Open Thai Bank Account
Liverpool Lou replied to UKPaul67's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
SWIFT transferring funds from overseas into any Thai bank does not require an "easing of the process". Instruct the overseas bank and it is done, it is of no consequence whether the bank is SCB, UOBT, Krungsri, KTB, TTB, BBL, Kasikorn or any other, there are no restrictions on incoming funds. -
Bert Elson, Pattaya’s British Honorary Consul, Retires
Liverpool Lou replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
Reading the OP link would help you. -
You do actually have three days to get the first shot I don't dispute that, read what my comment actually stated...with a touch latent humour. I did not write that "you have to get a shot immediately".

If a rat bites you, you have to get shot immediately.

Voluntarily giving money or assets to a Thai (or any other national) man, woman, wife, girlfriend or boyfriend is not "getting scammed" as in the intended definition in this thread. The subject of this thread is a criminal offence, your inaccurate depiction of gifting as "scamming" is not an offence of any type.

The money may have come from a us bank but the scam came from here. The money did come from US banks and you completely missed my point. The poster I addressed was using the scam to denigrate the security of Thai banks ("This is one of the reason I never keep too much money sitting in a thai bank"...his words), when the banking lack of security (in his mind) in the cases of the American women was a US "banking issue", not a Thai bank's problem.

phone scam on BIL succeeds - any advise?
Liverpool Lou replied to SunnyinBangrak's topic in General Topics
It's the scammers art, they give a good story, that's all it takes for someone, who may not be as sophisticated as AN members, to fall for it. -
No, I did not specifically respond to your "small print, fine print" remark, although, just to please you I will, they are synonymous in this context. All I have ever stated on this subject is the fact that insurance policies do not have "small print, fine print" or any other type of deliberately illegible font designed to make their policy conditions indecipherable because the insurance industry watchdogs nowadays outlaw the practice.

"Spot on", but only in the context that you couldn't be more wrong. You really think that insurers' overall premium revenues are not set at levels that massively outweigh any likely claims liability? Why would any business operate in a manner that is so risky to their existence that a few claims would put the company in jeopardy? Regardless, as a safeguard, all insurers have their own risks (re-)insured so that normal policy holders' payouts have negligible effect on their bottom line. Insurance companies "knee-jerk reactions" don't exist because they would be redundant.

You told me in another post that there is no small print on insurance policies, assuming small print and fine print are the same thing. If small print and fine print are not the same thing then you have my apologies. What's that got to do with my comment that you quoted there? I don't need, nor want, anyone's apologies, thanks

Where Can I Get Laundry Done on Sukhumvit Road?
Liverpool Lou replied to LaosLover's topic in Bangkok
"So don't be such a smart <deleted>". Don't you be such a smart <deleted>, this is what he posted and that has not been altered... "enjoying some stays in Bangkok along Suk Road. Used to always be cheap by the kilo laundry places conveniently near the hotel, but I'm finding them gone" -

Liverpool Lou replied to Stevey's topic in Isaan
Great OP, well done, newbie Stevey. -
"...subsided insurance". I have thought that was the last thing anyone wanted! Subsidised by the government who are already making billions from Tourism. Yes, I know what "subsidised" means. My exceedingly humourous comment was to your post referencing "subsided" insurance! Who wants a policy from a collapsing insurer?

How would he get his laundry there from the Sukhumvit 11-33 area?! -

Bit of a trek from lower Sukhumvit, the place that he's asking about.
