  1. another Manuel? As Basil Faulty put it - ''it's like to train a monkey''.
  2. Thailand will still face having to deal with those political parties who have the instincts of snakes.
  3. Strange country but lovely people. after 25+ years, I'v sure learned what inertia means.
  4. thank goodness this news is not going to affect the outcome of the delayed formation of a democratic government. ????
  5. there are 2 versions of the OP - first one appears to have confused people (my bad) and a 2nd plain english version. try re-reading....as I posted that I would change banks. I have done so. btw, who do you bank with? ????
  6. Still waiting to hear from anyone else who has experienced (p/o's at) the banks' termination of an automatic bank notification of every transaction. anyone?
  7. bit off topic: I dumped my last PC. due to rust (25 years of living in beach houses (no A/C's as the work desk is the dining table). My internal hard drives would fail, once too often. Large memory external hard drives used to be incredibly expensive - and they rusted out too. . I replaced the PC box with a Surface Pro tablet, as soon as the first model came out. You reminded me of the only problem I have; due to laziness, i never put it in a case. So its slate grey casing makes it easy to leave behind at a restaurant. (I'm forgetful ???? ) I often think of sticking a Red Hot Chili Peppers label on the casing. There was a Ferrari case available; cost an arm and a leg ????. Someone's going to make a fortune one day when they manufacture tablet covers that you can slide your tablet into, similar to what you can do with your mobile phone case. the choices could be endless - Man U/City, Liverpool, Ferrari and so on.
  8. Thanks for this. I must test/try to do a transfer, or pay a bill, with BBL. Also, I'll call them to find out if they will keep the web based system.
  9. I made a transfer last week, using SCB EASY. I noticed 2 changes to the info. I used to receive: .1. (this is a repeat) I did not get a text message on my mobile, advising me of the transfer details (account# and amount) and to contact the bank if the details were wrong ; 2. I did not get an email Alert - it used to look like this '' Re: Alert from SCB Easy Net: Automatic notice of transaction - account # of transferee and amount''. In my opinion, SCB Internet banking services have gone to hell.
  10. imagine you are 82+; you forgot to have kids; you are not computer/mobile literate and your husband has passed on....that is the scenario I have planned for.
  11. But - seriously experienced Cisco programmer couple, who are friends have advised me to never use a hotspot for financial work. I'd rather be safe than sorry.
  12. You can sign up with PEA to have automatic debits go thru' your bank. Plus, there is a safety feature - as PEA will send you a text message to your mobile, telling you how much is payable. This allows you to check that your bank balance is sufficient to cover the debit. I do this for my PEA accounts for 2 properties. PM me if you want to know how to set up the auto debit.
  13. I put it badly. I travel in NST, Surathani, Phuket and I work when I am in restaurants, or at a hotel, where the internet is NOT secure. . So I am not at home 50% of the time. also I only print hard copy when absolutely necessary (eg international banking, crypto). otherwise I save the screen capture as a picture on Win 11. I've been a tree hugger since when i lived in BC Canada in the 1970's/80's early 90's - one of the worse governments for granting licences to clear cut forests. Don't shoot from the lip, please ????
  14. I'll call the Internet Service centre and ask, as I am in the process of switching from SCB to Bankkok Bank (aka (Bualuang).
  15. you will, one day - as sure as Gd made little green apples. ????
  16. me too, age wise. yes, my mobile is in use all the time - especially when i use my private hotspot option, in public places (i do a lot of banking and investing). here's the thing - I like a big tablet screen at home, to do my online banking. solution such as screen capturing your bank transactions on your phone and then sending it to yourself so that you can print a hard copy at home......... whatever happened to the KISS principle (Keep it simple, stupid) ? That's not a personal remark, btw.
  17. this is in jest, ok? yours is very imaginative - thanks. Isn't that that a bit like the tail wagging the dog.? . (i) no way I will shove my Surface tablet into a drawer and lug a monitor and keyboard around, when travelling? 555 (ii) I do not want to spend my money unnecessarily - just because those bunts at SCB decided to cut costs. ????
  18. no worries - Skynet (Terminator) is coming and will take care of all our technological concerns ????
  19. exactly !! thank you for summarizing the screwe you, scb clusterfrack
  20. about as zenophobiac as any Thai - even more so because he was leading the country. YOuve forgotten some of his great sayings? ''the UN is not my uncle'' or - rejecting any offers of foreign aid after the 2004 tsunami? whilst we fools raised donations abroad? egotistical mf'er.
  21. I will try to post a more easy to understand version of my OP. STEP 1: I transferred money from my SCB account. I had to use SBC EASY on my mobile. The transfer went to my account at Bangkok Bank. STEP 2: I then logged on to Bangkok Bank, on my tablet (Win 11). I then made a transfer to a 3rd party bank, successfully, using my PC. Excuse the original confusing way I posted this.
  22. would appreciate it if you would go into more details ......what is still available?????
  23. Thanks for clarifying that. One way or the other - I am happy as a pig in $hit to be able to bank online with my Surface Pro. btw, I used SCB EASY to make a transfer 2 days ago. For the first time in 10+ years, I did not receive a text message, on my mobile, asking me to confirm the transfer. Ain't that weird and a real security flaw?
