I am not sure, but I think Wise can only transfer more than 50,000 THB in one go to the 3 biggest banks in Thailand and none of the others. So another reason to bank at one of the 3 biggest Thai banks if you do a lot of transfers with Wise. 

I transfer over 100k every month using Wise to my BBL account, no problems.

Why do people still use BKB. All other banks give a 12 month statement the same day, Krungsri take 20 mins. 

I use BBL because they are easier to do international money transfers using Wise. As for the 5-7 business days, I know this extra step and plan accordingly. 

Stop by and ask the Triage desk at Banglamung Government Hospital, probably a few hundred baht.

Trump isn't the Prosecutor. And Trump doesn't have to testify at trial.

I guess he could do what he did in the New York trial, take the stand and plead the 5th over 400 times eh?

Should be a large fine if a business claims CCTV no work

I'm sure that bar's CCTV isn't the only camera in the area.  

The farang should have known better that to get in a argument with the Thais over a parking spot (was it a car or motorbike?).

They say it's was a gogo bar, so I'll assume it's on Soi LK Metro, whenever I park my motorbike in front of a bar in that area, I make sure I go in their bar first, never had a problem over the years.

If Fani Willis is caught in lies in her court filings, she is history.

And if Trump is caught in a lie?

If by speaking English do you mean as in American taxes?

Yet the OP photo shows medical services at the scene?

Confusing?

Many of these news stories use stock photos, the one shown in the OP shows zero signs of rain.

What is the problem?

 

I'm law-abiding; I choose to use an agent for convenience.

 

That's one less person ahead of you as you wait in the queue.

Let's not pretend there are some farangs that use agents to use the "less than legal" route.

Why do they have to be tailored? How about buying a pair off Lazada and then taking them to a local seamstress to get the right fit? Much cheaper for a one time use item.

What's the classification of these motorized vehicles? Do they need to be insured? 

I knew about it and went last year with my buddies from the Darkside, it's not too far from us.  This year we skipped it as there was rain on Saturday and there were other parties we had to attend.

I like the night concerts best, last year they had about 50 motorcycles just driving around in a big circle with folks dressed up in various outfits, ok to watch for a few minutes but they went on for a long while.

With my luk kreung son, I speak English with him and him mom speaks Thai, he attends a Thai school where he's tops in English, but in Thai he scores average grades. We stopped his Chinese course and his Thai grades improved.

Lot's of teachers offer classes after school hours to help boost the children's grades for small monthly fees. Ask around. 

I did my visa extension a few weeks ago and when I went to my bank they gave me an on-the-spot 3 month letter, at Jomtien IO they said I needed 12 months and gave me this sample letter to show the bank. I went back to the bank and they said that type of letter will take 5-7 business days. Cost me 100b with Bangkok Bank and it arrived 5 business days later. This was for me using the international monthly transfer.

Here's the sample letter IO gave me to show the bank.

Literally dead drunk.

OP didn't you ask about a bad bum gun? Now a broken microwave?  How much is the rent at this place where things are breaking down on a weekly basis?

Have you thought of checking the big home improvement shops? Home Pro, Thaiwasadu, Global House, Do Home, Mega Home?

There were 4 notebooks/laptops in the room?  How many do they need to take on a holiday?

At least try to be more original too, 'family friendly' and Pattaya has been done to death.

So true, any bad news story in Pattaya, and the posts mentioning "family friendly" are done ad nauseam. 

Let's face it, there's no educational requirement to be a taxi driver. Messing with some taxi drivers is like getting between a dog & it's meal.
