I think ("think" being the operative word), it all depends on who you get.

The Yellow bank was great.

The 2 girls that served me in Central Thailand were brilliant.

It was all sorted quickly and everything works perfectly.????????

Fortunately, I'm not in a hurry to get their online banking working on my Windows PC, so I'll wait for their email and try what they say in it before I go back there to get it sorted.

I may try again tomorrow using the bank account as username and the password they sent me. The problem I see is the format of the bank account - do you put in the hyphens or not? I've tried with and without hyphens, but no success.

Update.

Opened a Krungsri  (yellow bank) account with internet and mobile banking. ATM card not required.

Opened in a Central province.

Took the wife as back-up but it was easy as pie.

Only passport & Thai drivers licence req'd.

Two fantastic,cheerful, helpful & funny girls.

Bye Bye Blue bank with my 800k after next annual extension.????????

Thanks for this.

I've tried about 20 times to get the Krungthai "Next" mobile app to recognise my face. Useless... "Blink your eyes", "Move your head", "Open Your Mouth", "Unable to connect to the service at the moment"... <deleted>!

No online banking at Krung Thai means no banking at Krung Thai.

So I went to my KrungThai bank, withdrew 1,000,000 and went over the road to Kasikorn and deposited it. At least I can transfer money online with them.

I started this reply an hour or so ago. I just applied at Krungsri in Phuket - took the form printed out from their web site and they said in about 7 days I will get an email with information on how to log in. Then, after I got home, I got a call from a KrungSri bank guy who said I'd get an SMS with a temporary password and how to log in. Sure enough, it arrived. But I can't log in - they want the account number and password. I tried several time without success. Maybe I'll go back and get them to fix it or I'll wait the 7 days.

I've been using Lazada and AliExpress for years but something has changed recently and I can't use my Visa card.

When I submit the payment - which has always worked - I get this:

When I checked the payment method, it all looked OK:

I think I must've deleted that card - not sure - but when I tried to add another, I get this:

- and I can't see how to add a new card!

So I'm forced to used COD which means I have to stay in for hours waiting for the delivery. 

PITA.

Here they are:

I found a stack of them in an old case that I haven't used in years.

Probably from the noisy f*cking workers over the road who've taken more than 6 months to "renovate" a house into a pile of cr@p.

Here is a photo:  

It might be rude, never mind - just say what it means!

Google Maps on my mobile says it is permanently closed, but in my computer it doesn't.

This one: "108/201 M.5 Chalermprakiat Ror 9 Road, Rasada"

Anyone know?

Pulse-TV has been having a few problems recently.

I was wondering if there were any alternatives.

Any suggestions?

Hi.   This is the caterpillar of Daphnis hypothous - a beautiful Hawkmoth species - related to the Oleander Hawkmoth.  I have these on my desert roses too - but the plants recover quickly - and seeing the beauty of the larvae and the moths outweighs the temporary carnage! (IMO)

 

My memory's going! Of course it's the Hawk Moth larva - I uploaded the first pic (somewhere) in 2015!  That moth was on a cactus.

I also uploaded the other pics at the same time showing my eaten Desert Rose and the dead larvae that I picked off it. 

But it did recover - so only one real attack in 7 years! I'll be keeping a sharp lookout for the next few weeks!

Edit: "Edit: any topical pyrethrum insecticidal spray will get rid of them" - Thanks!

I must admit, I have neglected my Desert Rose for years. It used to be beautiful. (Pic 1)

And today I found a load of excrement around the base of the pot. (Pic 2)

Didn't take long to discover the culprit. (Pic 3)

There was even a baby one on another plant. (Pic 4)

So what's the best spray to keep these b*ggers away?

Thanks for any help you can give.
