I wouldn't want to deal with a bank that claims it's an EMI on it's own webpage. If you're too stupid/ignorant to follow the link, or read the quote from their own website I posted it's probably better I put you on ignore. No need for any discussion.

No it isn't ....... Revolut, as an e-money institution (EMI), protects your money through “safeguarding”, which differs from how your money is protected by banks in the UK through the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). It is important to know this difference and we have put together this blog on how your money is protected with Revolut through “safeguarding”, and not through FSCS. https://blog.revolut.com/how-we-keep-your-money-safe/

Bob doesn't seem all that happy with his educated wealthy respectable Thai woman (according to previous posts). Maybe it's time for him to try a bar girl?

Double post

No woman is ever satisfied with anything! If Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp & Prince Charles can't satisfy their wifes ........ what chance do we have?

Still cheaper than a western wife/gf. 120kbht = under 3,000 pounds.

Can't imagine there are any guys over 40 in the UK getting it 25x a year. Let alone the over 60s.

My Thai daughter has an education, spent 3 years extra in high school, 4 years getting her degree, speaks perfect English an makes 20k/month + free condo. Hardly worth her time or my money. She wouldn't look twice at a western foreigner.

Every hooker I ever took home was nicer than my educated virgin schoolteacher Brit wife. Cheaper too!

It's been my experience that a lot of foreign guys (loads on this forum) in Thailand aren't looking for much sex. Seems they mainly want a replacement for their moms, bit of housework and cooking.

I've encountered many fit young decent looking tourist white guys dragging pigs from their homelands around with them.

Only if you're a foreign man.

2 weeks in my case. I was thinking I needed a new VISA, regular sex and a womb to gestate my baby in. No mention of love, it was a purely expedient decision. And it's worked out far better than any previous choices I made for love.

Looks like a lot of accounts being closed are because the source of funds is unclear. People having their pensions being paid into their account should be more secure.

$5k/month or $5k a go?.

So 3 more months with no milk?

You didn't read the story of HSBC closing the elderly Scots couples account and posting them a cheque for 35,000 pounds then, despite them both having their state pensions paid into it and using it for all their outgoings. https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/saving/article-12340459/CRANE-CASE-vulnerable-laws-got-debanked-HSBC.html

GiffGaff SIM, they'll post it from the UK to Thailand 10UKP phone credit required (good for OTP). Skype UK phone number, makes you appear to be calling from a UK landline, $88/year(no good for OTP). UKpostbox.com, street address makes you appear to live in the UK 120UKP/year.

7th grade = first year of high school age 12 (Matthayom 1).

I had a hive hanging from one of our mango trees. Everyone came round for a look and to tell us how lucky it was. After around 5 months they moved on. Never caused any harm or stung anyone. Why are you so concerned?

Not to your face anyway ............... But I'll bet money you were 'the farang' when they spoke to other Thais about you.

I think the world should be divided into two sections. You get to choose at age 20 in which section you live, but you're there for the rest of your life. Section 1 Everyone is forced to comply with extreme nanny rules 'for their own good'. Eating/exercising/alcohol/drugs/sex/traffic/holidays all tightly controlled. Section 2 You can do whatever you like, but don't blame us if you die age 25. You can live in section 1 and I'll take section 2.

A more green solution would be to prohibit people living/developing/building homes in arid/desert areas. Nothing green about irrigation.

I've always preferred to live in the modern world with the latest tech. So no, I don't wish I had. When I moved to CM in 2009 it was still a bit too backward for me. Dial up internet, True was the only TV option, only books on paper, just not satisfactory.

But it's a question that everyone will view in a different way.
