But it is the choice of this government and not necessarily that of the Thai people. Easy to say, but not so easy to do. Of course the invader, Putin, could admit that he has lost, surrender, and pull out from ALL Russian occupied Ukraine including the Crimea, Donbass etc and pay reparations. It could happen but NOT under Putin.

So you do you think that it is OK for him to torture and then murder the girl, yet not be punished in the same way himself?

I agree with you, but with Wise I get a better forex rate than KBank, I know before I transfer exactly the forex rate I will get, the exact amount to the satang, the day and time it will arrive at BBK bank. With KBank transfers I only knew roughly which week it would turn up, how much I would get and I would be reliant on the time and day of KBank forex.

It does to me. I transfer the funds for living in Thailand and it shows up as an FTT on my bankbook and statement proving that the funds came from offshore. I could do the same with KBank but then I would have to get the head office to send me 37 separate conformations of payment per year. Try to remember what works for one person does no always work for everybody. I made a small spreadsheet that tells me when I get paid by Wise n the UK, when it is due in Thailand, adjustable for bank holidays, how much I transfer and the forex rate given. It makes MY life easy. Why do you care? it works for me. Why?

It must be wonderful to sit anonymously behind a keyboard, and speak on behalf of millions of people and to say what YOU think that they should be saying. Especially when you have NO idea of their thoughts and feelings. Even more so, when you don't even KNOW millions of Americans. I am a Brit and of the 70 million Brits i would be hard pushed to be able to name, and thus know more than about 350 people personally. Nor would i have the temerity to speak for them.

I live in Thailand so I do mine in Thai time. I generally get notified in the afternoons and transfer from Wise then. Any transfer I make on a Friday does not arrive until Monday about 2 pm. Unfortunately my state pension always arrivers every 4th Friday,

But can you do an international transfer when the Thai banks are closed?

I have a Wise Borderless account and I transferred GBP 730 at 5; 15 pm this evening. by the time that I had completed the paperwork which took me 3 or 4 minutes, Wise told me that it would be in my BBK account at 2;13 on Monday. Thai banks are closed at the weekends and Thai public and today is a public holiday. ;

Did you?

Thank you Joe, At the moment even if i put a big X I don't think anyone would recognise it. My are going up to Immi on Tuesday to see what they can offer.

I am due a marriage visa extension in the next 10 days. I am 78 and I slipped on some water soaked concrete on Monday and cracked my right elbow and bashed my ribs, I have done about half the application but the worst part is that I am right handed and I am now reduced to typing with one finger left handed. Do you think that Immigration will give me 2 week extension as I cannot sign my signature left handed. My wife called them today but they were closed for the holiday.

Exactly. Strange that Facebook is NOT a terrorist organisation in the west, or closer to home, not even in Thailand. Does that mean that only Russia is correct and the rest of he world, except China is wrong?

What is the most important thing in forex trading ? Start up money. What is the thread about? Thais not being able to make ends meet.

And people on this forum whine about Thaksin Shinawatra, ????

Really? Better than the army who made a coup against him and yet another coup against his sister?

Have you thought about how those countries became members of the Warsaw Pact originally? A clue would be that Russia invaded and annexed those countries during the course of WW2. When the Warsaw Pact finally collapsed those countries were free to choose their own course, and there was NO Russian military stationed in the country any more to force them to toe the Russian line. Please tell us all how, in your opinion, NATO inched its way towards the east. Did NATO knock on the doors of each former Warsaw pact country and threaten to invade them unless they joined NATO. Perhaps each of the countries individually approached NATO and asked to join NATO? https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natolive/topics_49212.htm#:~:text=NATO's “open door policy” is,a say in such deliberations. NATO’s “open door policy” is based on Article 10 of its founding treaty. Any decision to invite a country to join the Alliance is taken by the North Atlantic Council on the basis of consensus among all Allies. No third country has a say in such deliberations. NATO’s ongoing enlargement process poses no threat to any country. It is aimed at promoting stability and cooperation, at building a Europe whole and free, united in peace, democracy and common values.

I know that feeling very well. My state pension is about 28% and will die with me. However my wife will get a % of my military pension and a % of my company pensions until she dies. After that my son gets the lot but the pensions die with my wife.

Could you please send it anyway.????

To me it does. If it is his personal money it means that he really cares. If it is government money, to me he is simply saving face.

I have a better chance of getting one using my KBank debit card. I must admit I am a few million USD short of the target price but I am sure that a Go Fund Me account may help. ????

Was the check in his personal name or was it simply a government check that all taxpayers kicked in for?

Yingluck Shinawatra, the last freely elected PM of Thailand was also Minister of Defence. To be fair to her, she probably knew as much about being Minister of Defence as the current one does. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yingluck_ After mass protests against her government in late 2013, she asked for a dissolution of parliament on 9 December 2013, triggering a snap election, but continued to act as caretaker prime minister.[9] On 7 May 2014, the Constitutional Court of Thailand removed Yingluck Shinawatra from the office of caretaker prime minister and defence minister following months of political crisis. The court found her guilty of charges of abuse of power over the removal of national security chief Thawil Pliensri in 2011.[10] In the wake of the May 2014 military coup, Yingluck was arrested along with former cabinet ministers and political leaders of all parties and held at an army camp for a few days while the coup was consolidated.

And how many hundreds of thousands of lives did they save? In addition it was a world war and 77 years ago. During that war the Germans were also attempting to make an atom bomb. Do you think that they would not have used it?

Try Britishop which is online and I think based in Pattaya.

IMHO he is/was a far better and more honest than ANYBODY from a military coup and far more trustworthy, as shown by the current lot and all the ones that have come along since 1932.
