BKK is notoriously antiquated in their processes and procedures. KBank is just the opposite, perhaps with the exception of their facial recognition system, which is a total nightmare.</description><pubDate>Mon, 29 Jun 2026 16:44:27 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Wise problems</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397348-wise-problems/?do=findComment&comment=20575668]]></link><description>Oh now you change the story, so not gonna waste any more time on you. When did you say your wife send transfers to BBL, and that they are NOT FFT marked?    Wise partner banks in Thailand are Bangkok Bank, Kasikorn Bank, Siam Commercial Bank (SCB), and Krungthai Bank.  Bangkok Bank has been caught with major corruption, so they now do a lot of internal controls. For example block your money used for extensions for several months etc.</description><pubDate>Mon, 29 Jun 2026 16:43:20 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Cambodia jails US teacher 10 years for child abuse</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397634-cambodia-jails-us-teacher-10-years-for-child-abuse/?do=findComment&comment=20575667]]></link><description>Of course. You said it yourself. 1) You don't even know what the guy exactly did, there was no trial. But you judged him already. That's called a lynchmob. 2) You plead for killing. Supporting killing is ethically worse than paying young male prostitutes. 3) You also smear other posters by stating intentions they don't have ("harm innocent people"). Nowhere have I said he wouldn't deserve punishment.  Therefore it is obvious that you are morally not on par even with a guy who readily accepts a 10 year sentence for perhaps just 20 times sex.</description><pubDate>Mon, 29 Jun 2026 16:42:26 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Welcome the refugees</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397658-welcome-the-refugees/?do=findComment&comment=20575666]]></link><description>It was 2.7% in 2001, then 4.4% in 2011, and 6% in 2021.

What is "naturally" here? Did you miss the recent murder case where a 17 year old Thai willingly went to the room of an old foreigner? Do you think she found that "unnatural" at that point? So you are just ignoring part of reality. Rape is by definition if s.o. is taken sexually by force/violence against their will. I don't know how anyone capable of a language could let it happen that this word can now be used for consensual intimacy. That's ideology. And that's why the question remains unanswered why it should suddenly be different at midnight when s.o. turns 18.   That' just some idea of lazy people who don't want to look at each case individually and haven't reflected their own sexuality deep enough</description><pubDate>Mon, 29 Jun 2026 16:33:34 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>What Dish-washing Soap to buy in Thailand?: Or make your own?</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397701-what-dish-washing-soap-to-buy-in-thailand-or-make-your-own/?do=findComment&comment=20575663]]></link><description>NO. NOT Shallow....  My wife, back in the 70s, was the perfect exemplar of the Chinese Version of The Girl from Ipanema...only... Far Better.  Why did we lose the days we might have spent together? Sometimes, we lose things we most love, just due to not realizing what we once had, at that particular time?  She tasted so great, too...   So sad, so sadly......  We were once deeply in love. We were hot.  These days, I listen to Take Five, sometimes, just to recall the excitement she and I often experienced together... Back in the Day.....in places like NYC, Philly, and Hong Kong.....   So..... So much, for a Soapy Massage..... How could such a thing interest me after what I had?</description><pubDate>Mon, 29 Jun 2026 16:30:45 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Scotus sides for the Dem's, news</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397727-scotus-sides-for-the-dems-news/?do=findComment&comment=20575662]]></link><description>Supreme Court rules ballots arriving after Election Day can be counted, in win for Demswhich now begs , Time for the SAVE America ACT .  https://nypost.com/2026/06/29/us-news/supreme-court-rules-ballots-arriving-after-election-day-can-be-counted-in-win-for-dems/</description><pubDate>Mon, 29 Jun 2026 16:29:20 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Wise problems</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397348-wise-problems/?do=findComment&comment=20575661]]></link><description>So how do you explain that transfers from my wife's Wise account to our joint BBL account take 24 hours+ but transfers to her own Kasikorn account are virtually instant.