Thanks. I guess that my point in my posting this is that something has changed. At least for me! After many dozens of transfers, which used to be almost instantaneous, they are now arriving the next day at 2.13pm, no matter when I send it!?! Maybe it's the "personal expenses" reason which is drawing extra scrutiny. It's no big deal. Am not living 'hand to mouth ' in my 2 storey, 4br, 3 bathroom house in a gated Moo Baan located in Pathum Thani. Just curious !

Thanks but my bank is in AUSTRALIA. "Westpac"

Thamks. Very helpful. Normally a day earlier and my pension hasn't aderived in my Oz bank!

I have recently (this week) used WISE to transfer AUD, which I first deposit into my Wise AUD account. In the past, over dozens of transfers. it took seconds to be in my THB, Bangkok Bank account. BUT, this week, without explanation,it is taking until 2..13pm (exactly each time) the next day to arrive!! WEIRD. Have always used "Personal Expenses " as the reason. So something has happened at the thai end, I'm assuming . No changes to accounts, banks or reasons whatsoever So, for me anyway, the 1 minute transfers seem to have stopped !

I was in the same.position as you UNTIL BBL mobile App suddenly would not work on my "old" phone operating system. It now requires android 10 or above. (Yes, can buy a new phone!) ** had been using this mobile number for about 15yrs, so known to many people and agencies (Immigration ,hospitals, airlines etc) So, in the interim , I decided to 'install' BBL Internet banking (iBanking) and use that..... The sim card /billing was all still in my wife's name. So very nice BBL staff pointed.out that due to the new law, the sim card (and same number) must be in my name (as per my bank acc) or no go with the mobile app OR ibanking ! I did ask,pointlessly, why I had not recieved any notification to this effect from the bank? Shrugged shoulders ! Luckily AIS shop is opposite this BBL Branch in Future Park. So over I go. After a long time they came up with a plan to clear any outstanding bill to that date, and pay them B100. BUT, then the new bill would not show my name until the next billing cycle! Finally it was agreed.that they (AIS)would issue the B100 receipt in my name and showing the original mobile sim card number. Back over to BBL (no new queue number or waiting) who were satisfied and corrected their records and set up the ibanking! All in all about 4hrs+ to complete. Be warned!!!

I'm the last clip, just before vertical impact the RH engine appears to be turning? Definitely not feathered ? Low altitude, no time to do anything really. Horizontal stabilizer "appears" to be in full, nose up position? Desperate final actions? A good accident investigation team will piece it together quickly, given the wreckage and photos/videos.

Wonder what height abve the water he was? Am guessinga few hundred feet? (100m?)

That's the case when everything (except the engine maybe) is functioning normally! DCH Twin Otters ars very robust and quite difficult to stall, but not impossible, especially if there are control problems and/or malfunction. The vertical dive into the water certainly appears ti be from an out of control spiral dive / stall. And WHY so many people on a "test" flight in an aircraft with reported "technical problems"?? #commercial pilot and,one time, aircraft owner.

I think that the Swede saying Ya Ya Ya over and over was mistaken for being "uncooperative " 😅

Thanks for that (google or Wikipedia I guess). Still a misnomer. Perhaps there should be a "Seismic and Natural Earthly Disasters" Department, dedicated and separated from the Met Dept. "Jack of all trades, master of none ?

What has the Meteorological Dept got to do with earthquakes? As if a meteorologist as any knowledge or training about earthquakes ! (Except feeling their effects like the rest of us) ....or perhaps access to early warning systems based on weather events. No wonder my Thai neighbors were all out in the street staring up into the sky!!?!

Agreed, but after 60 years (not counting childhood) I've enjoyed copious volumes af the amber fluid, but now the quacks have warned me off ANY alcohol on the fear of death (heart, liver etc, the usual suspects ). I'm just weighing up, at 75, is it worth the depravation for (possibly ) a couple more years alive ~ but not "living" !!

Thanks for that. Yes I do know that iHerb exists, but my post was about WHY Thailand severely restricts the local sale of Melatonin (it appears that, from other posters, even some online suppliers will not handle it to Thailand ) I think someone partially answered this by saying that its deemed a "party rape" drug!! Melatonin ??? Really ??

Yes, what is it with melatonin in Thailand ?? My local pharmacy can only sell "strips" of 10 tabs!! "That's all that we're allowed to sell in Thailand " says the lady..huh? Why ?? I go regularly to Hong Kong where I can buy (for example ) bottles of Jamieson brand Melatonin, 130 tabs, for about Thb400 equivalent. No problems, no restrictions, purchase 5 bottles if I wish!! So what's the problem here?

Google Translate. I've noticed more and more recently its use by car mechanics, computer and mobile phone people, aircon repair guys....even in pharmacies etc. EVERYONE (Thai) has a smart phone, either in their hand , or nearby. Yes, maybe some elderly Westerners or Asia folk are not so equipped or up to speed.
