Anonymous bank deposit
Gaccha replied to Gaccha's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
This sounds good. I'll go ahead and do it. -
Anonymous bank deposit
Gaccha replied to Gaccha's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
She will simply pay the money back to them or compel them to tell her my name. She will feel the guilt to repay if she can find a way to do it. -
Anonymous bank deposit

Is that info added to the records of the deposit or just kept by the bank for itself? -
Problem with increasingly aggressive & violent wife
Gaccha replied to JammG's topic in Family and Children
That's surprising because schizophrenia, when it is inherited (50% of cases), is almost always through the paternal lineage (90%). -
A Thai friend needs to get some surgery, but she doesn't have the money. I want to gift her the money but I never want her to feel any obligation to pay it back. She has a heart of gold and will want to pay it back. I think surgery will probably cost around 25,000 baht. Can I simply deposit cash into her account by going to her bank? I can obtain her bank details because she has shared them with a mutual friend to sort out a lunch payment. So my concern is for it to be anonymous to her. I'm wondering if by paying by cash I can achieve that, or do banks here require the sender's name to be on the deposit? The problem I can imagine is with legislation on money laundering, but I don't care about the bank knowing who deposited, just the receiver.

Switching from work permit to non-o
Gaccha replied to statman78's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Every law firm website I have looked at describes it as a cancellation. What are you suggesting is occurring and what word is suitable? -
Don Mueang airport’s escalator accident not caused by poor maintenance
Gaccha replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
It's described by the airport as a travelator. -
Switching from work permit to non-o
Gaccha replied to statman78's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Must be on the same day? What exactly happens on your passport on that day you cancel the work permit and go to immigration? (That period is a time of anxiety because you can easily be forced to leave the country if things are screwed up) -
Not true, but certainly true for almost all of them. My one, who is a closely guarded secret, can be seen stitching the suits and shirts together when he has no customers. He is, of course, nowhere near Sukhumvit Road. And I don't want his prices to triple when some out-of-towners from Thaivisa turn up.

Ex-lawyer here. I'm exiting this chat because the OP has still failed to tell us which country he is from. There is no such country called "Farangland". Every country has a different legal system, which means every country has a different way of dealing with marriage issues. What possible advice can he expect from us?

How to get my tax refund?
Gaccha replied to Lorry's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
I had this exact problem about 4 years ago. I had to open an account in the KrungThai bank. And then withdraw the money from the ATM of that bank. I actually forgot until your post that I even had this account. But since then I have simply received the rebates directly from my employer. I have no idea how they sorted it out. I still have the bank card sitting in my work drawer. -
Be aware: Re-entry permit
Gaccha replied to RafPinto's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
This is genuinely difficult to pull off in one day. I tend to walk out of an extension to stay at chengwatana immigration at some time around 7:00 p.m.. They keep going long after the doors are shut. That effectively makes it impossible for me to get the multiple reentry on the same day. Partly I might be to blame as I tend to turn up at around midday when the crowds have reduced. It's possible, although I have never attempted it, that if I turned up at the crack of dawn, and then constantly got new queue tickets for the re-entry until it eventually coincides with completing the extension of permission to stay then it could be pulled off. I did do something similar with the 90 days notification. I had to repeatedly get a new 90 days ticket as I kept missing my spot because I was stuck at the extension of stay counter. The extension of stay for my visa typically takes around 5 to 7 hours (this drops to 4 hours with an appointment), though my understanding is the retirement visa and other such visas can be done much more quickly than my one. -
No. In relation to human weight, it is better than using Pounds. Just as Feet and Inches is better than simply using Inches for a person's height. And just as we don't use nanoseconds to describe the speed of a car.

It has always baffled me that despite Americans using the Imperial measurement system, they don't know Stones as it is such a handy unit for describing human weight. But it seems to have been introduced from Britain and never reached America. All research suggests that you put on almost all of the weight that you have taken off. Usually what happens is that users get bored of having no desire to eat, or dislike the blandness of food when taking it (which is a common side effect). So the key right now is to start to develop habits so that eating is not your main hobby.

Are SD cards more reliable than USB flash drives?
Gaccha replied to Kenny202's topic in IT and Computers
The USB are far more likely to corrupt than SD or SSD. I have had several USB sticks corrupt on me, but by using freely available software I was always able to recover the contents. You might have to test several recovery software products to find one that works in that particular situation. The last time I used them I used some German software that was only in German, but it did work. -
Are you referring to "wives"? They often require quite high levels of maintenance and termination costs can be rather shocking.

I think you might have nailed it. Also, when you make the order you reveal your name, your address and your desire for a certain purchase. This might be used by selling on the information. I have used Lazada for years and I never use COD and I've never have had any serious problems. There are some major advantages in paying in advance. For example, if I get sent the wrong items, at the moment of leaving the item at the parcel office to return to the seller, Lazada instantly gives me a refund, not even giving the seller the opportunity to agree or appeal. Lazada sent a message to me saying they want to refund quickly because I was a loyal customer. I can only presume that I receive a rating which must be very high and so Lazada takes feedback from me seriously. If you follow the rules, you win.

Breaking News As with my last reply the news sites have not yet said anything about this. Zipmex has applied again for an extension to prevent any action by creditors. Don't get excited. The plan in place to wind up the Zipmex Asia operation continues. They are in the late stages of a sale of Zipmex Thailand, which looks like it will be sold for peanuts. This is in line with my expectations as the brand has no value now. The creditors of the lockup facility have their money in Zipmex Asia and so their focus will be its winding up. There are a huge number of ifs and buts in the affidavit of the CEO. But it looks like the creditors will gain around 5% return of the debt in the company. For most of them this will be received within three or four months of the winding up. For those with credit of greater than $2,000 (a very small percentage of the 68,000 creditors), they will have to wait an estimated 3 or 4 years. The only imaginable way that the situation dramatically improves is if Babel Finance actually are able to start paying back their debts. This is practically inconceivable. (I've written this by skimming several affidavits submitted to the Singapore court. And then I have written this by memory. So do not rely on it)

The doctrine of utmost good faith is about the disclosures at the point of the agreement, not over disputes when an event arises. The doctrine requires that the prospective insured (insuree) provides all relevant information that it could be imagined the reasonable insurer would want to know. A lot of insured people think that the agreement is solid if they kept things quiet. But with this doctrine, the insurance company can go back to the original moment of signing and void the agreement. This is not that situation.

Global network of sadistic monkey torture exposed by BBC

I use my old passport number for the bank. It has never been a problem, and this is after around 8 years. It operates as a security feature in my favour: observe, improvise, overcome.
