Two days ago I took out 8000 B from the savings bank ATM with my EU visa card.

Everything went well except the ATM did give me my 8000 B.

We went into the savings bank and asked if they could help.

They say I have to call the call center.

The next day the 8000 was taken from my EU account.

So I called the saving-banks call center and they told me they could not help me so I lost 8000 B.

Is this normal in Thailand?

I wonder if the customers will get the stolen money back...

In 12 years here I only experienced 1 time being denied buying beer

And the local villa market sells alcohol 24/7/365 all day.

A bar girl put drugs in his drink to make him drink more 

Do this improve or harm the reputation of thailand?

I guess money is money...

Do I need to do TM38 when I return to my own house? (i have yellow book and pink id)

I guess these people do not have a university degree

"You can complete the 90-day reporting within 14 days before or up to seven days after".

 

Has anyone tried online reporting. I want to try it for the first time next month and always thought it was 7 days before due date and 7 days after. Can anyone confirm? Thank you 

14 before and 7 days after.

I only use online reg. Of tm47. Works fine for me

I wear a face mask to spare my lounges for the air pollution.

10000 must be gold plated...

1 bath gold cost 30000 THB..

Welcome to the land of greed

I just wonder...

How can you avoid the ambulance people to bring you to the most expensive hospital?

I have social security at Kasemrad hospital in Bangkok and I am very happy with this hospital. Free medicine and cost only about 90 BTH

You mean something like this… 

Road travel

There are a high number of road traffic accidents in Thailand especially involving motorcycles. The World Health Organisation (WHO) rates Thailand as the world’s deadliest countries for fatalities on motorcycles.

To drive a car or ride a motorcycle in Thailand, under Thai law you must have the correct licence and appropriate insurance for the category of vehicle you’re using. You will need to apply for a Thai driving licence or, if you already hold a UK licence, an International Driving Permit. If you drive a car or ride a motorcycle in Thailand without a valid licence, this may invalidate your travel insurance if you have an accident or injury.

Motorcycles or scooters for hire in beach resorts are often unregistered and can’t be used legally on a public road. Before you hire a vehicle, make sure you’re covered by your travel insurance and check the small print of the lease agreement.

I saw the drivers license video yesterday at DLT. 1.5 hours later I had a new fine drivers license. The video was fine but it made me giggle since I know how Thais drive....

Welcome to Thailand...

I know many Thais that train their dogs to attach strangers...

I think he had a wallet and ID, but someone saw an opportunity for easy money.

 

Do this not require a work permit ?

I guess TH will be blacklisted and newer be able to host the world cup

I have never had a problem getting a re-entry permit...

I my country it is very difficult to find an ATM machine , Everybody use NFC.

We not have paper bankbooks for 30 years...

Velcome  to the future (present)

I do not use pp anymore after 10000 bath dissappear from my pp account 2 years ago.

And it is impossible to get help from support.
