Is there a limit on the bill? Mine often dips over 5k. If not, what is the process to set it up? Also, can the same be done with a water bill?

cracker1 Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Back a few years PEA website allowed me to pay directly from my bank but that system does not seem to work now ? Plenty of mentions about Bangkok Bank internet payments but anyone know how to pay from SCB account ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ54 Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 In the village someone comes around and collects your money and you get a part of the paper bill for receipt. Once the person came by and I didn’t have cash on me tried to tell them come back the next day. One day the power was off and couldn’t figure out why .... someone called PEI and they’d taken the meter off. Took 2-3 days for them to put it back.

Works well. No app/phone stuff to deal with. Spam is becoming a real problem so the less tentacles you allow businesses to wrap around you the better. Allowing businesses to bombard you with annoying advertisements through SMS messages and Apps is awful. I just want my bill paid and to be left alone, thank you very much. And you trust a Thai Bank to take money from your account when they choose ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tchooptip Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 "Apple users need to switch country to Thailand to see App in App Store" Yeesss... and if you do that all the Apps on your iPhone will not be able to update any more, free-one or not. Apple does not give a damn, it was and is well known on Apple forums of many countries! it is also possible to have a message on the Appstore of your country only available on the Thailand store, do you want to go?, Yes. Then once on Thailand Appstore, a new message "You are not authorized to buy on this store" I had the same problem with the Shopee Thailand App... Impossible with my Apple account.

The legal form you sign guarantees consumer protection and I challenge you to show one case where a bank stole money from the consumer for a bill auto payment. My experience is the system is 100% safe, convenient, and reliable. I have all my bills set to auto payment and it feels terrific. I used to do this in the US and it is just as good here as it was there. Everyone wins. The bank has money in your account instead of being in your wallet, the utilities get paid on time every time, and you kick back and relax and do nothing every single month of every year. And there is no !@*# App. It's perfection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never managed to make the Bangkok Bank version work (on any bills). There is a section labeled Utilities that has the electric and water company. Used it for the water for the first time this month. Haven't tried the electric yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydneyboy1 Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Without reading all the comments. Can anybody advise if you can pay different accounts on the same app. I would assume that it is possible but I haven't downloaded it yet and gone through the registration. TIA for your replies.

It certainly appears that you can. There's the facility to name the accounts so one assumes (unwise I know) that multiple accounts are fine.

NCC1701A Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 any man who uses this app has not seen the woman who you hand your money to at the PEA bill paying kiosk on the top floor of Market Village in Hua Hin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfokevin Posted August 25, 2018 Author Share Posted August 25, 2018 (edited) I have done away with printed receipts totally... Once I get a receipt I scan it with may phone and store it in a receipt manager App which is backed up to the cloud and can be accessed by any of my devices and my computer... I have .pdfs of bank, brokerage and credit card statements as well.. A nd copies of all visa and passport stuff... Btw.. Six months of receipts can be accessed on the App...

Dazinoz Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 (edited) I downloaded the app (Apple) so only in Thai. Tried to set it up but get message, I assume error message. Have to ask someone to help translate. I have included below. I assume it maybe my ID info. I am only renting so does that make any difference as my ID would not be registered with PEA? Again, I assume, that it would not mater as info would come from bill. UPDATE: friend says it is asking for ID or phone number. She said only wants Thai ID number. What do people use here?

It's 13 digits no spaces when you enter it, actual format is "1 2345 67890 12 3" I'm not sure how much actual checking of the validity of the ID it does. EDIT I think the last digit is a Luhn check digit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luhn_algorithm, however this handy dandy tool should allow you create one that works. https://sourceforge.net/projects/thaiidnumcheck/files/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
