Per week yes, per month no thanks

More "quality" tourists 🤣

All my Malbecs seem to be the same prices as before. 😭

And you took a picture of his license plate on the phone you did not have with you?? 🤔

"the city’s image as a family-friendly destination". 🤣🤣🤣

"The accident occurred at approximately 03:00" 🤔

Those coppers were sxxt 🤣

"Why do people even drink alcohol?" I drink therefore I am! 🍻

Not an option as my wife is not Thai 🍻

I asked the bank about using my 800k as security and they said no 🍻

Hi Guys Any pointers on best way to get a credit card. Been retired in Thailand 6 years, out of home country for over 11 years so I guess no credit rating. Talked to my bank (SCB) and they wanted me to open a fixed account and they would give a credit card for half the value of the deposit 🤣 despite already having my 800k in one account and a "current" account that has seen a very healthy flow of money through it over the last six years. Don't need the card for extended credit, just for when a credit card is really useful. 🍻

Hi Guys I stuck with Perfect TV after they took over from Pulse but have had enough of their hit and miss service and buffering issues and want to change supplier on renewal next month. Am based on Phuket with 3BB internet (arranged by landlord) if that matters. Looking for best alternative for UK TV channels, Rugby, Sky Atlantic etc. Any guidance would be much appreciated. 🍻

Hi Guys Sorry if the question is dumb! Been here 5 years on O-A based on retirement with wife as dependent. Get annual multi re-entry when we get our annual renewal. Returned to Thailand after short trip on 24th June. Got auto email from Immigration last week advising wife needs to do 90 day on 6th Aug (90 days after last report) but nothing for me. Went to Phuket Immigration today and assistant says to ignore email and go with 90 days from 24th June. That was my gut feel but wanted to check if anyone has any wise words of guidance. Much appreciated 🍻

One look at the stupid facial recognition farce at Krungsri bank will tell you everything you need to know about the state of financial management in Thailand

I spoke to them and they said the issue was something to do with flooding and their engineers were "working on it" but that was 2 days ago. Managed to unfreeze my account on the mobile app this morning but had to use a second mobile number in the unfreeze process. Luckily I could use my wife's but they really don't think about how many problems this sort of process will cause people. Good luck

That must be one special bike to take on all that hassle and risk!!

How did someone so thick become a millionaire in the first place??

Hi, let me get in touch with them and get back to you 🍻

Not sure where you are based but here on Phuket I would look to a charity like "Phuket Has Ben Good To Us Foundation". They do amazing work for orphaned and under-priviledged children. I have done some work with them so have seen first hand how the charity is run and the amazing people involved who do so much with so little funding

Things do seem to be better after the weekend but still far from "Perfect" 🍻

Why are we here? Because we're here Roll the bones Rush - 1991 🍻

I updated to version 1.2.1 yesterday and it seems to have fixed the issue on two units but still major problems with main TV unit. Following back from them after further bouts of complaints (told them how pissed off we all were and we were all looking for a new supplier). Following response: "Please stand by for an app update which will use a different delivery system, this will be running by the end of the weekend and will make things much smoother for Thailand based users. There will also be many new great features added in this update". I am missing Great British Menu because of this 🍻

Hey Guys Finally got a decent response from their support team and it turns out the version we downloaded on instruction from Pulse is not the latest version. Following is the message in full: "The latest version is 1.2.1 If you are not on that then click the option that says 'Check for updates'. After a few seconds It should then show a message at the bottom of the screen saying there is an update available and it will install shortly. Then it will open a page that asks you if you want to update the app, You click yes, Or Install if that is the option. The new version should then install. Some boxes have a security feature switched on that doesn't allow the update. If that is the case for you then on that security message that pops up. You will be able to click settings. Which will take you to the security setting that allows you to move a slider next to 'Perfect' that allows the app to then install updates. Now if you go back to the perfect app settings and click that 'Check for updates' button it will this time install the update for you". Will give it a go and see if it makes any difference - good luck!! 🍻

Had hoped that things would improve but it is getting worse! Impossible to play anything on catch up and live TV just buffering all the time. Any suggestions for an alternative provider please? 🍻
