  1. Or visit a doctor in his private clinic after hours. Most start at 5 PM. Saturday all day like 9 to 5. Sunday until 12. But your friend should know and you can hopefully trust her. More than 1000 Baht is hardly needed incl some . medication.
  2. Visiting during COVID in Dec 2021 was a good experience although it was impossible for me to find certain locations in Kata/Karon that I had been in the late 90s. Sep 2017 during offseason with a mate was also fun. Driving a rental car. But from what I read here and elsewhere there is nothing that attracts me for another visit. Maybe 21 was a final goodbye.
  3. It's deep off season. They must be desperate in searching for income sources.
  4. What is really annoying: I had built up a list of known recipients in Easy Net. This list is unknown to the app which has a separate "Favorite" list. So much recommended: do a printout/save the list of recipients in SCB Easy Net.
  5. You can discuss up and down, they clearly show bank note rates are applied for the calculator. And for that the result is "correct". Whether this is a clever move or whether it should be more flexible is another question. Or simply look at the exchange rate table of Bangkok Bank and do the math your own. Thai Bank TT rates are always worse than currency market rates that you can check e.g. at xe.com And then still: simple DKK*rate can not give the accurate result overall. Fees from sending bank can't be known easily. Fees deducted after conversion from Bangkok Bank are 0.25%, min 250, max 500 Baht, One of the advantages of WISE, you clearly see what you will get (example above).
  6. Ok, I could have guessed. They spell themselves Srinagarind (not much to any rule). Huge complex. was there a few times when the granddaughter was hospitalized.
  7. Excuse my ignorance: but where/what is "Singradgrad"?
  8. Yes. Done x times. Usually confirmed same day/next day. (if it's not your first ever report but I guess you know)
  9. Oh no! Not an annoying AI passenger commenting my driving style
  10. Bualuang (Bangkok Bank): Notifications and Camera. Nothing else. K-Plus: Notifications, Camera, Photos Videos(?), Music and Audio(?), Location. (no access to contacts) The latter one might be worth trimming down about Music and Audio and Location.
  11. SCB Easy does not require/have access to my contacts. Never requested. That "easy" Mr. Smart. Why they request location? I will give it a try with disabling. ... And it works fine without location. If you were smart you would have a thousand ideas where your spam increase comes from. I am not here to study your list of apps. It's about SCB Easy (and maybe other Thai bank apps).
  12. They are doing anesthesia in those glitzy shopping center clinics. Would I believe they have a qualified/experienced anesthetist on site? Anesthesia is not child's play.
  13. It's inconvenient but necessary for a proper test. Just a little bit is not enough.
  14. If they have proof that the warning lights and the alarm sound didn't work they can come back and complain. Otherwise it is just another case of "why bother". If they were on a motorbike they would even ignore the barrier and swerve around. They should be thankful not being crushed by a train.
  15. You should better provide proof for this hysteria. And you are certain that it not just was Kasikorn handling the payment. Happens on other sites too. Can pay with any other card.
  16. Both the website and the app are the worst/ugliest among the three that I use (SCB, Bangkok Bank, Kasikorn). On the app I hate their hysteric "security measures" like forbidding copy/paste, screenshots. I had to disable USB debugging to use it! But still a lazy move to save some cost for maintenance. RIP
  17. Three persons positive . 14 not having an ID with them. A resounding success.
  18. Seems like. It's the first time that I stumble upon this name. There are numerous sites where you will rarely meet a foreigner.
  19. Can only give general advice: "don't put all eggs in one basket". Cash AND card. Better two cards in separate pockets/bags. One single ATM card (VISA? Mastercard?) can give bad surprise. I read that ATMs in Italy (still) only accept 4 digit PINs which should be OK for VISA and Mastercard credit/debit cards? If you have Dollar cash give him that. Buying Euro here will likely give you worse result/rate. But as a safeguard you might consider buying a small amount of Euro cash here like 300 Euro for a start (taxi, food etc.). Prepare for the worst (sending via Western Union in an emergency, very bad rate). Don't know whether it's true but I read that Italy is still cash centric (similar to here). So don't expect that a credit card will be accepted anywhere.
  20. Can you explain what this "currency calculator" is? I usually just look at the exchange rate tables/charts and see DKK with very low fluctuation to the Baht. https://www.bangkokbank.com/en/Personal/Other-Services/View-Rates/Foreign-Exchange-Rates Yes, it looks like they show bank note rates?? As described above there is a serious issue caused by the Nordic national banks. As you want to do an electronic transfer(?) these rates mean nothing to you. TT rates are completely normal. DKK is about 5.01 to 5.05 Baht today. The bank note buying rate is 2.50!!!
