Pattaya friend of mine messaged via FB last night....have copied and pasted Hi xxxx saw your post about the location of Aussie Bar on ThaiVisa. Walking down Soi7 its on the left opposite what was the Avatar Bar (now new Luxor I think). Its a standard small rectangular bar. Spent some time there last trip. Owner is a nice lady forget her name. It's the original Aussie Bar originally opposite Flipper House. He added that the Aussie Bar in the cut thro between Soi 7 and Soi 8 is also still there

Rubbish That piece of trailer trash Farage had his backside handed to him purely because Coutts were not going to sit back indefinately whilst he continued to run his mouth off The amount of bed wetters on Twitter scuttling for cover when the truth surfaced was beyond hilarious

Yep am pretty sure that get into arrivals open the app and it will normally !

Unfortunately not lol On the day I thought sod this for a game of soldiers they withdrew the service for desktops for new applications ! I had an apology via call centre email Someone subsequently then screenshotted the same I've just tried again using Thai Sim via roaming re the app and its just not working. I'll call it a day and wait till I get to Thailand I just wanted to double check all transfers had landed normally in the account... Am 99.9% they will have done but TIT lol

@VBF Annoyingly that hasnt worked again around 11.30am Thai time The message was slightly different from before in that it added try again later so will give it couple hours Right pain in the backside

I'm still waiting after 18 years to have newbie removed from my profile...........................................????

Yes no problem will keep you updated. Will re attempt Monday morning around 6am UK time

I havent read the entire thread but there is definately a welfare office at Heathrow for just this situation. It literally only popped up on Sky news few days ago over slightly different issue but the Police guy they were following for the report explained what the office can do. I was very surprised

excellent post

SCB really are difficult to deal with. In brief I managed to get my True Sim refitted into a new phone after cutting it. I had literally given up last week as per another thread but suddenly it decides its going to connect and we're away....activate balance check and all good.....send short code to advance validity for 6 months for 12 baht and it goes through normally...right result as it was literally the 11th July it was being terminated from service As it was the registered number for SCB I'm thinking geddon......I send a short code which activates roaming. (It may already have been activated from the past but nonetheless SMS comes through confirming it) SCB had already declined to tell me account balance via their call centre. The Debit card had been changed to a 6 digit code and need to go into a branch to update so no option to pop in into a UK ATM to see if it would display the balance anyway App is on new phone. As there are no other active apps pulling data I activate roaming no problem Open app filling in old Passport number DOB and confirm UK national App clearly finds me and offers up "send OTP to this number" (last 4 digits displayed) Click on yes and wait.....20 seconds later it come through. Thinking right result lol Enter the 6 digit code into App it updates and reverts to log in page identical to old app on other phone asking for the 6 digit code of which I use one of my kids DOB Thinking finally am there lol Nope....."we are unable to process your request at this time" ???? Now it was outside of Thai banking hours and I notice on several threads people have said wait until they are open normally ?? Hopefully it opens up normally Monday morning lol

Just to be clear re my above post as someones confused lol You walk into a bank with just the persons sort code and account number written down and say £500 and try and pay it in You simply cant....not any more even if you're married to them

Appreciate that is Thailand but you try adding hard cash to a 3rd party account in the UK lol You simply cant and if anyone doubts me go and try it Transfer online no problem Be sneaky and take that 3rd parties debit card into a bank and you "may" get away with it but hard cash NO lol Cracked right down on here even up the Post Office with my own debit card I have to provide other ID to show its me

Seriously fella and not for the first time pop off and troll elsewhere

Am down in the South West now. Nearest Branch was 800 metres away of Royal Bank of Scotland lol The nearest now is in Basingstoke lol 182 miles from me I only found out when last year went to take £10k out cash and just wanted to notify them in advance On the phone I'm getting Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh sorry sir the nearest one to you now is Basingstoke ???? They've got an agreement with Nat West as it turned out but RBS had to notify them in advance and I had to upload passport driving licence so Nat West could compare when I went in Not that long ago on a small shopping area close to me (about 400 metres) there were 6 banks or building society.....today there are none

I'm quite happy within the UK to use the Debit Card for virtually everything and cash is hardly ever encountered but I'm not using one routinely within Thailand for a whole myriad of reasons Edited in as regards cashless society......in the UK my nearest bank branch is now 182 miles away lol....I assure you am not joking

Fair play. I had to sign those forms for mother back in 2021. I was not particulary "close" to my mother it would be fair to say but the Dr explaining the process in her home with myself present (and fortunately another brother lol) was not a pleasant experience once the GP had left ! Most "difficult" day I ever had with mother and there were literally 100's down the decades

To the OP three simple words "Pound Cost Averaging" or in your case the Euro If you're happy with the current rate change the monies, If it further rises change more and "Euro Cost average" Its win win.....however do nothing whatsoever and the rate subsequently drops from the current level then its simply lose lose

very good idea indeed

Purely down to Sterling weakening slightly against the USD on opposite side of the pairings Dollar/Baht pretty static last 24 hours bouncing around 35.60

No amount of saving in an account will cover serious Trauma, Strokes or Heart attacks whereby you're in an Intensive Care Unit for a long period of time The question always remains as to just HOW you get that money out of the account in the first place. Remember you're in a coma....

Next time you cheat on your Thai wife remember that the loss of yer tallywhacker could well be terminal.............

Yes that was lesson to all reading if its not absolutely necessary wait until you're in Thailand to attempt any change just in case the proverbial hits the fan

Indeed lol Its particularly annoying as the loss of Sim access was down to me "refitting" to size for a different phone The Sim was fine previously as obviously was the access

Ahh ok thanks VBF

Joking aside why the hell am I still described as a "Newbie" on this forum I wont remotely be the longest active member (albeit probably an early member) but it will be 18 years this November ???? No jokes please gentleman ????
