  1. Quote: Viber (Rakuten) is a messaging app offering free, encrypted calls and messages, popular for international communication. While some users enjoy its user-friendly interface and unique features, recent reviews highlight significant issues, including difficult subscription cancellations, billing errors, poor call quality, and unresponsive customer support. Did my due diligence before coming on here, jut wanted some real life experiences, not Bots or hyped up sales talk. I live in Thailand and mostly do short trips in different countries. Some apps like whatsapp are blocked in some countries I visit so will go with one of the ones previously recommended to me based on experience. Thanks anyway!
  2. Thanks for all the advice 👍 I will check them out as I need something that will work worldwide.
  3. Looking for recommendations for an international iphone app for phone calls and data. I have tried the AIS bolt on packages which generally do not work and are a waste of money. and limited luck with e-sim purchases. I work in a variety of countries, Africa, Middle East and Asia to name a few. Please base your suggestions on actual experience. Any suggestions are much appreciated. Thanks
  4. The oil and gas/minerals is a very important factor here which is not widely discussed. I have worked offshore Thailand for years and it was often talked about within the Oil company management circles.
  5. Hello Briggsy I am having similar problems. Did you follow up on this? Would you be willing to share any progress? Thanks
  6. Yes, my concern is that it won't survive, so good you were able to rescue one. My Dad kept Budgies and taught them to talk, great little characters, so I have fond memories of them. I know of a flock that survive in Glasgow (Scotland) and apparently escaped from a Monastery!
  7. My wife spotted this in our garden and it looks like a Budgie to me! Can anyone confirm - I know they are not indigenous to Thailand We live in the Baan Amphur area near Sattahip
  8. Great post! I played amateur football in these conditions - Those were the days🤣
  9. It is and my wife and I specifically asked about this at the TM30 desk. This topic has been covered many times on the forum.
  10. I had no problem opening one 2 years ago with SCB, who I have held personal accounts with for 17 years. However, the will not give you a company debit card which complicates things when you need to make a purchase. I therefore have to use my personal account debit card and claim it back, then present the receipt to the accountant. The bank required a copy of my company registration and stamp
  11. I was prescribed Lyrica for lumbar disc nerve pain, the person you are quoting in your OP is misusing it and is an idiot.
  12. Thanks Sheryl, he also stated that it is common in Thailand as was transmission by food.
  13. My wife suffered from this and it was discovered with an endoscopy procedure. The specialist told us that when left untreated it can lead to cancer. Perhaps Sheryl can confirm?
  14. Same with me - rejected 2 times even though I have put the correct dates. I did it the previous time with no problem. Will try again tomorrow.
  15. Thanks for that Jai, I have also seen Thai grown Ceylon tea on there which I am going to try, but I have enough right now🙂
