  1. I use Revolut and have done for a few years now. I am allowed £1000.00 per month before transfer charges apply, which includes ATM withdrawals. Not a lot, but my circumstances mean I don't need more. I usually transfer the money from my UK bank to Revolut, no charge. I then transfer that to the Revolut Thai BHT A/C via the App, no charge, and then transfer the amount to my K bank A/C. The total cost is about 44/49 BHT. I also keep a reasonable amount on the card to pay for various things when out and about. As I am paying in Baht there are no other charges. The card has been refused on a couple of occasions, but then I have the K bank card. Cheep as chips as the saying goes.
  2. So, all the hotels may have a sign on the reception desk, "No Credit unless over 90, and accompanied by both parents".
  3. I would give it a go depending on the income and prospect!🤑
  4. To where do these 3900 radio stations broadcast within Thailand?. Other than 103FM I don't know of any others
  5. Playing dumb wont be so hard, I'm sure!
  6. Who gets "FREE TIME"? The house you live in, cost you. The food you eat, costs you. The vehicle you drive, costs you. Anything and everything costs one way or another, so just what is "FREE TIME"!?
  7. I have to assume you are referring to the 1940/50s police, because in my estimation the police farce has gone down hill at a great rate of knots since the 60s. Can't tar them all with the same brush admittedly, and I don't say they are corrupt, but there are some very bad apples in the barrel now.
  8. Who's side are you on? Or are you just avin a larf?
  9. My "Platforms" have worn so thin I had to throw them out!
  10. The government winnings should take care of that in a very short time,
  11. Very little chance of that, me thinks.
  12. I'll stay away from Bulgaria at that rate. No point asking for trouble?
  13. What is known as a 'Bit of a Lad', then? He is of course entitled to his opinion, but there are better ways of making said opinion known. Going to the extreme of violence is a fools errand, and achieves very little other than hate.
  14. Quite agree. but when the one who said yes, OK you can do that, then two years later says. 'I've had people knocking on my door asking where you are'. I knew it was a lie, but as a great distance separated us, what was I to do?
  15. The simple answer to that is NO. If the DWP know you have left the country after a pension upgrade, they will reduce it to the previous payment.
  16. That sounds very much like a post code lottery?
  17. Thats fighting talk where I come from. Just as well I don't come from there anymore!😏
  18. Love and kindness! Who are they?
  19. If it is, I am being short changed, as I paid in for 50 years, as did many others of my age.
  20. As far as I am aware, UK pensioners living in any European country get the full increases.
  21. You forget the one most important fact in your statement. TIT, even the thought of rocket science here is an illusion.
  22. Yes, it is cruel, but unfortunately has been like this for many, many years. The cost to the UK exchequer would be in the billions of ponds to upgrade those living outside Europe. Due to the spendthrift governments of all colours, to increase all pensions on a yearly basis would bankrupt the country.
