Are there any places in Bangkok that provide travel insurance worldwide for a 77 year old?

I am looking for a small venue (seats up to 12) where I can show a film which is on a USB drive. Somewhere not too expensive and within walking distance of BTS or MRT hopefully. Contact details appreciated.

Yes plus I took the next step and also got an online only a/c, no card, no book.  Keep your main funds in the online a/c and transfer living expenses to the debit card as needed.  Lose your card or get hacked you lose only a little.  Works for me.

I tried this with Bangkok Bank but the card they gave me was only UnionPay, not Mastercard or Visa. Maybe I am going to have to start again with SCB?

Although I have a pink id card some services such as the prepaid AIS mPay are restricted to Thai citizens. At least I am learning.

The reason I got my initial SCB prepaid card was when I had to renew my UK passport and was required to write on a piece of paper my credit card details and CVC for all to see. I was not comfortable with this.

Open a new savings account with say SCB, put in a balance your happy with and get a standard debit card on the account, effectively the same

That's a good point. Thanks.

I had one of these called the M card from SCB but they are being discontinued. I got it from Paragon. Does anyone know where I can go to get a replacement? They are handy because you only top them up to a limit you are comfortable with and they don't expose your main account.
 

Does anyone know of a "man and van" who can remove and dispose of a mattress from a house in Pakkred without it costing an arm and a leg?

Thanks. And thanks for the clear definitions (not pedantry).

Restaurant, I thought you went through the 7-11 and up the back stairs, at least I did two years ago when I had to have my Divorce agreement from the US translated so the Ampur would accept it and divorce my ex-wife and I here as well. They were pricey but then it was worth it.  I also had my new passport translated for my Condos Yellow book.

It's a restaurant now. More of a snack bar really. There is another set of stairs visible on the left as you go in. They are not the ones. The ones you want are past the toilets out back. I could write a book on my initial attempts to find the place ????

Can anyone clear this up for me. Are these statements true?

1) Health insurance is required if you have a retirement visa but not if you have a marriage visa.

2) If you have a retirement visa and 800,000 baht in the bank untouched this works in lieu of health insurance.

Thanks

I had some great fun finding a translation agency for precisely this problem. If you want a certified translation you are pushing it demanding a 48 hour turnaround I think. If you don't mind waiting (you can haggle) try International Translations at Sala Daeng. You have to go through a restaurant and up the stairs at the back so look up for the sign as you walk along the street to locate the right restaurant. They are very professional.

Thanks to everyone. I just missed the boat re SuperRich so posted them to a relative in the UK. Assuming they arrive she will deposit them in her bank and transfer the funds to me.

Old UK bank notes cease being legal tender in the UK from next month. Is there anywhere in Bangkok that will convert them into baht? SuperRich?

Alternatively is there anywhere that will convert them into new UK notes?

Pakkred, Nonthaburi.

Hi. Does anyone know where I can get this chair seat repaired?

Thanks.

Thanks to Safety First. Never thought of that.

Just for info. My vaccine ID number begins with "0" (Zero)

Same here

Use your 13-digit vaccine ID number, begins with "6". 6-nnnn-nnnnn-nn-n

Do they all begin with a 6?

You have to be registered on the Mor Prom app to apply for it.  When it is issued you read the QR code on the app to get the digital certificate opened in a browser.

I used the 13 digit ID number on my vaccination certificate to register on the Mor Prom app and it shows my vaccinations.

Is that the same number they put on your appointment notification (before you've had the jab)?

I downloaded the Mor Prom app but can not get past the registration page requesting ID number.  I input my PP number but get error.  How do I register?

Same here.

When my wife and I last shopped at Villa they asked us if we were members and when we asked them how to become members they said go online. All I can find online is V plus which is an app to pay for stuff instead of cash. Is this the same as the loyalty card? If not how exactly do we get an an actual card (like the 1 card in Tops)?

I am on the lookout for self adhesive 9" by 12" envelopes. I know they exist but all I can find are 9" x 12 3/4" which are too long to fit in my plastic carry case.

Does anyone know of any sources? I have tried B2S and Office Mate.

Thanks
