KhaoSod reported: "One of the Myanmar workers disclosed that the employer had previously refused to pay compensation when one of his employees died from electrocution. Even if they said to pay this time, they no longer trust the employer’s words. He indicated that they would direct authorities to check the hillside behind the building site where workers who had died were buried."

There must obviously be more to the story that the workers are concerned about that is of such unimaginable consequences to behave like this.

Just replacing the bit that fell off with a price reduction to entice won't fix it. How about installing safety barriers or netting along the whole length of the line so that the public won't be in direct line of fire of things that will inevitably fall off again in future?

There were a lot of descriptions I could think of for Dan but love guru wasn't one of them.

3850THB is a bit more than I paid (20THB) at a government medical center. I think its about 50THB these days.

The stock price says its worth $1.9bn today, so $10bn sounds like hot air, ironic comes to mind.

Greenwashing.

Well it could as the poster you were replying to says the app already knows your bill so there's no need to QR code anything.

When Bitkub switched my trading off last year as a foreigner I moved my funds out. This month they offered via mobile app to accept new KYC docs and this was simply a photo of pp (which they had already) and a selfie in three directions! That was all, then wait for them two weeks to approve which they did - giving me 100THB trading fees credit. I still only have 2 baht in the account and it will probably stay that way.

So why were you asking about an international account to start with? If you have a US address?

Comments like this are as unhinged as the actions of the Swiss guy.

That's what they do at our condo in Bangkok. Seems to work OK.

Looking on the bright side, at least she missed the concert.

You are asking us to remember a specific exchange rate to the nearest cent 26 years ago? I can remember it pegged at 23.0THB in 1983 if that helps.

If your only home address is in Thailand the only option appears to be Wise rather than Revolut?

Oh yes I did that also. Proof of ID and proof of address in Thailand. For latter they DHLd me a letter to sign and return so DHL proved my address! I think PP had to be notarised by Thai lawyer. This all happened about 4-5 years ago as part of new KYC document requirements.

My KPlus app shows the MEA current bill at any time I use the app and I just pay it there. Simplicity itself.

I opened a new NatWest international account in the CI with no fees and no minimum balance last year from Thailand, but I did already have an account there that I closed down and moved the money from as they were about to introduce fees on that old account. The new account is called an Instant Saver account. Meets my needs. I think only rules to abide by are proof I am still alive. It does not offer auto bill payments, but comes with internet banking so I can send the GBP anywhere I like from here inc to Wise GBP account at no cost per transfer also. Good luck with the East Lancs bus pass.

IOM or CI is easier than Asia isn't it? I have an international GBP account in CI with no fees or minimum bal required.

Yeah a common problem here, the MIL bitcoin mining in the outhouse.

Racking my brains to understand why this is related?

Can you explain further please? You mean sending EUR to THB is cheaper fees than USD to THB using Wise? I have not tried that myself so reason for asking.
