  1. Another GPS victim. Google maps ist by default set to show route for car. It's not that easy to find the route to the airport for motorbikes.
  2. How similar. Haven't seen this BBC cr.p but seems they used the same methods like German public TV (compulsory financed) in a documentary about Pattaya. The hub of paedophiles and forced prostitution.
  3. And enough for a big funeral celebration and some compensation to the survivors.
  4. Unlikely that Windows 11 could be installed smoothly. "Old"/"Windows 7" sounds like it will not fulfill the requirements (whether you like them or not).
  5. Couldn't agree more. They even risk a banking storm where people rush to empty their accounts. I myself will stack at least 100k in the safe.
  6. To my understanding a teen(ager) is a person up to 19 years old? Or what is your problem. 19yr can have a valid driving license. In a Merc I call them spoiled brats. Sounds like overtaking near a bridge? Forbidden but who cares.
  7. Please stop it. I get a headache from the nonsense you write. Of course Kasikorn and all big banks have exchange rate tables updated 3 to 4 times a day. If you send with SWIFT the money comes to the the Thai bank in your currency and is converted according to the TT exchange rate of the bank and a fee up to 250 Baht taken.
  8. You can send EUR to Kasikorn Baht account. They will do the exchange. What WISE actually does? Send Baht from a domestic account?
  9. The transfer again went through Kasikorn. Different in sending GBP? At Kasikorn I was sent away to Bangkok Bank. Catch 22. Showed the WISE transfer confirmation with that reference number of Kasikorn. Blank stare.
  10. What does that mean? They are in a list to select from? I have "Wisetag" QR code for whatever purpose...
  11. Just did a test transfer of 100 EUR to Bangkok Bank for long term stay. UNCHANGED BS DEP TRF FR E-CH If I get my mood together I will do another visit at the branch this week and see what I get. Customer service promised to "escalate" with the branch about the credit advice which is a complete riddle to them.
  12. Unlikely but cheapest case: a short-circuit in the plug or cable connecting to the charger. Or as suggest the wall socket might had a short circuit. You don't write that there was smoke from the charger? No bad smell? You have put the circuit breaker back on and no problem? Plug in some cheap lamp or the like at the wall socket.
  13. Good move It's always recommended to plug in the charger before connecting to the device.
  14. If separate booking: Pass immigration (automatic passport scan), pick up baggage if any, pass customs and enter Suvarnabhumi on 2nd floor. Up to 4th floor, check baggage if any, check-in at the airline counter (which?). Move through ID check (4th floor) to domestic terminal and all the rest... It's not a big deal really if connection time is not crazy short.
  15. One typical AN thread. Derailed in a minute. Who the f.. asks about Chiang Rai, Chiang Mai, ....! Simply: if he continues to Udon Thani he has to pass immigration in any case. About baggage? See above. If single booking with one airline he might use transit channel.
  16. I am long time customer of Bangkok Bank and Kasikorn. Bangkok Bank has become a nuisance. My upcountry branch is particularly incompetent. Kasikorn would be the obvious alternative. For Kasikorn I am concerned they might shut down the local branch after they cut heavily into their network. I am tempted to try opening an account at another bank for immigration purposes. What bank do you use for that? All services at any branch? One year statements on the spot? Issue "bank letter" confirming your account type and balance? Internet banking easy to get?
  17. No I don't . Monthly transfer and fallback is letter from consulate STILL available. Uncertain whether they will follow other countries.
  18. SWIFT likely. And even SWIFT should not take that long!
  19. Unseasonably warm. Maybe. But scorching really made me grin.
  20. The headline case: He seems to be one of the resident Indians? Understands Thai and "resides" in the same area. Makes it even worse. Of course he should get maximum punishment not only some warning.
  21. No later than next month after my one year extension I will take measures. Minimizing at Bangkok Bank and maybe even repatriating money. More cash in safe becomes an option. Who.would have believed that they can destroy trust in their banks.
  22. Has the daughter checked with the Bangkok Bank branch? Was it a large transfer? Approx amount?
