  1. My mistake I thought FD meant Foreign deposit, I wish members would not use just Initials Like DPA I don't know what that is Either.
  2. Sorry if off subject, but I thought those machines with a grab crane to win a fluffy toy were banned, I guess I must be wrong as my local Big C has just installed about 10 of them.
  3. The problem with FD accounts is the banks don't guarantee you even a million Baht last time I checked. just saying.
  4. The best bank I have found is Krungsri aka yellow bank, they give 0.9 interest pa tax paid, on the Mee Tae Dai account, but for that account you need a one year Visa/Extension, but IME have English speaking staff, unlike SCB or BKB. you also can use an ATM card for withdrawals, you can set up Direct debits with them as well, They do charge 50b for more than 2 withdrawals a month, You say use it to pay bills do you mean bills in Thailand or Overseas ? Edit ; you get a bank book, they have internet banking, and take 20min. Max to get your statement and letter for immigration purposes.
  5. I'm aware of that, at 11yrs old I taught myself to swim using a dining room chair, and diagrams given out by the school, that would have been 1961. Swimming lessons should be part of the curriculum, especially communities near a river. But all they seem to do here is teach football/volleyball. Floatation devises could also be made from recycled plastic and foam. It 'aint rocket science.
  6. I mean condolences and all that, but pursuing in such a dangerous way and putting your colleagues in danger too. Do they not have radios that they could have radioed ahead.
  7. Unbelievable to me that a 15yr old boy can not swim. RIP.
  8. So where was this idiotic 'driver', was he in the cab, or what ? its almost automatic for me to apply the handbrake when I stop, even at lights and select neutral. Condolences to mother and family RIP young babe.
  9. This practice is medieval, I will never understand why so much money is spent for these weddings, that sort of money would be better spent on a house.
  10. Why would you stop and film him, I'd walk briskly away averting my eyes immediately. Bob can't help it poor soul.
  11. I pay 524.30 baht unlimited for fiber. I pay by direct debit.
  12. It might surprise you but Some of us have already seen the world, I'm done with traveling, I haven't left for20yrs and have no intension of doing so.
  13. Good point, there was a UK, TV/YouTube program/series about people on the dole who were complaining about 'people stealing jobs I forget the title now, but, they were saying they couldn't get a job, but newly arrived could, the point was they would not take jobs they considered to 'low' for them, min. wage etc. so they took them and got them jobs, like serving coffee, flipping burgers, shelf stacking.....they ended up with full time jobs. But yes anybody can buy land or property in UK, just pay the cash and it's yours, which does put the price of property up. Thaksin is just one of them.
  14. Diddler on the Run......................
  15. Personally I too and fed up with AN and might join Bob in leaving, I know I won't be missed, so look out for another troll.
  16. Still waiting to know what the OP did. Maybe Dole Blunger.
  17. A lot of detail missing, on how he was supporting himself
  18. Bob has been spotted in Benidorm
  19. His wife's name is Fanny.
  20. I don't think they do in Thailand anymore.
  21. Look at mine I have attached a hose, but initially that was to take the water away from the concrete as weeds and ivy would grow into the outside unit, one time a slimy dead Jinn jock came out Yuk.
  22. Shame you didn't put that before, could have saved my effort. I would go back to Global and Complain, it is not normal.
