You get really boring if you gonna deny what is posted first line of the OP

Seems so, because after 2 pages in this threadm, you're yet the only one who doesn't see them

Guess the OP is desperate since now he has to go knock on doors to show what he has for dinner 😅

It isn't a fake report, when something is at all time low, the only way is up.

Servers in Singapore should not cause any buffering, because every Thai ISP has a direct connection to Singapore, which is the hub for all submarine cables to Europe. Most IPTV services have their servers in Europe, and they don't buffer.

And you paid 10K a month, right?

Depends on the method you choose to transfer the money. As I explained already, if I select credit or debit card, it is with Wise instantly. If I select bank transfer, it isn't instant, and my bank also doesn't make a secret of that. All transfers done by my bank take up to 48 hours to be executed and there are no transfers during the weekends. I have no problem with that, since my bank informed me, and in return for that I get a higher interest as other banks and no monthly maintenance fee on my accounts. In other banks it would cost me 50 euros per year just to maintain a basic account, which I rarely use since I live in Thailand I'm sure there are other banks, but not all, that work with the same principle.

This is definitely not what I noticed. Yes there has been slow growth in the last 10 years, but after 1998 the economy was booming

Maybe for the same reason you have chosen Thailand

Sounds more as if the only geriatric in the building was you. First of all, retirement extensions are also done in the same main building, as are a load of other things. Did you ask everyone what they were there for and see their documents? Secondly, did you know there are also tourists older than 50, and why would they be forced to have a retirement visa? And how long are you gaming the system with extensions on your tourist visa, while you are not a real tourist?

Looks like a lot of brain-dead people in this thread. The only thing I have posted so far in this thread is that the time to get your money from your local bank account to Wise, depends on your local bank, and every post get a confused emoji. What is so difficult to understand about that?

When you have money on your Wise card already, they obviously don't need to wait for the money to arrive from your local bank.

Neither is it your business to criticize people who don't need holding hands

I hope you live up to that promise

Which part of, the time it takes to transfer your money from your bank to your Wise account depends on your local bank, is it that you don't understand?

The only one with an issue is you, maybe because your limited brain function, since in another thread you are also twisting my words and posting confused emoji's to my post

I was talking about the time it takes to get your money from your personal account to the Wise account. Wise has a license in every country it operates, as it does in my home country. If I select bank transfer, it takes 48 hours, and longer in the weekends, for the money from my bank to reach the Wise account in my homecountry. After that it may taken another 24 hours to reach my account in Thailand. If I select credit or debit card transfer, the whole process takes less than a minute

And you should know that this procedure is illegal

When was the last time you applied for an extension, since you can't get a visa within Thailand, as you falsely claim. There have been several reports on this forum over the past few months, from people who use an agent, that now they have to accompany the agent to the immigration office for a picture, and even Lou confirmed this

This is not about Pattaya expats, it is my experience for years already. You're grasping at straws to make your point, similar to when there is a thread about the usefulness of a yellow book

As well as the method you use to transfer the money to Wise. If you use the cheapest option, which is transfer from your bank account. it depends on your local bank. I know my local bank takes up to 48 hours, and longer during weekends, to execute a money transfer

So this was fake news?

It has always worked, your post was after I already posted I used the appointment system last year. Your claim was then that it may have worked in the past, but not anymore. Now you reverse your comments The appointment system works perfect, you get an instant email confirmation, and a reminder email the day before the appointment. Nothing to do with bowling in

Only people like you would count the days it take to process, as that time is always required, even when using an agent. My point is that many, and particular you, have claimed that appointments are not possible at jomtien, and you are required to queue up

Oh yes there are, and quite a few have been the subject of a thread in the news forum already. Using an agent without having the funds in the bank is definitely illegal.
