How much do you pay for health insurance?
Jumbo1968 replied to rudi49jr's topic in Insurance in Thailand
Zero as no company will insure me because I am on 20mg statins even though I have no coronary disease history, my cholesterol was 6 now 4.5 after taking the statins. -
Just another day crossing the road...
Jumbo1968 replied to brewsterbudgen's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
If you asked mist people what the red and white crossings mean they couldn’t tell you, it’s safer to cross at other places, I avoid them. Even the ones controlled by lights get ignored by drivers. -
I don’t disagree with what you say but after being with the bank since 1992 I have been more than profitable to them over years with loans, mortgages etc, I thought it was time to show a bit of loyalty back to me for all the years I have been with and never defaulted on any debts. I still have a substantial amount in the bank around 25 times more than I wanted my CC limit increased by. I am now in the process of keeping the minimal amount in my accounts so they can’t profit from me.

Can you suggest a U.K. Bank where a 72 year old on State Pension can open a bank account and receive a Credit Card ?

Try getting a new bank account in the U.K. and a CC card when you don’t have an income, I am aged 73 years old and on the State Pension, I recently applied for an increase £3000 on my CC, limit, it was declined, they wouldn’t tell me why even although I had been with them for over 25 years and never run debts up.

I did use my CC years ago through lack of knowledge for foreign currency transactions but have now found other options, I always pay in sterling, I would never ever use it to withdraw money from an ATM at home or abroad. My U.K. bank has no foreign currency charges if I use my debit card abroad albeit the ATM here does. I was recently staying in hotel in Scotland, no cash but card transactions only, I could have challenged them but I felt comfortable enough to pay by card.

My U.K. bank charges a foreign currency transaction fee of 2.99% plus a reduced exchange rate for using a credit card outwith the U.K.
-
It was common practice in the U.K. for retailers to charge extra when using a credit card, they said it was a charge from the bank. One of the benefits of being in the EU who outlawed the charge.

Facial Recognition to Replace Boarding Passes at Six Thai Airports
Jumbo1968 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
On a recent trip to the U.K. with KLM from BKK it was self check in including hold baggage, you scanned your passport the machine printed out your boarding passes and luggage labels. You attached them to your hold baggage and put the baggage on the conveyor. It this facial recognition system is a success you could pass through the airport with out any human contact -
I visit the Big C Mall regularly and the toilets are kept as clean as they can be,the cleaners are always in them cleaning. You are obsessed about the food, I remember your rant slagging off the type of people who used it, it’s always busy, foreigners and Thais so it can’t be that bad. Not everyone can afford steak dinners, stop being so judgmental and if you don’t like what you see don’t visit the place and go back home to whatever country you come from and see what’s that like.

I thought she was under arrest in Thailand and jumped bail, doesn’t the U.K. have an extradition agreement with Thailand, why wasn’t she arrested on her arrival in the U.K. ? -
