A question:

 

Is it possible to have a bank app (any app) on your smartphone but use the app on your note book screen? 

 

Hopefully that's possible which would mean that if a bank cancels it's 'internet banking' and the customer has the bank app then the transaction could  be done on the customers notebook screen (or any monitor).

 

 

No, you can use the SCB App only on a phone and also only on one phone, not two. I had this problem when the stopped website access. I think it is time to make SCB understand that their services have become very bad and move to another bank.

Hi, I rang scb and since there were no English speakers staff available I left my number for thrn to call me bsck. Apparently if you need to transfer an amount over 49,999 or 200,000 (per day) baht you need to ring them before you do it. They will then activate the exemption within 10 minutes then inform you by msg or scb app. You will then have only 1 hour to transfer the funds thrn the exemption gets deactivated. 

 

A lonely operator explained all in perfect English and she also mentioned that they are working on a permanent solution /implementation of the system /for the face recognition for foreigners to be same as Thais 👍

They should develop the face recognition BEFORE changing the rules. I do not want to ask the bank for permission if I want to make a larger transaction. I consider this very bad customer service and bad management and will move my money to a bank that enables me to do what I want to do.

UOB has a limit of 50,000 Baht. I am customer there

But you can change the limit to more than 50.000 per transaction, right?

Just now, Ani Koras said:

The transfer over 50.000 is indeed possible after you provide your face ID. The first installation can be done in person at a bank counter. However you might have to provide them again with all your paper, visa, TM30, certificate of residence etc.

No, it is no longer possible after 12.06.2025, just call them and check 02 777 7777.

This is their base limit for all accounts. But do you realise that you can change your daily transaction limits yourself (either as a 'one time' payment or forever in some of the the Bank apps. I do it regularly my for BBL and Kasikorn accounts.

No, I had already changed everything limits long time ago and I could transfer much more per day (500.000) using my SCB App. But this will not be possible anylonger after 12.06. without requesting their permission!

Changes go in effect from Monday 

Actually it will start on 12.06.2025. I checked with SCB and they confirmed that foreigners will have to contact SCB and request their permission if they want to transfer more of their own money from their own account! After using SCB for 20 years, I will move to UOB. They do not have this limit.

I am living in Thailand for more than 20 years and have a bank account with SCB. Now I am informed that after 12.06.2025 I will not be able to transfer more than 50.000 THB per day with my mobile App due to new regulations. Is that the same with all banks in Thailand now? Having an account in my name, but being no longer able to do transaction as I want?

Really ?

https://anfenglish.com/news/germany-deports-spanish-activist-citing-a-link-with-the-kurds-56491

Did you read the article you cite? First it is not about somebody doing a peaceful protest, it cites links to an organization or movement that is considered illegal. I do not even agree with it and I think it was totally wrong for the German Government to do so, maybe they wanted to appease this clown Erdogan. However, the article says that it is the very first time and it had never happened before that Germany did something like this. And again, show me reports that foreigners who peacefully and without any offensive or aggressive actions voice their political views, would be deported and blacklisted.

The majority of us probably agree with his political opinions. 

 

BUT! Thailand is not his (or my) country. We're just guests who can't vote. Our opinion is meaningless to Thais, in the same way that a non citizen Thai's opinion of German politics is meaningless to Germans.

 

No sympathy for him if his visa isn't extended. 

There is a big difference, though. In Germany, as should be the case in any real democracy, even foreigners would be allowed to voice their opinion and conduct peaceful protests that do not involve aggressive means or offensive statements, without being threatened to be thrown out of the country. If Thai officials feel that they have to take such steps, it shows that there might be something wrong here with the right to voice peacefully your opinion.

As well as the Banglamung Hospital ones mentioned above (I got mine at the sports stadium in December last year) there has also been sessions at Central Festival and Royal Garden Plaza, although I'm not sure which hospital administered these.  I believe the Royal Garden Plaza one is still going, although perhaps at a lower frequency than initially.

