  1. Okay, I checked and here's what it would cost me to send 500 GBP via Wise. 1. Debit Card: 7.38 GBP fee. Maybe another fee idk. 2. Bank Account: 4.12 GBP fee. This would give Plaid access to bank account info.
  2. How much would it cost to send 500 GBP?
  3. I checked, you're right to get $500 from the U.S. it costs: 1. Approx 15 USD via Debit Card. 2. Approx 6 USD via Wise.
  4. I think I'm going to do the same, there isn't really much price difference between Wise and Debit Card anymore.
  5. Yes I'm trying to send money from my U.S. bank to Bangkok Bank. I try to bypass the Plaid option but there's no way around it. I did a little more digging and you can register an account on plaid.com to see what information they're getting from you..with the option to shut any account plaid is accessing. I don't know if I'm going to use Wise anymore or not, this is just too intrusive.
  6. I apologize in advance if this has been brought up before. However, today I tried to use Wise and right before I press the last button it says I need to approve "Plaid" to reconnect my bank account. This is the first time this has come up and I've been using Wise every month for 2 years. I did a quick google search and if I approve Plaid it allows them to extract information from my account. Anyway, just curious as to what your experience has been. Did this happen to you? Does this keep you from using Wise anymore?
  7. Obesity and Morbid Obesity are a world wide problem. No, not a problem but an epidemic. No, sorry not an epidemic but a gd apocalypse! I left S. Korea in 2011 and for the most part Koreans were downright slim. Now almost every Korean I see is morbidly obese. For the first time in human history the average life expectancy is going down. It's not uncommon for people in their 30's and 40's to die of obesity related illness.
  8. Hello, I noticed my 2021 HS TomTom Navigation now provides traffic info. I don't think this feature worked when I bought it. Anyone else notice this? I wonder if they updated my navigation during my most recent service or maybe they push the update over the air?
  9. The folks here with money love it here and they are just like anyone with money..they won't spend it unless they get a deal. I see them give 20 baht tips all the time, and you see the wheels turning in their head that they should've tipped only 10 baht.
  10. a flat bench with dumbbells is leaps and bounds better than any treadmill.
  11. I think only the crazies (like what happened in the Capitol riot) will come out again. American's are not organized enough to do any real damage. Plus, they're divided over many, many issues you kinda need more than an 80 year old obese rich golfer to fight over. There's probably less than 500 loonies(with horns, painted faces, fur coonskin caps)that will lash out when Trump loses. The only way to organize American's into fighting/rioting en masse' will be when they are so downtrodden they simply have no other choice, probably about 5 or 10 years away.
  12. It's either AC/DC's Thunderstruck or every song on Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon.
  13. I'm NOT going to lie this weak dollar vs. the baht really s_cks donkey conk. I'm eliminating any major purchases for the time being. I was going to buy that new iPhone 16 but no way that's happening. and that new Honda CRV? forget it. My friend says the baht is always strong during low season, maybe it's a way to squeak by idk.
  14. Asquith Production wrote: Is it for sale? Unfortunately not, it's just going to sit outside and become weathered by the sun. It's either the Rail 9.8 or 9.9, probably the 9.8 which costs €8,200 brand new. The 9.9 cost €10,100 brand new. He paid approx €5,400 for his slightly used Trek Rail.
  15. My neighbor left his e-bike in Germany then came over here and decided he wanted an e-bike here. He went to Cadence in Jomtien and bought a very nice Trek e-bike(Rail 9.9?) for 200,000 baht. It was slightly used but you can't tell as it looks brand new. I believe it sells for over 400,000 baht new so he got a great deal. I was not a believer in e-bikes until he let me ride it and My God! it's by far the best bike I ever rode. He has all sorts of toys so he never rides it just sits in the parking lot near his high end scooters..it drives me mad!
