Barclays Bank to close UK accounts for British expats
Tropicalevo replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
A good friend banks (banked?) with Barclays. They keep contacting him and telling him that he must close his account. His response is always 'No. I do not want to close it.' Followed by 'if you want it closed, you close it and I will respond appropriately.' -

Water rationing starts 1st July
Tropicalevo replied to Tropicalevo's topic in Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, Koh Tao
I totally agree with your comment here. Maybe a couple of very wet seasons. I have read that the pipeline from the mainland is not working (again). Well water is becoming more difficult to buy and the water quality now is so bad that owners are putting large filter systems in their properties to stop the taps/showers from 'clogging' up. I have seen water trucks filling up with water from the lake near Central Festival in Chaweng and that water is very 'iffy'. -

Here on Samui we have lots of short power outages ie < 10 seconds. UPS keeps everything safe on the desktop computer.

Birth rate plunge triggers health minister’s urgent action plan
Tropicalevo replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Wrong. A declining birthrate does not lead to a 20% rise of seniors. It jut changes the ratios. They will grow old regardless. -
