I notice a lot of sausages are bound with red plastic twine at the ends that melts when grilled. Is this some kind of special twine that is designed for this and healthy? Or is it just leaving melted plastic behind? Some sausages appear to be bound with cotton string and that would seem to be better.

Bangkok Bank in CNX today.

The banks must be losing incredible amounts of money from prospective customers. But as I’ve commented privately to people, they just don’t give a damn. You could show up with a dump truck full of gold looking for a place to keep it and they would laugh at you and tell you to ‘eff off. -
If I were you I would buy stock in lithium mines, because idiotic governments are mandating electric cars but there isn’t enough lithium in the entire world to make enough batteries. Consequently the price of lithium will be astronomical in 5 years. In twenty years it will be normalized however because there will be newer battery technologies and the lunacy of electrification will be historical by then.

Yeah, well I predict it will go up 10,000% There you have it, another prediction. See how it easy it is make them? Seriously though, it would be nice to know if Thailand has any online trading platform like have existed for decades in the US. This stuff about “calling a broker” seems very 1970s to me.

I see on a lot of forums people saying that every branch has their own rules and you just need to keep trying. But if this was ever true, it isn’t anymore, and branches have standardized their procedures. As usual someone will say “i just opened an account and it and it was so easy” but then it turns out they are on a one year non immigrant OA and not a tourist visa or it was 6 years ago or something.

I am busy with projects that require a workspace like a desk and a chair. Sometimes I travel between towns near Bangkok but I can’t spare the time to stop working while I am in transit. A taxi doesn’t have a table and an SUV from Bolt doesn’t either. A bus table is not optimal because of scheduling. Are there limo services or something that have a proper desk where work can be done?

What is กล้วยน้ำว้า in English? A Google search in Thai was inconclusive. One site said “Ducasse banana” but seemed unsure of itself. I would like to know the name of this banana cultivar in English.

Maybe you typed in your account number wrong or something -
Facial recognition for Banking apps
Everyman replied to chilly07's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
I think what will happen is that the new system won’t work unless you have a Thai national ID card, such that “farangs” won’t be able to transfer more than 50k baht at a time from their phones. I would be happy to be wrong about that prediction but I am pessimistic. -
Bangkok Bank App Problems

If their policy change negatively affects joint accounts, and they don’t care, then what are we to think? -
To open a Thai bank account
Everyman replied to Destiny1990's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Try opening an account online, I think those only require a Thai ID card -
I don’t understand why anyone would use Wise to hold currency. Why not just leave it in a real account in USD/GBP/EUR or whatever?

I went in to Bangkok Bank yesterday and and got the face “scan” done, as well as some more details on how it’s going to work. Apparently starting soon, anyone using the mobile banking app to transfer more than 50,000฿ at a time will have to be verified through the phone’s front facing camera. Amounts less than this are unaffected, as are ATM transfers. People can opt out but they won’t be able to transfer amounts larger than 50,000฿ using the mobile app. It was done quite quickly at a local branch (a different branch in a different province from where i opened the account), though I am skeptical that the low resolution webcam they used to “scan” my face will provide a clear enough image.
