  1. I thought I had you on ignore 🙂 anyway read my above post, I wasn't using PP just scanned the QR code in the bar and BKB did charge me 15baht - it was on my statement
  2. I just checked my statement and there is a charge of 15baht - worth noting, I am not registered with BKB for promptpay which may have something to do with it, for e.g. if I make an atm withdrawal from a non BKB atm I am charged 15baht, I have now registered for PP not sure what difference it will make when scanning a QR code
  3. really ? I don't know enough about it to conclude who charged 15baht, I always leave a 20baht tip, need to look further into it, food for thought
  4. speaking of Thai banks and charges, I used a QR payment from Bangkok bank the other day to pay for a 250baht bar bill (just to try it out) well it worked ok but I was charged 15baht for the pleasure, Thai people think cashless is something to brag about, they may need to think again if banks are going to charge like this for every transaction and it might be 15baht now (which IMO should be free) but when you have no option for cash these charges are going to go up because you will simply have no alternative, the banks really will have you by the $$$$$. I am personally 100% against cashless - there is only one winner and it ain't us.
  5. the majority of crimes committed in Thailand are not from foreigners 95%+ are committed by Thai nationals, General Kitrat Panphet needs to adjust his focus and remove the blinkers
  6. you couldn't make it up they are not fighting over this Indian fella they are fighting over his wallet
  7. if you ask the average driver what they are supposed to do at a pedestrian crossing the will likely answer correctly, so why do they not do it ??? simple answer - who is enforcing them to do so and if they don't what penalties are they going to face..........................zero the police are responsible for the road carnage here simply because they have no clue about what they are supposed to do, they really have no idea what their job is
  8. you were ripped off just saying
  9. every ### day we read these stories - wtf is going wrong, this guy is driving school kids is he drunk or what ? jail him
  10. although the local businesses are reaping the benefits a certain part of the community is not...............
  11. lol, probably true but.................. how many - like seriously - pretty much 1000's of entertainment establishments have this sort of techncicly illegal arrangement, no checks as to how they are funded - where the money comes from this guy wasn't playing ball or some other reason more sinister - either way he got shafted - reason unknown
  12. and how old is she ? ???? disgusting
  13. what a complete crowd of W##kers falling about.............drunk leave it til your all sober and see how that goes
  14. this place is getting worse and worse authorities have clearly lost control from the road carnge to rampant drug use and violent crime, no wonder the Chinese chose Vietnam over Thailand for their new year
  15. pity the thai Authorities didn't nab him first, big difference maybe Thailand will request he returns here since thailand is where this #### broke the law , no sympathy
  16. it should have said midnight Tues until midnight wed
  17. so just to be clear, this closure is from midnight on wednesday - effectively thursday until midnignt
  18. there's a hopital bed waiting just in case the thai people decide ..............you robbed them
  19. how is this allowed in Thailand ?
  20. there are multiple incidents of this bizarre practice on a weekly basis, what is it, my guess is phone use mixed with drugs/ alcohol use, as with all issues on Thai roads this is right up there along with bus accidents and DUI
  21. I think the clue in this story are the names of the individuals involved
  22. the defacato home of fake goods flooding the world , we gave them the technology - training and everything else, what a mistake that was - all in the name of - cheap manufacturers and slave labor, we enabled them, how stupid was that I guess there is something in common
  23. raises a lot of questions especially about hygiene
  24. drugs alcohol speeding phone use careless driving - all enforceable by police to avoid these incidents which are often fatal
