Bank account issue - Refused
alanrchase replied to JGV's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Not sure exactly what you are trying to do. If you want the same account with the same number at a different branch then it cannot be done. Part of the account number is for the branch that the account belongs to. If you are opening another account and you want to transfer the money from your old account then just open an account. Don't confuse the bank by mentioning transferring anything, just open the account and transfer the money once it is opened. -
You can buy new 10 inch tablets on Lazada for about 1,000 baht. I doubt they are anything special but probably fine for your kids to play with.

Medical oxygen cylinder- safe to leave in a hot car?
alanrchase replied to poppysdad's topic in Health and Medicine
I wouldn't worry. I used to work on aircraft in the Middle East and there was a small emergency oxygen bottle attached to the ejection seats. Sometimes the aircraft were parked in direct sunlight at midday with the canopy closed and there was never a problem. The cockpit temperature easily exceeded 52C. -
I withdrew the money from my wallet to my bank today using the app, the transaction was instant.
-
Go to your wallet on the app, tap on the amount in your wallet and select withdraw on the page that comes up. From memory you will have to provide your bank details and picture of your passport photo page. I have done it several times before so it remembers my details and only takes me a minute to do a withdrawal now.

Went from 68 to 74kg and had to buy some new jeans as the old ones were too tight. Couldn't get on with the fit of the new jeans so went back down to 68kg so I could fit into the old ones again.

Confusing situation
alanrchase replied to BenStark's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I suppose it may vary with each immigration office but I did my online 90 day with Ratchaburi immigration about 10 days ago, extension valid till 23 March and 90 day approved with next report date due on 7 April. -
Thai air force to battle surging fine dust pollution crisis
alanrchase replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
It's a conspiracy theory to suggest that in the West cloud seeding is dismissed as a conspiracy theory. I was taught about in in geography class at school 50 years ago. -
It's effectively 10 baht a month for the convenience of a mobile phone, hardly greedy.

Humans have been hunting wild animals for food for hundreds of years and still do. Wild boar, deer, rabbit, pheasant, partridge etc. -
Identification at airport
alanrchase replied to LauChan's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Before biometric passports were a thing there was an entry on the " observations" page of a new British passport that stated that the holder previously travelled on passport number ×××××××××. They would also note down any bans from travelling to certain countries. All that information is now on the chip in the biometric passports. -
I keep typing agent in and usually get one within a couple of minutes. They are always very helpful.

Recieved a chopping board this morning. I ordered size 32×48×1.8 and size 24×32×1.8 was delivered. Partly blame myself as the price was significantly lower than other sellers which is often an indication that things will not be as advertised. Been bitten several times ordering a bargain hoping that this time it will be as advertised but it has never happened yet. No doubt I will be tempted again in the future.

The smaller bits in the sink are gritty, possible that ants have carried them into it. Took it apart a little bit more and you can see where the left hand contacts have been arcing.

The CB has nothing to do with the aircon unit other than being a switch in the power supply to it. The unit happens to be a Mitsubishi, the CB is made by Panasonic.

Had a power cut last night just after I went to bed. Switched the aircon CB off just in case of a spike or similar when the power comes back on. When the power came back I switched the aircon CB on and could hear a sizzling sound. Decided it was best to leave it off and check things in the morning. Took the CB out this morning in order to show the shop what I wanted (not helped by the contractor leaving no spare wire length) and got a new one. Decided to take the old one apart just out of interest. Couldn't believe the amount of crud in it. Pic of CB and the extra crud that fell in the sink as it came apart.

alanrchase replied to pjbkk's topic in Visas and migration to other countries
Mine do and were accepted as proof of address for UK passport renewal. Colour copy required but I just gave them the original. -
Thai tourism revolution: Duty-free ditch and booze bonanza
alanrchase replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I bought a carton of duty free cigarettes in Heathrow duty free for an extortionate price only to find there was no smoking anywhere in the terminal. The cigarettes were half the price in Bahrain airport duty free. -
