I've just finished season 1 of The Red King and I enjoyed it. Worth a look IMHO. It was mentioned earlier in this thread by @BritManToo. It's on TGx.

FYI for UK expats:

 

The Thailand-UK Double Taxation Convention can be viewed at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/thailand-tax-treaties.  Furthermore, in view of Mike mentioning that a number of double taxation agreements are currently being reviewed, this web page allows you to be notified of any changes in the content by email.  The current information is effective in Thailand from 1st January 1981 and was published on the .gov.uk website on 2nd January 2014.

I already use this .gov.uk email notification service for another UK legislation topic and find it reliable.

Thanks for the info @IsaanT. Very useful service.

The K+ app has not notified me of the alleged "new feature", just checked now.  There is no reference to BBL on the K+ cardless withdrawal section, either.

Are you on the latest version of the K-Plus app? It was updated on April 25. Version 5.18.3

Misunderstanding.

My post has nothing to do with collecting money from an ATM. It's about the K-Bank app.

I had those problems when I was at home when I wanted to use the app.

Outside I also almost never use WIFI.

AAAAH OK. The app works 100% for me over wifi when not using ATMs etc.

If I am using an American debit card at a Thai ATM, is there any way to use the cardless feature?  I have had a big problem in the past with ATM machines grabbing my debit card. It takes at least a month to get a replacement from my credit union, so this causes an emergency situation.

I wouldn't have thought so.

But obviously that only works if the app works.

Recently I had a couple of times the message that the k-Bank app can't be used because the bank is busy (message similar to that).

After trying maybe 10 times without success I called their support.

 

Their answer was that I should switch off WIFI from my phone and use the mobile phone data. I tried. And it worked.

Later I switched WIFI on again and then I tried the app again, and it didn't work again. WIFI off, and it worked. Annoying! 

Never had that problem as my phone doesn't connect to any wifi in the vicinity of an ATM, so no need to switch wifi off as it defaults to mobile data.

Just out of interest, how did you find about about the feature being available?

There is no fee. I do it frequently as no K-bank machine near me.

Using Cardless withdrawal?

Mike - the following link contains an overview map which some might find useful in identifying the locations of their local revenue regional and area offices (I certainly found it useful in identifying mine):

Despite it being solely in Thai, might still be worthwhile quoting it in your guide (around paras 72 & 73), perhaps?

 

Thanks for this info @OJAS

The Red King, entire season just out.

Remake of The Wicker Man with a female police sergeant of Indian descent in the lead role.

Not to mention the lady of the manor is black and the retired policeman has a mail order Thai bride.

 

Surprisingly good with a bit of tongue in cheek wokeness, decent acting, and well written.

Beautiful scenery and photography.

Well worth a watch.

Thanks @BritManToo. I'll have a look at that.

Stumbled across this movie last night named "Dusk for a Hitman"

 

https://www.imdb.com/video/vi1303168537/?playlistId=tt10819348&ref_=tt_ov_vi

 

A film about a hitman from the Montreal underworld. The soundtrack is in Canadian French but there are English subtitles. Found it quite a good crime drama.

 

 

Thanks for the heads up @freeworld. I'll have a look at that.
