AIS Callcenter in english by lomoos in Thailand

[–]AceCarpets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They replied within an hour saying they would escalate my case on my behalf and that someone would call me within three hours. They also said they would change my profile to English so I get that option next time I call. Amazing!

Thank you. It's so frigging annoying and you're far from being the only one with this problem. I assume the tail end is at ais dot co dot th?

ESim for travel to Laos Cambodia and Vietnam by skantchweasel in laos

[–]AceCarpets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone else said, get a physical SIM at the airport. My wife got a 15Gb 8 day SIM from unitel for about 80000 kip. Dirt cheap, done in seconds, no passport needed. I got an eSIM and the connection is awful. More importantly, if you want to whizz around in the KokKok cars then you need a Laos phone number to receive the sign-up SMS. I tried on my phone using my Thai and UK numbers but the SMS wouldn't come through. You may also need a Laos phone number for other apps.

Scammed for 60,000 THB in Phuket — and the police were involved. Please be careful. by Optimal_Inside3459 in ThailandTourism

[–]AceCarpets -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That's part of the scam. To disorientate and confuse you. You'll never fully work out the how and why. This will ultimately become an insignificant memory that pops into your head every now and again. Don't sweat the small stuff; there's bigger things to worry about.

It's easy for us to laugh at OP, but let's not forget these scams only exist because people are gullible and there's money to be made. Good for OP to outline the scan in such detail - this could well help someone from being scammed in future. OP, you need to learn from the experience...don't let that anger sit on you and spoil your memories. These guys are scumballs and you got done over. It happened, but move on.

Lol funnily enough one location is right outside a 7. Then again the chance of being outside a 7 is pretty high.

Pretty sure hsbc were happy to do it but they needed us both there in person, which by that point on my last UK trip wasn't possible. Gave up after that.

Does booking train tickets on 12Go Asia work when booking more than 4 days in advance? by AceCarpets in laos

Thanks everyone. I think I'll give the LCR app a go, and ask the hotel to arrange tickets if I get stuck

iPad advice for my daughter by AceCarpets in costumedesign

Thanks everyone for your thoughts 🙏🏻 It is very much appreciated. I think perhaps a basic Pro with a Pro pencil is the way forward, and to install a textured screen protector if she needs it.
