, no apps, just a bankbook, there are 3 banks, one is the Government bank which my wife recommends. I hate the Thai government. My wife has lived in the village all her life and would know best. If you lived in a village with 3 banks would you choose the government bank? What are the plusses and negatives of it?
  6. I used to be with one in Bangmunnak every Sat afternoon, now they are all dead or gone away. I admit it, I sure miss the company of guys from the UK.
  7. Yes, in a shop, Mall and market, but not now, when I was younger.
  8. Back in 2005 I travelled from the UK to Thailand with about £38,000 on my person. Was never stopped by immigration, though whether I could do that today is another matter.
  9. Maybe you should be getting a membership of the "scared of your own shadow" brigade.
  10. If that was me I would be going all out to find him and yes I would be violent unless he was going to take me to an ATM.
  11. Yes I can understand that, but I also like mixing with Americans as I have a lot in common with American people and have a lot of knowledge of their country and have travelled or driven over most of it.
  12. Demand a refund.
  13. How did the prescription what?
  14. Apart from the odd person, Thai men are among the biggest cowards on earth, they will not stand up to you one on one, but are big men when their mates are with them.
  15. It was great when I first came here, I don't dispute anything any expat says about Thaksin as he was in power in I think his final year then. There was no compulsary 90 day reporting then, just a pleasant 200Ks ride to the border every 90 days. All my expat friends were happy then. Contrast that with now, I have only the odd farang friend now who both live far away from me. the rest have either died or gone back to their own country. Too many negative immigration issues now.
  16. Who committed the worst crimes Thaksin or Prayut, for a start Prayut was not even elected, he took over the country with an illegal coup, and only stayed in office because he was backed up by other soldiers and their tanks and guns, and this was for 9 years, and left office probably a lot richer than Thaksin. So who really was the bigger criminal?
  17. What is the average cost of someone starting afresh to get a driving license in the UK? I may be wrong, but taking everything into account. I think it could cost a bit more than £1,500.
  18. I had full driving licenses, car, PSV, HGV in the UK for over 40 years. No accidents. With the exception of health reasons which I don't have at present, if I went back to the UK and wanted a driving license and they started making things difficult for me I would pay the £1,500 for it as it would be a victimless crime, and I have proven my driving abilities. Today in Thailand, if it was being made hard for me to renew my motorbike license, I would not hesitate to pay "under the table" for one as I have proven my ability to handle a motorbike with over 17 years of riding experience with no accidents.
  19. I got rid of them years ago, I asked for a credit card, I had a work permit which they asked for as well as a substantial amount on my account, they told me fine it will be through in about 2 weeks, after 3 weeks I went to ask for it then they told me it had not been approved. I then told them to cancel my account there and then, and where to stick their bank.
  20. What was the fuel consumption on it? I had one 10 years ago. could not fault the bike but the fuel consumption was dreadful.
  21. My house has 5 rooms not including the living room. My wife's son who is a solar panel engineer fitted 6 solar panels as well as everything else, not batteries, done the lot for 70.000Bt about 12 years ago.
  22. I feel the same as you, I have had my solar for 12 years now, do you know if it will have to be upgraded in the future?
  23. Woman with really short hair look like lezzies. Very unfeminine.
  24. Speed bumps slow down emergency vehicles and can also cause lives as well as help to save them. but you can bet if someone dies because they could not get to the hospital in time because the ambulance was slowed down by speed bumps you will never hear about it.