</description><pubDate>Mon, 29 Jun 2026 16:29:11 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Over hanging trees</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397726-over-hanging-trees/?do=findComment&comment=20575660]]></link><description><![CDATA[Not sure if this is the rught forum, we have a rubber tree farm next to out land/house, problem is the branches break off and drop on our roof plus we get rodents &amp; snakes using them to get onto our roof as well. The branches extend a 3 or so metres over the roof, in Australia they would have to trim them back so they are within their owm property but neither my wife nor I have any idea if there is anything we can do, if one of the much bigger branches comes down it will cause major damage. Does anyone know what our rights are as many thai land owners tend to  ignore anything that requires them to do extra work, the trees are planted only a metre or so inside the fence line because they like to use all their land, on our other block their palm trees have broken our plumeria/frangipani trees when their fronds fall because they refuse to cut them, its the same land owner, ideally he needs to remove the trees that extend over our land but I doubt that will happen but to remove all the overhanging branches would be a huge job, the overhang wasnt there when we built.]]></description><pubDate>Mon, 29 Jun 2026 16:27:07 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Kasikorn Banking App can see other apps on my phone.</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397603-kasikorn-banking-app-can-see-other-apps-on-my-phone/?do=findComment&comment=20575659]]></link><description>Maybe it cannot see other apps, but it can see the settings of the phone</description><pubDate>Mon, 29 Jun 2026 16:17:24 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Wise problems</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397348-wise-problems/?do=findComment&comment=20575658]]></link><description>I think you don't understand how Wise works. They have bank accounts, with a balance, in about every country in the world. If you, or your wife, initiate a transfer from the UK you transfer your money to a Wise account in the UK. That money doesn't go anywhere from there. Wise will use money already in one of their bank accounts in the country of the recipient to complete the transfer, so it takes seconds.  If you request that your transfer is marked as foreign fund transfer, Wise can not do that, so they have to transfer the money from one of their accounts outside Thailand. Most probably their Singapore accounts.  Correction : I actually don't think Wise has those account in different country, but they use a handling agent (don't know the correct name for that) who has those accounts in all those countries. I also believe they make use of different agencies depending on which country the recipient is located.</description><pubDate>Mon, 29 Jun 2026 16:16:15 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>What Dish-washing Soap to buy in Thailand?: Or make your own?</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397701-what-dish-washing-soap-to-buy-in-thailand-or-make-your-own/?do=findComment&comment=20575657]]></link><description>If you say so, Sir.  However, as of this moment, I am simply DROOLING OVER what her bod once was, in the early 70s.....  She surpassed anything you might see, these days, with very few exceptions, here in Thailand.  I had the best, Sir.  And, what is it that is often said, and which is so true?  "Once you've had the best, who needs the rest?"  Somehow, I just, at this very moment, am agonizing over my wish to return to those days, and do her, once more, and have her do me. I would give anything and everything I have to be locked, just once more, in loving embrace with her, for one long night.  Do you understand my agony, Sir, dealing with my memories of her?  NOTE:  We are not talking about some SOAPY MASSAGE girl, with a bottle of Dawn, and a tub, in Pattaya, Sir....!!!!

"We Are Marxist-Leninist-Maoists in DSA: Democratic Socialists of America is the largest socialist mass organization in the United States, with dozens of members holding elected office, and thousands of members engaged in active grassroots participation in movements that have and will continue to shape the world that we live in for the better. However, as Maoists in DSA, we believe that ideological and political struggle can not be shirked and Comrade Mao&#x2019;s call to combat liberalism must be heeded and taken seriously, otherwise opportunist and revisionist trends will arise and rot the soul of the organization. Therefore, we operate under these principles and call on all revolutionary communists working in DSA to unite with us.  https://www.liberationcaucus.org/points/</description><pubDate>Mon, 29 Jun 2026 16:08:25 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>What Dish-washing Soap to buy in Thailand?: Or make your own?</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397701-what-dish-washing-soap-to-buy-in-thailand-or-make-your-own/?do=findComment&comment=20575654]]></link><description>The shallow sentiment was yours ... sir.</description><pubDate>Mon, 29 Jun 2026 16:07:02 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Thailand Immigration Flags Overstayers But Struggles to Act</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397620-thailand-immigration-flags-overstayers-but-struggles-to-act/?do=findComment&comment=20575653]]></link><description>Just like the current banking headaches, they are trying to punish the law abiding foreigners instead of actively pursuing miscreants.
