    Does anyone know if SCB or Kasikorn allows you to convert the USD that's in your Thai bank FCD account to your THB acct online, without having to go into the bank, or without having to phone them? I was with Citibank, and I could always convert online, but my accounts were transferred to UOB last week, and they said I would have to come into the bank each time, or do it by phone. UOB doesn't allow online currency conversions. Thanks. 

     

     

    I'm in the same situation, you will have to go to the bank now ( any UOB ) to transfer from your FCD to Thai Baht account, also I'm waiting for a new PIN from headquarters for my Citi/UOB debit card - doesn't work, annoying. Glad I'm with SCB as well.........cannot have a FCD with SCB without a work permit and it's come to the branch as well for FCD transfers to Thai baht account.

    Take a look on Facebook, Phuket and you will see any number of Russian names touting properties for sale and rent, not to mention one or two who advertise a car washing service, with the ad written mostly in Russian.

     

    Somehow they are getting away with it and it shouldn't be hard to catch them if the BIB used a little bit of nous, but then again..........

    "getting away with it" if only the Authorities would turn away from bribes....maybe its started, many arrests lately...yes I'm sure locals see the working Russians and are now calling it in......the majority don't have the funds for their 90 day freebee stamp or purchased Education visa stays.... Bust it up !!!

  3. My crown ( front tooth ) fell out yesterday, went in had it re cemented but probably drop out again, was quoted 14,000 for a new crown and probably drill a couple millimetres more for a longer crown pin. Hopefully the re-cement will last awhile.... 

  4. No they won't use Nukes but it's highly probable Israel will take out launch sites, military facilities in Iran. I cannot see Israel not responding to the failed Iranian 300 or so drone and missile attack, but by not responding you will probably see a more backing up of  Israel by Saudi, Jordan, Qatar, Oman, UAE,  Bahrain which is bad for Iran 

  5. When you arrive your E-Visa will come up on their system when you give him your passport. Ask him if you can get a 30 day exempt instead. The E visa should have an enter Thailand before date, maybe you can use later and re enter prior to the e-visa enter before date. When I arrived during covid times with an OA visa ( at the time only OA and marriage visas allowed - ridiculous times ) and a valid retirement extension with re entry permit the IO asked me which one do you want to use........
