A friend of mine working for HSBC told me over dinner around a month ago that there was an incident when an employee of a company accessed the company's Hang Seng corporate account and sent (via Wise) around 900K HKD to an account controlled by an accomplice. The money was never recovered as the transfer was timed in such a way that the cut-off time for same-day crediting of funds was met. It was quickly withdrawn. So it makes sense that they are being very careful.

Is it possible to compare 900K HKD to 250GBP?????? Where is the relevance???????

Do you not think the Elite 'people' should be advising on this? What's your friend actually paying them for?

Exactly... I think he is PAYING for a service...

If you are out of range of the usual services talk to your local bike taxi chaps.

 

Ours will go to the market or 7 or wherever for a very nominal fee, Madam uses them all the time if she's forgotten something vital.

 

They will even go to your ATM if you give them your code. lol . 55555

Tesco has a delivery service too.  It must be in English as a mate of mine used it.  No booze though any more.

So does Big C, Makro, etc.....

You are in the wrong country if you still ask why something happens in Thailand.

It happens, there is no "why". Get used to that and life becomes so much easier. And please don't ask why. ????

...Thai Airways. 

 

I called their Sydney office a week back re their flight Sydney to Bkk (I refer to the return of the repat flight Sydney to Bkk TG475.

 

I asked if they are taking bookings for the return flight in December 2021, answer was 'yes'.

 

 

 

I asked for and got confirmation that the check-in luggage allowance is 30K. I asked if passenger can pay for extra KGs, answer 'No'.

 

I asked if changes to flight date are allowed. Answer 'No, of course not, TG have never allowed changes for the basic fare'.

 

I asked about refund if TG cancels the flight' answer 'No, this is not allowed under TG policy.

 

Seems that TG never learns anything.

Why would they, money keeps flowing in.....5555

That might be what he is saying today, but we all know that something very different is likely to be uttered within a day or so, and then again two days after that. Consistency in position is not something Thailand seems noted for.

Well yes, a lot of time and opposite decisions by July.. lol 555

It was inevitable and oh so predictable. 

 

There is no social distancing at all in Chonburi. Markets are crowded as normal with ridiculous amounts of people there. The market in Naklua was rammed with people last night and motorbikes lined up like sardines in a can.

 

I don't think the average Thai understands that going to these places is a health risk or maybe they don't care.

 

Oh well, we are about to witness a major crisis IMO. 

Correct, but since you know that it means you were there too...So, not only the average Thai doesn't understand. 5555555

Irrigation fittings are considerable larger in diameter, this is for inside a coffee machine.

 

 

Well, I don't need 4 spares, neither is the colour important to me,  and at 40 Baht a piece it is still a rip off.

 

Non return valves of that size, which I think would commend a higher price, go for 10 Baht on Lazada

Q? Can you make them yourself for 40Thb?????

I transfered 250£ from my HSBC business account in UK to my Wise account.

Money left HSBC instantly and arrived in seconds at Wise.

Got email from Wise they need more informations before they can release the funds.

Which company, where based, why I did send the money etc.

 

What a load of rubbish.

 

That's my company.

Do they think I am money laundering 250£?

 

 

 

 

 

They consider 250GBP as a test for them to see if they are watching you.. 555555 lol????????

i replaced 2 AC last year with new ones with inverters, as soon as started WFH, 30K investment already 50% paid back. Most of appliances in Thailand are more than 10 years old, poorly maintained and drain money out of your pocked faster than your Thai GF

I somehow have a doubt about the GF part. 5555555

Our overall consumption is roughly mirroring the same period last year.

 

Nothing new here and the same whinges every year, it's getting hot people, so your cooling kit will be working harder = more consumption = bigger bills.

 

Rocket science it is not, and they want to send a probe to the moon ... (which is rocket science).

They're on the way to Mars now.. But most people didn't complain about the discount they received for several months to compensate for the Covid crisis.. Or the deposit for the meter they paid and got back also due to the same crisis.  I never got any deposit refunded on these things in EU.
