...useles and make up answers on the spot and demand that owners/residents accept these answers without question. Been there done that, we had a new office manager start work, She instantly put up signs in the 2 lifts: -Owners can come to the office counter to ask questions once a month however must first submit in writing a request for a queue number, date/time to come to ask their questions'. ... and about 10 more items. Came to a head quickly when a sudden water leak was damaging the ceiling in the condo just below. Condo owner suffering damage went quickly to office but is confronted with the new managers 'rule' just above. Owner suffering damage quickly contacted the official 'juristic person' for our condo (Thai lawyer who was a snr. mngr at a famous international management consulting company in Bkk., engages quickly, pleasant guy, perfect English, always takes action promptly). Juristic person calls all committee members and person suffering watr damage and the person suffering damage and asked them to meet him at the office counter 1 hr hence. 90% of committe members turned up, juristic person asks new manager who authorised her to create these new rules? Her response 'Me, I own the building so I make the rules. She also claimed that by Thai law her position (Admin. Mngr.) gave her the authority to claim she owned the building. She also said 'did you get a queue no. and date/time for this meeting with me? Within less than an hour the committee members present voted and she was dismissed on the spot. Maintenance man then quickly despatched to the water leak and 10 minutes later all fixed. Owner above agreed to recify all water damage and all completed within a few days. Committee then had a special meeting to make some real 'rules' about the authorities of the Admin. Mngr. person. Including; 'Admin' Mngr' must get written permission of Juristic Person and one committee member before taking any action / putting up any notice.'

And let get it right, he actually meant 'create by whatever means necesary a change to the voting numbers for trump at a specific polling point by adding 11,780 trump votes. Total conman again and again for 7 decades.

When I called K Bank call centre ysterday I mentioned that I was planning to use the K Biz internet banking (PC/notebook based) facility to do an international funds transfer to the UK in August or September, about 68,000Baht. And I asked if this would need some further security action (further to the online security factors already in place). Response from call center lady was 'NO, not for foreigners, just use the online system as it's currently set up. But over 150,000Baht will need some further online questions, triggered by instering 150,000Baht into the online screen'.

and there's many posts in this thread saying members have contacted their Thai banks who said clearly 'only applies to Thai customers'.

Told the exact same today by K Bank call center.

At the big K Bank branch at Big C Chiang Mai recently, the supervisor was hovering, she noticed my pink ID card an immediately offered (good English) to enter the pink ID number and cancel passport number. I mentioned 'this K bank a/c not opened at this branch'. Her instant reply 'not imortant at all, and K Bank is moving away from a/c's being linked to branches'.

I called K Bank call center today. Currently does not apply at all to foreigners for domestic or international funds transfers, regardless of amount and regardless of location in Thailand. Not yet certain but perhaps 8 to 10 months into the future might be introduced for foreigners. If it happens same 'rules' as Thai customers. Call center lady shared that total numbers and scope etc., of banking scams (Thailand and globally) is enormous and growing. Don't be surprised at some new multi factor 'security' systems being introduced .

Yes, but the situation changes daily. Sad.

And you may well find that the on the spot staff don't have any knowledge of 'can/cannot' order. And they don't ask their supervisor because they are lower ranking therefore to ask a question to the high ranking supervisor would be very rude and unacceptable.

As normal of course 'brake failure'.

Yes, know the real solid truth about how the FBI / whatever agency went soft on Biden the president. Any links to solid reports?

Well said. My Thai son and his wife have regular visits from an old uni colleague. She's as dumb as a brick. Des stupid things, says stupid things. About 2 years back she walked out of Central Fesival with 3 pairs expensive jeans without paying. Confronted she said "But I want to see what they look like on me in the daylight." She called my DIL daughter in law who went quickly to the store. DIL explained her 'uni friend' was basically stupid. Uni friend confirmed this by saying 'Everybody does this, it's normal and the shop says you can do it.' The dumb beauty told the store and the cops 'my uni senior (my DIL) said it's ok so you have to listen to her rule'. DIL then disowned her and walked out. Luckily she's never returned and doesn't call.

If you take the job say for 2 years (?) will it add something quite valuable to your CV? E.g. rare operational skills, leadership skills / behaviors, management skills (organizational / planning / performance monitoring skills)? And more... ?

"... much cheaper too" The 'cheaper too' is relevant to: - Costs/fees to set up the company. - Annual accountng cost and annual auditing fees. - Annual costs of submitting yearly report to the Thai companies office. Good luck.

So just ignore the severe ruthless death and violence committed every day against many women and children.

A positive approach would be more appropriate. Neighboring counries should put a lot of pressure on Myanmar, lead by Thailand. Seems to me for Khun Pita this would bring strong gains; push Myanmar to understand it must change, and to educate many Thai folks what a balanced civil society looks like and behaves like.

In other words they don't have good examples to follow.

And he's not frightened to try to make gains on many issues. He's got a well educated, balanced and intelligent team and from his earlier comments will be expecting them to tackle issues and give good performance. Good luck khun Pita.

e.g. Vietnam. Kids eager to learn, respond well in the classroom, not frightened to ask questions, always polite.

Appreciate recommendation for repair shop etc., for LG micro wave oven in CM. Oven is about 4 to 5 years old, outside of warranty. Been in situ since purchase, never moved around. This morning suddenly lots of smoke came out of the back of the appliance. Pulled the plug out quickly. An hour later plugged in, totally dead. Prefer to take it to a repair shop, not have a repair man come to house. Any suggestions much appreciated. Thanks.

And hopefully both the prosecution and the judge will demand he prove every one of his 'facts' which will of coursebe impossible because he only tells lies. Jail for the rest of his natural life, no chance of parole please.

Yes I am, I'm 78 years old, I use a wheeler walker to go everywhere.

Depends where you live / work?

Chalerms sons - serious thugs, been charged / convicted many times. One shot / killed a cop at point blank range, then he fled to Malaysia. Many years later a news report 'he wasn't ready to return to Thailand because the media were still very negative about him and he was't being shown enough respect'. At least 2 of the sons have held high level positions as cops / miitary officers.
