What did you have for breakfast?
Growing up, we never had "store bought" jelly or jam, we often got free fruit, and my mom canned. Smucker's has a lot of flavors, try the boysenberry or the apricot. -

Any US Social security recipients out there doing direct deposits?
Posting date/time to your Bangkok Bank acct would be the same...the 3rd of the month. As talked earlier in this topic if using the ACH transfer method for your pension it will need to go into a special/restricted Bangkok Bank acct that only allows "in-person" transfer-outs and also no debit card is authorized for this special/restricted acct. However, you can do online transfers into the special acct but you can not do online transfer-outs. And if you already have a regular/unrestricted Bangkok Bank acct if you start having your reoccurring govt pension (like your SSA pension) go into the regular acct at some point Bangkok Bank will spot that and then block the incoming govt pension payment....put it on-hold for approx two weeks giving you enough time to come in and open a special/restricted acct for incoming govt pensions. The bank will notify you by letter. If you do not come and open the special acct Bangkok Bank will send the pension payment back to SSA....ditto for later incoming pension payments. You do "not" need to have a Thailand/overseas address onfile with the SSA. And Bangkok Bank is the only Thai bank with ACH receiving capability since the payment is routed thru their NY branch (which is a license US bank) onto your in-Thailand Bangkok Bank branch. However, if using the IDD transfer method (which uses the SWIFT system instead of the ACH system) the pension payment can go into a regular/unrestricted acct, have a debit card, can do online transfer-outs and -ins, etc....no special/restricted acct required. The acct the pension goes into can be with "any" Thai bank (to include Bangkok Bank) and must be a Thai baht acct; can not be a Foreign Currency Deposit acct since the incoming payment will be in THB vs USD. Payment will arrive on the 3rd of the month. You will also need to have your Thailand/overseas address onfile with the SSA. -

The lynch mob is certainly getting fired up over this one. Five year bans , life bans. and now calls for what would basically amount to a summary execution. No mention of him being hung,drawn and quartered though ...yet -

Which serves as a very good reason to 'keep your mouth shut' while out in public. Many who find themselves in trouble in Thailand often do so because they fail to control their mouth and argue with the wrong people in the wrong area. They're naively ignorant of how readily a situation can escalate to a boiling point in just a split second. -

Interesting thread, now I would have thought these offices would have learned their lesson by now, especially risking job, pension and how much it cost them to get their position, over a few quid...... 😱 -
