  1. I wanted their metal card but fortunately my application was rejected after I posted a negative review about their dodgy compliance and coin staking reqs and regs on a crypto forum. They probably thought they had the last laugh when they blocked me ???? Acting all royal-ish and legit but I knew all along that their staking scam was just that: an elaborate and sophisticated scam. For want of a card, you're forced to acquire CRO tokens and stake them. Not just any other token with solid liquidity and reputation but it must be that one token they control. Pity the naive and gullible who fell for their ruse.

     

    A card overtly scammy. I already had my doubts during cryptocom's infancy. Back then they had grand plans, making the joining process look like an elite and illuminati-ish privilege for VIPs. If however you put their card limits under a microscope, there really is nothing spectacular or brag-worthy about the cards. It's just another non-head-turning prepaid card.

     

    Happy with my Wirex and Cryptopay cards. Used both for years sans any issues.

    Effective incapacitating weapon. And criminal timing it was. Take-off roll and climb to cruising altitude. Positively toxic tactic. In retrospect, crew were probably complicit. Seatbelt sign was on for what seemed like an eternity and so was the sloth-like climb before the plane leveled off.

  3. Disturbing and scary but voluntarily taking more pills suggests a bizarre twist which makes one stop, think and doubt. One would be forgiven to think that by voluntarily taking more pills he might have discovered a secret predilection for something he kept suppressed. A coming out, sort of, only for that short-lived experience to be crushed when he was let go and he now has to contend with the reality of the truth he kept repressed. So he was raped and his holy holes were violated and painfully penetrated but then the most natural thing to do was take a cab back to his hotel, check for new emails and posts on Facebook, then move on as if it never happened? I would expect traumatized and drugged victims to approach the police, the Danish embassy, medical intervention and maybe even Thai media.  

     

    Truly bizarre that he was simply let go by the abuser and he later returned to Denmark without the rape story hitting the headlines in Thailand. Sexual criminals tend to go through great lengths to thwart the discovery of their crimes with historical reports showing that victims were either permanently unaccounted for by law enforcement or found deceased.

     

    I suspect he liked it but later had guilt pangs.

    I have literally never used roaming on a sim card.  I have always bought a sim in the destination country.  I have AIS sim.  What charges are involved if I set it to roaming, and more specifically to receive OTP sms when outside of Thailand?

    Activating roaming mode is free. There is no "activation" fee.

     

    All about AIS roaming: https://www.ais.th/roaming/en/howto.html

    Charges: https://www.ais.th/roaming/en/roaming-rate.html

     

    SMS is reasonably priced and fees depend on country or region. Be sure "data roaming" on SIM settings is toggled OFF.

    But if you are outside of Thailand in another country, how would one receive an OTP?

     

    You must activate roaming on the Thai phone number linked to the card. 

     

    OTP via SMS is such an inconvenience as there is a risk of SMS delivery being delayed when on roaming mode. Fortunately my bank in Germany no longer requires it. Their recently improved app now supports in-app approval of transactions. When buying something online, the app detects it and prompts me to approve or reject it. Even ABA in Cambodia offers two options: OTP via SMS or OTP via e-mail. The two options are presented during the transaction.

  6. Just buy an iPhone at MBK with the model suffix LL (iPhone model for the US market). There are vendors offering them. I bought one last year in Phnom Penh. I'm sure you can find one at MBK or Pantip Plaza.  

     

    Or buy a Pixel phone. Check the model number on the box. Pixels sold in the US work perfectly on Asian bands. I know as a friend in the US bought one for me at the physical Google retail store.
