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.

Looking for a teaching job?
Everyman replied to StayinThailand2much's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
often they’re working alongside teachers who are actually being paid to work. So the agency is being paid by the the “volunteer” AND the school, keeping their entire salary! -
Typically commercially produced beer in most countries in Europe for example is just pasteurized and doesn’t have other preservatives. It’s commonly said however that Thai beer has preservatives in it to keep it from spoiling when left in the heat and sun. It’s also said that this is the origin of the bad hangovers from Thai beer as well as the odd flavor, even for “international” brand like Heineken. There’s an obvious difference between the taste of a Thai heineken and one from the Netherlands or anywhere else for that matter. Anyway…are there in fact preservatives in Thai beer that are uncommon in Europe? If you have not heard about the preservatives, that’s fine, but I’m interested in getting to the truth of the matter about whether they’re in there or not.

Assuming someone already has a degree in their respective teaching subject (but not education), What is the cheapest, easiest, fastest course that satisfies the ministry of education and krusapa requirements for a full teacher’s license? I realize that may be three different answers, but I think you see what I am getting at here. I hope this won’t devolve into a discussion of the educational merits of such a certificate in general. I have had enough school. I just want the certificate with the least possible difficulty and expense. Thank you

Open a bank account on a tourist visa
Everyman replied to BeerT's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Indeed. You don’t just “wear nice shoes” or “bring a Thai.” That doesn’t change the requirements. Also, if you have an account you expect to be unused for awhile, you can cancel the debit card so that there is no fee for the account. You still have to maintain a minimum balance for the account to not be considered inactive. I think that’s 3000 baht. But I think in principle if you have no card on the account and say a 4000 baht balance you can leave the account for 5 years and it should be okay. -
I like to stand at bars for my own reasons. Why do bar staff INSIST that I sit down? They will stand next to me telling me to sit down, over and over and over again. “You can sit down.” “I know.” ”Sit down.” What is the deal with this? I hate explaining it over and over again, I’m thinking of making up cards in Thai to hand to them so I don’t have to do that. Why do they lose their <deleted> if don’t sit down?

I’ve been turned away from about 7 branches and told I cannot open an account there on a tourist visa, only a “one year visa.” -

I’ve heard from someone that there is now zero nightlife in Vientiane whatsoever. Is this true?
