Many Thanks KungLA It was knowing where to start that was the problem. Now solved.

Hi All. Can anyone assist with finding how to set up a 'Lasting Power of Attorney? I am in Khon Kaen city, if that helps. 2 experiences with local lawyers have been most disappointing to say the least. So, I am looking for assistance from anyone who has done this and had good results. Many Thanks

COD or QR, but NEVER give card details. I made that mistake once about two years ago on Lazada. Someone used the card details to pay for what was obviously a big party via Deliveroo. B27,000! I did get the money returned, but I believe it was due to spotting the withdrawal within a very short time.

Nothing I have done AFAIK, But calls to my number which are not in my home list, are always preceded by, 'This may be a scam call'. It helps make me aware of possible dodgy callers. A few weeks ago the Lazada delivery guy's number came up as a scam call. Just as well I recognised the number, or the parcel may not have been delivered.

And of course there were signs all over the place stating no sunbathing!!!!

Pingpong Is eyeing Taiwan. Putsey invades Ukraine. The big GINGE doesn't like the idea of being left out and want's Iceland. It really is a MAD, MAD world!

RIP OFF Britain is the obvious problem. As to Huawei? Any self respecting person wouldn't touch it. It has more bugs than a flea ridden do dog.

I have had a Revolut account for the past 8 years. The account has never been used other than in Thailand, in fact I was living in Thailand at the time of opening the account. I have been asked by Revolut to update my details to confirm they are correct twice in that time. Just before Christmas, I updated the account to a Premium A/C. I also use Revolut to transfer money to Thailand on a monthly basis, so they know I am resident here. Under the circumstances, why would they challenge my residency? Which factors do you refer to?

That sounds good as I haven't registered my Thai TIN with Revolut. Let's hope it lasts like that.

I would feel sorry for the Pox!

I won't say for sure. However, I usually pay for goods and services with my Revolut card, by stating Thai Baht. This is then taken from the Baht A/C on the card. This way, it does not cost me more than the price of the transaction. Just to make clear. I am paying with Baht and the business is taking Baht. How does that come under 'Common Reporting Standards'? Grateful for a clear answer.

Just answer the questions of confirmation. All done and dusted.

Number one. Do you have someone in the UK to take mail for you? Then purchase a UK SIM card. When the A/C is activated, Revolut then accepts your Thai number from the downloaded app. SIMPLE!

They are quite capable of making fools of themselves without outside help. In fact they are very good at it!

You have confirmed what I say, but then go on to state the bleedin obvious, but include one very obvious problem. 80% of the population do not have, or cold ever find, 150/200,000Baht. Do you then flood the jails with all these non payers? Maybe that is the idea of the offshore jails? Who knows?

This goes to prove, some people just do not learn! In the twenty years I have resided in Thailand, this circus has come to town twice every year. The clowns do the same routine each time and the end result is always the same, ZILCH. The number of injuries and deaths changes, I have to admit, but the end result is shameful. Still, I suppose it works out cheaper than investing in speed and number plate recognition cameras, AND ENFORCING THE LAW on the roads. I guess we can always live in hope things will change!!??

Can't say you are wrong, but I use my bank app to request a statement, which arrives as an email.

And which shops you buy from?

Not at all. As quoted elsewhere, 'Not when I have Thai Baht on My debit card.

Not when I have Thai Baht on my UK debit card.

I use my own countries debit card. Never had a problem, and don't anticipate any.

Could it possibly be, someone is being very economical with the truth?!

With many goods, I believe its called shrinkflation.

Which 39 articles might they be?!

Last time I used UK coins was over 20 years ago, although having been back there twice in the meantime. Still a bloody nightmare!
