Errr… you forget that he is a 20 year old student! That’s what they do. But having woken up, his reaction was immediate and strong: he began to kick the windows and clawed his way out just before the van exploded 3 or 4 times. The only survivor. Amazing

Yes “loan” becomes “gift” in 5 easy steps. Loan —-> Loon —-> Loot —-> Loft —-> Lift —->Gift Sorry, but you won’t get the money back. Don’t waste time finding a lawyer because you will be throwing good money after bad. If you go to the police, they will say it is breach of contract and not theft. As it is not a crime they won’t help you and will tell you to go to lawyer.

Does anyone else have experience of transferring with XE? I am registered with them as UK resident and my bank is HSBC UK. I have just done comparison between WISE and XE and what you receive at the other end in your Thai bank account is similar. My experience with XE: so long as the transfer amount is over £250 then XE does not charge a fee. My Thai bank account is SCB. Although the transfer from HSBC to XE is straightaway, the money is sent to SCB HQ in Bangkok. SCB will transfer to my account in Hua Hin on a working day and not at weekend or public holidays. So if I transfer on Friday afternoon, I will not get the money into my account until Monday or Tuesday, depending on public holidays. OK for me, so I continue to use XE, but I appreciate other people are not so patient. If I transfer on Tuesday, I will get the money on Wednesday. Again not XE’s fault as any delay is by SCB in Bangkok. There is a legal requirement to give reason for transfer. I always choose “living expenses” on XE’s drop down list. Never a problem with that. XE customer care works ok too. I had a problem with a transfer because the WiFi cut out in the middle of the transfer. Their care team member was very quick to answer my questions about whether the transfer had gone through or whether I needed to start again. I have heard only good reports about WISE, but I am happy to use XE as I am used to their system and screen layout. XE has app to check currency exchange rates. I use their app to do the transfer as well, but they also have a web page for those who don’t use the app: https://www.xe.com

It happens in Farangland too, although the guy in the example below is not a cop https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11413045/EXCLUSIVE-Pictured-Senseless-irresponsible-driver-avoided-jail-blocking-ambulance.html

anterian does not need to guess. If he had read the whole of webfact’s report he would have found the answer to his question straightaway.

Periodically, people wonder out loud why there are so few posters on this site; it’s the same small group of people who always post. Why is that? Your post ^^^ is the answer. No one likes to be publicly flamed so they remain silent or they join another website which is more polite and tolerant. if in doubt, you should feel able to ask any question on this site. Better than going to Immigration and then causing a blockage in the queue because you have not prepared your paperwork properly. Never assume that your common sense is perfect. If you assume you may make an “ass” out of “u” and “me” (ass + u + me = assume. Yes, ok I’ll get my coat)
