The GBPeso is going one way only, and I see no good news on the horizon to change that.

Coyotes and coffin dancers for me I think. Or maybe coyote coffin dancers - must be a market for that!

I doubt Malaysians are reading the Aussie Government advisory.

Where does it say that? I said 40% of Malaysians aren't Muslim. I don't know the exact proportions of Malaysians, Muslim/non-Muslim, who travel to Thailand, nor do I know what proportion of Muslim Malaysians do drink alcohol; having worked in Malaysia I know some certainly do.

Hat Yai is almost back to normal, now that the border has reopened and flights to KL and Singapore resumed. With Malaysian school term 2 holiday break starting tomorrow it will be a busy couple of weeks in Hat Yai. With money tight for most people, many won't want to venture too far for a holiday, so Southern Thailand is just right. Always worth remembering that Malaysia is 40% non-Muslim, and many do like to drink, and it's more often whiskey or brandy (by the bottle) rather than beer. People who think Malaysians are low spenders have obviously never had a night out in KL or Hat Yai.

No, but only from habit. Shop at Big C Extra which used to be Carrefour, there and at Tops. Stuff I can't find in Hat Yai, like Yorkshire Tea, I order from Food Variety on Lazada. Things like sausages and the occasional steaks I order through Passion Delivery.

We've got 5 now dotted through the house, 2x Dot 3, 3x Dot 4. One came from Amazon UK, the other 4 from Lazada. They work fine, I have succeeded in getting Spotify to work, as well as BBC Sounds, Global Player, TuneIn and Skype. There are 5 Sensibo air conditioner controllers linked in, and numerous smartplugs. The intercom 'Drop In' feature is a great help living in a 4 storey shophouse. To do lists and shopping lists link to the Alexa app on the phone, and you can use the drop in feature from the phone too. I find them invaluable. I also don't worry too much about possible eavesdropping. I suspect that's the least of my worries heading deeper in to the digital future. .

I wouldn't even give him that

GoFundMe - that seems to be the go to for folks that screw up

It's in the app, at least for Kasikorn and Krungsri. You need to register first, then people can either pay to your phone number or using your QR code. Can only register one account. .

Who gives a rat's backside?

Krungsri uses the app plus 6 digit OTP like SCB Kasikorn uses the QR code method same as Bangkok Bank Anyone know if the phone's location is used as extra security to confirm you're at the ATM? .

This guy seems so forgetful it was probably written down on a piece of paper tucked inside the phone case.

It's subjective rather than based on measured data, just Joe Farang thinks it's dirty.

I closed my Abbey National/Santander account because of issues with failing the ID verification process. Due to the time zones working in the Russian Far East I invariably ended up with a call centre in Delhi, where my inability to understand what I was being asked meant my being forwarded to the 24hr customer services desk in the UK, who fixed the issue after confirming it really was me. I just couldn't be bothered with the extra hassle. .

Clearly life in the old dog yet, he was in Samui yesterday at the Centara Reserve and he plays The Centara Grand Beach Resort Phuket tomorrow night. Only 10k with dinner in Phuket.

Yeah right! That didn't go so well in Europe with refugees from Syria and Libya did it. But you're forgetting internal migration, projections for the USA have some 90 to 150 million people needing to relocate because of sea rise or drought by 2050. .

Sure, but there weren't 8 billion humans on the planet then. Worse over 1 billion live in low lying areas susceptible to flooding or rises in sea level, whilst over 2 billion are living in drought prone areas. These 3 billion plus aren't going to stay put - most likely moving to an area near you.

Karat brand have been the most reliable for me.

It would be very difficult to stage a free and fair referendum in the southern provinces. There would be considerable pressure on voters from the separatists to vote one way, and the government to vote the other. I suspect most are happy to remain part of Thailand but with the acceptance of Pattani-Malay (Jawi) as an official language, an end to Thaification, and recognition of their history and culture. Many would also want to see the implementation Sharia law, similar to Malaysia, where Sharia Courts deal with the Islamic laws relating to betrothal, marriage, inheritance, apostasy and divorce. Sharia law would not apply to non-Muslims. .

Yes. But Kasikorn bank staff are more prone to saying you can't do something, probably because they're less well trained than Krungsri bank staff. They also try to package insurance policies with stuff, so just be on your toes. .

I find the Kasikorn banking app better than Krungsri. But I find the Krungsri bank staff better at getting stuff done. .

App says Android 5 and up, so the OS isn't the issue. If you've done the uninstall - install and you say the phone hasn't been rooted, the only things left are conflict with other app, or with Xiaomi and or its set up.

Out of interest what make of phone are you using and what version of Android? I've had no problems with the Krungsri App on my Samsung, I'm running Android 12. .
