No BBL transfer for Lazada now?
RocketDog replied to RocketDog's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
That's what I've done for years. But when the order is from several stores and low price stuff it becomes a nuisance. Its handy to have a bank option. -
No BBL transfer for Lazada now?
RocketDog replied to RocketDog's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
I'm considering True money now. Thanks -
I have paid for Lazada orders a couple of months ago using the bank transfer method. Five banks were listed including SCG, Krungsai, Bangkok Bank etc. Now BBL is not in the list. See pix 1&2. When it was there before, I paid 123 Service Co Ltd as a payee on the BBL site make the transfer from BBL to Lazada with a reference number that Lazada provided when the order was placed. It allowed only 24 hours to make a payment via the BBL account or the order was cancelled. See pix#3 & #4.All went smoothly.....the Of course I called Lazada and they said they would investigate and give me an answer by email. The person I talked to just took information and passed it along internally. Needless to say I'm not holding my breath for a solution. I did look up123 Service on the web and they listed BBL as a client to make transfers from. See attached pix 123 Service. To make it worse, I thought that I could just use Lazada Wallet to pay orders instead. I went to top it up, chose BBL as the bank (yes it was listed there!!), and then it started spinning and never stopped. So that is also a dead end, with the same promise from Lazada to 'research it and get back to me" answer. Many people on the forum say they use bank transfers to pay and COD is too much trouble. Now COD is my only choice it seems unless I go through the same mess with another bank. I have and SCB account but of course I can't do spit online with them anymore. I don't need any help per se except to see in anybody has had this problem. Thanks

I had Express for years and really liked it the rotating IP address schema they use didn't work for the private torrent book club I use. I tried Trust.Zone and that worked fine and is cheap , but since I have changed all my mail, cloud storage, calendar, password manager to ProtonMail I pay $11/month and the VPN is not only faster than Express, but much more secure and has a huge number of server sites around the world.

Man Severely Injured Using Hand-held Cutter in Sri Racha
RocketDog replied to Georgealbert's topic in Pattaya News
Correct for a circular saw but not intended for use on an angle grinder. He probably uses sunglasses when welding too. And cleans his nails with a knife. Stupidity is its own punishment. -
Trump's Cabinet of horrors exposes his totalitarian drift
RocketDog replied to simple1's topic in Political Soapbox
Color it any way you want but the totals were only different by a percent. Basically over 48% voted for Harris. That is simply a fact. The country is not as red as you see it thru Trump goggles. -
Appeal Launched for British Teacher Gravely Injured in Thailand Crash
RocketDog replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Agreed. I bought a new Honda Click after I got my first 1 year O visa several years ago. I rode it around Chaam for about 18 months observing other riders and cars around me. Then one day I looked at the pavement screaming by under my feet, reflected on the intrinsic instability of two- wheeled vehicles and their vulnerability to larger vehicles driven by heedless nationals, so I took it home and never got on it again. My Lady uses it for 2km backroad trips to fresh market only. Otherwise we travel in a big heavy Chevy Z71 Colorado model pickup surrounded by tons of steel over a foot off the ground with front/rear dash cams. Motorcycles are dangerous in any country but downright insane to possess here in the Kingdom. Better to wise up late than never. -
yeah that works too but the bum gun goes a lot further than 133ml.

Thailand goes all in on The Homosexual Movement

You raised the point did you not? -
Thailand goes all in on The Homosexual Movement
RocketDog replied to Yagoda's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
49% vote for your hero is not a rejection or a mandate. You know what they say about those obsessed with homosexuality? I wonder how tourists from Albania, Ethiopia, Tasmania, Eritrea and Easter Island see it. But then again, who really cares? -
I agree about tamarind. It really works and is gentle. The word you're looking for is warm water enema. Or get up close and personal with your bum gun AFTER turning the pressure way down.

Ah.........have you ever added yourself to the send to list and gotten the mail a few seconds later? Of course you can. I do it regularly if I want to remember I sent a mail without going to the sent folder to find it.

I am an avid Gardener and I know it's easy to say just fill it up and plant things in it. But keep in mind that it is actually a giant concrete Bowl and it rains a lot in Thailand. How do you intend to drain that bowl when it fills up with water and all the plants die because they can't get oxygen and are drowning? Besides that sand is hardly a good growth medium for any kind of plant except cactus. The cover seems like a good idea until it's been there for a couple of years and the sun has had its way and you fall right through it and hit the bottom. Truthfully the best solution I could think of would be to essentially build a deck over the whole thing, put a sump pump in the bottom, and some planter boxes strategically placed around it for ambiance. You talked about the potential problem when you go to sell the place and a deck would be the kind of thing that would appeal to half the buyers and the pool would appeal to the others so they could both choose which they wanted with relatively low cost. In any event it is truly a problem I have thought about with my pool and I wish you the best of luck.

I recently emptied my pool to regrout it which took two weeks or so. As I was working on it it occurred to me how dangerous it is to have an empty tiled concrete inground pool. Falling from even two meters onto a tiled floor can't be good for you. My thinking is that you can't really keep it empty anyway when it rains it's going to fill up. In any event if you're going to leave it empty there should be a cover over it or a fence around it.

Absolutely correct. What little new content appears these days, even trivial nonsense, is repeated for days. At this point I'm taking a breather from AN. Maybe I'll check in again in a few months. But listening to a bunch of wide-eyed sycophantic and willfully ignorant morons lauding the crowning of an authoritarian bully is not only depressing but boring. We've heard it all before after all. By my calculations about 15 million registered voters (161.420M in 2022) didn't vote, which would have made a difference. So they, by inaction, voted for a tyrant. All I can say as an American is that a hard rain is aggonna fall, drowning my beloved country and the world in a tsunami of lies, incompetence boardering on lunacy, and hardships for all. America got what it thinks it wanted but it certainly will not be what they imagined it to be. People voted for him because he promised them a golden economic era; all they will get is older and deeper in debt.

Free holidays for Brits ‘high-jacked’ into Thai drug courier scheme
RocketDog replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Paraguay did exactly as you said. Check it out. It is working for them. There have to be rules but as my post alluded to, who makes the rules makes all the difference. Anything related to rules/laws must address this fundamental question. And you are correct; I don't want you making the rules. -
Thailand's Expats Urged to Register with TRD for Tax, Says Expert
RocketDog replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
All true, but what can we do? Follow the rules or leave I guess? Obviously railing against the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune didn't help the old couple. How are you or I or any expat any different from them? Venting is OK but don't shoot yourself in the visa. -
Free holidays for Brits ‘high-jacked’ into Thai drug courier scheme
RocketDog replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
You're right that's exactly what I said when they legalized alcohol, tobbaco, sugar, and caffeine and now look where we are! What we need are more laws that restrict everything except what the government (or you Scouse) deem is healthy for us all. What I miss most about being an adult is not having anybody to tell me what to do everyday. Is this something you can help us with scouse? -
