BKK Bank due by April 30th?
BritManToo replied to Djinn91's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Me neither, but facial recognition is the way the Bangkok Bank app on new smartphones is now enabled. So without it, you'll be stuck with your existing phone forever. -
It's very easy, Voluntary contributions made to years before 2016 (new pension start) rarely make much difference to your pension expectations. Its years after 2016 that make the difference. If you had asked the Future Pensions "what years should I buy to increase my pension?" They would have told you.

Report Swiss Man Faces Arrest in Phuket Over Alleged Assault on Thai Doctor
BritManToo replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
He should have left when he had the chance. -
Well, my MiL is definitely Thai, and she only speaks some village language. When she comes and says (rarely) there are only three other old ladies in our gated village (250 households) that can chat with her. Now there might be a majority of Thais that can speak Central Thai as a second language, generally they don't, and they won't.

Opinion Russian Teacher to Thais: Drop ‘Farang’ if 'Ni Hao' Offends

I prefer to think of it as 'hiring them for a test drive'. -

Opinion Russian Teacher to Thais: Drop ‘Farang’ if 'Ni Hao' Offends

or ........ I've told you to stop bringing your work home. -
I spent two years learning central Thai (speaking, reading and writing). It was completely pointless because. 1. Most Thais we encounter don't speak central Thai (Southern Thai, Lao, Lanna are more popular). 2. Many Thais are too stupid to realise a foreigner is speaking Thai. 3. They hate you for knowing too much. Obviously I only speak with low class Thais, and don't know any Bangkok CEOs like the rest of you. Lots of tribal girls hanging about Chiang Mai, most of them can barely speak any Thai language, Akha, Lissu, Hmong, Arabic all fairly common.

Opinion Russian Teacher to Thais: Drop ‘Farang’ if 'Ni Hao' Offends

I avoid all contact with my wife's mother. If forced by circumstances to speak about her, 'Granny' (or Yai) is good enough. -

She translates English 'hot potato' to 'problem' when speaking Thai. Not sure what that has to do with anything on this thread. I used to sit in the cinema listening to the English movie, and reading the Thai subs ....... they never matched. -

It took them 9 years to notice my passport had changed numbers. It took them another 2 years to notice I'd never done 'facial recognition'. I'm prepared to bet I'll be dead before they notice my SIM isn't in my name. -

I only have government minimum insurance, and they pay DL or no DL. -

I've found a wife that can't speak my language is an advantage. Zero interest in her wittering on 24/7. Sadly mine learnt to speak English very quickly. -

Easy, I don't socialize with bunches of Thais ........ problem solved. Just me, and one female Thai is enough. -

I thought 'Ni How' was Hello in Chinese, and all the Thais like to boast about their Chinese ancestry. So how can it be offensive? -

How much income tax would they want on 2M being brought in? Hell no!
