It's now the same as BIG C. They used to carry unique and western products, but folks just have Brand loyalty for it , for some reason. Prices are the same.

Thailand is way more expensive than pre 2020, but where isn't?

thanks, hope some people can post when/if they get resolved. forums been quiet a bit lately.

Hi guys, 20/20 past times, THB from my Wise THB account to BKK bank was instant. Now, well as of yesterday, said it would take 12 hours, going on 18 hours and nervous. This can really mess up a lot of us here, in paying rent, expenses, and getting the full amount in the bank for visa renewals. Anyone know what will happen? I assume I'm not the only one, and that the funds will get to my BKK account eventually? this transfer was 15,000 baht. Kinda weird.

Just happened to me and it used to be instant. would also like to know why is it happening like this now

First time ever it not being instant was today. Twise THB to my BKK account says 12 hours. pretty ridiculous. guess this is a new thing? are they auditing/marking foreign transfers now?

Just got a general ad/advertisement at the top of my BKK app to make sure I CONFIRM my Sim card matches my name before April 30th in the app or i lose BKK mobile bank access. I don't think my thai sim card works abroad so i feel utterly screwed.

Thanks but verified when I opened it 3 years ago along with my facial picture in 2022

Not sure what to do- https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/2952406/govt-crackdown-on-mule-accounts-with-new-mobile-banking-rules Mobile phone/electric bill etc all in wife's name while im back West doing some work. such a headache. guess i'll lose mobile app access to my Thai bank account?

Just got a notice while I'm back in the West that I have until April 30th to make sure my BKK app phone # matches my SIM card, or I can no longer access my Bangkok bank account app on my phone. Anyone else get this message?

Just gets more absurd daily

Yea this, well thought-out and to the point. Expats are worrying again about nothing...

Laughable and will only affect those companies with 1 billion baht in foreign income. (good luck enforcing it anyways) Not sure why all the Farang get scared. they're not coming for you 200-800K baht...

He was just granted Parole. Man they move fast

Another pointless measure at tackling phone scams that doesn't do any real good.

Sometimes Bad PR is actually bad PR. lol
