Yeah, I don't really agree with your sentiments about cash is King and Banks. I prefer the better rates offered with Wise. Thanks

Actually, thanks for mentioning that. I had defaulted to Krungsri because that's the other account that I send to and because it was so quick I just assumed that was the one that was mentioned in the blurb when you send money but you're right, it's Kasikorn bank. I'm only looking for the short transfers trying to get in front of a problem I haven't had yet.

Currently I'm with Bangkok Bank and their transfer time over the last 6 months at least appears to have slowed down a bit. It's probably not a huge issue but I thought I'd open an account with Krungsri because transfers to them seem almost immediate most of the time. Happy to hear any opinions and recommendations as part of this. Pitfalls accounts or possibly other options that might be better suited. Thanks

On the live chat I have not been able to get an agent at all. It's just all AI responses. Pretty sure the five SIM cards you're talking about is a government restriction. But I've done research and I can't find anything that says you can't. But neither have I found anything that says you can.

As the title suggests. Are we able to get a second SIM card on our gomo account. Problem here is you need to have an ID card to apply for a gomo SIM. Just looking for a cheap solution for a SIM card for my Android head unit in my car so I'm not having a hotspot. Not interested in paying a couple hundred baht a month. Thanks

Anything to be aware of in purchasing in regards to genuine ownership issues or not being correctly registered etc. I'm probably not asking the question correctly cuz I don't really know what question is.

I need to get a car in the next week or so. Probably going to be a used car as it's going to be for various types of commuting to Isaan and local. Probably spend about 300 to 400,000 but that's just an early thought. Just hoping to get a rundown on things I should be conscious of when purchasing vehicles here? It will be purchased in a Thai name. Thanks in advance.

Is this a requirement for the 5-year renewal?

Also just to follow up. I lost my wallet a while ago and got a police report stating to the fact that I lost my licenses. I haven't bothered to replace them. I've got photocopies of them does anybody see that being an issue in obtaining the new licenses?

Just a couple of questions on the driving license current conditions. Applying for both car and motorbike do you still only need one original copy of your resident certificate and medical certificate? Any suggestions on the central Pattaya Med certificate would be useful also. Do you still need to make an appointment and approximately how long from the appointment time to the that you make the appointment is it if that's the case. Thanks in advance

Hoping to find someone with direct experience here. I sent some documents, tracked, to Australia on about the 24th of June and they seemed to be moving along quite normally but appear to have stopped in Hong Kong airport since the 28th of June. Nothing to suggest that the tracking number has changed or anything like that but it seems to be a long time to be held over for its next leg. Any previous experiences appreciated. Cheers.

Thanks, Sheryl. I did suspect as much. I guess young Thai girls are coughing up more cash than wrinkly old expats!

Just wondering if anybody knows of a doctor who has a dermatology clinic outside of the major hospitals that does skin cancer checking. Nothing specific, just an annual check. It seems to be fairly common for doctors to have private clinics outside of their regular day job at the hospital and have had good experiences at these in the past.

Police report was 100b. I've done police reports before but I can't recall when I paid.

Wow that seems super cheap. Is that the price in the DLT for Pattaya? Thanks
