  1. It's not just condos. There was a mooban party house on my former estate with weekend revellers disturbing the peace until early morning.
  2. 'sorry to hear all your issues, but your 82yrs of age, you can get in house hospice care to assist you daily. There are companies that provide 24/7 care for you, let me know if you want some contacts.' I was responding to the above post. Nowhere did I write that I was infirm or ill. The poster has contacts for 'hospice care'. He was helping himself not me, possibly on a commission basis. I was not being unpleasant but boastful of being able to run 500 metres in under 3.5 minutes. I always thank any poster who offers constructive advice.
  3. 12 posts down on page 1.
  4. It is on my mind; my Visa requires 800K be in an account for some months before renewal in early May.
  5. Very true. But a succession of poor experiences is making me look fondly at Spain.
  6. Pongori from Decathlon.
  7. Sounds true to me: lack of police interest; Douglas reported the incident to Pattaya police but faced a disappointing response, with officials expressing scepticism about taking significant action. Investigations did uncover CCTV footage showing Douglas being escorted on a motorbike after the assault. However, claims by one of the women about visiting a nearby 7-Eleven were unverified, as the store agreed to share footage only with authorities. The victim's attempts to gather evidence, including consulting a lawyer and approaching police for further help, were met with challenges. Staff at the bar, seemingly reluctant to cooperate, echoed concerns over the incident reflecting badly on the establishment. What would he have to gain with a false story; why would he hire a lawyer if the story wasn't true?
  8. See my experience of K bank above.
  9. Is this a joke? I challenge you to accompany me to a gym & complete my four times a week regime or play table tennis against me (tho' I do not have a vacant day as I play 3 times a week against opponents 17 years my junior.)
  10. Not the Sri Monkol bus I suffered on for 9 hours; the rear of the vehicle is intact.
  11. What's Kan got, that can make police get off their bottoms?
  12. Been there; extorted; falsely charged. A den of iniquity.
  13. It's near the end of the month so now the employer doesn't have to pay their wages. He merely hires a new batch then informs the police towards the end of April.
  14. Wow! Which bank & how important was your account?
  15. Is this meant to be humorous?
  16. Then nothing changes. Only protests create change.
  17. Yes, I am a Brit. Is there a language problem?
  18. Just back from my appointment at 2nd Road branch. I was seen to immediately by a young man with good English. I presented him with a number of letters (translated into Thai) by the helpful Head office. He brought up my account and could find no reason why I had been summoned. He accompanied me to the bank's ATM machine to prove that my card was working. (yesterday when attempting to use it I was informed 'Insufficient Data problem' and denied funds.) Luckily the Kasikorn machine next door had no problem! He could not answer what he had done when bringing up my account that made everything right. He assured me it was nothing I had done wrongly. He expressed surprise that I was dissatisfied at having to make two trips to two branches at my own expense in terms of time and petrol.
  19. I will when I get there! I have been in communication with - Website : Inquiry - Branch Services. Their service has been excellent: almost immediate responses in exemplary English (AI?). They have promised me an appointment with a manager, tomorrow at 11am. This to be confirmed by 2nd Road branch. Still waiting after nearly a week's worth of correspondence.
  20. I was a Treasurer for a Mooban Juristic account. Every month (for 5 years) I went to cash a cheque for staff wages, (security, office manager, garbage clean-up.) Every time I was greeted as a suspected terrorist. Because I never knew the Thai year, I would ask the cashier to put it in. Occasionally she wrote it on a piece of paper for me to copy. One time she wrote it incorrectly reversing the date & month. I duly copied it & represented it. Then she said 'you make mistake - you need a new cheque.' After waiting over an hour, the thought of undertaking a 30 kms round trip to get a new cheque because of her mistake pissed me off. I called the manager; explained the problem & asked her to witness my altering the date in her presence. 'Cannot'. I pointed out I would close our account (nearly 2 million) if she treated me this way. She shrugged her shoulders so we became Ex-Kasikorn members.
  21. True, but as I said before, I received a summons when accessing my account on line. My only annual visit to a bank is for a letter to Immigration.
