  2. Contact Wise directly confirm all details and then contact your Australian bank directly. A few months ago Wise did change things around a bit but these changes actually made the process times faster, but they did not involve changing account numbers. Wise has international numbers you can also call them on, you can find the number within the app. If the Australian bank is saying fraud it probably is.

    As already mentioned this is a Thailand wide problem but probably bigger in Issan. I too have experienced the impact on extended family due to this drug and also alcohol in general, you could also throw gambling into the mix. To a degree at least in “my area” l believe poor education, lack of employment opportunities, peer group pressure and a limited understanding of personal accountability all contribute to the problem. However in fairness illegal drugs are a world wide problem, the main difference l see from Western Countries versus Thailand is the possible lack of support services. My wife and l refuse to financially help any family members who take drugs, drink or gamble, we are lucky such issues only impact extended family members.

  5. Excellent thank you very much.
  6. Thanks l will look them up
  7. Apologies the text was a cut and paste.
  8. Hi all, l am looking for somewhere to buy Western style sausages in Udon Thani, l know there are a few places around where you can buy sausages in vacuum sealed packs however l am hoping to find somewhere to buy a few kilograms at a time, instead of the 4-5 in a pack, any help would be much appreciated. Cheers.
  9. Yes but unfortunately the exchange rates are very poor
  10. A & B better not end up in that accommodation again, as l am sure things would be different for them both.
  11. My Wife, Daughter a myself are heading to Bangkok from Udon Thani during the next School holidays around mid September, we are looking for a good tour guide to take us around family friendly tourist locations. Does anyone have a recommendation for a good tour guide with a Van? Thanks in advance
