I had the same issue after about 10 days I tried to cancel the order - could not - then I messaged the supplier saying I thought they were not in Thailand but China - next day the order was cancelled! Spoke with Lazada about this and my suspicions person I spoke with said "do you have any proof" HA HA I have had several issues with Lazada recently including them not moving money from wallet to my bank in a timely fashion.

Actually, I don't think there web site is that crappy and the support is great they answered a question from me via "contact" in 10 minutes

A word of warning - I can't say if it was just a problem with my branch or a general one but: I had a foreign currency account (Euros) with Kasikorn. When I wanted to close the account and repatriate money , even though I supplied all the relevant info (swift codes etc) the bank could not make the transfer and ended up giving me several thousands of Euros in CASH. Caused me no end of issues as my UK Euro account would only accept bank transfers. Fortunately, I like Spain and used the money on my regular trips there (although even then I had to change the 500 Euro notes which were not well liked in shops at banks first). Anyway down to my last couple of hundred Euros now so a big drag but at least I was able to get my money out..

Not being nosey but where (ie what country) would such an account be registered and would that be the country of the persons residence?

I read your posts with interest BUT as far as IT (including mobiles) is concerned the watchword should NOT be "innocent until proven guilty" BUT "Guilty until proven innocent" That's the safest way to deal with all tech companies.

Only one thing wrong with this statement the word "or" should be "and"

Whilst important, weight is not the only factor to consider if you want to extend your life - for example excessive alcohol, no exercise, smoking, family history. All of these may also be factors what ever you do about your weight.

Only OK - So now you have to go to all the Indian restaurants to see it it was really No5 or had just paid Google for the rating.

Never had to do any of this in the past and don't intend to now. I can do all of this of my laptop before I go to the pub - Oh I never do that either!

Why would anybody click on something they don't know the meaning of. Come to that why would anybody click on those tantalising email notifications from someone they dont know. IT seems to have engendered a cavalier attitude to being careful. Do I trust IT - NO - do I use it YES BUT

My 15" laptop is hooked up to my 42" TV - I can just make out the log in screen????

She looks like she might drain your account pretty quick????

I refuse to use mobile apps where my money might be at risk so I guess I am becoming a leper - refused access to many everyday activities because I prefer security over convenience.

Thanks Everybody - Although someone gave me some here in Thailand I had encountered these in the UK many years ago and I had forgotten the name - your posts helped me find out what they were called then - cape gooseberries. Thanks again

See Picture and Thanks

A Schengen Visa Valid for 1 year with multiple entry issued by Spain. Visa holder visits Spain and leaves Spain to a Non Schengen country - some months later (still within validity of Visa) holder wants to enter a different Schengen country - Clearly the holder has entered Schegen area previously at the "first point of entry" but does leaving the Schengen area mean they must re-enter again via Spain?

What was that film franchise with Tom Cruise called?

Could it be connected with the fact I contacted forum admin in the last week over something???

Me Too been with Thai Visa for over 10 years - I don't have a big rating - but suddenly I'm a NEWBIE

Yes it's true and yet I see a sports organisation is planning a 10KM run in Bangkok January 19th next year. https://www.nationthailand.com/lifestyle/sport/40024571 Get fit breathing in the pollution eh

So just to wrap this up XE versus WISE XE – free transfers except if you under their lower limit (£1000 I think) and then £2.00. This includes Debit card and bank transfers. (Under lower limit charge £2) Up to £1300 rate (especially with no transfer charge) gives better option. Rate is real time constantly changing. Claim 24 hour transfer. WISE - Charges depend on whether bank transfer or debit/credit card More for debit/credit cards versus bank transfers (£18/£12 approx) Above £1300 Wise total transfer (depending on method used) is marginally better at the amount I tried (£2000) but I guess the larger the transfer with a fixed fee the more advantage it has. Rate fixed for 2 hours In my case they claim 36 hour transfer What I don’t know yet is what the charge the Thai bank will make for receiving the money with each company. As I said in a previous post in my case it was almost a dead heat WISE by about 70 baht. So you pays your money and takes your choice BUT it never hurts to have two strings to your bow!

I've just signed up for WISE Apart from hazzles with my Banks fraud checks!! this is what happened: If I paid with a debit card XE was better - If a pay with bank transfer Wise is marginally better (about 70 baht more) (I use bank transfer on XE so I guess Wise wins by a photo finish)

Not mine

So do you have a Singapore offshore account - not being nosey just interested if that's possble.

As far as I know although you can buy many phone brands, since the demise of Blackberry there are only two operating systems on the phones Apple OS or Google OS (Android). So whatever phone you buy its security or otherwise is determined by these two TECH giants
