Slow Wise transfers
ikke1959 replied to ikke1959's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
I transferred to Bangkokbank 1000 euro is 37k.. nothing special -
Today I tranferred money by Wise to my account here in Thailand using Wise. I do this for many years already, but I noticed that the last months the money transfers are being with held by Wise. When you check the rates they mention that the money will arrive in 4 minutes, but when the transfer is made it suddenly change to Wednesday, tomorrow. On Friday 30 May I transferred money to my account and it could not be paid out for Wednesday 4 June too. The reason was that the banks were closed. Today again I contacted Wise and they told me they need time to process the transfer, but that is rubbish of course, as everything is being digitalized. I know that banks are checking more for money transfers, but Wise don't send the money to bank, they do it tomorrow. I am sure they will hold the money to make extra money out of it, no problem for me but be clear on your website and don't promise it will arrive in 4 minutes. A few months back never had a problem, until these last 3/4 months. Remitly is much quicker although a bit more expensive, but I am going to use Remitly until Wise is not withholding the money anymore. I hope those who have the same problem maybe have other options too, and let Wise feel that we don't accept their policy

Report Bhumjaithai MP Pressures Health Ministry Over Cannabis Chaos
ikke1959 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
There are 2 solutions.. The RTP will check all shops that sell weed and close them, but that is a wish what is impossible.. or the second option is make legal and with good rules and laws, let them register their shop and tax them...Illegal shops will be dismantled I think second option is the best, as it is impossible to legalize first the cannabis and now make it illegal... Same with vaping.. allow it and tax it.. Good for the country- 8 replies

I am not surprised there are no more accidents.. On the ricefield in front of my house there is also a lunatic throwing bombs to the birds as he is afraid that they will eat the seeds.. about 100 day for 3 weeks and later when when the rice is almost ready to harvest another 3 weeks... And he is giving sometimes his aunt who is 85 the bombs to shoot...Never an accident occured, but it is just a matter of time I believe... But what do you expect here in Thailand /??

Report Bangkok's Formula One Ambitions Face Potential Financial Deficit
ikke1959 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
It is like the casino bill... the F1 is only to please the Shinawatra family...They will earn a lot of money with this event and so it must come to Thailand... The PM did not went for nothing to Monaco to talk about it... It is no wonder that the PM doesn't step down until the budget for 2026 is approved.. All this kind of events and benefits for this family should pass...Kick them out let them organize things in other countries -

Report Thaksin Shinawatra's Hospital Drama: New Probe into Ethical Misconduct
ikke1959 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Committee and subcommittee and the result will not change .....Keep it simple.. Ban the whole Shinawatra clan out of the country and everything will be better.. As long as daddy is back there are only problems and nothing is been done for the country and its people... All time spent to investigate 181 days in hospital instead of prison, daddy is illegal ruling the country for his and his family benefit and the PM has shown many times that is not made for the job and the biggest mistake of Pheu Thai...- 27 replies

Crime Indian Workers Illegally Operating Tour Services in Pattaya

Crime Indian Workers Illegally Operating Tour Services in Pattaya
ikke1959 replied to Georgealbert's topic in Pattaya News
Simplicity of Thai thinking at its best.... Foreigners who organize tours or be guides are violating the law as these jobs are only for Thai people.. They take away our income and it is not fair the netizens claim, but they forget that the tourists bring in the money, and with no tours or guides tourists will not do the tour and will not spend their money. so it will be cost them more than allow these "illegal" activities...And why can do foreigners these jobs?? because the Thai can't do it, lack of education, lack of money, and lack of willingness to work -
Politics Thaksin Plays Power Card to Keep Paetongtarn in Place
ikke1959 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Thaksin is the real culprit... Nobody can get rid of this man, but maybe he is not in the country anymore... He was quiet for many days now, and of course he will do everything for his family instead of so called doing it for the country's sake... He own wallet is the most important... If they were working for the country and the Thai people the PM should step down immediately, but the longer it takes, the more Pheu Thai and the Thaksin will loose credibility and support -
Tourism Israel-Iran Conflict Puts a Damper on Thailand's Tourist Dreams
ikke1959 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
It is a shame that teh Jews when they got Palestine never have recognized that they had to live with Muslim population. They have never accept the land they got and wanted more and more.. They want to take over the whole country..They violate the agreements with building on the West Jordan Banks, They never recognized Gaza, and they will not stop till they have conquered the whole country. They are in fact the agressors and they know because of what happened during the WOII they are being felt pity by the West and they keep on getting their support. The USA and the EU could have stopped this land taking actions long ago, but they still support it, while Israel is openly now committing war crimes.. Not many people all over the world like Jews for ages..you can wonder why, but what they are now doing will surely not contribute to more acceptance -
The problems involved in being "mixed race" in Thailand
ikke1959 replied to JAG's topic in General Topics
In Thailand everything that is not according to their mind is wrong, no matter who or what.. And easy things are always made difficult. They can't think, find solutions or help...only answer most time is mai dai kha... while solutions are easy... This is a problem indeed, and the same problems have foreigners at immigration.. Come with 3 different things and they can't do it, it must be done separately...90 days, address notification and extension visa... I will get 3 numbers and 3 queues....This is the same.. No matter how much proof you show in their mind she look to much foreign so she is foreign. -
Getting a Thai License - Thai daughter.
ikke1959 replied to JAG's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
indeed 1000 copies later and still they refuse although it is obvious with her birth certificate that she is Thai.. But in Thailand easy things are being made complicated first and than suddenly they switch for an unknown reason... Maybe no license needed as many Thais don't have one, you can always claim that the Land Department refused to give her a driverslicense -
Crime Man Shoots Neighbours After Noise Complaint in Chumphon
ikke1959 replied to Georgealbert's topic in Southern Thailand News
In fact is the RTP to blame, as they don't do anything if you complain about loud music. Many people complain about about loud music from neighbours, temples, parties, etc but if call the RTP they don't do anything about it.. -

Nonsense.. Most flights are booked weeks before departure, and the Israeli-Iran conflict is just escalating in the last week.. Thailand should be happy that less Israeli tourists are coming as they caused a lot of trouble as we could read here- 92 replies

Report Thailand Tightens Rules for Foreign Drivers: Tests Now Mandatory
ikke1959 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
I am wondering if they are aware which drivers are driving without a driverslicense at all and who makes the worst and most accidents?... It are not the foreigners but the netizens..... but that is no problem for them to get a driverslicense although a lot can't even read and write properly and never have done a decent driving education and test.. Look what happened with the Swedish man ... school van accidents lately or bus accidents.... And wondering why Thailand is not popular anymore for expats and tourists an retirees -
Happens to me too all the time.. accidently ... Driver don't look further that the end of their car it seems.. The haven.t learned to watch and see in the distance what is going on.. This is also an example.. A normal driver could drive without hitting the man as it is obvious he is laying on the road.. Again, the driving education must be reformed

Everything, really everything must be rehearsed... even if they do it for many years.. example is for Wai Kru Day, kids who do it since p1 and now in p6 must rehearse .... My partner was in the election office last year, and there was a few days before a meeting for a rehearsel.... Nothing can be done in Thailand without control...
