  1. Thank you for your help. I will look into it again
  2. I visit Thailand once or twice a year for 2 or three weeks at at time. I have an AIS sim card which I got a few years ago but keep it active by topping it up occasionally so as not to have to get a new one each time. Can anybody tell me what is the best plan for internet, data, call, messages etc. and how to buy it. Until recently there seems to be have been lots of options but all I can see now is one or seven day plans. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you
  3. Perhaps they were reacting to Thai police extorting Farangs. ??????
  4. I have not used AIS for about two/three months. Topped up today to keep sim active which brought credit balance up to monthly charge for package which I was using when in Thailand. . Got charged for recurring package. Cancelled it by dialling *689*61# . Got text confirmation of cancellation
  5. In the past I have transferred money to Thailand using Wise. I always got a good exchange rate with low charges and fast transfer. Last month I used Wise to transfer a small sum of money ($50) to an account with Advanced Bank Of Asia Lmited in Cambodia. Wise charged a small fee but when the funds arrived in Cambodian bank only $41 was credited to the account. Presumably Cambodian bank charged $9. Does anybody have any advice on how the send money to Cambodia without paying huge fees? Thanking you in advance for any suggestions

  8. How can these Russians be refugees? They are either draft dodgers , criminals or Russian Mafia. They do not meet the criteria for "refugees" https://www.unhcr.org/en-ie/what-is-a-refugee.html
  9. I went to a gold shop in Pattaya to buy gold (obviously). I asked if I could pay with credit card. The lady in shop said "yes" but that I would be charged a commission. I forget what % commission. I know, from my financial services experience, that all merchants , in this case the gold shop, are charged a commission by the credit card company. I did as previously suggested by another poster. Went to a nearby atm and withdrew cash. Kept the gold in hotel safe.
  10. If it sounds too good to be true then it is. What about all the Thai bar girl and boy bar scammers
