Re: Alternatives to Facebook

There should be a small 'Arrow Down' like this > pointing down, in the top right hand corner of the post. Click this and you get a drop down menu. Within this menu you should see something like
'Unfollow (name of poster) Click this ...........Job Done.

Re: Office chair and or Office table

A bit cheeky jumping into this thread I know but I am also looking for a decent preloved chair. I leave UK today 27th and arrive in HH tomorrow night. A pointer in the right direction to buy new would also be a great help.

Please PM with details and price.

Re: Thai bank account on a tourist visa... possible?

Hi joejoe,

The code I used is KASITHBK as supplied on an info slip from the bank. Cost of the transfer was THB350 for transferring a couple of grand, it took 2 days to make it to my account.

Re: Thai bank account on a tourist visa... possible?

I opened an account at Kasikorn in Market Village when I was over there in January. I used the hotel name and address. Very easy to do, they didn't ask for any proof. I have internet banking and have just this week transferred a sizeable sum into it from UK via Currency Fair.
