Yes.
One example, last Saturday, it took seconds to appear in K Bank. Ser attached.
Good for you.
What wise code did you use, as some go through faster than others.
"Funds for long term stay in Thailand" normally take 24 hours except during bank holidays.
I am saving the KBank stuff for after my death when the funds can go straight into my wife's bank account at KBank.
At this time, my pensions go to BKK bank to keep Immigration happy with my marriage income visa.

Both my wife and I usually pay in cash except for the monthly bills and transferring funds to our son who is at Chiang Rai University, some 500km away.

After the bulk of the crap is cleared away, a mop in very hot water and Dettol clears the rest and the smell away.
The drawback is the lingering smell of Dettol.
However, that is still a better smell than the crap that was there before it.

I have successfully transferred WISE to Kasikorn at weekends
But did it actually arrive at your personal account at the weekend.
If I transfer from my Wise account in the UK, using my Wise borderless account and the "funds for long stay in Thailand" code to my Thai BKK Bank account, the funds will not arrive until Monday afternoon until after 2pm, or the next banking open day.

So why doesn't he want to do another debate with Kamala Harris? On CNN and both of them to be fact checked.
Tell the truth and you won't be fact checked, tell a lie or give false information and you will be fact checked.
That applies to both sides.
That is probably why Trump does not want the debate, especially as he will have no choice in the debate host and whether fact checkers will be doing their job.
You can fool all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time. A quote reputedly from a US President, Abraham Lincoln, now long dead.
He was the first US President from the Republican party.
That is what Trump and Vance, along with the gop are trying to do.

The exceptions are if the bank is closed for a bank or public holiday, when it will arrive on the next bank working day.
Aren't these transactions automated?
Yes they are, BUT they stop at the main office, and as no people wprk at the weekend, the bank computer takes the weekend off as well.

It seems to be confined to lithium batteries, and normal lead acid batteries seem to be unaffected in the same way.

If you've live in KP for 20 years, you should know full well so many incidents of domestic / sexual abuse are not reported.
Links of proof - wise up.
So if so many incidents of domestic / sexual abuse are not reported, how do YOU know that they happened?

Having the government give away money only makes society dependent on it and not take responsibility for their own welfare. Such is the case of the Democrats in the U.S. with their socialist, globalist polices making the U.S. less competitive to other countries.
What has the Democrats in the USA got to do with the topic at hand?

Links, proof?? how about living in rural thailand for over 15 years ( several locations ), good enough?
Are you a policeman?
How about living in rural Thailand for over 20 years in Kamphaeng Phet province in a small Thai Moo Ban.
Not a policeman but you are claiming without backing up. How many Thai people do you you actually know of who are nothing but savages? There are stories all the time like this but nobody actually claims to know that it happened to somebody they know.
IF it happened it was always to somebody else's wife, mother, cousin of a friend etc. That is the trouble with a story, which is all a story is.
Hence my question for links and proof. Anyone can repeat a story, but very few people know it first hand,

No it's not.
So where are your links and proof?
Have you been to all the small villages and Thai moo bans in rural Thailand?
Of course it happens in some places, in just the same way that it happens in other countries as well.

Oh dear Georgealbert, this is very sad news for the poor fisherman. I like fishing, but you should never fish near overhead powerlines.
But Georgealbert, I don't believe he was electrocuted by the lead weight ( sinker ) .... he was only electrocuted by his aluminium rod touching the wires which were approximately 5m above.
Fishing line cannot carry current, so he must have touched the wires with his fishing rod, and it's got nothing to do with the lead weight he used ( sinker ) as it is normally quite small in length.
I agree and I always thought that the fishing line was nylon and an insulator. I also though that fishing rods were fibreglass and an insulator.
It seems that I was wrong on both counts.

The advantage of telling the truth every time is that you only have to remember the truth.
The disadvantage in telling lies, is that you have to remember which lie you told to whom and when you told it, and you can't afford to change that lie because there are always people who will quote your previous lie at you.
Of course if you are Trump or Vance you simply go ahead with your new lie anyway and simply ignore the consequences. Millions of people will believe the new lie and ignore the old one.
There are posters here on AN that do that regularly.

