  1. 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.
  2. 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,
  3. Can't tell whether you will get a different rate, but for looking up EUR it works exactly like I had withdrawn two times, https://www.visa.co.th/en_TH/support/consumer/travel-support/exchange-rate-calculator.html Just now, 28 March 2026, 1 PM An example of withdrawing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:
  4. Please use emoticons for your jokes like 58 years.
  5. 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.
  6. Isn't it time to close this thread? All numbers ridiculed by the massive increase of today 26th March.
  7. 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.
  8. Seen too late. In the news already. https://aseannow.com/topic/1390665-fuel-prices-rise-6-baht-per-litre-as-subsidies-cut/
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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/
  12. 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.
  13. Which visa date? Just did a screenshot from the mobile. "Stay Visa Expire" is of course the date on which your one year extension ends.
  14. It's ages that I was in Tenerife and other Canary islands but I would also be surprised if it's that bad. Canary islands are not that cheap like the Mediterranean
  15. Is this an actual option or just meant as a joke?
  16. Nice. So opened an account in vain to be closed next year. Stupidos. I used digital banking even before internet banking and they want to declare me senile!
  17. Already seen yesterday afternoon. And not only Diesel was raised. 33 Baht is the "starting" price. 0.5 more is usual up here.
  18. Just come back from the district town (western part of Khon Kaen). 95 easily available, limited to 1000 Baht, price rise to 35.5, E20 pump is waiting for customer and still at 30.6. 91 haven't checked. On the way in PTT was empty of Diesel vehicles. On the way back it was crammed. An eagerly awaited supply had arrived.
  19. Answer from Kbank is hardly worth a dime. Just a long general list of requirements for account opening. And the question about the purpose of that "additional document" is not answered. No mention of an address. I could take this for granted and order me a new ID card (without address) for 2xxx Baht and then go to Kbank. And then? Try and error?
  20. What I said, seems not even stop lights / flashes. And independent from the ground controller: full stop and a careful lookout as you would do on crossing any major road.
