  1. and there's many posts in this thread saying members have contacted their Thai banks who said clearly 'only applies to Thai customers'.
  2. Told the exact same today by K Bank call center.
  3. 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'.
  4. 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 .
  5. scorecard replied to mirage's topic in General Topics
    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.
  6. Yes, know the real solid truth about how the FBI / whatever agency went soft on Biden the president. Any links to solid reports?
  7. 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... ?
  8. "... 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.
  9. So just ignore the severe ruthless death and violence committed every day against many women and children.
  10. 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.
  11. In other words they don't have good examples to follow.
  12. 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.
  13. e.g. Vietnam. Kids eager to learn, respond well in the classroom, not frightened to ask questions, always polite.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. Yes I am, I'm 78 years old, I use a wheeler walker to go everywhere.
  17. 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.
  18. i wonder if they will have 200,00baht worth of flowers for the rehearsals?
  19. And desperate for attention on a national level, not just family level.
  20. I take your points, what upsets me is the comments from the GOP trying to demand a stop to all welfare, a stop to education and health care support. Talk to some folks from the scandinavian countries who pay big taxes and many items are taken care of in regard to good quality of life, a civil society. I can assure you most will quickly confirm they have no objection. What of course needs to be in the picture is that the funds involved are spent very wisely and decisions where/how to spend are taken with good valid processes. I come from a limited socialist country, what I also love is that we take care of and suport the underprivileged who struggle to make good incomes and struggle to ensure their kids eat, and struggle to make good choices. We share resources with them and happy to do so. My own vieww is that ultimately most of the world will adopt some level of socialism, partly because the world cannot continue to accept the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer (plenty of valid data to support this) and more disadvantaged. My belief is that this will eventually cause some collapse of rampant capitalism which doesn't really give equal opportunity and is way out of balance in regard to a civil society.
  21. I've used very warm milk with 1 spoon of sugar or honey for years. Works well for me and no hangover whatever next morning. Well proven, milks naturally contain a substance called tryptofan which stops the baby calf from drinking too fast and choking - a natural sedative. Suggested years ago by my respected local doctor in the west.
  22. GOP attitude, welfare, suporting each other, limited attempts to share the wealth, ensure all citizens have good health care are a waste of money. Strange how countries / governments which have a limited socialist agenda are balanced, suppotive, and caring and are well supported by the populace. And the populace quite relaxed / not concerned that this is how a % of taxes are spent.
