well my Santander account was frozen no warning no reason when i phoned them no reason just a slight hint of tax, so i asked if they need my P.60 as i had this years copy, they seemed to laugh it off??? but i sent that and another bank statement my account was unfrozen within 48 hours. as this meant i had my pension stopped being able to access it for 3 weeks all told , i transferred that money that i had taken out of my savings account in another bank, both banks were in my name with the same address but for some unknown reason they froze my account again '' was it because i had the nerve to put my money into a bank that would not freeze my account because thats all that i done, after one Santander contact staff informed me it was ''electronic's when i phoned them again i was told that my log-in details had to change ??? and my bank would send the new ones by post within 14 days three weeks on and no mail with regard to my new log-in details, it felt like Santander employed naughty children who promised to behave but in the end could not keep their promises its three months on now as Santander have denied me access to my state pensions i will soon run out of money ,altogether, i am 72 years old i think Santander denying my access to my state pension is illegal and they tried to make out i had put the wrong details into my log-in to many times, but the login details only changed when i asked about this freezing OAP Pension's and the law.. some of these bankers are bad people we need more well trained staff at banks as from my vantage point they don;t know their <deleted> from their elbow

the likes of Mr T has long gone i have had one driver who was called by condo security was supposed to pick us up later.....no chance i mentioned it to him {security}, he just shrugged not interested, like now his odd 100 baht tip has gone never to be seen again. . i now only use cabs that are known...or are recommended by friends. all this seems to of been escalated in the last year or so as the good drivers got the lions share of the graft like Mr T but there seems to be another scammer crowd have took over. phone grab/Bolt/.all busy get a Baht bus i have noticed they have been really packed on the busy days......about 16 years ago i handed a baht bus driver 100 baht and he hit the gas like a shot....i have never tried that again.

went to Central Festival on Saturday very busy and traffic at a standstill on second road due to roadworks after we finished in Central i said to the wife lets try and dodge the traffic and get a taxi to Soi Buchow so the wife asked a taxi at the rank on second road. 400 baht i thought she was joking but no that is what they wanted for basically 5 mins in a taxi, it appears a lot of these taxi's have decided they want to charge these prices, as she ordered a taxi to Don Mueng Airport from Pattaya 1800-- 2000 baht ok its awhile since i done that trip but i am sure it was around 1300 -1400. i checked online and it appears these cowboys are upping the normal rates that come out at 1400 baht.---will not be using the cowboys in future......their loss. bad vibes... when the taxi to the airport is costing more than the flight ?

funny you should say that ? i have had two incidents in the last twenty years re banks and money going west both were in Thailand and both involved people who worked in the banking industry?? i use a UK C.Card so i was covered but all these security codes and verified or not it appears that any more codes/card readers/verified in four different banks its the people who work in banks not so much the customers who need more ''security procedures'' going by my dealings from the last twenty years.

my last attempt was ''Focus Color Lab Pattaya'' the lad looked awake but when i got home and {i had asked him to Email me picture} it was small very clear but as they want to read details not enough, so back down there monday hopefully i can explain {well the wife says she already told him readable} this is turning into a pain

well in my ten years i have only had one minor problem and as it dragged on i went with another company but i found them an absolute nightmare, three weeks later i was back with Wise, the thing that gets me is i noticed an error in my details so decided to tidy it up a bit ? it was all my own doing what is that saying '' let sleeping dogs lie ? ''

well i got the most intelligent acting friend from my local to do his best..... but not good enough ??? ,,,,my wife had a go...not acceptable,,, Kodak not good enough ??? i am now planning a day out first to Photo shop in Pattaya give them a try if not central festival to Phone/computer shop {they should know how to use my ''Samsung A12'' with its vast array of photo enhances } to be honest i was quite surprised when i tried to contact Wise UK. nothing like i anticipated. maybe a bad day ?

after a few months back to Thailand i noticed it was a UK number that that was displayed on messages from Wise so trying to put things right felt like a good idea at the time...about twenty Photo's later i am now starting to feel like i am pis..ing into the wind ....first one a bit blurred....three later not all the edging of my passport...next a bit old i went to Kodak and that did not suit ,,, the lad looked about ten but no help at all. my phone has about 1001 settings but to me mean nothing has any one found a proper nerd type photo guy or lady , {our proper computer guy died two years ago} RIP lad.

my treatment after landing in Phuket last year by Thai Immigration was unbelievable i admit i did have a full folder of documents re Co-vid, but immigration not knowing what a non-imm-O visa looks like was shocking to say the least, but weeks later being told i had to fly back to Phuket so they could correct their mistakes was like being in an episode of ''Faulty Towers'' {even ''Manuel'' would of been ashamed} but they even bettered that show by trying to fine me for their error. The Agent i rented from had to put them straight, and admitted she was ashamed by their antics....i know my fault as after this i check and double check, and then just one more time.... to them it does not matter as the Farang has to pay ...

looked at this and wondered then spotted Newbie ? sort of said enough,
