Analysis Thailand in Trouble: Expats Exit as Vietnam Steals the Show
Just keep away from Hoy An, it is one of the most terrible tourist rip off joints I have ever been to, absolutely manufactured to extort as much money out of tourists as possible. As far as everything else, I'd go back again tomorrow, loved the people, the place and (some) of the food - no, not all of it! -

Analysis Thailand in Trouble: Expats Exit as Vietnam Steals the Show
Going through Vietnam immigration is a formality. A stress-free, even welcoming experience. Going through Thai immigration is like waiting in line for a rectal examination. A cold, hostile experience. But Thai culture is relaxing, polite and considerate. Very easy to live in. Vietnamese culture I find hard to put up with for long periods. Vietnamese people seem to exist in a world where only their experience matters. If it isn't negatively affecting them, it isn't happening at all. This seems to be changing among the younger Vietnamese, but it's still in the general culture. They aren't deliberately rude, it just seems like the concept of being considerate of others doesn't exist. Bunking queues, littering, being noisy at 2am or 5am, any time whatsoever. The experience of the people trying to sleep on the same floor isn't a concept, they will shout down hallways at 5am, bang doors, make all the noise they like. I stayed in a hotel once and woke up at 6am with staff scraping paint off the skirting board in the hallway, there's no way anyone on the floor could have slept through it. On a number of occasions, different hotels, different cities, different years. I've been woken up by staff seeming to have a jovial staff meeting, at 6am. Full of laughs and conversation. Not a thought given to the fact people are trying to sleep. There's a lot to like about Vietnam, but I could never call it home, after a while, I need to get out of the place. And when I arrive back in Thailand, I breathe a sigh of relief, but not until I'm finished having my ass examined by the b!tch at immigration. -

Is paying the bar to take a girl out of the bar justified? Or just a scam?
Where do you have this from? No girls have dept, the bar keep their money, until payday, and even some bars keeps one month even restaurants pay, so they are not going to run away without notice. BS the girls own the bars money. Trafficking world wide operate like that, but in Thailand at normal bars, no -

Confusing email from SCB. What does it mean?
It means exactly what it says, SCB removed the waiver for facial recognition that was in place for foreign ban account holders, mine was removed on 16th June (it seems they staggered dates, so others were earlier and other later). As of the date they say, you will no longer be able to make a transaction over over 50,000 THB using SCB Easy. If you have to make such a transaction, you must call them and ask permission, once granted you have one hour to make the transaction, a call has to be made for every single transaction over 50,000 THB. It is possible to transfer funds up to 49,900 THB to the same person, to a maximum of 200,000 THB per day, essentially 4 transactions. Email received from SCB by another customer: Firstly, we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused and for the delay in our response. Regarding your email, SCB has canceled the facial recognition waiver in order to comply with regulations set by the Bank of Thailand. At present, our system does not yet support facial recognition for foreign customers. Once facial verification becomes available for foreign customers, we will make an official announcement and invite foreign clients to complete identity verification at SCB branch again. You may continue using the app as usual without visiting an SCB branch for facial recognition, as long as your transfers do not exceed the following limits: - Up to 50,000 THB per transaction, or - A total of 200,000 THB in transfers per day For transactions exceeding these limits, please be advised of the following: If you require a temporary bypass for facial recognition, you may: - Contact the SCB Call Center at 02-777-7777 (press 9 for English), provided that you hold an active SCB debit card with PIN verification. - If you do not have a debit card, please visit your nearest SCB branch with your passport and bank passbook to request the exemption. Please note: The temporary bypass is valid for one (1) hour and will be automatically canceled thereafter. However, you may request this exemption as often as needed. Alternatively, you may also complete your transactions through other available channels, such as ATMs, CDMs, VTMs, or by visiting any SCB branch at your convenience. We sincerely appreciate your trust in SCB to assist you. If you have any further inquiry, please do not hesitate to contact the SCB Customer Service Center via email at customer_service[at]scb.co.th, available 24 hours a day. "Please take care of your health during this period of frequent weather changes." Yours sincerely, SCB Customer Center
