  1. But in this case: 6 kg of this worthless health degrading palm oil stuff??
  2. What's the punishment for that in Doha? Guess why I am asking 😊
  3. But civil war in the US would be much better armed.
  4. I wonder how much more it needs to stand up in Germany. Public media financed by compulsory fees tries best to keep the lid on the pot. But the right winged party still gaining.
  5. The difference that I see is the amount compared to the other posts. 15k$ is about 480k Baht. I do monthly transfers to Bangkok Bank less than 90k Baht. Kasikorn is a while ago.
  6. 2 km on a bicycle? No way today. Far too exhausting. In the village kids on bicycles have become a rare sight. Instead they have all kinds of electric scooters. Not roadworthy. For the bigger distance to secondary school there is a "bus" (truck built as a songthaeo). One or two in the morning. If you want the full traffic madness: look at a provincial capital like Udon where an armada of cars, SUVs and kids on pillion carts the students to the big secondary schools.
  7. Yes. 15 year old can do a motorbike license and then ride a 110 ccm legally. That's why a Honda Wave110 even exists. Most all adults will buy a 125. As so often it doesn't make much sense. The 110 ccm can easily do 80 km/h or more.
  8. Legally they are obligated to have a proof of address for every customer. I had to provide proof of address in Thailand when opening the account. I used a letter from the German state pension office. Letter from company pension/payroll was not good enough.
  9. Iranians are in the strictest category needing to apply for visa before travelling. So I would assume he fulfilled conditions for a certain short stay? But as often people just waste their money on chicks and booze and find themselves broken. As another poster writes, he has been around Nana Bangkok for months? Does someone really believes he is on legal stay?? Authorities obviously uninterested to act. Another candidate for endless stay in detention prison? Cheaper on the beach
  10. Currently I can access iHerb without problems from 3BB. As described I had changed my DNS settings.
  11. Don't spoil the mood with facts 😁 Fukushima was just a "lid flying off". And what does Japan do? Fukushima has reactors in operation and no plan to shut down. Just the opposite. Tchernobyl was the result of total incompetency. A "nightly test run" going wild. Fukushima could have been less catastrophic if not handled incompetent.
  12. Siam Paragon mall needs more power than a complete province in the poorest regions. Bet Icon Siam will be no less.
  13. I transfer money using WISE to Bangkok Bank since years without problems. Last one was on July 2nd. I also see "002". Kasikorn is "004". (that's the two banks I have accounts with) But your big misunderstanding: A standard WISE transfer has nothing to do with SWIFT code. WISE uses a completely different method. I guess these 002 and 004 are WISE specific numbers assigned to different Thai banks. Before your thread I didn't even notice these numbers. And what can be more clear then "Bangkok Bank Public Company"? (WISE can do SWIFT transfers on request but that's an exception)
  14. Completely normal. At the firework festival here last month bystanders smoking and watching the big one being stuffed with black powder.
  15. So now it makes sense why some Thais try it illegally through the green border.
