I had a Thai friend call up the call center and the reply was that they cannot do anything about it and will need for my own bank to liaise with them.

I will contact AEON asap at their branch office. It seems I don't have to worry as everyone got their money back.

Thing is, I don't have a receipt. Was never given a chance to request one. I've already called my own bank and they have lodged a case on it. They said it can take up to 45 days to get the money back as they need to liaise with AEON. I really hope it's not that long. Will going to AEON and telling them my case help?

This is at AEON bank, they had a long processing time and finally it gave an error. I went home to check on my internet banking and whoala, the balance's deducted. Has this happened to anyone before? Shall I take this up with AEON?

I was talking about the legit localized version ones that cost 500-700 BHT. Pirated ones goes for way less.

I've seen some cheap PC games being sold like 500-700 BHT as local versions. Are those the same as US versions with access to US multiplayer gaming and such? Is it in English?

Just wondering, what is living with HIV like? One has to take meds everyday? Can't have sex anymore? Can that person function like a normal person health wise or experience difficulties?

Anyone can share?

Looks like I've got to order some over the internet.

HIV Home test kits, can I buy them anywhere in BKK? If yes, how much do they cost?

I've got 3 Tourist Visa's in my passport already this year and I am due to apply for another one this November, will I have a problem? I'm actually Malaysian and I apply from my own country next door. I just live here and manage my own business over the internet. I would hate to fly out of the country and come back every 30 days. Although I heard that might be a problem too.

Currently I work over the internet and my work is all internet based. I am thinking of renting my own office space instead of working from the room. Is it possible to just rent a small office in one of the many central buildings for myself? What kind of prices are we looking at?

Can somebody list a couple of available 3g USB modems that I can buy here? I want to try out True's 3g. I heard you need a 850 band capable modem or something like that.

I saw some Electronic Cigarettes in MBK. I did a search over the internet and apparently it's gaining popularity among smokers. I am a smoker myself. They say it doesn't have tar but still gives you nicotine or something like that. I would love not having to buy another pack of cigarettes because one of those Electronic Cigarettes can last a long time, something like 200 uses for each cartridge. Anybody can tell me more about this?

Any True 3g coverage at Victory Monument? I want to get a USB modem and put a pre-paid sim into it.

1500 BHT is not anywhere near normal. In my current place it's free wifi throughout the building and at least a dozen other places I've checked is 500-1000 BHT max.

Wireless? I was thinking more along the lines of the 3g internet which comes with a USB modem allowing me to pick up the signal everywhere I go. I will be living in Victory Monument.

I am moving to a new apartment in BKK and they are charging crazy expensive for their in building internet at 1500 BHT. Would it be cheaper to just subscribe to my own wireless internet service around here? I saw a friend carrying around a little USB modem and he could get internet from everywhere. How much do those cost?

Quick one... for a Tourist Visa application in KL, I just need to fill up the form and one photograph and give in my passport right? Do I need a photocopy of anything? Then next day collect what time? Thanks.

Where are some places to check for STDs that have results within 1-2 hours? What's the usual cost? I want to do this for me and my partner.

Going Saturday tommrow Lumpinee about 16.30, anything good? How do I place bets?

My TR says I can stay until August 4th. If I leave on August 4th no problem right?

It's open tomorrow, half day until 12. I just went there late and couldn't extend my tourist visa so I asked.

Yes, at all most any bank with proper ID(Passport) and an account with that bank would be a plus for sure, bet you got a high interest rate with that Citi-Bank card, sure did with my BOA card, got rig of that bad boy, got luck and got a local one via SCB.

Having used an SCB credit card for a cash advance on a couple of occassions, as the ATM card had sh8t itself....the SCB cash advance is not much cheaper, if memory serves, think they hit me THB 600 fee ++

How much was the cash advance for that 600 BHT fee?

Serious? Will I get lousy rates?

Yep. Credit card cash advances should only be used in emergencies. First off, Citibank will charge you a 5% cash advance fee. Next, the clock on 18% interest kicks in immediately. Then, whatever network Citibank rides (Visa or MasterCard) will charge a 1% foreign transaction fee. Then, on the Thai side, these folks will want their share of your assets. So expect a hefty fee here as well. These will differ between booths and banks, with the former usually charging more.

You won't need your pin number, as this will be a signature transaction.

Also, your cash advance maximum may differ from your overall credit limit, so check that out if you're really seriously considering going this route.

Man, didn't know there was so much crap. Definitely will be my emergency only option now.
