Tried hard on the last page of Bangkok Bank book but I can't. SCB also has no watermarks that I can see? But on the last page of SCB there is some mystical plastic sheet attached. That looks interesting but no idea what it would do? It has some "wave like structure" and very fine dots printed. I also assume that this is some sort of protection from fakes? It's not simply plain unicolored.

You can see the watermark (logo and name with an ordinary torch light shine through (from an old cancelled/punched book). Would have been wiser to picture from an empty page of a current book. Too lazy. Probably they still use UV light which might be much more clear and viewable without shine through?

Are you sure that your signature is checked? I doubt it. How would it get there? When opening the account you do two signatures on a thicker separate sheet which is then removed and added to the files at the bank. BUT still interesting: I fiddled with a (smartphone) torch and actually you see that the sheets of the passbook are watermarked! I think they just check for fake passbooks? I will add some photo.

Biometric ID machine to enter Bangkok building.

But my belt buckle is detected reliably. I hate taking the belt off. Let them check manually. -
No it's surely not the same. Assuming AlkaSeltzer has the same contents everywhere it comes with "Aspirin" (acetylsalicylic). The Aspirin part is likely for hangover headaches? And that is not part of ENO.

Pink ID card Klong Toey district?
KhunBENQ replied to WorriedNoodle's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
You already have a 13 digit citizen ID as shown in the yellow book. And that is usually the difficult part to get. Now you want that pink colored card. If you still live at the same district and go to same office that should be fairly straightforward. Take your yellow book, foreign passport and ask the office. Picture will be taken on site. -
Biometric ID machine to enter Bangkok building.
KhunBENQ replied to JimmyJ's topic in General Topics
This country can hardly handle proper biometrics at the immigration checkpoints (where it is clearly labeled as such). And you think that the local Makro, Lotus, Central stores your face biometrics and then? Compare it to what? Get your real ID from the Chinese, from Mark, from where? Sorry but this threads drifts toward conspiracy stuff. Have you covered your notebook camera (like Mark does) and smartphone punch-hole? If not you should not worry about cameras in Thailand. And maybe you should open your eyes to see the zillions of cameras in this country who go unnoticed. It's not (yet) China where your nightmare is reality. -
Might simply be the end of another bank branch as so many others. Handing over swept clean.

These cameras are at so many places, just that YOU don't see the screen but only the security staff. E.g. at airports exits, entries. At Central also but you don't see any result screen. A mate was alarmed about such a thing at our local LOTUS. They record me!! I told him: use the other entrance where the simple infrared thermometer is out of order since months :>>) -

The Makro infrared thing just outlines my head with a green square and shows temperature. Where do you take the idea that your "biometrics"(!) are recorded(!). Do you think it's connected to immigration, interpol, FBI, CIA....? Whole body does not make much sense. The face is the base. Ouch! Makro records my biometrics When next time they send me someone to fill the cart with "my" stuff I will be sure. -
Complaining about no interest? Invest in Ruble Prime rate raised today to 20%.

My experience with "choc-blok" (control box for deep well pump) Even proper twisting and putting a cap on is better than these.

As another posted pointed to, the Ruble fell sharply this morning. It had it's 0.9x value until 2014 (Crimea annexation). From there going down to around 0.50. Through the last days it lured around 0.38. This morning another sharp drop to 0.31. Do the comparison to your currency to get an idea what that means. Would expect that the downturn continues. Some exchanges in Thailand have stopped buying Ruble. The 10 year chart:
