I dont think  that this deserve a thread on TV

Maybe he should have asked a better way to sell things in Thailand.

I hate selling on FB because of the tyre kicking, cheap Charlie time wasters. 

How many places did you try to post at once?  I was looking at a Mac computer for sale. I got a bit suspicious about the add. Checked via sellers profile and they had it listed on 64 different Facebook grouos in thailand. 

I got a lady from a bar pregnant. I looked after her and baby when born. I had had Thai Friendly from a long time back.  I looking one day and found her profile set up while she was pregnant. Did further searching and found 5 profiles. She asked me to set up a Facebook profile for her which I did. After I did she change the name to Thai and then blocked me. 

Was going to get a T Shirt made up "you might be number one but you are not the only one"

Requirements?

 

Can somebody tell me what the requirements are currently for a falang to get a credit card at Bangkok Bank.

WP / Visa / Fixed Deposit, etc.

 

I have had an account with them for a few years. To get CC I had to open fixed deposit account in the amount of the CC limit. Plus passport was all that I needed.

My computer holds information from Prayuth promising elections by at least 5 previous dates.  Would someone please charge him for distributing false information, totally wrecking any chance the country had of any reasonable reputation and his contribution for lowering the medium intelligence level of the human race. That is, if he qualifies.

No. You are the guilty one for keeping his, ummmmmm, misinformation on your computer. That could hurt him. ?

Got a couple from Bangkok Bank in Ramintra Road last year. Took a couple of weeks. Perhaps being out of BKK it takes longer?

Yes they said application had to goto BKK for approval. But did say about 2 weeks. Now 5.

I had a similar problem with BKK bank and in the end I was phoning the Head Office. Unfortunately the English speaking boy does not know the rules/requirements so I had to go back to the branch I applied, explain to them and they got onto Head Office and sorted it out.

BKK Bank was once a god bank but recently they have gone to the dogs, service poor, their stupid ideas of ATM cards and lack of knowledge on CC's

My other 2 banks (SCB and KK) are far better

Thanks for the info. If I don't get it in another 2 weeks, 7 weeks total, I will close fixed deposit account and open elsewhere and try for card. Its not as if they have to check my credit profile out as they have the cash locked away.

Hi just wondering if anyone has applied for a Bangkok Bank credit card recently and how long did it take?

Applied at branch in Chiang Mai and used a fixed deposit account same value as requested limit. Was told 2 weeks. I have been back in twice to ask including today at 5 weeks. Asked when. "Maybe end of month. Maybe end year" was answer.

i used to think this place was primitive; now i search for lower descriptions

Unfortunately I don't think they have reached that level yet.

Because your kitchen wall is at the fenceline doesnt mean its legal and hence doesn't preclude the authorities from asking for it to be removed if they inspected it and found it to be non compliant.No issue if its never checked but leaves a homeowner at risk if the authorities decided to enforce the law.

Yep, just stating a fact. Actually seems to be a fairly common practice in this relatively new moobaan.

I am in a moobaan in Chiang Mai and my back kitchen "wall" is literally built on top of the fence. There is a house in the adjacent yard.

Ubers days are numbered, you pay peanuts then you complain. 

You need to complain if there is a problem so they can fix the problem. They don’t know they have problems if no one tells them.

Hi all,

 

I have been in Thailand since November 2017, so far I have used two tourist visas, and now 4 visa exempt entrys(with 2 extended). I am going to Myanmar on the 15th of this month for 4 days, I am then coming back through on visa exempt(don muang). I am getting another visa exempt because I am only staying for 20 more days then going home. 

Do you think there will be an issue coming through this last time?. If so is they anything I can do on my end.

 

I will make sure I have 10k baht in cash and my flights out for proof. Is there anything else I should bring with me or have ready?

 

Last time I came in 2 months ago the IO asked "how long you stay this time"... If I was to get rejected this time, would there be any trouble? or just me getting a flight somewhere(i wont have a visa for Myanmar for I assume I can go to KL or Singapore?)

Cheers

Maybe start a new thread as this is not on topic about the TM30.

I called Uber via the app in Chiang Mai Thailand for a friend at my house. I watched the Uber driver goto the wrong gated community. My app clearly showed where she needed to go. She phoned and my thai friend spoke to her. Still could not find us. Driver called again and asked to send our location on Line. Still could not find us. In the end I told my friend to tell driver to wait where she was and I drove my friend to Uber driver. I then watched them and she went long way to take my friend home. Original quote was around 80 baht but she was charged 140 baht I guess due to time and distance. I complained to Uber, not so much about money, but the driver not being able to use the GPS and find us. They replied that they would talk to the driver and refunded me 60 baht.

The first few times I used Uber the drivers found me easily. The last few times they can not and goto a different gated community. I again complained to Uber as something in the driver app may have changed and making it harder for them. They replied with "thanks for the feedback" and that was that.

To complain you need to log into Uber (I did from my computer) and click on the trip you wish to comment on and find the relevant section.

In Chiang Mai you need to report within 24 hours if you have a new departure card.

Just walk in with passport and your old slip and you get an update.

 

Good luck

That's what I was told. TM30 tied to departure card so only need to update when you come back into country same address or not.

She gave me a A4 sheet of paper all it Thai,highlighted a section said give it to the landlord not your job come here he must do.

I have been renting this house about 8 months. First TM30 done by owner. I went out of country for one week in July. When I came back I notified real estate agent as I have no direct contact with the owner that he needed to get my TM30 updated. He told me it was my job to update. I did a fair bit checking and everything said owner has to do. Had a few arguments with agent and sent him a few quotes of who should do. Anyhow my wife returned last month. They did her original and told me in no uncertain terms that owners obligations were finished and we had to do it from now on. He said he doesn’t care what visa agent, lawyer, TV post says it’s al bs.

Yes. He was.  You might wish to ask him (but in its own thread) why he needs to single out any nationality, seeing as how every nationality has people with behavioral issues. No need for it here in this thread.

 

In fact, as the OP has come to a perfect resolution of the problem that first led him to start this thread, there doesn't seem to be any real reason to continue it.

Agree.

Who ever wrote this like using big words, but had no clue as to the reality of the difference between 'race' and 'nationality.'  Just because you see it in Wikipedia doesn't make it so. You or I could just as well have written the quoted piece. It doesn't require academic credentials to post in Wikipedia, nor does it require verification.

Whatever you want to call it the poster of #27 was singling out Brits and Ozzies.

It seems to me that :British " or " Australian" are nationalities....... Race is like "Caucasian" etc.

From Wikipedia:-

Among the questions about how to define racism are the question of whether to include forms of discrimination that are unintentional, such as making assumptions about preferences or abilities of others based on racial stereotypes, whether to include symbolic or institutionalized forms of discrimination such as the circulation of ethnic stereotypes through the media, and whether to include the socio-political dynamics of social stratification that sometimes have a racial component. Some definitions of racism also include discriminatory behaviors and beliefs based on cultural, national, ethnic, caste, or religious stereotypes.

Thank you.

Never having been involved in such a forum before, i had no idea that this was the norm.

 

Unfortunately it is the norm. I have posted on here with all the facts but human nature as it is things get changed, others read the changed "facts" and reply to that and so on. 

One particular poster you mention has commented on some of my posts before and not in a nice way. 

I am happy that things have worked out for you but still be wary as he still could have severe mood changes which you have mentioned.

I think the original poster mentioning "British or Australian" is British, so how that equates with being racist i'm not sure!
