Bank book yes.Passport..I forget but probably.

I had the same issue. I had money in my wallet I wanted refunded. The help desk walked me thru the procedure. You have to do it through the "bot" and follow the prompts. After a few stumbles it actually worked. The refund was credited to my Kbank the next day.

Using my own experience on this subject I feel I should comment. I once bought a pre-owned Toyota car that was several years old from a local nurse. I mistakenly didn't do due diligence and after a couple months I discovered that the radiator fluid had never been changed along with brake pads etc. My own fault but I now would only recommend for someone to buy a 2nd hand vehicle from a farang. Working class Thais just don't have the resources to afford regular servicing of their cars/trucks.Most farangs I know can at least afford to have the thing serviced once in a while. IMHO

Similarly as me. After being cut in at a 7-11 one too many times, once I had placed half a dozen items on the counter.The girl was just about to start scanning my stuff and Somchai cuts in and asks for some smokes, she reaches behind to grab them and that's when I said I was here 1st and then left the store. f em they can put all the crap back!

Worked perfectly in New Zealand for me a few years ago. No questions asked.

On Saturday night, the AESO had to issue an emergency alert asking households to conserve power to avert a “high risk” of rotating power outages, CBC wrote. That meant turning off unnecessary lights and appliances, minimizing use of electric space heaters, avoid cooking with a stove, and delaying plugging in electric vehicles or block heaters. https://www.theenergymix.com/alberta-premier-blames-renewables-after-cold-snap-idled-gas-plants-trigger-grid-emergency/

Correct Mr Ford, Does he think Somchai will respect his usufruct contract? 555 this may happen sooner than later. It sure happened to a retired RCMP acquaintance years ago. He was away and when he came back her Somchai answered the door and not so politely told him to leave asap, which he had no option but comply. Happens here quite often.

During a very recent cold snap in Alberta,Canada the citizens were advised to NOT plug in their EV,s.

I wonder if they'll be visiting the place: operations center for inactive posts?

I completely forgot about the special hoses for washing machines.I don't they excist here.They are very robust but there should always be a shut off valve nearby to open/close for convenience.

Things break and deteriorate over time. A burst/leaking hose while you aren't home can cause a ton of damage especially in a condo situ.In my house there is a valve/tap that is opened and closed upon each and every use.Its never left in the open position when not in use. It's in my standing orders for all to see.555 For peace of mind I'd fix it. It probably won't cost a lot.

The most/least interesting time I have spent at sea was in an old diesel submarine I was serving on in the early 70,s. 28 days submerged. Modern nukes routinely do 90 days. No distractions.

I have it written in my Thai will that I wish to be cremated in the Buddhist fashion. My wife has even gone to a local temple and got an estimate. 555 apparently it's about 50k but food and booze obviously extra. Hope they don't charge by the kilo because I'm up a couple this last year.

Bob, I receive a company pension from Canada. So I understand that can only be taxed in Canada? What about my OAS,CPP pensions? Same?

That must be why the requests for so many copies and signatures for everything we do here.Banks,licence,immigration on and on.It's got to be mistrust like everyone is a natural born thief.Maybe I'm too honest for my own good.

555 thats my laugh for the day.OMG what an ordeal to get a new ATM card. I lost my Kbank ATM for the 1st time in 20 years before Xmas. I called customer service to cancel the old one and was instructed to go to my branch to get a new card..I asked to have it mailed to me. She said but that will take a week.I said no problem and it sounded like she was trying to discourage this and wanted me to visit the bank.They took 200 b from my account and a week later it arrived along with tracking. Quite easy.I hate going to my branch because everything takes an hour to complete.

Agree it is owned by a Thai who is representing the Chinese couple by proxy for a fee.There are now half a dozen in this moo ban that have sprung up in the last 5 years.Similar to many farangs who have their houses etc. in a company name registered through their solicitor.One of many loopholes and workarounds prevalent here.Just about anything can be accomplished for a fee. Thats why we love living here. So in an reply yes, it's probably legal. 555

Yes as a last resort. We've lived in the same house for 17 years now in peaceful harmony with the neighbours until this invasion. bah

Wow, the link is very informative. I wish Booking.com had that.I have to register and sign in to even access their help line ffs. Then they want a booking number...I'm not very optimistic.

You've just described my situation.The difference being they built a 5br Pool Villa next to us.These are called "small hotels" and are only allowed to Thai citizens.The lady who looks after the moo ban probably has it in her name and the real owners are Chinese.There are about 5-6 examples in the immediate area now. At a glance it looks legal. Our complaints about loud pool parties at 3 am to city hall(Pattaya) result in crickets.We've upgraded out adjoining wall/windows to the tune of 60k. It helps but thats all. I am now reduced to childish revenge like a prolonged air horn blast at 0700 for their amusement. FYI It's listed on Booking.com.I wonder if contacting them will bear any fruit?

No we've never met the Chinese owners but we have their phone no. She only responded late at night the 1st time we complained at 1 am. The other times she has responded to my wife's complaints have been the next day.I picture they're living in a posh high rise condo near the sea and not bothered after midnight by loud pool parties.I've told my wife I'm moving out but she thinks I'm kidding. At 73 when I get a rude awakening in the wee hours it f___s me up the whole next day. So calling the owner after midnight is not productive as the phone is probably off.

My wife has complained to he owner along with a sound recording and she says she will tell them to stop. Thats great, for 1 night but then a new group arrives and it all repeats. I bought a compressed air horn from Lazada.After being woken up at 5 am I once I gave a full 30-40 second blast at 0700. The devil himself couldn't have slept thru that. It gave me great joy though.I'm trying to think of ways to do faux bookings with (Booking.com) any ideas?

Same here, I've had bypass surgery previously and my exclusion list is a whole page.I refer to my coverage as from my " chin up and my knees down" Virtually useless.At 73 I have a DNR Form signed in with my Thai Dr. My Etna/Allianz premium is only 3500/month so like you its really only accident insurance.When it gets much higher I'm stopping it all together.I tried to quit them 2 years ago and the rep practically begged me to keep it. I said ok but knock off some exclusions..he said he can't.555

I'm living in hell right now. In my moo ban 17 yrs they knocked down the old house next door to us and built a 12 mil 5 br pool villa. Its listed on Booking.com for about 11-12k/night. A new gang arrives about twice a week are mostly single guys.The pool parties usually start anytime between 1am and 4am. The Chinese owners have made it legal via a the Thai lady manager of the mooban.(proxy)Not a thing we can do.I'm surprised none of the neighbours have complained. I curse anyone who knowingly does that.
