You must admit that Big Joke is quite cute. Lol

Perhaps they were reacting to Thai police extorting Farangs. ??????

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

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

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

Criminal connections. On overstay perhaps?

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.

The Russians' cards don't work anymore

Isn't everything from China fake?

If it sounds too good to be true then it is. What about all the Thai bar girl and boy bar scammers

Does anybody believe this?

I have to agree with you

I have brought up to five bottles between duty free and checked in luggage. I know it is a risk as only 1 litre is allowed but I was never stopped by customs. Thought it was worth the risk.
