Dee Money looks less hassle but its rate is much worse than the banks for transfers I would lose almost 11,000 baht , seems a rip off ??? If i cant get the banks to sort it out on monday I will close the accounts ,,,, One of the banks is SCB held for 30 years have had millions of baht through it money in from UK dozens of times , Im going to talk with them if I can get out of bed The other Bank is UOB which was Citibank they amalgamated last year and I often used Citi to make offshore payments , UOB supposed to be seamless but now they cant see the old data which shows all my incoming funds ???? so they wont do the transfer ?? spoke with them on Phone ,, the data is in Citibanks records ???? In 30 years I have never had a paper cert for incoming foreign transactions ,, and I have never met anyone who has ,, the banks usually look at the account records and can see the history of all the funds .

its the drains and sewer or septic tank very common problem in Thai systems due to badly designed plumbing or non existent U Bends and water traps -

Thai students rank below average in global education survey
liddelljohn replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
30 years I have been here and its actually got worse ,, not helped by low average IQ according to surveys supressed by Thai government , the surveys were done by WHO, UN and some Thai and other international educationalists back in the 90s add that to poor teaching , rote teaching and conformity you have a population of trained slaves just what the elite want -

Brainles young farangs on huge motorbikes in Pattaya
liddelljohn replied to vangrop's topic in Pattaya
I love riding BIG fast Bikes , Ducatis , kawasakis and er HD in Thailand and EU and most of the rest of the world, so dont ruin my passion I have been riding for 51 years and its a great pleasure ,, often ruined by idiots in Cars , trucks , Bus and brain dead pedestrians and worst of all Sicklists on their pedal thingys ,,, oh yes i also get it wrong sometimes but not around cities or people .. The level of ignorance I see daily is mind boggling -

OK maybe I have ben a bit unfair to Nord ,, My 5g AIS is very fast anyhing from 39mbps to 118mbps with low ping and latency and always giving good 4k and 1440 Kbits for video so I invesigated further , You tube and Netflix are faultless never buffer so its some channels on My X96max that are the problem its not the box itself its all up to date runs cool and has plenty of memory its just certain servers i like the shows from that seem to have issues and there is not much I can do about that , so may try Wizz IPTV for a while and see how that works out

Do you believe on Guru's,new age stuff?
liddelljohn replied to georgegeorgia's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
I lived through all the Hippy Flower power , era loved the music and the optimism , but saw the rise of all the crummy Gurus and the fake therapies and so on seen friends badly ripped off and mentally scared or exploited by it all , and other who live in Faerie land because of their so called insights ,, dont be fooled !!!! be scientific, be thoughtful and learn and dont believe everything , just like the media or politicians or normal religions all based on bull<deleted> and desire for power and money -
