Pit bull heroes defuse tense road rage incident (video)
KhunBENQ replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
That is the unfortunate truth. In Germany they are often owned by "special characters" who mistreat them. That's why they landed on some red lists and either be mandatory muzzled and on leash or forbidden to own at all. Some states do test the owners fitness to own dogs. In the US I see them being left alone with the baby. -
For WISE? No. And don't access with a VPN! I had two problems in recent time with logging on. The first one was due to the fact that I forgot to switch OFF the US VPN on the mobile. So it was "suspicious" after years of logging on with Thai IP. The second one was at my usual unsociable hour of about 5:30 AM. This was indeed a problem at WISE as they showed on their status site. https://status.wise.com/ (see June 12 and planned maintenance for tomorrow) Apart from that I cross my fingers. No unusual problems. Fee rise is always unwelcome but still moderate. I don't know what that is but seems unrelated to WISE? And you don't consider you have a problem with the laptop and/or network connection?

I have asked mods to move the thread to Health/Medicine forum. It would be helpful if you could explain what "syringes" stands for. I guess combined with some medicine/drug to be injected? Can you name it.

Thai govt warns of monsoon mayhem, brace for floods, heavy rain
KhunBENQ replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Is it common practice here or in your country that the "government" distributes weather warnings? -

Cross your fingers. Forecasts (compare to above) show even less. Come back to thread in five days. -

What northeast? ? Again completely different from what worldwide forecast centers show for us. Even the usually bad forecasters show a max of 10 mm? Wait and see. -

My friend Lekgo from the village shop. Grumpy, no cuddler but not aggressive in any way. When I pass by I feed him some dry food. -
Somewhat useless or misunderstood discussion about the right lane. Was sure not his first day in Thailand. Not fallen from heaven. Maybe at 3:20 AM some "spirit" made him forget about habits here and overlook the big fat markers on the road. Just coming back from a trip to Udon. Waiting on the main road at the red light. Motorcyclists swarming across the intersection at any given direction or light. Against the direction is so normal. Grannies on scooters, youngsters on pimped bikes. whoever, wherever.

Baht’s the password? Thai gran’s costly slip leads to 105k bank loss

Come on! Less than an upper-class iPhone will make Thai brats of today cry. -
Baht’s the password? Thai gran’s costly slip leads to 105k bank loss
KhunBENQ replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
Writing PIN on the card. Admitting to make it easier for the bank to slip out. Eight days to notice the loss of the card. And what does she expect now? Some people should neither have any electronic banking nor a card! Even the infamous birthday PIN is better than writing on the card. -
Passport copies for retirement extension?
KhunBENQ replied to proton's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I am looking forward to do next extension on the monthly transfer method. As I never had planned to do so in the past it's a "daily use" account and the one year statement might be 2 meters long 😄 I already started to do minor stuff with another account. Another praise for KK, never such meaningless harassment. Copies of what is relevant and that's it. -
A 6 year old Pattaya thread might not get too much attention by Phuket experts? Why not start a new thread for Phuket?

I had edited after your quote but yes it will be long weekend with big influx from Bangkok to Pattaya. The topic starter did not mention he is Pattaya.

I consulted THE reference (https://www.myhora.com) And it's all more complicated. Saturday 20 July: Asanha Bucha Day Sunday 21 July: Khao Phansa Day Monday 22 July: compensation day I feel OK to be corrected but both July 20 and 21 are alcohol ban days. A complete lost weekend for the entertainment businesses.

This term "Vassa" surprised me. Correct for some countries but never heard here. In Thailand it's usually referred to as "Wan Khao Phansa" (transcripts differ). And your calendar is somewhat wrong as Khao Phansa is on 21st of July this year, a Sunday. Just trying to figure out what date is correct Wait for more..

I hate any online storage of payment methods/details. From time to time I search through my accounts to clean up (that includes Google). And I use foreign credit card online only when unavoidable. Domestic stuff all with domestic debit cards or QR code payment. I still don't understand why people who live here use and carry around a foreign credit card. In 12 years only had my German credit card locked once. I have only a vague idea why: ordered stuff at a US online store, paying in Thai Baht with the German (EUR) card. Maybe this triggered some alarm. Although the purchase went fine?
