  1. The reason is that the cards are produced and sent from elsewhere. When the first card was lost in the post I asked my bank to send the second one per DHL, they told me that they never physically handle the cards to be able to do this, the banks own card producer does all this. Yes German banks are lousy service providers, beaten only by British banks in this respect.
  2. My bank does have an app (I've never looked in to it) but having written over 20 emails to the bank asking for help and advice (including the bank manager) nobody mentioned the app as way out. Now my bank's website wont even let me look at my account because every 2 or 3 months you have to synchronize your card with your account by using...you guessed it.... a tan number.
  3. Only a suspicious, skeptical, small minded person would think that a Thai official whose sworn loyalty to the crown and the people forbids him to be involved in corruption could do such a thing, he should look to his political masters as an example on how to behave. ????
  4. . Here's an update on my bank saga. I received my new bank card but can't use it because my tan generator has to be replaced with a modern one, unfortunately to order one you need a tan generator and the company that produces them for my bank doesn't deliver outside of Europe. I have a friend and ex-colleague in Germany who ordered and paid for one for me and sent it by DHL, DHL is now on strike. My bank, who previously said it can't be done without a tan generator, have sent me money, bank to bank to my account in Thailand, takes about two weeks, well better than nothing but after a week of waiting my bank informs me that there is something wrong with the account number they have given Bangkok bank who have requested clarification so would I send them more info (they fricked it up). I should be able to use an ATM with my new card but the post with the new PIN number hasn't arrived (it's two weeks overdue), maybe Covid backlog is to blame or, like my first card I was sent, it got lost in the post. So after two months without income at the moment we are surviving on spaghetti sauce with rice and wondering how to pay the land tax and the electricity bill. The cosmos does not wish me well. An example of our complete lack of control over our lives, causality is king.
  5. Considering all the Russians in the country it's a wonder that a few favours haven't been returned, like a fall from a high rise building.
  6. Crime of passion without intent to kill, in Thailand he could get away with 4 years.
  7. Hopefully there will be an autopsy, his death may not be due to a crime but a fit healthy 17 year old boy doesn't die without a reason.
  8. So who is going to do the scrutinizing?......who's that laughing?
  9. Yes, no way is he going to snitch on a club member.
  10. All part of the charm, like the waiter saying "OK, that was the tip but where is the back hander"
  11. Not on my watch.....what?.....oh ,Well I was probably in Paris at the time that happened, I'll erm, look into it.
  12. Be fair, at least they weren't playing bridge with a group of old expats.

  14. After a 6 week wait I have finally received my new bank card from Germany only to be told it wont work on my tan generator, I need a new chip tan qr generator (which my bank doesn't supply outside of Europe). I have a friend in Germany who will buy one from the banks website (very modern, you can only buy online these days) and send it to me by DHL. My question, has anybody here used this generator with a WISE transfer, bank to bank and how does it differ from the old generator method, is a new WISE set up required etc.
  15. Like telling a cat to stop hunting mice.
  16. Swooped no less, the BIB must be outfitted with superman capes.
  17. Everyone wants an STI on the firms time.
  18. Yes, a passport belongs to the state not to you, it is a means of identification which you have to pay for.
