I recently missed my stop and was late for an important meeting. The BTS Skytrain normally has audio announcements and also displays the next station in text on the advertising TV screens. However on this occassion, the next station displayed on the in train TV was incorrect and was showing a station right on the other end of the line. Also there was no audio announcement like there normally is - and I could not see the station signs out of the window due to passenger congestion. I have used the BTS for years and this is the first time I have missed my stop. Next time I go somewhere new for a meeting on the skytrain I will use Google Maps, but: 1. Has this ever happened to anyone else here where there is no audio announcement and the next station info on the TV screens is faulty 2. Is it worth putting in a formal complaint, how far am I likely to get? Cheers guys!

Good afternoon fellas, As I am sure most of us here use LINE, I am hoping someone knows what is going on. I often call people via LINE voice call, and normally it works great apart from occasional bad signal. However sometimes when I make a LINE free voice call to someone, I am later told that it never rang. For me I would be waiting around 15 to 20 seconds for them to pick up and hearing the outgoing ring. However even if they are sitting right next to their phone with the sound on, it just goes immediately to missed call. I have tried hard to fix this myself and it seems that: If the other person's smartphone screen is off, it is hit or miss - sometimes they will hear my LINE call as normal and other times (even with sound or vibrate ON) they could have their phone right next to them but nothing will happen. I have tested and both of us will have good phone signal. I have contacted LINE customer support but am frustrated with the seemingly stock response, so am reaching out to you ASEAN NOW guys in hope you can help me! Cheers.

Still the same, money comes first and card last.

Thank you all for your replies. I forgot to include that after the 2 minutes of the ATM locking up and transaction timing out, my card was finally returned to me by the ATM. (I have now edited my original post) During that time, it just had the loading screen. Re: the ATM, it was one out of a few ATMs inside a supermarket building. I will speak to my bank about this to check everything is as it should be. Thanks again

Hi all Just wondering if I have been the victim of some kind of card skimming trick, or if this was an ATM error. I went to get cash, had inserted my pin and selected the amount of cash I needed. The ATM then froze for around 2 minutes, before eventually displaying a message that transaction had timed out. Whilst it froze I pressed cancel many times but nothing happened. Just a slow machine, or some kind of fraud? Cheers. EDIT: After the 2 minutes and time out my card was given back to me from the ATM.

Interesting @KhaoYai. If I use mobile data in Thailand to call Thai friends who are also using mobile data, 9 times out of 10 the signal is crystal clear with no issues. However if I use mobile data to call someone using wifi in the UK, the signal will cut off regularly.

I have an excellent internet connection here in Bangkok, as do my relatives back in the UK. However when we voice call/video call using various popular apps (that I won't name due to libel laws) the signal will regularly cut off for about 10 to 20 seconds at a time, and we cannot hear each other at all. When using these apps to call other friends in Bangkok, it hardly ever cuts out. Two questions: 1 . What is your experience of voice/video calling family and friends back home? 2. Can distance affect signal quality/strength?
