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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Currently I can access iHerb without problems from 3BB. As described I had changed my DNS settings.

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.

Siam Paragon mall needs more power than a complete province in the poorest regions. Bet Icon Siam will be no less.

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)

Completely normal. At the firework festival here last month bystanders smoking and watching the big one being stuffed with black powder.

So now it makes sense why some Thais try it illegally through the green border.

The Ambanis (India) - 100 billion short of Elon - wouldn't go out with such cheap stuff 😁 Also about 5 million but $$$:

Ha! Just tried the original address on the PC and get the cloudflare warning. For now just the mobile address: https://m.livetv.sx/enx/ Can well be used on the desktop. (no idea how long) I tried I few links and they all led to some youtube stream? Not so "dodgy".

I remember that Cloudflare also does DNS service. What you can try as a fix is setup Google DNS. I myself had a problem that a site could not be found/opened. Fixed with changing DNS server.

https://livetv.sx/enx/ Opens fine on my Android mobile. 3BB fiber. Chrome browser. Redirects to a mobile address: https://m.livetv.sx/enx/ What device do you use? Which internet provider you have?

And Dengue much more to fear/likely than this blown up monkey pox. Funny fact: German PC language police ordered shortcut to "Mpox" No suspicious associations please.

And of course anyone who is in the country can do topup at the machines (or other means) for you (AIS 12call).

I remember they had a 3 Baht extension only? DTAC now dissolving to True. Maybe changes ahead.

Absolutely agree. You get a warning when balance runs low. And even if you empty it out the SIM/number is not lost immediately. If it's empty you can only do emergency calls or the like. Then(!) after a year or earlier(?) the SIM is deactivated and the number can be newly assigned (which will take another time span). For 12call you need a minimum topup of 10 Baht for a one month extension. Can use the orange machines and pay 12 Baht (2 Baht fee). Other topup methods will require a higher minimum like 20 Baht.

Cloudflare is much more and a huge content provider. And obviously they also provided (mirrored) the content of the site you want to use. (like they do for Aseannow) Blocked? Maybe by court decision? Site taken down? Without a name the discussion remains academic. Maybe google the site name and see whether there is news about it.

Another title might draw more attention? Like: Payment methods for EV charging (BYD)

And next time a child falls into that "drainage shaft"? What exactly is it? Another open hole on the ground?

Two threads in one. Did I get it right? You have a new passport and that was not registered at immigration and the bank yet? Very interesting that the hotel's registration at immigration goes through to the bank? Fully networked?? I get a new passport till end of August. Sounds like first rush to immigration and then to the banks? Can't help about EV charging.

Close to impossible to move inadvertently.

You better gather some information. Switches turned off after takeoff!
