Keeps

Good luck to you all for your next chapter in life.

I seem to have an increasingly frequent problem even logging on to my Wise account. On average, 1 in 4 attempts successful. The problem is always trying to get past the 'Captcha' when trying to log on. It won't load in most instances. This is using a small laptop. Have zero issues with any other sites. Anyone have any ideas what may be causing this? Even when I clear my cache it is still an issue.

I wish @Harrisfan was the online equivalent of a hermit.

I appreciate you say you are 'going for good' but I would be tempted to keep an account open. It seems to be incredibly difficult to open a new account these days. You never know what is 'around the corner'. Do you plan to return for holidays? Would you possibly need to transfer money in the future to somebody else's Thai account? I personally would leave an account open with a few thousand baht in it (to cover any fees that may be charged) until you know 100% that you will never need a Thai bank account in the future.

All these Aussie criminals are starting to make the Brits look like model citizens.

Likewise, I use the same taxi company for every trip:- https://www.thailandtaxitransfer.com I have found them to be excellent on every trip. I use WhatsApp to contact them (or the occasional email). The boss, Chok responds very promptly. I have used them for BKK-JOM-BKK and also for longer journeys from BKK to Saraburi. Even arranged a 6 person VIP van a couple of weeks ago to transport the family from Saraburi to Jomtien for a mini break. The cars are immaculate and the drivers speak perfect English. They always send a message around 30 minutes before departure to notify you that they are on their way or already waiting at departure point. I also found their prices to be very competitive after having a look at a few firms. In two instances they were circa 30% cheaper than Nam's taxis. Also provide female drivers if preferred. Like @VBF there is no financial benefit to me sharing this contact. I just find them to be a very reliable company.

Whats the first 2 rules? RULE 1 - ignore everything @Harrisfan says and do not believe a word. RULE 2 - see RULE 1

That is why I pre-book. Guarantees the price and someone waiting for you when you arrive. Little chance of being mugged off as you were.

You was robbed. Should be 1,300 baht tops.

So, if a Thai visited England they would only be 'allowed' to eat English food? Not the occasional Thai meal? Dummy.

I also like the late afternoon/early evening time slot. Get a nice spot in a bar with a few cold ones and watch the world go by. The daytime workers returning home and the nighttime brigade arriving. Two entirely different worlds briefly coming together. I also enjoy early mornings. Up around 6am for a coffee then a 90 minute walk around and visit to a bakery before it gets too hot.

Not going to put your hands up and admit you were completely and utterly wrong?

I doubt it. It constantly makes stuff up just to get it's post count up.

Truly pathetic. You sound like a 12 year old girl. What exactly do you 'win'? Do you get a badge saying "Mummy's little soldier"? At first, I thought you was being ironic, turns out you were being moronic.
