massage girls don't really get many customers to begin with so getting hit and ran is a real kick in the tits

So I emailed green bank about the fees for receiving intl. wire. Here is their reply

telex rate seems to be 0.4-0.5% worse than xe.com rate

200-500 baht per transaction at 0.25% transferred amount so anything less than 80k baht will get charged 200 baht, 80k-200k 0.25% of the amount anything over 200k will be charged 500 baht

plus if you are outside bangkok (???), extra 20b/time + 10 baht per 10k so another 0.1%

so if i deciphered that correctly, a 100k baht wire to my phuket based acc would be charged 0.4% ish + 0.25% + 20baht + 0.1% = 670 baht

so i guess she forgot to mention a fee or two or the telex rate is usually a bit worse because it's never been that cheap

^^yea gotta go back and pay them a bit extra, don't be a dumbass.

anyone with ED visa still getting "harassed" about language skills at the (airport/bkk) immigration?

been studying quite a bit lately, a lot of fun

Woah finally some action! I once did a runner from the gogo without paying. I was drunk and super tilted about how long my 1k bill was taking so just left.

Eventually I went back and payed it with no problems and its definatly the best thing to do.

bitcoin and you can sell the BTC if you need/want with circle

for accidental hit and running, go back and pay+tip, if for some reason you think they are angry and might over react, perhaps send a friend to pay and apologize

If I were to go on a moto road trip for a week or 2 around thailand and sleeping in my tent, where could I leave my laptop and extra clothes/shoes during this? Or would I have to pay a week or 2 rent just to house my few possessions? Assuming I didnt have a friends place I could leave em at

lol

My daddy said its ok to leave at his house if you promise not to bareback mom, my sister or the dog.

Also told me to tell u to make sure u tip the girls this time and not be cheap bastard!

I'd just like to thank the handjob guy for making me laugh my ass off. If you go back to shame pay them can I please go with you?

that would be funny to see the massage girls reaction... shame pay lol

Would that be the 400 thousand dollar house or your troll dungeon?

Does 150 baht for the pill count as tip?

who do yall think dunnit?

You know some good jokes for the BIB's?

seriously swimmin do you intend to sleep in a tent by the highway in issan or on someone's cow farm/ rubber plantation. when hotels to shower in/ creampie poor girls and not give the morning after pill to 50% of them/ plug in your laptop and make money are 170 baht. camping you'll eventually be noticed and hit up by police for a fine

ive done wilderness camping in the most remote parts of the world before, like in the mountains, I doubt I'd be discovered, id only be there from sunset to sunrise

A friend of my wife's boyfriend from France was recently denied a new account at Kasikorn. They told her he had to have a work or other appropriate visa and not a tourist visa. Not sure if this is related but FATCA compliance should be coming soon. They said by the end of the year even after the coup. So may want to be careful if you have a lot of money in an account over here and are not reporting it to the IRS. For U.S citizens anyway

If you get denied at one branch, just try another...

Not all green banks will let you open an account without WP

like everything in thailand their applicaiton of laws and rules is pretty site dependant.

Anything works. They are not fussy. Tell them the bribe you'll give them today is gonna be low because this massage girl just emptied your pockets. All of ur pockets. They'll love that ****.

It still cracks me up everyday in Thailand when I leave the house the mental checklist i have to make. Keys, wallet, AC off, small bills for bribing police in case I get pulled over.
You can't go walking out of the house with only 1,000's.
Does tilt me how 7-11 never has change in the drawer for 1,000 though. Always have to dig under the counter. It's like 25 euro, wtf?

trololol?

1000 baht is more than 10% of the average monthly salary of a thai

and it's probably a good idea to hide the excess cash somewhere where so some meth head doesn't get so much when they come rob your store

tip for ATM use. don't draw even thousands. instead of 10k, take 9900 so you'll get some smaller bills as well

Yeah I was gutted the other day when I got pulled over for driving without a helmet and all I had was a 500 Baht note. The officer instantly gave me a big ****** smile and I knew what time it was.

Couldn't help but smile when I read this. I can so easily picture it.

You can camp at temples also.
