  1. It will work for now, but don't count on it working in the future, as the method to access online banking from another computer looks like you're being scammed, it's in the bank's interest to guard against that
  2. It will work for now, some people are already doing this the website can look what other program is running on the same computer, there are call centre scam that people were called and ask to install remote access software such as teamviewer and the scammer in india will access your bank account on your computer, for banks that guard against this could ask you to install protection software that will looks for this or use the bank's own app that will detect if it's being run on computer that has remote access If banks are proactive in protecting their user they could disallow remote access while using the online banking, some already do when using their app
  3. it's not a bribe, the agent told me myself and they seem very honest as they take my money /s
  4. the annual book fair would beg to differ, with attendance from all over the nation with kids from out of town willingly travelling to Bangkok to buy the latest books, the breath and variety of book on offer if heartening but it is true that literacy and reading for pleasure are the preserve of the few, rather than many, pocket books costing half a day of minimum wage is not tenable, plus the local bookstore, even chain store ones are a dying breed
  5. There were a shortage of lea&perrins last year but it seems to have come back, only Branston pickle or piccalilli would be the difficult to find in all branches of the typical supermarket
  6. Repellent gel comes in caulk like bottle, I've also had success with cat shaped figure to hawk shape figure you get form 60 baht store,
  7. Depends on what other document you have, 13 digit Thai ID? Mother or Father's ID?
  8. The 300 scooters are good grocery getter, the underseat storage is really vast Honda ADV750 rides better with proper motorcycle running gear but still an automatic, but it loses out on the storage, plus even used ones are around 250grand still For those that say they can't get their leg over the tank in something like NC750, the scooters are still quite wide and those who are inseam challenged will also struggle at the lights to put their foot down
  9. The Forza has electrically adjustable windscreen but should also come with electric folding wing mirror, it's sorely needed when filtering through Bangkok traffic, some Thai garages do have conversion kit made though, most Thais seem to just fold them permanently and attach small mirror instead.
  10. sometimes they're on sale buy 2 get 1 free in Foodland in Bangkok there are now better 'artisanal' ice creameries like Guss Damn Good that you don't need to buy a whole pint off, just an occasional scoop is probably enough How's the new pink ice cream shop down Jomtien beach road? is it a tourist trap?
  11. Apart from Nichada There are no such continuous area of middle class moobaans, but there are areas where's there's concentration of them like some suburbs of Bangkok like SriNakkarin road and Bangna road where there are multiple gated communities and international school and private university in the area, but of course there'll be poor people housing between the gated community There are integrated area with their own school or universities in the past like Muang Ake in Rangsit with their own university or Muang Thong Thani but most of these have failed and are open to the public and they just let any rift raft in, no gate and can be quite run down in places
  12. there are facebook group for rare blood groups with regular donor https://th-th.facebook.com/THBloodDonors/ (in Thai)
  13. If you're signed in to teamviewer, you don't need to keep track of the ID, the computer should show up when you log in and you can connect right away. good banking app should detect that remote access as it looks exactly like a scammer compromising your system and impersonating you, hopefully accessing the Bank's website just through the browser should be okay
  14. if you have one on your person at the airport you can get in trouble, some airports cops are really out to get you, I've flown to Chiang Mai many time no problem, but at Hat Yai, once they saw it in the X-Ray they were on to me, but I had managed to bin it before I leave through the gates. If you're not street smart enough to recognize what kind of <deleted> you're in, don't take them near a police or where you'll be searched. I think I got caught out since Hat Yai is close to the Malaysian border and a known source where to get anything from duty free booze and cigarette to vapes, they were kinda on the look out for it
  15. if it's two signature either both present or either is sufficient, it would be printed/written on the bank book along within the system, plus under UV light, the other signature would show It the text has been there all along that both signature is required, your regular branch has been lax and letting you withdraw
  16. if you go on the Monday after, and they told you you should have came the Friday before... what're you gonna do? If you go on the Friday, and they say to come back on Monday, it's only time wasted
  17. shows their priorities when the all of the lost sailors aren't even recovered yet but the Navi happily has an estimate of how much money will be required for the salvage
  18. Thai are selling courses on how to list things to sell online for both Ebay and Amazon, if you already has a working knowledge and an account, all the better Etsy payments can be complicated for Thais due to paypal policy
  19. the compulsory insurance barely covers anything 30,000 baht maximum first class insurance for small bikes is rare For peace of mind, a personal accident is cheap
  20. The points of these special editions with tricked out bits and farkles out the showroom isnt't that you can get the bits you prefer or they're better value as a whole package, but that the whole thing can be financed in one deal. The average boy racer isn't gonna be able to afford to pay cash 30-60,000 baht for Ohlins or Nitron shocks and full exhaust system if they're doing 10-15% down payment of 15,000-20,000 baht only, the repayment jump from 5000 to about 6000 baht a month for the Nitron sounds almost affordable If you're paying cash, I don't see the Nitron performing twice better than the Ohlins or 4-6 times better than YSS on bikes like the Forza
  21. I'd hold of on the submarine joke, the all aboard safe is premature, latest report is that about 20-30 sailors are still in the water
  22. so if I go down soi 9, there will be a catalogue of these 'ladies' with their picture and contact details?
  23. If she reports this to the police, the bank can trace where the money was transferred to, and freeze the receiving account, usually the account belong to another poor soul who sold their account to the scammer, by the time anything is done the scammer would have moved the money out
