  1. Dunno, in Glasgow a few years ago a suicidal jaggy laid down on the tracks, lost his arms and legs, survived
  2. Maybe he can explain his unusual wealth when he returns
  3. In UK, train drivers would get 6 months off work for that
  4. You've probably missed the threads where people have their address as Thailand i.e. receiving debit card in Thailand and suddenly they get notice their account is being closed, it depends on the banks, i think i recall posts for HSBC, NatWest and Barclays closing accounts, but it could be any bank if they decide they want them closed, hence the reason for the thread
  5. Of course it does, the person who processed it accepted it was basically a fake address you never lived at, that could easy change in the future, but reassure yourself it wont happen you'll feel better that way. Banks can close accounts when they know you live abroad, it happens can take years, maybe just a policy change or more strictly applied
  6. I avoided Pattaya for 15 years because of the rubbish people use to repeat, i put those years to good use though travelling around Thailand and other countries
  7. Usually when you make a transfer it gives you the option to save as a favourite payee or payee and amount
  8. That may well change in the future, probably just one administrator overlooked it
  9. Yes you can get interest on cash with Wise, they were sending out emails about it recently. Balances moved to cash Funds or something like that
  10. Except you're meant to have a UK address with them, ok they are relaxed about it, for now anyway
  11. They may still close your account if you have Thai address
  12. People can highlight the issue like they did closing politicians accounts or not bother, up to them, it's not an issue if everyone rolls over like you
  13. You're stating the obvious, it's a good opportunity for those people to get on the same bandwagon, highlighting an issue for expats
  14. should consider getting on Nigel Farages database, the time is right https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/07/26/my-war-on-woke-banks-is-just-getting-started/
  15. Good, to stop these pitbulls you have to go for the kill
  16. Why not AC? cost?
  17. You can be content doing nothing, they made a show about it, Seinfeld. Maybe stop searching, give up trying to find something just go day by day doing what you feel like doing
  18. Yep, but it's an inconvenience for circ 250 baht
  19. maybe that was the warning
  20. Maybe Maori are the exception, plus the thai girls that have 1 village tattoo on the back
  21. It would be a mistake to quit, that's what they want, see a lawyer, a few thousand well spent. But she could be coming to the end of the road there one way or another
  22. Depends if you want to pick up another lady, if not take the girlfriend
  23. I bought something, seller from China sent wrong item, it's not worth the effort to send back for 250 baht, i go for a refund based on not sending back to China, delay in it being approved so i tried giving a 1* poor review, refund gets approved within the hour, of course the review now disappeared which is why the refund was given. Anyway a good option to try if you don't want to send back. This may work if someone only had a limited number of reviews already, if they've had 1000s, they won't care as it won't impact the % much or at all
  24. Get on thaifriendly like the rest and meet farang that way
