It's probably 18 mths old, so the Mark-Up is probably 5.5% to 6.5% now, and the Access fee is 250 baht. The Mark-Up fee is misleading because they don't show the net conversion rate after deducting the fee. I always select NO, Continue Without Conversion to get the better VISA conversion rate from my home country bank.</description><enclosure url="https://assets.aseannow.com/forum/uploads/monthly_2026_06/SCBATM-NOwithoutconversion.jpg.2e8dc49da024d7ce63371f226e8cd136.jpg" length="74743" type="image/jpeg"/><pubDate>Sun, 07 Jun 2026 14:48:54 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Single retired men</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396192-single-retired-men/?do=findComment&comment=20541949]]></link><description>Tennis, kayaking and snorkelling are fun.

Not sure why this is a surprise, someone mentioned its been this way since 1945.  Similarly Australia's government aged pension is indexed only if you are in Australia OR retired in a country with reciprocal pension system, like India (these are often included in trade agreements) but its also means tested, your private pension is yours to do with as you wish of course.</description><pubDate>Sun, 07 Jun 2026 14:44:27 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Single retired men</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396192-single-retired-men/?do=findComment&comment=20541945]]></link><description>Enjoy pretending to being Ian Thorpe aged 67.</description><pubDate>Sun, 07 Jun 2026 14:41:48 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Sikh Killer&#x2019;s Racist Lie Left Dying Student In Handcuffs</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395890-sikh-killers-racist-lie-left-dying-student-in-handcuffs/?do=findComment&comment=20541944]]></link><description>The report claims it was briefly sung by a Few Everton fans , it It wasn't common amongst numerous sets of supporters.

Anyone that doens't live somewhere, endlessly posting about that somewhere, is seriously twisted. Talking about low-quality people... take a good look in the mirror.  You bring up swimming again. You seem obsessed with the topic. No one does laps for fun. Few exercises are actually fun... but if you swim hard enough, you can't be bored as you'd be too busy sucking air... It's hard work, unlike when you doggy paddle across the pool, pretending you are swimming. It's how good you feel after the swim that is the point, and it's good for your body. You should try it sometime... I mean, real swimming.</description><pubDate>Sun, 07 Jun 2026 14:27:16 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Members Poll: REMOVE  the Emojis ?</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396206-members-poll-remove-the-emojis/?do=findComment&comment=20541935]]></link><description>Apparently the algorithm has just recently been changed so that thumbs down doesn&#x2019;t deduct points from reputation score</description><pubDate>Sun, 07 Jun 2026 14:24:33 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Single retired men</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396192-single-retired-men/?do=findComment&comment=20541934]]></link><description>This emoji malarkey really seems to be bothering you.
