Check fees via Dee Money against your bank transfer fees, sorry, not sure if there are other options.

This guy is in Thailand. I told him to find a Thai account to send the money, but he refused and only wise. But, as you wrote, cannot be done. Thank you

You're trying to send money from Thailand from a Thai bank? If so, you can't (using Wise).

 

Correct: from my Thai account to a US bank.

Try to send few THB to an abroad bank, but when set up the transfer, the bank is not listed. Anyone knows how to do it, as I never used wise? Thank you.

Was the name close and understandable to associate it with the correct branch code and the correct account number given by you. 

 

I only saying because one of my Bank accounts has the account in my full name in capital letters and I received money with they just putting Mr. Surname.

What I not understand: with a bank transfer, even a missing H will not let you transfer the money. With wise, given the right bank and account number, but a totally different name and surname, the transfer will be successful? Thank you.

Anything is possible. It is also possible for Wise to block your account and hold all the money due to this mistake.

The receiver account or mine?

But is it possible that if i  incorrectly write the name of the account holder who is to receive the money, the amount sent arrives anyway, using wise? Thank you.

Redmi 10 note 10. 5,300 THB. I always was a Samsung guy, but after I discovered the Redmi (9 first and 10 later) I change and stay with it.

Can a 15 years old boy change USD to Thai bath?

If you are in touch with AsiaOne Teckhong funeral and cremation, I used it and it's a good company.

In Bangkok now. When went to buy the ticket the first available bus was full and waited the second one. Still a lot of people.

When do you plan to travel?

Direction to Bangkok should relax quickly.

 

 

Tomorrow afternoon 

Did anyone travelled by bus from Pattaya to Mo Chit yesterday or today? Are the crowded or no problem to catch one? I scare i can't find a bus to go there as we are still into the New Year celebrations. Thank you

You might experience lanes reserved for oncoming traffic. Blocked intersections, right turns prohibited (forcing to go to a U-turn and creep back).

But that's just some experience from years before. Might not happen on your route as Surin is not on the main stream.

I drove down to Korat, left turn to Khao Yai. Now stop in Kabinburi for some food. Totally full, coming to Isan, few cars go down to Bangkok.

Is Google Lens a character recognition app? That would be very handy.

When I bought the phone, Google lens was already there. When you open an image in your gallery, you should see Google lens option

I do the contrary today: Surin to Bangkok. Hope there will be not too much traffic on the way down.

Report a 4000 THB scam to local police will lead to get the money back or it's just a waste of time? Thank you

Did he get booking confirm? invoice? of course he should of paid at least deposit up front, hopefully he learns for next time

No money involved at all. What I know it is what he told me: find this guy on social media, speak and agree for the place and pick up. But nothing happened.

Same happened to me in Cambodia after using Booking.com.

Complained and got 3kbht discount towards my hotel.

Just a bit inconvenient.

This was, for him, a deal through IG or some other social. No booking platform involved. I think it's useless for him to report what happened at police as there are no money involved.

Forget and move on.

This friend wanna make a report to the police, but I told him that it's useless as he did not pay nothing to the "owner". Am I right?

Someone ask me what to do, but I no have any answer, so I ask here:

Friend of mine booked an apartment for him, wife and two kids. Talk through some applications with the owner (as told me) agreed for the place and also for pick up at the airport. When arrive noone was there and no apartment. Now they are in hotel waiting to find a room. They did not pay nothing: they can do something or it's just a bad story to forget quickly? Thank you.

As long as they are contributing to the Thai economy and being respectable to everyone and behaving themselves why should anyone bother.

I agree: this guy is well respected in the community he lives and help local with food and money sometimes.

All they are interested in is money especially if you have a white face, treatment comes second, same applies to government hospitals, although there will be a few exceptions.

I went twice in two different government hospitals, one in Phuket and one in Chiang Mai. Both time they make me a "local card" for 30 thb. But they no ask nothing more. Maybe cause it was just a daily hospital treatment.

A German friend of mine was caught on overstay a couple of years back. He was unfortunate to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, and was initially charged with working without a permit. However, it transpired that his passport had expired 5 years previously. He did not renew it as he was apparently wanted in Germany on fraud charges.

Same story with a mutual friend: back few years he was working for a new resort in Surin and the owner <deleted> off someone: this guy called the IO and they catch him without a work permit and, once at IO, they found he was also in, I think, 9 months overstay. But....few hours and walk out the office. Now back to his country.

Get Pzifer. Three jabs done.
