I did not mention any figure on purpose so that I would get the reply you have just posted, and also I can not remember the exact figure, but it was far in excess of that required for card renewal! ...
P.S. Your comment "can be checked, unlike your claim." I find in extremely bad taste!
"I can not remember the exact figure, but it was far in excess of that required for card renewal!"
I didn't think that you'd "be able to remember it".
As I posted, and as has been reported in the press a number of times by the Bank of Thailand, balances of dormant accounts that were closed by banks are transferred to the BoT from where they can be claimed. If it was such a big deal, that's all you have to do, there's no need to keep whinging about "losing" it when it is not lost if you can provide the necessary identification to the BoT.
"Your comment "can be checked, unlike your claim." I find in extremely bad taste!"
I'm not concerned about your interpretation of my comment which was simply pointing out that your claim (that you will not back up with figures) cannot be checked; that is a fact.
I'm not so stupid as to expect you to produce evidence from your deceased friend, obviously, but I was expecting that you could justify something that apparently concerns you as much as you claim it does and that was such a significant amount to "lose". My claim that dormant balances can be reclaimed from the BoT is also a fact, a fact that can, very easily, be checked.
