CharlieH Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Home depot /bank restriction dont blame Thailand for that. Use a VPN and you wont have a problem (usually). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, weird that HomeDepot block Thailand but not Malaysia, Singapore etc. US banks seem to do all sorts of odd things with international access. @garyk which bank is giving you grief?

KhunBENQ Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Thailand has a bad reputation for having a lot of cyber attackers, infected computers etc. So some website admins take the "easy route" and block all access from Thai IP addresses. It's not limited to US websites. Occasionally appears on sites from other countries. Multiple threads/complaints over the years here. A VPN is an essential helper when using the internet from Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a VPN and using my home country as the ISP the bank approval went through straight away without any problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavideol Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 not only thailand but majority of south east asia countries have problems with internet access, my SSA account can not access from Thailand ..... the safer way, as it was advised, is to use a VPN and it will go without a glitch, I use Express VPN for the past 6 years not a problem, maybe MOD will not let the name of the VPN thru, let's try anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psimbo Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 "POS Thailand. What is next." Moving to a place where your life is not dominated by the Internet? If you need to trash a whole country for a couple of minor issues maybe you should stay in Murka where EVERYTHING is bigglie best (or not as the case may be).
