Thanks. Interesting. I found hat when I did it the way you describe, it took a very long time for the money to get from my bank to Wise.

I guess you just have to experiment a bit and see what works best.

It could be a difference between US and UK banking.

I've never tried using a card. I have a two step process: • First I transfer funds from my US bank (American Express) to my Wise account. That takes a few minutes. • Then I initiate the transfer from my Wise account to Bangkok Bank. This can take many hours. I guess that holding on to my funds for a...

According to my confirmation e-mail, mine took 6 seconds yesterday. and that is pretty normal. I find if I transfer at weekends or bank holidays, then delays often kick in. I just avoid those periods these days. Well, mine was on a Thursday, not a weekend or, AFAIK, a bank holiday and it still took...

I'm wondering how those of you who get instant transfers manage to accomplish it. Here's the timeline on a transfer I did this week: Thursday 7:06 am - You set up your transfer Thursday 7:06 am - You used your USD balance Thursday 8:54 am - We paid out your THB Thursday 1:13 pm - Transfer successful...

Thank you. I think I'm set. The small rattail file worked fine.

Mr. DIY? No hand reamer at Mr DIY but they did have some very small rattail files with handles that I think will do the trick. Thanks again for the suggestion. Trouble is, once I get in to that place I could spend many hours (and lots of money). Fortunately, this time I got out for 109 baht and in ...

Good thought. There is one close by.

Thank you. I'd seen those, they seem quite expensive. But, in pinch I might go for that. The similar one on Lazada from China is 70 baht plus 38 baht shipping: https://www.lazada.co.th/products/wellhot-3-13mm-bridge-pin-hole-hand-held-reamer-t-handle-tapered-6-fluted-champ-i3890554051-s14921408962.h...

I'm looking for a hand reamer something like this: reamer.jpg I found online, but only shipping from overseas for delivery in July. Home Pro here in Korat didn't know what it was. I'm sure they must be available locally. Any ideas? Aside: I thought the same thing about a basin wrenches as well, but ...

We used to stop at the one in Petchaburi on our way to Cha Am. But, we've found that the newer one in Cha Am is a much nicer store with better meats and produce and a bigger selection of all sorts of foods. The one item they don't have, though, is All-Bran. Why it's missing from their shelves is a m...

It’s really hit and miss isn’t it? The other day I was at the Mall, Korat and spotted a single can of Relax, a hazy New England IPA by Offshoot brewing in Placentia, California. It was delightful. I’ll probably never see it again

From Untappd: "Characterized by floral, fruity, citrus-like, piney or resinous American-variety hop character, the IPA beer style is all about hop flavor, aroma and bitterness. This has been the most-entered category at the Great American Beer Festival for more than a decade, and is the top-sel...

Hua Hin beer is brewed by Thai Spirit Industry, the contract brewer in Chachoengsao. The Untappd entry doesn't have much info other than that it is a lager with 5% ABV. It has one rating of 3.75 out of 5. That reviewer's description (translated by Untappd) says. "It looks more flavorful. The be...

I recently purchased a beer at a bottle shop here in Korat called 586 West Coast IPA. It was a bit too citrusy for me. But, the interesting thing is that it had no tax stamp even though it was brewed by The Craft Alliance in Singapore. Any ideas on how they managed to circumvent the import tax? Anot...
