  1. Our staff are very nice people. We give the three security staff and the two cleaners 500 baht each at New Year and Songkran. Their smiles are our priceless reward.
  2. I tried twice and got rejected. Had to show up in person. High on my harassment top-ten.
  3. Wonderful plan. Bangkok can use some more noise, pollution and safety issues.
  4. Same here, but as far as I can tell I still get the discount. The price for my standard ride has not changed.
  5. To verify whether it is the router, have you tried switching it off instead of distancing yourself?
  6. CW can be very fussy. I used Citibank, taken over by UOB. Plenty balance all the time, but since there were two accounts and they were not prepared just to follow the balance in the monthly statements it was rejected. Thankfully I had a plan B, another account with another bank. I went back to UOB to have them state that both accounts belonged to me and were continuous, but I can't tell the result at CW, because they went with my plan B. Took me two days.
  7. Wise takes from your wallet whatever currency is available and best deal.
  8. This year I had to appear three times in person. Once for a new passport, for which I have some understanding and twice for entering the country again, hard to understand how this is useful if you live at the same address for more than 10 years. I did not know about this and did not about online appointment, but since during Covid I went to the Pak Kret office once because I did not get a reply to my mailed application after more than six weeks and there was hardly any queue, I thought I would just go to CW and fix this. I arrived at 10.30 and queue number was 384. As said here the process was at 10 per hour, so that looked as if I would never have my turn. At the desk however they assured me I would be processed that day. Towards the end of the afternoon the speed went up. Then me and another person (both white hair) were taken out by the staff and got our 90 days. And I can confirm that an online appointment is served punctually. This still whole 90 days can do with a revamp.
  9. I am mostly "under wifi". Outside I use it for e-mail, maps, low data kind of stuff. And I have neither Fakebook nor Instagram.
  10. I have had True subscription for around 300 baht/month with 1,5 GB (more than enough for me) for over 10 years. Happy with their service, never had a problem, never had no signal.
  11. You get rejected if you have been outside the country and re-enter.
  12. Actually my choice is not there. In principle I will refrain from drinking when I have to drive, but accept either one glass of wine or a small beer over some period of time. After that it's a red line. As a farang you will always lose if anything happens.
  13. The main thing was the "condescending tone". I think nothing would have happened if he had explained the hotel's green policies in a more neutral way. The only the discussion would remain whether this is stingy or not, but the manager would not be to blame for the hotel's approach.
