Agree 100% A few topics/posts that are still relevant to me. Otherwise I could give it up completely.

Nose test, balancing That will add to the fun in Pattaya 🤣🤣 I suggest flamingo test (standing on one leg.) with closed eyes. Try it 😁

I said nothing but asked what your statement refers too. What means too late?

What's off the shelves?

Won't tell how much cash we have stocked up 😊

Wife has already stocked up on soy bean oil, coconut milk, soy sauce, oyster sauce. The food as such (poultry, pork, beef) should be available locally for long. Fish almost unlimited. Rice from the family land in tons. Water always for two weeks or so. Worst case: drink filtrated water from the 5 gallon tanks (used for coffee and cooking anyway). Just electricity needed to produce. What's toilet roll 😁 Could stock in kitchen paper rolls.

Get this message since days. Now daily 400k Transfer 100k Payment / topup 50k I couldn't care less about this bank since last September. They are in the competition for the most stupid rules etc. Their facial recognition is a PITA. Limit for facial requested is 50k. Current frontrunner: Krungsri, no more internet banking after the age of 70.

Checked again for today (29 March) for Bangkok - Dubai on Emirates. Three flights departed in time. Two already arrived in time. One in the air. Second one of the day:

I look up serious sources and that's what I cited. This poster type piece of art that you link is of no value for me. "Emirates" "closed" is simply nonsense. Limited and certain routes canceled is another thing.

Four flights daily. All arrived, none canceled. About one third with delays max 1.5 hour. A mate from Hamburg found it worth to tell me yesterday that Emirates from DXB has landed in time. Sidenote: another mate booked for next Jan - Mar from Germany (Duesseldorf) with Qatar for 600 EUR. Call it the price for the fearless 😁

All I know is that another Indian club on the opposite site had burned down completely some years? ago and been rebuild (The Nashaa Club). I had seen the remains. The Kamaa is the big one at the corner of Soi 16 and WS. Hot Indian corner so to say. In the old times an interesting spot (Katz, Boesche, X Zone?...). All gone.

32.706 Would be a fairly good moment to withdraw. Currency market rate is 32.86. Overall: 30000 / 924.9 = 32.43 As far as I know the VISA rates are updated only once daily, The difference can be much bigger depending on time of day,

Can't tell whether you will get a different rate, but for looking up EUR it works exactly like I had withdrawn two times, https://www.visa.co.th/en_TH/support/consumer/travel-support/exchange-rate-calculator.html Just now, 28 March 2026, 1 PM An example of withdrawing 30000 (+250 Thai fee) with 0% foreign bank fee:

Please use emoticons for your jokes like 58 years.

Math is so unpopular 😁

It's day/month/year. Not Berlin Pharma but another made in Thailand drug: 16th July 2027 No Bhuddist date ever like in some other fields e.g. plane tickets etc.

Isn't it time to close this thread? All numbers ridiculed by the massive increase of today 26th March.

Yes a wave of price increases to expect.

Be aware that fuel prices are heavy manipulated by subsidies. They simply can't burden the huge deficits. Which countries subsidies buying Diesel trucks used for personal transport? Which countries subsidies Diesel fuel preferring over other fuels? Diesel cars banned from cities by European exhaust rules.

And the hoarders can consider themselves winners

Seen too late. In the news already. https://aseannow.com/topic/1390665-fuel-prices-rise-6-baht-per-litre-as-subsidies-cut/

Daughter just pointed me to the significant fuel price increase overnight. Not seen such numbers during a decade or so. Guess will be in the news shortly. Gasohol 95 at ~ 41. Diesel at ~ 39. Add about 0.5 in the provinces.

Two vessels actually. nationthailandTwo Thai vessels clear Hormuz, Bangchak ship first throug...Sihasak says two Thai vessels have now passed safely through the Strait of Hormuz, with Bangchak’s ship the first, while the fate of three Thai crew members on the Mayuree Naree remains unconfirmed.

Some relief in sight 😊 An oil tanker has passed the strait of Hormuz heading to Thailand for BangChak. https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/thai-tanker-safely-transits-strait-hormuz-after-talks-with-iran-2026-03-25/

Will close account next year. For day to day payment stuff I still have Bangkok Bank. For foreign transfer I want to stick to Kasikorn. Hoping the WISE changes won't go silly.
