I didn't give any dietary advise, I simply informed folks on this thread what my eating regime is. By way, whenever you read on this forum about posters who indulge heavily in alcohol, which is a very frequent occurrence, do suggest to them that they should 'listen to the science' and change their habits?

No you are not finished yet, but neither do you have go looking for an office to report to. You've done you bit now, the approval with your next reporting date will arrive in a day or 2. No problem.

Try reading the full article before making comments like this. And what do you know about the man's IQ anyway? 'According to one of the living attendees, Ms. Laphatsarada Rakhangtong, after the ghosts finished eating the food was given to members of the local community in need. Social media was used to advertise the event and invite those in need to eat whatever the ghosts did not finish'.

I suspect non of them. The only 'spirit' that those kind of 'contributors' are interested in comes out of bottle. (and I'm not referring to a genie)

Yes you are quite correct. Those who had read the full article would have come across '--tables and set up a massive dinner for ghosts at a Chinese cemetery at the Trikhun Dharma Foundation', But, as usual those Neanderthals' who cannot resist the opportunity to have a sly dig at everything Thai crawl out of the woodwork, even when it's not a Thai function at all.

I think you're waffle-ing.

It could be interpreted that way, but it's not its normal use and you know it.

Have you ever given any thought as to the reason why we call the first meal of the day breakfast?

My 'excuse' is that I feel just fine on my TRF routine and have been doing so for the last 2 years at least. That's enough 'evidence' for me thank you.

It would be impertinent of me to ask you for any details the 'dozens of people' you know who have been robbed using phone apps, although I do find this claim somewhat incredulous. But I would ask you provide some sort of evidence regarding your comment that: 'Even the EU banks are now realizing how bad Phone security is'. I've never come across evidence support of that.

If you want to make a point do please find someone a little less boring.

Yes I do believe that we tend to eat out of habit. 'Breakfast, dinner and tea' was the old forces' maxim. In my day, and I believe it is still true, breakfast was compulsory. When I came to live here I began to gain weight, which disturbed me as it had never been a problem with me before then. After some research and observation I've now concluded that eating heavy meals in the evening was not conducive to good health. I now practice intermittent fasting. I still eat 3 meals per day but do not eat at all after 6pm and for at least 12 hours, often longer than that. With a corresponding increase in exercise I've now lost 20kg and I'm feeling much fitter and healthier,

Yes teacher, sorry teacher. I promise never to leave a single letter out of my posts ever again. At least not tody.

Here's an interesting factoid for you: 'KASIKORNBANK (KBank) revealed that the number of Thais using mobile banking is the world’s highest, accounting for 68.1 percent of internet users nationwide per month'. So don't be surprised if the bank you choose to do business with will be the next to close their website based on line banking service. This could be a growing trend. I already have an account with a bank here that has never had on line banking. I don't find it in the least bit inconvenient. https://www.thestorythailand.com/en/11/02/2021/13722/

'Narit assumed his friend had passed out from drunkenness, as was common for him'. What more can one say? Or indeed needs to be said.

I am also in my late 70s. However I cannot envisage any situation were I would need to carry out such a transfer. However, if it helps what I do if I want to move photos from my phone to my computer is simply plug my phone into the computer with a USB cable and copy the contents of the picture file. Job done.

This option might not be of much use to you, but to someone running a business, a small shop for instance, they can come in very handy for doing one accounts at the end of the business day.

I've no idea any more than you have. The transaction slips do not contain any data that can be useful to a miscreant, providing you have set the app to hide the account numbers and you are free to delete them anyway. I sweep mine out weekly. I do agree that UK banks are somewhat harder to access than Thai due to 2FA. But in Thailand you cannot make a transaction without entering an OTP or similar. So 2FA is there, it's just a different approach.

'Whether you choose mobile banking or online banking, you can be confident that your bank has invested in the security of these services. However, mobile banking is a little safer when it comes to security, mainly because this type of banking does not store any data'. Is mobile banking safe This is just one of many references one will find on the internet if one cares to look. (I can't do your searching for you) If someone is careless enough to not put a security PIN on their phone, put the banking app's passcode somewhere on their phone (as a reminder) and then loose the phone, yes they might just find that their bank account has been raided. It's human error that usually causes these problems, not shortcomings in the banking apps.

What is the use of a guess if you don't know @Foxx? UK state pension payments are handled by Citicorp and are indeed paid out locally via Bahtnet. I agree with others above, you've most likely missed a 'proof of life certificate' O/P. Once you've made contact with the IPC they'll usually send you a duplicate via email. It'll soon be sorted.

Mobile banking is widely recognized within the banking world as the most secure method of accessing ones accounts. A banking app does not need to scrutinize your contacts nor does it need to know your location. Ergo such facilities would not be build in to the software no App would pass the stringent security checks if it did. Furthermore, any app on your phone has to seek your permission before accessing any such data. You said in your post: 'Privacy is a big concern these days'. Rest assured, the banks are very well aware of that too. You have nothing to fear from Mobile Banking apps. I've using 3 for many years now. (4 if you include Wise) and I've never had a problem.

All right, all right, no need to shout. You know it upsets the mods. ????

Sorry, you're right I missed a nought. 2,000,000 to Bangkok Bank and to Kasikorn Bank No problem then providing the O/P uses one of these 2 banks or SCB which will allow 1.5 mil Silly me, always check first, saves a lot of embarrassment later. P. S. On the other hand, if the O/P doesn't use either of these 3 banks, my advise still holds dun'it. ????

With the exception of these 3 banks, Bangkok Bank, Kasikorn and SCB, you cannot transfer more than 50,000 THB per transaction via Wise and even then you are limited to 200,000 THB per day. I don't usually recommend any method other than Wise for moving money, but in your case you might find a SWIFT transfer more convenient. I've never done it myself but I believe you can do a SWIFT transaction via Wise. You might find the following web site useful. https://wise.com/help/articles/2553074/paying-by-swift
