i am on a tourist stamp and opened my account at BKK bank last week. Same problem, limit only 50k per day. I asked the bank to change it. Mai dai ka... i tried on the app on my phone and on my computer and same, "cannot" it says i have to contact the branch to change it. So i tried over the phone, cannot. Now we are 1 week later and i transfered 500k into my account. I tried again today to change the limit on my computer and this time it worked. All limits have been increased to 500K.

I guess if your account is empty or has a low balance you are not allowed to change the limit, even the bank. Dont know if that's the reason or if i was just lucky. I'd go with the first one.

The issue was not with you and I thank you for the information - it is with the bank taking advantage of their customers - have never appreciated these hard sell cards regardless of the bank.

Apologise for my quite harsh reply. I misunderstood your post. I guessed already they still had the basic VISA cards while in the bank but off course they didn't understood what i was talking about so i thought i just take it and get out. We cannot win every fight :)

That is a premium card.  (My best attempt to keep this a civil reply).  But at least you did get a Visa logo (even if you had to pay a lot extra).

premium or not its a visa card. that's the whole point off my post. Take it or leave it. Hope thats civil enough for you...

i went today to bangkok bank located in huai kwang, very friendly staff. I explained them the situation and they immediately changed it for a visa card without any problem. I did have to pay 690 for the first year and then 590 per year. It comes with accident coverage of 5000bht. They still had alot of visa cards available. Hope it helps!

No prison is big enough to house them all. That's why they don't do anything about it, aside from the financial aspect...

Vendor did nothing wrong.

She should have used bottled water in nothing else.

Whats your point? "Dummy"

100k is more than enough, you can pay the rest later

That picture made my day!

So since you all complained about the last puzzle

solve this one it is only for 7 year old

63-17+19 = 65

or different calculation ==> 17 to 19 = 2 = 63+2 = 65

What an idiot to intervene.

Hey, the man is a tourist and does not know about all the shit happening here. Kudos to him.

He is a diving instructor. I doubt he doesn't know whats going on in los...

Issan

Issan is a country ?

To some it is...

I choose America

Definitely screwed!

I made it...

One thing that is typical and not surprising is how people nearby were watching arms folded. I seen it before in Thailand. When someone is in distress and attacked its a case of "nothing to do with me"

And thats true of women and children attacked. Says something about the place!

Spot on!

I do not live with her she lives with the 2 children.The 9 year old attends the villiage school.

Her parents live next door but are not fully dependant on her.

I reconfirm, troll post...

My gf of 5 years with our 2 year old son and 9 year old daughter from a previous relationship says she is struggling to manage on 25k a month,no debt,house,motorbike all paid.

Issan villiage life.

Am I behind the times or is she squeezing me..

Isn't it getting really difficult to open a bank account with ATM & debit card without a work permit nowadays?

I opened mine on a Ed-visa. Atm and debit cards use the money available in your account, no risks for the bank. Got my card immediately

Always go to your home branch for stuff like that. If at all possible, close your account immediately with incompetents. I have four bank accounts here, never an ATM card. I think I've paid their ATM fee once in 18 years. I don't bank with US banks, that charge fees, either. Also, it seems like they eventually would have pulled your card out of the machine....seems like it would have been reasonable to put a staff member in charge of getting it back and calling you to pick it up. Why people bank at places with the worst rates is also puzzling.

Thats exactly what happened with me. I called the bank immediately, they asked me where the atm was located. The staff from SCB called me the next day to pick up my old card. Problem was solved with 1 phone call. Didn't need to have a new card.

I am perfectly happy with 20000bht a month. Without taking interest into account i guess i can live around 12 years with that amount.

that it would help solve problems, such as the difficulty in tracking down foreigners who commit crimes.

However, he insisted providing the information was not mandatory.

I am planning to commit a crime soon, where can i get this form?

If he reads this I hope he wakes up, quits his job and leaves the country.

Yeah so he can rape again somewhere else. As long as he is out of Thailand its ok.

How about putting him in jail?

Walking around Pattaya yesterday a land whale grabbed my private area, the girl I was with actually laughed. This topless girl gets fondled in a night club and the man is arrested. Double standards?

Double standards? No way, everybody gets treated equally in Thailand...

The BIB didn't explain why an arrest couldn't be made earlier.

Would ' it'a holiday period ' cover it ?

They give him time to go to atm...

Great idea... dont forget to turn it off when you take a bribe...

Wife and I are thinking about making a trip to Bali for about a week. Not sure when but maybe June/July. Any general suggestions/recommendations? I'll think of more specific questions as plans develop.

Went to bali 7 years ago. One advice i could give you is to change your money in the official exchange shops only. You will find many fake small exchange shops who promise you a better rate. Some looks more legit then others. Its a famous scam in bali. The police is with them as they get their cut so dont hope to get help from them. If you do change your money with them, make sure you are the last who count the money and in front of them.
