No, that's not "the end of the story", Joe Ferrari is not a fugitive, he is in prison serving the sentence that, he has stated, he will not appeal.

You are referring to UK most likely, irrelevant in Thailand No, I am not, why should I be referring to the UK? I know that banks here rarely, if ever, will open an ATM during service hours to hand back a retained card. Many times there are good reasons for cards being retained and, as debit cards are not embossed with the account holder's name, how would the retaining bank know to whom the cards belonged without investigating on the spot with other banks, something that they don't do?

Lol, you again. He is still fugutive, and was on bail. "He is still fugutive..." He is not a fugitive and at the time of that comment he was not a fugitive, he was not on bail, he was being held in Klong Prem prison.

Phuket, Hua Hin & Udon Thani have Villa supermarkets also and Foodland is in Korat.

They're usually all destroyed.

No, the machine's just running out of cash.

I've seen people go straight in and get cards back, how about you? Have you? You followed people into the bank who had their cards retained and waited to see what happened? I know that banks rarely, if ever, will open an ATM during service hours to hand back a retained card.

No, point the phone at the text and see it in English on the phone screen. Be amazed. I'd be more amazed to know how to point the phone that the menu is displayed on at the app that is on that same phone!

...if you're very lucky and if you can identify yourself with a passport and passbook that most people don't carry around. One reason cards are retained by ATMs can be the issuing bank's instructions due to misuse or a reported lost card and, because of that potential liability, most banks are reluctant to hand back other banks'/branches cards retained by their machines unless they know the reason.

Not much need to report a closed down ATM to the bank, he got his card back so only he could subsequently use it and his account was not debited.

That's what happens when ATMs run out of enough cash to dispense mid-transaction. You card was returned and your account wasn't debited, so no fraud.

Some of the most vital parts of the hard to find and, therefore, expensive "wasjing machines" [sic] are , in fact, the equally hard to find and expensive "pensils" [sic]. (I wrote this post out in pencil on my washing machine before typing it here).

I'm willing to bet that they have no need to!

Rivetting.

I suppose that when over 99% of their customers read Thai it's not unreasonable for them to not want the trouble of producing an English menu.

That requires two phones, doesn't it, one that shows the menu and another to point at it and translate?

Great idea, antagonise the owner of the place by complaining to Airbnb, that's really going to help the OP!

"nothing any other poster writes here is of any consequence". I already guessed this was how you felt. Shame that you misquoted me, I actually wrote, "nothing any other poster writes here is of any consequence or has any adverse effect on me.

I don't know if you've ever blocked anyone No, I've never been that petty and nothing any other poster writes here is of any consequence or has any adverse effect on me.

Copying/cutting and pasting doesn't work on Grab's food menus.

Just to be clear, you elevated to my ignore list hours back so stop trying. Just to be clear, adding a member to your ignore list has no effect on them, whatsoever, and, judging by your response to that post, you're not ignoring him!

Posting about use of ad blockers is against the forum rules as is posting negative comments about ads. Perhaps you'll only last a couple of minutes more following your confession.

And the other posters who made 90% of the posts (according to your stats) also "said absolutely nothing". But, then, of course, your post and my post are just opinions, not facts.

When you speak of a statistical sample, and, especially, when you italicise the word "statistical", one wonders what you mean. Statistically speaking,.. Would you please report to us your statisticical analysis? "...especially when you italicise the word "statistical..."" He didn't, he italicised the word "small", meaning that his sample was small. "Would you please report to us your statisticical analysis?" He did.
