Electric vehicles have been around for many years, so the technology is not new. Remember the electric milk cart, and they are over thirty years old. Battery tech has improved so much even over the past 2 to 3 years and is still improving. So the EV can only improve. Most peoples worry is centred around the Battery life, understandably. For me personally, I would wait maybe 2 more years and then give it very serious thought. But that is me, I cannot speak for others.

Who really needs that kind of encouragement?

Why does the fraudulent transaction have to be in the same city? About 18 months ago I bought something via Lazada using my debit card. 27000B was taken from my account the same day by Deliveroo in the UK, 6000 miles away. I did get my money returned by the Thai bank but it took a while.

The air that I breath, but don't tell anyone or some fool will put a charge on it!

I have to ask. To whom would you pass on the Arabs? 🤣

I can't help but wonder, if that was in Blackpool!?

I read this somewhere, and find it so true...“Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.”

All heading for the dirt pit? Not me, I'm going to hell in a hand cart😈

Where did I say it was IMPOSSIBLE/ SHOW ME THE QUOTE. It was my experience at the time of acquiring my Revolut card. As I have not had to apply since, I have to assume the same rule applies. Then you come along all guns blazing. As the saying goes, better to keep your mouth closed. etc, etc.

What would you have me do? Sorry, but I'm all out of medals and a pat on the back is doubtful as my arms are not that long. However, having got what you wanted, good luck.

If these two women have been given a price for Toll or no Toll, surely the word 'Toll' would indicate a higher cost to the journey. I don't think I am missing anything here?

So, I'm all out of medals just now. If it worked, it worked. Good luck.

Private Jones, 'They don't like it up em'.

Its not just confined to beach resorts, most of if not all cities with taxis have the same problem. Can't tar them all with the same brush, but many try it on.

Never having seen a Wise Debit card I can't say.

I believe you should look closer at who charged the Bht200 fee. My understanding is, Thai banks do not charge for receiving money. Latter part of last year I had a dispute with my UK bank who claimed it was BKB who made the extra charge, until I proved them wrong with a written statement from BKB that they do not make a charge when receiving cask from abroad.

Depends on the time of day both in Thailand and home country. I have received cash within minutes and over a couple of days. Friday is a no, no unless done before 08:30 am Thai time.

You do need an address in your home country AND a telephone number. I use a relatives address and my own UK Skype number.

Do you have a relative in your home country?

Here is a way to benefit using Revolut in Thailand. I have just been to tops Supermarket 1 hour ago. The till read THB1309. I hand over my Revolut card and ask the till girl to take in Thai Baht. The Price I paid was THB1309. Also in Uniqlo, The cost of the items was THB950. Swipe the card on the reader and pay THB950. I also use the ATM of Kasikorn Bank and pay the THB220, which is standard with all banks. Transferring GBP to Kasikorn from the APP cost me THB 22.50 last time which was December 23. A transfer from my UK bank to Revolut is free, but there is a small charge for transferring GBP to Bath on the card via the APP. Hope this helps.

I think this S/Korean guy did very well, 4 hours at the price he paid was a giveaway. 30 years ago I paid a taxi drive 1000Baht for a half day tour from BKK to Ayutthaya with my grand children. The service was 100%, even to the driver taking us around the site with a history lesson on some of the more interesting sites. What the hell is the Korean guy complaining about? Or, as I suspect, is he trying to make a name for himself back home?

The name Enterprise reminds me of my last visit to the UK. Wanting all my ducks in a row, I contacted Enterprise via their website to make the hire, only to be informed that payment would be in Thai Baht. When I questioned as to why, it was due to my home address being in Thailand. I cancelled, as the exchange rate would have put an almost £100 on the deal. However, hiring at Heathrow I was not charged in Thai Baht although my Thai address was given. In both instances it was payment with a UK Debit card. Also, my Thai D/L was accepted without question and no IDP required.

Whole heartedly agree with Cheryl's 'Measures that will help reduce or stop reflux include'. If I can add, keep a check on your diet and narrow down those foods which cause the reflux. It varies with from one person to another, but tomatoes, cucumber, apples and oranges, can be the cause. Even lean red meat and white bread can be a problem. Keep notes on all food you eat and then leave out the culprits.

I opened a Shopee A/C 8/02/67 and placed 3 orders. My dog is begging food from our table because Shoppe can't be bothered to send the goods. I am still looking at an unopened bottle of rum because some clown thinks Strawberry Ribena is Blackcurrent. The 3rd order, who knows where it is, possible on its way to the moon for all I know. Whoever the retailers are, in my opinion they are about as much use as TITs on a fish and Shoppe can go take a hike.

IF Putin does kick off, no matter where you are life will never be the same, IF life continues. The real point being, Just what the hell can any of us do? However, I do believe I am better off where I am initially, but then than may mean a slow death from the fall out, so which do you prefer???
