I can confirm no fee with a succesful withdrawal from my BBL account at a Kasikorn ATM in the same province.

Yes, and takes you back one level at a time, not one page. No good if you want to go back to a previous page of this thread for example. Back button works just fine.

Please tell us more (not).

Breadcrumbs can only take you back one level. Back button is much more use and works fine.

My withdrawal failed with an error message as mentioned, but I see another stage is required now in the app that I hadn't noticed before so it may well have been down to me. The screen on the BBL app clearly says no fee up until that point. I'll try again in the next few days now that I think I know what I did wrong. The ATM and account are in the same province and I have done regular card withdrawals at that ATM before with no fee so I don't expect any.

OK. My experience is with a SIM router so probably not comparable.

The option to withdraw from a Kasikorn account at BBL ATMs has been there for at least a month and was briefly discussed here: https://aseannow.com/topic/1323429-dealing-with-forgetfulness/page/2/ I don't know when the option to withdraw from a BBL account at a Kasikorn ATM went live, but the couple of times I've tried it I've received an error message regarding the QR code being the wrong format or something similar. ETA: Could be user error as I've just worked out the extra step required on the app.

Yes, I was asking the OP to ascertain where he was seeing the speed issues.

Avoidance, not evasion, in the eyes of the big Thai accounting companies as reported previously on here. I think it may even have been you that provided links showing that gift allowances were a weapon in many of their armouries and have been for years.

Is this in a mobile phone or using a SIM router?

It was mentioned in post #4 that they were available there, and I recall a friend getting one there, but no idea of the fine details.

But if these were half litre cans the level would be 0.05% which is the limit in Thailand.

When the thread was first posted the article had a different picture.

Any reason you didn't go to City Hall on Nua?

CH is Switzerland, CN is China, but nevertheless China's alleged SOP of help and assistance only lasts until the recipient is in enough debt to them that they think they can set the rules. They're going to get their bottoms kicked soon in some places with that attitude.

This bit makes me think that even if gifts are to be taxed then it'll be at 5% irrespective of other income taking you up the bands. If so it'd still be a way to reduce one's income tax bill if paying any at a rate >5%.

Mine was somewhere between 200,000 and 250,000 baht IIRC.

It is. There was a dental thread just in the last day or two where someone linked to a Thai dental practice price list and I saw them itemised on there.

Or use the "Cardless ATM" feature in the app.

Once you read his drivel on this subject you may regret asking this.

Yes, I had it done in BPH over a year ago. They poke a hole in your eyeball and stick a laser in to zap the retina back into place. Mine had pulled a blood vessel with it so I needed a vitrectomy too, I don't know if that's always the case or just because I had the bleeding, but that entails putting a mini vacuum cleaner in the hole before the laser and sucking out the vitreous fluid. Vitreous fluid is replaced with a gas that takes a while to disperse so no flying for several weeks afterwards. Actual time depends on the gas used. Local anesthetic and I don't mind admitting I winced a few times with the laser.

It was mentioned here but reading the first few responses it seems to have been a false alarm. https://aseannow.com/t opic/1258853-is-it-true-no-more-cash-advancesover-counter-withdraw with-a-foreign-atm-debit-card/

Where would I find this country setting? I also "forgot" the 2.4GHz network so it doesn't latch on to it every time.

Did they even try the card or just wave you away with that excuse?

Thai immigration will see his history on their screen regardless of whether he has a new passport or not, but being out of the country for 6 months means there's little chance of refusal.
