This month I have received 3 emails from Paypal advising that Thai account holders can again use their services here. The emails required me to login and verify my creds. As I haven't used the account for decades I gave it a miss.

As a precaution I have saved the barcodes of both electric and water services to my phone, if the invoice gets water damaged,lost or we are away from home I can pay due amounts via bank app and scanning the saved barcode images.

For 10 years my units per month have been similar, but May and June this year were both up 25%. July units were back to historical levels. Some months ago an MEA guy looked at the meter took some details and left,same guy returned after last billing period took photos of meter and again to some details. Unusual,do I have a dodgy meter or am I a suspected tamperer? My home in Australia did have a faulty meter, it got noisy at times when this happened the disc stopped spinning.

How close have you come to being electrocuted in Thailand?
norbra replied to arick's topic in General Topics
Survived many in Australia,here I have been zapped twice. First time in un earthed house with Safety cutout MCB that was tripping frequently for no apparent reason,trying to eliminate possible defects got caught out checking the external front doorbell button mounted in a cast iron gate post. A bit of a surprise that my normal reactions (in AUS I would immediately be a metre away ) didn't kick in as I looked around for a safe landing spot. The second followed immediately after kitchen modernization including providing earth cabling to all power outlets etc which was done while I was in AUS. First touch of the microwave revealed that the active was connected to the microwave frame,so no protection from the Safety cutout MCB -

What has happened to Wise Transfers lately
norbra replied to khaepmu's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Today I brought my monthly 65k in 2 transfers both marked for long stay in Thailand. The first was from a taxable income and the second was non taxable. Both arrived in my Kasikorn account within 1 minute. I wonder why most Wise complaint posts include Bangkok bank in the issue. -
My last taxi ride from CW immigration had a digital meter small enough to attach to the sun visor. I was surprised that the fare was lower than normal,as the display was so small I could not read it easily.
