It isn't just the Thais who sometimes give you bad service, In the past week it has taken me the full seven days to get my intinary from KLM for my trip to the UK. I paid through bank transfer.

 

 I had to keep chasing them up, it took me lots of emails (to their credit they always answered them) and a lot of hassle before I eventually got it.

 

Then we had Transferwise who also took a full week to transfer my funds from the UK, again lots of emails and phone calls before my funds reached my

Thai bank, and cost me around 1000 Baht as in that week, the Thai baht dropped by about 50% of a Baht.

I guess everyone can pile onto this thread with their own version of misanthropy. I have a simple explanation. Shit happens.

Not the worst problem. Some people died today.

Are you sure you weren't dealing with KLM Thailand?  ????

Stop worrying. I did £1600 yesterday with Transferwise, arrived today, as an FTT. If I had done it today to arrive tomorrow I would have got Bht 750 more. That's 10 big beers !

No, it was KLM themselves, just shear incompetence.

So because people die, I should not complain and let people know about bad service?

OK, some people are going to die today, so I should not complain when someone jumps the queue

at the ATM, someone else gives me change for 500 Bt instead of 1000 bt, I should just allow it because

as you say "some people died today".

You're on the wrong poster amigo, slam another cold one and re orientate yourself. I'm the one who commented after he did concerning the dead people. My point was dead people don't whine because they don't give a shit.

Yes, nothing like a nice cold glass of milk for this non drinker.

Your last sentence is nothing to do with what I mean, you are actually saying that people dying are more important that my complaints, which of course they are, but that does not mean to say I cannot complain about being given bad service etc.

Amazing people have these problems.

I purchased a ticket back to Korea on my phone in f

A few minutes while being threatened with denial of entry at Suwwanabhumi airport and forced to wait on a chair in a corner of the vip/airline crew entry line.

Do you not have a credit card?

 

But if you went to Amsterdam, had lunch, a few drinks then some shopping all would be fantastic, try that in Pattaya, would be padded bills, wrong food, shouting for attention as all staff are on their phones and a possible punch up thrown in along the way.....so comparing apples and pears really

Why not Visa or Master Card?

I have UK and Thai Visa and Master debit cards, UK one is expensive, so in my experience Thai banks are greedier than UK banks, so only use debit cards for convenience.
