  1. Looks like a strong case, although using cash on delivery is a bit strange for lottery tickets
  2. I paid the full price for a new bike when i went to pick up but that's because there were many in the shop, if it needs to be ordered in a deposit is likely
  3. Is that just the Edge accounts? thats £3-£5 a month, I don't use the account anyway being in Thailand
  4. I don't know about Tesco but Santander used to do cashback, that stopped a while back unless you had a monthly\annual fee account
  5. Good idea that using the Starling account for Wise transfers, i have a Starling account but very rarely use it, just a spare really
  6. If you can't use it at an ATM what's the plan if you have a trip to the UK and need cash?
  7. How did you switch from physical card to virtual card? i still have a physical card
  8. I've not heard of anyone using 6 months pay slip, they are looking for a reason you will go back to UK hence employer letter. i had a LTD company so provided co registration + self assessment
  9. Freak accident, taxi was going in opposite direction, talk about bad luck
  10. 10 years late, can reverse type 2
  11. Usually on Thaifriendly, fee includes bar fine. You'll be back next year
  12. An agent may be able to help
  13. When i first came to Thailand, arrived on a night train from Malaysia, got off some desolate train station 2am, only person there was a ladyboy (obvious it was), took me to a hotel (no other option), booked me in, then sodded off. All night i slept with one eye open expecting the door to open, it never did
  14. They wouldn't let me go early i had to go day after it expired
  15. Rarely buy anything to eat there but often get water and Pepsi when cycling. 7 Eleven has helped to make Thai people fat
  16. I don't know about these expensive 1600 baht places but it's common in massage shops around Pattaya to be 50\50
  17. A tip after you've paid 1600 isn't necessary, if you'd paid 100+ then yes a tip is required
  18. I find "Mai pen rai" useful (never mind), when things don't go quite right or a Thai does something stupid on the road
  19. In Pattaya an hour massage varies from 100 to 300 baht, I'd tip 50 baht but generally do the 100 baht massage as it's the same as 300. 1600 baht is just way too high, no tip needed. I'm assuming this isn't some kind of special massage, even they are cheaper than 1600
  20. ok wait until you're 70 when you won't have long left due to ill health. Aren't you diabetic? high blood pressure meds? you'll be very lucky to get anywhere near 80
  21. are you American? that terms isn't used everywhere
  22. No you don't, don't be so gullible
  23. The "injured" can be an even worse stat, head injuries etc etc Many low IQ farang with no helmet, plus the riding too fast farang. Alot of the risks can be mitigated
  24. This part is a problem for many, the rest is easy
  25. This website is currently down but you could email the guy and ask https://www.farang-deaths.com/
