  1. When I first got to Samui from Phuket I went straight to Bangkok Bank with the necessary Immigration address proof form my new address and asked them to change my address. Naturally they fought like dogs then finally did it. I realized they were still charging me for ATM withdrawals and large deposit and statements etc. I asked why and they said it was still a Phuket account so I had to pay for everything. No less than two dozen times I asked them to look in their computer and tell me the address. Finally they relented and saw my Samui address. They were baffled beyond believe but still said to avoid the fees I needed to close the Phuket account by traveling all the way there (or letting it die) and open a new account with yet another address certification from Samui Immigration despite them having the same address in their computer. You can't win. Even when you win, you don't win. Same basically happened at KTB and they said it was absolutely impossible to open a new account in Samui before cancelling the Phuket account by traveling to Phuket. I firmly explained in Thai how insane the policy was and all the Thais in the bank started cheering me on and then suddenly the impossible was possible and they did it with the obligatory forty signatures.
  2. Actually the country in EU I am referring to does not use married names for women and a US passports can be issued with versions of a name and even and "add on" name. Not really the point of the thread though.If you think a name change in Thailand won't be a problem you haven't been here long.
  3. Registered business accounts only. It's not news. If you slipped through a crack I am happy for you but the rules are no new or old accounts in Thailand without a Thai ID.
  4. Farangs can't have PP accounts anymore anyway (they squashed mine) but it's true what you say. My Thai friend has been run around by them for months and it actually kills her income. I agree it's perilous to mess with my name. As far as banks I suspect it would be starting from scratch. I've had KTB and BKK accounts for ten years and I am sure I could get it done but not without significant hair loss. As far as license it's don't ask don't tell until renewal time but risky for sure. Getting my DLs was the worst two weeks of my life. Luckily in Samui there is a guy at the DLT who can be accommodating with the proper motivation. I met him when I asked for a Thai international drivers permit and he initially said I could only get it in Surat. I said half joking "You go do it for me". He said Ok. A week later he met me at a 7-11 with my passport and my shiny new motorbike and car Thai IDPs legit from Surat Thani DLT. I've heard there is a way to add an AKA to a US passport so both names would be there but the Embassy in BKK is not responding to my inquiries. Tonight the bear sleeps.
  5. I use it daily to write short stories for me to learn Italian. I ask it to target the grammar and vocabulary I want to learn. Brilliant
  6. The Afterskool bar on Soi Cowboy still have all the girls in school uniforms?
  7. Insomnia in a Thai jail? I'm worthless without a good night's rest. They better look into that right away.
  8. I guess it was a while back. Maybe 8 years now but it was only 8000 total. I was done in 20 minutes came back a week later and gave them a sample to make sure it took. I was quoted and booked online. At the time I don't think it was BKK hospital that's why I added the location. I'm pretty sure it was called Phuket International. I know because there is another BKK hospital I went to for and ear infection. They are about ten minutes apart.
  9. Went to BKK in Phuket. 8000 baht. They did the hole poke method. No after pain. The only pain was from the anesthetic shot which felt like it was going directly into my soul. Yes this was 6 years ago but why are you restricting yourself regionally. For the 35000 quote you got you could get a cheap snip and a week long luxury holiday elsewhere in the country. https://maps.app.goo.gl/1thgfsETSBRZ4rdB7
  10. I send 65k every month with Wise to BKK Bank no problem. Then I transfer it all to my KTB account so when I get my year long statement for my extension renewal Immigration just sees 65k in and out every month and doesn't get to see every one of my purchases for the year and it's only one page long. Last month BBK B blocked the transfer and said I needed.to go to the bank and identify myself. That's an hour of driving so I called them and they said the transfer from BKK to KTB was capped at 50k until I went to the bank and let them take my photo for their ever changing security standards. I just split the transfer in half and it went through.
  11. And the hot dog thread reemerges like a punctual case of herpes.
  12. Not getting burned again. If I have to listen to Rick Astley sing Never Gonna Give You Up one more time my head will explode.
  13. Now I am confused. The military doesn't use tasers. There have been reported deaths from tasers use but they always have contributing factors that make them a minuscule percentage of incidents. More people die in bathtubs then from tasers every year. You are making assertions based on ZERO knowledge of the subject and ZERO experience in the field and have ZERO history controlling violent subjects. On what planet would your opinion of something with absolutely ZERO supporting evidence would matter to anyone but you? You should talk less and pray to everything you believe to be holy that men like me are available and well trained to protect little girls like yourself.
  14. Identify yourself. My policy forbids me to respond if you are a farang.
  15. It's not impossible the seller uses multiple platforms and they are linked.
  16. So you are saying you defend the officers choice to go straight to a contact weapon over a non lethal knowing broken bones or permanent disfigurement could result? How long were you on the force? Which training video leads you away from the experts?
  17. Google English to Thai translators in BKK. They are used to legal docs but not lawyers
  18. You do realize a tazer causes no significant or lasting injury and is lower in the escalation of force methods than the ASP the officer was swinging right?
  19. Professional washer repair staff say avoid as many bells and whistles as you can. They always break and the computer modules are expensive. Keep it simple.
  20. I have this one and I love it. I use it a lot and especially the little cannisters to make milk shakes and smoothies. I got rid of my Panasonic never looked back https://s.lazada.co.th/s.9xSXp
  21. Dead wrong. I've been searching for a wild hive since my gardener completely destroyed one a meter from my property. He harvested the honey like a bear would instead of telling me first in which case I could have given him the honey and saved the hive for my hive box.
  22. B Quik replaced my whole AC from soup to nuts. That was 8 years ago still blows ice chips. IDK if there's a B Quik in Parts.
  23. I knew a hot little bar girl. She was 40kg soaking wet but fun. She lived behind my Gf's shop so every morning I would see new guy drop her off. I'm literally the only guy in town that never got my hands on her. Finally some Swedish guy snapped her up and whisked her off to his mother land. Now she's a meatball.
