    A big problem with my company pension is that their rules state, it must be paid into a UK Bank account(they can tell by the sort code).

    Thus using Bank Bangkok avoids this problem, as advised, call them.

    They may be able to suggest a solution, they were more help than my old company !.

    Would you suggest contacting Bangkok Bank, London or getting advice from a branch here in Pattaya.

    i would like to get the bank letter the day before i go to chaeng wattana (CW).  then, update my bank book at the bangkok bank at CW.  so the date of the letter would not match the date of my visit to CW (day before) but the balance noted on the letter would match the balance on the bank book with the same date as my visit to CW.  (maybe i have to pay a 'fee' for this slight variance from policy).

     

    i'm getting into these fine details as i want to get out of CW as fast as possible.  i've been many times and always prepared for a long stay but prefer to avoid if possible.  i realize 'fast' and CW don't really go together. 

     

    there must be someone on TV that has been through this process (foreign currency account, bangkok bank silom rd, extension of stay at CW).  i hope they can provide some commentary.

     

    What has your comment to do with the question I originally asked.

  3. Had used Torrentz for downloading TV series and when that stopped switched to Torrentfunk but that doesn't work now. Tried Pirate-bay  nproxy but having trouble with that.  Any suggestions what I could try now.

     

  4. The problem is if I go to Lazboy then I will have the same problem again in another year. I really don't care if the arms will be an exact match to the rest of the chair. If the colour blends with the rest of the chair and lasts 4 years then I am happy.

    my thoughts precisely lelapin. A fair colour tone or match would suit.

    So where will do you think you will go for the service?

    I popped into the SOFA shop on Theppasit today (must be near Soi 7 or 9 southside i reckon) and as i was a farang (with :plenty of money" sic) he quoted B6,000 in leather for the two arms and he said they would collect and re-deliver. Busy so about 4 weeks to wait..

    What are your thoughts?

    PS. Sorry to read your comments White Christmas 13

    Thanks for info. I don't even mind if the arms are not done in leather. Would definitely not buy a Lazboy again.

    Sounds a reasonable deal from SOFA shop if they do a good job and collect and deliver

  6. The issue is matching the leather especially if it's a large area to fix.

    sorry JT but don't understand this post

    The OP has a Lazyboy chair that is covered in leather from their factory that has a specific color.

    I have the same type of thing, with really great Italian leather in a lovely color.

    The arm wore a large hole.

    I looked into get it repaired in Thepprasit and was always told: CANNOT.

    I think to really fix stuff like this it's at the Lazyboy factory or nothing. Unless you want to redo the ENTIRE chair in either leather (if a shop does leather) or new fabric.

  7. Call "A" at tel. # 0817437073

    He will come to your residence.

    Last I knew he charged 300 Baht for normal visit.

    He's competent and reliable.

    Visited me today. Worked for one hour and so far now everything OK. 300 baht.

    Many many thanks.

  8. This from the first post:

    Does anyone know a good English speaking computer engineer in Pattaya

    Please stay on the topic, failing that I will move the topic over to the computer forum.

    Exactly. Whilst I appreciate all the replies from people offering advice on how to solve the problem, I am an old farang who wishes to pay someone in Pattaya to solve it for me. So far I have had no replies to my request.

  9. not necessarily only a browser problem. it can also be related to a dns/router hack. Actually you should do a dns cache often to ensure your browser is not hacked.
    To clear your DNS cache if you use Windows 7, perform the following steps:
    1. Click Start.
    2. Enter cmd in the Start menu search text box.
    3. Right-click Command Prompt and select Run as Administrator.
    4. Run the following command: ipconfig /flushdns.

    As previously mentioned I am on Windows 10

  10. When trying to access a website from one that is already on the screen I am redirected elsewhere usually to a gaming website or a sales one.


    Other times the computer locks and will not move from the site I am on.


    Contacted Microsoft chat helpline who wanted 1399 baht but didn't convince me they could solve it. Therefore think my best option is to visit an engineer in person in Pattaya and go through the problem with him. The computer is only 6 months old. I had the problem with Windows 8.1 and thought it might go away if if upgraded to Windows 10. It hasn't and is in fact worse.