Those were for the first 2 shots and they were actually offered for free, because one needs to vaccinate all or a large enough number of the residents in Thailand (including forigners!) in order to disrupt the transmission.

Just had a Pfizer booster at my local hospital. Walked up to reception, showed my vaccination cert proving six months from second Pfizer jab and was injected 5 minutes later. Excellent service.

 

Where was that?

Seems booster shots availability depends on each province.

My staff who had Sinofarm shots last year just being arrange to had booster recently.

They were not from Bangkok but nearby provinces.

 

Btw, is there any law stated that Thai government must responsible for booster shots of foreigners in Thailand???

Many hospitals offering Moderna at 1650 baht which can take it as booster.

If really so eager to get booster, why don't pay for it???

 

"If really so eager to get booster, why don't pay for it???"

Is that your answer? The point is about not having a strategy to roll out boosters. They even asked a few days all "elderly" to be boostered before Songkran. Every person who get infected with Covid-19 can infect others and thus help spreading the disease. This applies to everybody, including foreigners. I still have found no information about any boosters to be provided in Pattaya, including for Thais (such as my wife).

After the Government was far behind with managing the first 2 shots for Thais and Foreigners in 2021, it seems that they again have no clear strategy to ensure that all get boostered. I have not seen any information where in Pattaya (free) boosters are available for Foreigners. When I called BPH they informed me that they just had finished a round of boostering. Although they gave me the first 2 shots and I am using BPH for more than 10 years, they could not be bothered to inform me about the availability of booster shots, but happily offered to sell me Moderna. Has anybody information when and where in Pattaya boosters might be available again?

Strategy?  What strategy? They were way behind last year to get enough vaccines for the first shots and now they also seem to have no clear plan to roll out boosters.

There are huge crowds seemingly everyday. I went at 09:20 today to get a certificate of residence, but the crowd waiting outside was too big for me to stomach.

I think they were scammed, because they are foreigners. More than 10 family members of my wife in Bangkok tested positive for COVID ~6 months ago and they were all placed in hotels for isolation. So, if they had already booked a room in the right hotel, why were they not allowed to spend the isolation period there, unless the son had more serious symptoms?

Excuse me, jus one SMALL correction: 1st generation vaccines, regardless of their efficacy or lack thereof against delta, are ALL effective (in the high 90 %) in preventing death and hospitalization. Whether it is AZ or Sinovac, after you've got that, if delta or whatever other variants gets you (under the surface it's still good old Sars-cov2 virus) what you will have is a "mild flu" (instead of "wuflu.") You can recuperate in the comfort of your home, instead of having a tube shoved down your chest and lying in a bed (if you are lucky) in the ICU.

 

To those having their hair on fire whenever the word "Delta" is spoken: A variant is like a mask/maneuver that the virus puts on in order to evade the vaccine-induced antibodies. Some variant is better at doing its job vs some vaccines (and the antibodies that they triggered) are better at doing their job.  So restart your argument from there.

Really? Go and ask the hundreds of medical workers in Thailand (and also in other countries, e.g. Indonesia) who got infected after being fully vaccinated with Sinovac and many of them did not only get a mild infection. And tell those who even died that they could have recuperated in the comfort of their home!

So criticize the government all you want for their incompetence. What does that change?

OMG, so what are you saying? Unless whatever somebody is posting will have an impact on the government and will change things, he/she should just keep it for her/himself and don't say anything? Everything that you are saying is effecting changes?

So whatever the gent may have done wrong or insufficient in the past, why not just sit back and let him do his job as best he can now. Because it is HIS job, not yours.

What nonsense. Just sit back and never criticize anybody or anything, regardless how stupid and messed up. They have completely mismanaged the vaccine procurement and the whole pandemic response management this year and you just say, never mind, just let him continue doing (failing) his job? He has proven that they are not up to the job and it is high time for changes to take place, but this will not be possible unless there will be another coup.
