I have had two emails about this. I will now move to using only ATMs One device banking is not safe using a notebook plus mobile is two device and much safer

No I nevr install new version updates for at least a year. Switched of TPM in Bios so windows thinks I don't meet the criteria for win 11 and so does not update to it.

They aren't deceased you can hear them coff'n

I believe they specialise in buying up old pension pots from other insurers and I have one pension with them - £40 a year thank god! I still think they cannot insist where the pension is paid to - maybe it doesn't suit their "systems" but that is their problem not yours - consult the financial omsbudman over this maybe a bit of pressure will help.

So - it's your pension which you have contributed to (over the years I guess) are they stealing it or what alternative do they offer after all it's your choice where you live?

I've been a Natwest customer (originally National Provincial) for 63 years but that doesn't matter these days loyalty means nothing to big business and governments

More and more bots to chat with - if I supect that I ask them "are you a bot?" if they are you never get an answer.

"Oh man I just finished talking with them,I called the USA number what is on my booking confirmation +18666568207,15 minutes call,they couldn't solve my problem but they sent me a list of numbers worldwide and the Thai number is working" Thanks for the list BUT isn't it typical that you can make the booking on the internet BUT if there is a problem/question you had to make a 15 minute international call (at your expense) to make any sort of contact - and your issue still hasn't been solved. For those interested in the brands that BookingHoldings own follow this link and hover over brands in the menu - it's a monolith in the bookings field - and we all know what happens when businesses control too much of a market! https://www.bookingholdings.com/

Agoda is part of the Booking.com Empire and they )booking.com) are almost impossible to contact in any sensible way so I expect Agoda will be the same.

It's a major brand for most domestic "white goods" (and yes it's Turkish) - I have a washing machine in UK no issues

I agree I agree - you have to pay but you don't have to wait. In the UK (Scotland) I can't even get registered with a dentist (NHS) over here just had a teeth clean - cost 330 Baht just turn up at the hospital and join the queue. In Scotland I had 3 referals to consultants in the 6 months before I returned to Thailand - no contact for an apointment- as a matter of coutesy I let them know I was away for a few months and now I guess when I return I will be at the back of a very long queue! Over here - go to the hospital and you get seen.

Well known Thai proverb - Rules are meant for breaking. Come to think of it - well known universal proverb - Rules are meant for ignoring!!

A word of advice - when I renewed my licence recently (Korat) the free cerificate of residence took 10 days, if I wanted it there and then 500Baht for each one (car and motorcycle) might be different elsewhere but might pay to check before getting the medical cert (valid 1 month I think).

Yes and you see many on their mobile phones too.

In Bangkok?

can you tell me where for the blood test?

Thanks - suddenly my UK (Scotland) Health Trust offered me a vax whilst I'm here and offer terminating in March and do not plan to re-offer till next year when I will be over the 80 year limit - why I haven't been offered it before I do not know! Anyway I'm back in the UK in late March and will attempt to get the vax (without much hope) so it's good to know that if unsuccesful I can get at least something here.

Is it available in Thailand?

Thanks everybody - my gf blitzes them and makes a drink

I just wish the US Politicians would spend as much time and energy running the country as they do running down each other!

Yes and it happens to us all eventually but the important thing is whilst we are here we make our own choices

Thanks everybody I can see I have stirred up a hornets nest of the "I love simplicity not security brigade" - and I agree with those who say our choices are being taken away from us and we should all be concerned about that whether we like or dislike apps on phones. As Lord Acton once said "The price of freedom is eternal vigilance". That's why I don't "go with the flow" or roll over easy just because the "crowd" thinks I should. In my original post I asked a specific information (which someone gave me - thank you) not attacks on how I choose to live my life but then again I guess those who think I should be the same as them will never accept that. That's my last word on the matter.

So you know how much money is involved eh? And yes wether I am a Westerner or a Thai I should be allowed to expect that Lazada will do what it says it will do or are you an entitled westerner who rolls over so easy?

Some people can't resist can they? Tthis is not about APPS it's about refunding of money and making a consumer complaint - One helpful person has given me a useful link so rather than put up with people who know best about APPS berating me I won't be following MY post anymore. Like I said It's my choice not to use APPS on a single mobile > I use a TWO DEVICE approach to security (notebook and Phone) I don't critsize your choice don't criticize mine.

Yes maybe that's sensible BUT I'm more than annoyed first their suppliers send me products not as described and not working then they try to stop the refund but I had evidence to back up my claim so they had to admit the refund and now they are being difficult. So I am very annoyed and I am going to try to get my pound of flesh.
