I have had 2 attempts at butchering this pig. Both times I received a text asking me was I a tour guide in Bangkok. I said no. But the first "lady" started asking questions on where I lived. I told her Chiang Mai. She then said her and her sister were coming to Thailand for a holiday and if they came to Chiang Mai could I show them around. She claimed she was in Singapore. She sent me "her" photo. Very attractive. Chats went on for a week or a bit longer then the questions about money and investments started. I let it go for awhile knowing generally what they were after. I let her know it was a scam and blocked her. Happened a few months later with a similar theme but this time I ended it quickly.

Once boarded a QANTAS 747 flight from Hawaii to Sydney. Nothing happened for awhile but then captain announced they had a warning light on the Auto Pilot and he and the crew were not prepared to fly all that way on manual at night (flight due to take off around midnight). They were in contact with QANTAS maintenance and were looking at several options. The captain kept us updated as to what was happening. In the end advice was given that it was not an issue and we took off. The downside was the airport had closed at midnight and we were not able to go back into the terminal and due to not actually taken off there were some laws not allowing serving of alcohol and other things. We ended off taking off at 3am. We were late for our connecting flights to Brisbane. As per usual people were complaining.

Once happened to me. Not sure what happened but I think partly my fault and a slow cash deposit machine. It took money, closed door then shut down. Fortunately it was located outside a Bangkok Bank branch. When inside and notified them. She made a couple calls and told me to wait awhile. About 30 minutes later we went outside and she opened machine and money returned.

Yes but not so much Bitcoin but another crypto.

Yes it did match description. I first received the US tracking number with a few movements shown. After no movement for a time I emailed support and received the second China tracking number. Like you say when the China tracking showed that item left China so did the US one. When item deliver (from China) the US tracking also showed delivered.

Recently ordered a shirt on Facebook. Company in the US but said item would be sent from China. I was given a tracking number which showed movement in the US. After no movement in awhile I contacted support who provide me with another tracking, this one from China. I contacted support about 2 totally different tracking numbers and they just said yes, one from country or origin and one in destination country. Neither showed Thailand. Anyhow I watched both tracking and both showed left China or US. Yesterday the parcel arrived and showed on both tracking sites as delivered. Anyone know the reasoning for this?

Cousin. lol

They don't get jealous. They are happy. The farang is paying for everything and the Thai guy still gets his rumpy pumpy. Knew a Thai bar girl once and I found out later her husband used to drive her to the bar to work. Later I was introduced to him as her cousin. A couple of times we actually talked about xes with his wife. Just said to me she does not like too much.

It's only happened to me twice in several years of using QR code and usually an ATM is not far away but, to some members, an ATM is apparently not an alternative. Been here over 10 years and very few incidents with BBL.

You are either not capable of thinking or a troll who gets his kicks from putting other people down. Now you join my ID 10 T quarantine list.

If you were capable of thinking is an ATM not an alternative method? Good luck your life.

Why is that strange? It was a bar I had not been to before and they did not know me so one of the ladies came with me.

I have lived here 10 years and I don't rely on 1 payment method but asking if people have had the same experience.

It was outside these hours at 12 midnight exactly. I cant say what, if any, other banks have the same issue but, again, the cashier did say QR not work after midnight.

I guess not just the bank as the cashier at the bar said QR code doesn't work after midnight so obviously has happened with a lot of other customers.

I have been using QR code scanning to pay for things more often for convenience and avoid carrying too much cash around more lately. I am with Bangkok Bank. A few months bank I tried to pay bar tab at 3am but did not work. Had to be escorted to ATM. I thought just a glitch with app or bank system. I am usually not out very late but last night went to pay my bar tab right on midnight. Did not work. Bar staff just said QR code does not work after midnight. Anyone else have this experience? What's the point of having a system like this if it doesn't work 24/7?

I haven't used transport from Chiang Mai for several years. But I remember a taxi from airport to city centre was 150B. I used to live close to the airport and used to pay over 200B and I remember one time 400B. The other day first time in nearly 5 years used transport from CM airport. When I arrived I used the Grab app. Received a message from driver to goto grab pickup point. Surprised to see a big sign and tent with Grab logo. Cost to goto my house that had perviously cost more than 200 and unto 400?......... 141B.

maybe you need to get a sense of humour.

Maybe we should be politically correct and call them personholes with pronouns it/that?😉 BTW I identify as a TRANSparent with pronouns of who/where.

Possibly the outdoor fan runs more when the compressor is not running to cool the electronics which there is a stack of in an inverter. Good to save money when running but cost a fortune the electronics fail.

More technology, less humanity. Lucky they actually talked to you. I was at a cafe recently when a family of 4, I would suggest mum and grandma and 2 kids around teenage years. All 4, including the older lady all on their mobiles and not talking to each other let alone any stranger. The son actually paying with 2 phones.

The internal fan always runs when AC unit is on so it can circulate the air and monitor temperature so it knows when to stop/start the compressor in the outdoor unit. The outdoor unit fan basically only runs when the compressor is running as that is when the heat is needed to be removed.

From Thailand? I looked on their site and a Singapore address needed.

Only ever used CC and no problems. A few issues and always go my money back. Pre paying comes in handy when you get a parcel ( I was confused as I had not ordered anything) and they say 790 baht COD. I just said never order COD and walked off. Only happened once.

Hello, I am an Australian expat and have lived in Thailand last 10 years. I need to visit Australia soon for family health reasons. On my last visit I found out I had been "kicked out" of Medicare due to being outside Australia for more than 5 years. I need to re-apply if I go back including proving I have left Thailand like closed bank accounts, rental lease terminations, etc. So I am looking for travel insurance for travel to Australia, mainly to cover me for any medical emergencies. Most policies I have looked at are for travel from Australia, even Thai companies. So has anyone had experience and who di they buy from?
