TBH

Much of this puzzles me. Why are you all doing backflips to validate this neutered pared down parody of a PayPal account?

Looks like less than 240kgs to me on that table

Never heard of the country's nom de plume the L.O.S. (Land Of Smiles Snitches) ?

Really... the most idiotic, insecure thing you could do!

Chief Robroo conferred his delight on this success saying every time they'd previously tried to capture these machines they always slipped through their fingers at the last moment.

He asked them to remove the lock, but leave the swelling.

Got an email today and a notification on my Thai PayPal account asking me to confirm my identity, uploading my passport, confirming my address and to upload a bank statement.

Have you already done the "Review and accept PayPal Thailand Relaunch Agreements" ?

Is yours a Business or a Personal PayPal Account?

I ask as mine's a personal one and TBH I intend using it until the relaunch deadline then closing it. I've deliberately not done the 'accept the agreements' and all that I've had so far is the email inviting me to do so (11.11.21) and a repeat of the same email received today.

Rather you need to grasp the context of what I said

Insurance of course can well be useful and fit for purpose and in general terms it is.

Whereas the packaged nonsense peddled at 'shop front' franchise type bank branches offers little in actual value, and is in real terms little more than a joke.

If it wasn't then it wouldn't need the metaphorical headlock (we'll do that only if you buy this p.o.s.) as the only means to extort a sale.

What is "puerile" [sic] about insurance policies?   They're not trivial, or childish, some people find them specifically useful.

For example the policies foisted on the unwitting myopics opening accounts (to fulfil branch sales targets) fully deserve the epithet

Nice will check them out.

Yes I've had several accounts here over the years -always straight forward to deal with and have the aura of a 'head office'

It's important to note that you have to view many small branches as 'franchises' often very parochial in their outlook and often focused on hawking puerile insurances and chasing other customer alienating targets - whereas the big branches like this one are more 'straight from the horses mouth' and do 'exactly what it says on the tin' 

The drive in internal car parking is a big plus too

And all the extended opening 'mall' branches are available for use as an account holder anyhoo

An insurance broker told me this isn't a problem now, they are not doing it. They will not quarantine a whole plane load of passengers for one positive test. Whether true or not I can't say. 

If so insurers will be falling over themselves to sell cover for it

The septic however is obviously new to the territory, very poor pointing technique

Why dont TAT diversify and tout on-line lottery numbers predictions

publish one of those guide books that translate subjects from dreams (trees, crocodiles, snakes etc) into lucky lottery numbers  tourist arrival numbers

At Bangkok bank when I went in to get my mastercard debit card unblocked (they blocked cards recently due to fraud), they suggested I open a second savings account (with no atm card) to hold the bulk of my funds. I now use my first account for payments/withdrawals and keep a balance below 150k.. There was no charge. I added the second account to the mobile app so I can make transfers if I needed. Given the risks of fraud etc readers may consider reducing their exposure via this method.

I've been doing this for absolutely years with all my Thai bank accounts.

Surprised there are still folks out there that don't.

Like the earlier poster I have all such items encrypted on my pc

on checking my HSBC stuff I too have the Telephone Banking Security Password (indeed derived from an old phone #) Set up some two decades or so ago & never used

Can see now how lack of retention of these old & seemingly irrelevant items can rear up to bite as you fall down the likes of the OP's rabbit hole clutching for roots and vines to grab on to.

Corvid needs to be highlighted in the policy? What for?

because crows, jackdaws, rooks, ravens, jays, magpies, treepies, choughs, and nutcrackers need the recognition

What's the advantage of changing the date in the book instead of just writing a new journey in? It sounds like it's only a few bits of information. Am I underestimating it?

 

 

Its all about the plates and book roll on to the next new vehicle that the dealership attaches them to.

Fill up the book and they have an issue.

Withholding the book saves them the bother, or the pencil/eraser routine runs a close second.

Anecdotally though from my experience its all a bit over hyped only Brownshirt interface I had was one that stepped out from the roadside stop (milking wages from helmetless motorcy folk) to salute me and my shiny new pickup ????

Give it a week or so and you'll likely as not be able to get these signs COD from Lazada

TBH I learned many, many trips ago that the best modus operandi was always to depart with a sufficient clutch of baht to start the ball rolling next time without any of these concerns.
