And how many millions have died from the jab? Right....

And how many millions have recovered with no jab and no problem?

And how many milltions would've died anyway even if there had been no pandemic?

Right...

That was my reply. I usually refuse to be baited by total nonsense. 

No, that was rather absense of argument and not a choise not to reply.

It's look legit but be aware that the address is in Thai script (at least for me).

Also leading part of the account number is "XXX"ed.

What's the "it"?

If all you want is a document proving you have a Kasikorn account, perhaps the bank will for a fee prepare a letter stating such, including your Thai address and mail it to you at your current address.  Your most reliable answer will probably come from the bank itself.

Are you unable to read or what? Not only have I stayed that in my question, but highlighted it.

I don't have the app. The app  requires a thai sim-card with internet on it, to get activated? I'm not in Thailand therefore turning on internet on my thai sim, even for a shot while, will cost a lot.

In Kasikorn internet banking, is there a way to get a bank statement with my address on it? Or if such a statement with an address on it doesn't exist, is there a way to create it by myself somehow by glueing together my address and a statement, somehow? All via internet banking.

Or can Kasikorn email (not physical mail) me such a document?

The bottom line is, a document should look legit and contain my Thai address associated my Kasikorn account and my name on it.

Therefore, there's  no difference, except the -100 thb, fees-wise and exchange rates whether I withdraw money from an ATM and pay, or pay by card directly in a shop?

And, for this matter, a shop will also use an exchange rate THB -> USD -> Local currency by Visa or MasterCard.

Unless I select to use their own local rate, which I never do.

When you say abroad, I will assume you mean outside of Asia. In that case a Thai ATM or Debit card is a horrible thing. The best thing you can do is to take out as much as possible and bring cash intead. You will be in for high fees of using the card both i ATM as well as a debit card, and you will get <deleted> exchange rates.

The same question:

Whether it be Asia, or Latin America - how does it matter? An ATM would use an exchange rate THB -> USD -> Local currency by Visa or MasterCard.

Depends where you are and what card you're using.

In Asia using a Thai debit card in an AtM is very good value for money IMhO.

Apart from the local ATM fee, there appears to be no other charges.

In Vietnam/Cambodia almost the same rate as changing Thai 1,000 baht notes

My question is about a debit card How does it depend on what card I'm using? And what types of cards do you mean can make a difference?

Whether it be Asia, or Latin America - how does it matter? An ATM would use an exchange rate THB -> USD -> Local currency by Visa or MasterCard.
THB -> USD is the same for the whole world, for a particular day.

USD -> Local currency - too.

What's generally better in terms of avoiding fees, conversions between currencies... when one is abroad and uses his thai bank card:

  * withdrawing from an ATM as much as possible per time, ideally a whole amount I'll need to live on

  * paying by card in shops, restraurants by card as often as possible, while withdrawing just small enough in order to get through the current, or 1-3, month(s)?

Does 2.5% of conversion fee occur either way?

I'm aware about 100 thb of fees for ATM withdrawals, this is negligible for this question. And I'm aware about limits that may exist in ATMs, these also have been taken into consideration.

Thai debit/credit cards charge  2.5% currency conversion fee (i.e., THB to dollars)

Is it the case when money is withdrawn from an ATM abroad too, from a Thai card?

If that works that's going to be an expensive way to fund a transfer because Thai debit/credit cards charge  2.5% currency conversion fee (i.e., THB to dollars)...then you will also have the Transferwise sending fees which are higher when using a card to fund the transfer.

 

Transferwise webpage on using an international card payment to fund a transfer....like using a Thai debit/credit card to fund a dollar transfer.

I'm not asking whether or not a possiblity to pay by card exists. I've asked about one's succesful experience.

You can send baht to Thailand; but you can't send baht out of Thailand using Transferwise.   See below Transferwise webpage for currencies TW can send to or from....and those currencies they can only send to.   Thai baht is one of the many currencies TW can only send to; not from.

https://transferwise.com/help/articles/2571907/what-currencies-can-i-send-to-and-from

That's irrelevant because that's about a different thing -- sending currencies to and from one's THB account. 

I don't send THB from my THB account - I may want to send dollars and on the last step as a payment option I'd choose my Thai bank card as a payment method.

But what's the difference between that and using my card abroad in  shops, or paying in the internet in dollars? In the later case I also transfer funds out of Thailand.

The last time I tried to send money from Transferwise, with zero balance, to elsewhere using my Kasikorn card as a payment method, it didn't come through. Has anyone had luck with that?

Why do most countries have almost full hospitals? Maybe because of the fact that they hospitalize those who need it the most -- asymptommatic? That is, those who get sick and recover, on their own, even without knowing it.

How come that Europe and UK, for instance, can't stop the virus, whereas Tanzania stopped it last year simply by doing nothing and by refusing to do anything? No tests, no masks. And there have been no piles of bodies. Granted there're no reported cases either because they don't look for it. But their people don't die on the streets and the population hasn't declined in half. Tourists are coming too, some only because of absense of stupid covid restrictions. What will the advocates of masks and vacciane say?