Perhaps now would be a good time to re-introduce the old fashioned stocks in an area, where all sorts of really rotten food could be thrown at the protestors. 10 hours a day for a month could do as a starter with no time off for a change of clothes or a shower.
Let them see what it is like for a change to have filth thrown at them.
quote from the OP.
"“Future generations will regard these prisoners of conscience as being on the right side of history.”
They are NOT prisoners of conscience, but prisoners of stupidity, their own stupidity.

Starmer is a Tory mole inserted into the Labour party in order to destroy in from within by eliminating the left wing completely and either ensure the Tory's win the next election or carry on with more Tory policies so that nothing changes and the establishment parasites and elites can continue sucking the blood out of the country.
Nothing changes they're all lying parasitic self serving entitled frauds serving only themselves.
Nothing to back up your claim as usual.
Why don't YOU stand for election in the UK in any political party you want. Then, if you get elected you will have first hand knowledge of what is happening in UK politics.

Some added useful context from the BBC:
"Of the 1.5 million apprehensions of people crossing the border illegally so far this financial year - and where Border Patrol was able to check against law enforcement databases - about 15,608 were of people with previous criminal convictions.
The most common conviction was for illegal entry into another country (9,545), followed by driving under the influence (2,577), and drug possession and trafficking offences (1,414)."
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0jp4xqx2z3o
By my math, that works out to about a 1% rate of prior criminal convictions based on the above numbers, with the largest number being illegal entry into another country.
Not quite the immigrant crime wave Trump and related Republicans are trying to gin up.....
Meanwhile, as for Trump's bogus claims:
"He [Trump] has repeatedly criticised the government's record on the border, saying "Kamala Harris has allowed 21 million illegals to pour in from all over the world."
...
These encounters have risen to record highs under the Biden administration but not to the level Trump - who has not provided a source for his claim - maintains." [emphasis added].
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0jp4xqx2z3o
The guy just makes stuff up as he goes along, and rarely seems to have any basis in facts or reality.
The truth and Trump are complete strangers and AFAIK they have never met.

Trump to remove legal immigrants.
in Political Soapbox
Posted
Do you know ANYTHING about the Haitians in Springfield, Ohio?
They are LEGAL immigrants and NOT illegal.
If you believe Trump and his constant lies, along with Vance and HIS constant lies, that would make you as dumb as both of them.
The Democrats ARE removing illegal immigrants, try using the search facilities of the internet, such as this link. And there are many more that you will refuse to believe either.
After all Trump and Vance would never tell a lie, would they?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deportation_and_removal_from_the_United_States#:~:text=The first deportations from the,law which permitted such deportations.
Then look up the 20th and 21st centuries within the link.
During Donald Trump’s presidency the number of undocumented immigrants deported decreased drastically.[21] While under Trump's presidency, U.S. Immigration Customs Enforcement has conducted hundreds of raids in workspaces and sent removal orders to families, they are not deporting as many immigrants as were deported under Obama's presidency. In Obama's first three years in office, around 1.18 million people were deported, while around 800,000 deportations took place under Trump in his three years of presidency.[21] In the final year of his presidency Trump deported an additional 186,000 immigrants, bringing his total to just under 1 million for his full presidency.[22]
Since Biden has taken over office, these numbers have increased drastically. During the course of the 24 months of the 2019 and 2020 fiscal years, the DHS documented 1.4 million arrests under Trump. On the other hand, in less than 26 months, the Biden administration's DHS has made over 5 million arrests. Furthermore, the Biden administration has deported the majority of individuals apprehended, but the Trump administration deported a minority of them. Specifically, the Biden government is deporting people at a rate that is 3.5 times higher each month than it was under Trump.[23]
I am sure that you won't believe a word of the link, which makes you a MAGA supporter.
