    The best coffee cafe in Pattaya

    in Pattaya

    Posted

    Lots of good coffee around.  I agree about 7-11.  I enjoy going out for a coffee in the afternoon.  People watching at Amazon next to the Soi Bukhao market is interesting.

    But, in reality even at 30 b it is way over priced compared to making at home. I can buy Bon Cafe or some others on sale for around 150 b. I can get about 25 cups out of a bag. So, the price per cup is approx. 6 b.

    I know the owner of a popular restaurant in Central Pattaya he said he encourages people to come in for a cup.  As, he makes more off a cup of coffee then most entrees.

    Wondering sometimes when I read the comments in here, how many have served in the army, and how many have served in active duty in a real conflict zone.

     

    or ever experienced a true physical conflict at all. 

    Most probably not.  Weak, woke and twisted thinking.  Probably from "neutral" countries yet all they do is scream for help when there is a problem.

    Dr. Varichaporn is good, but not a surgeon.   She will do checks and biopsies, but not surgery.

     

    Another place mentioned on here told me not to worry about a basil cell on my nose.  I got it rechecked in my home country and surgery to remove it.  The Doctor there said it was fairly wide spread and was growing into my nose and it was good I had it removed.

     

    Also, on MOHS the Institute of Dermatology in Bangkok will do MOHS.  The price is very low.  But, they are mostly rookies in training so buyer beware.

    First the facts:

     

    a). Does your wife know where the bank book is kept?

     

    b).  I'm guessing it's a joint savings account but was it set up so that:

          b)1.  - Both parties need to sign all documents (mainly meaning withdrawals)? or

          b)2. - Only one party needs to sign any document including withdrawals?

                    (It is possible the bank might have a maximum withdrawal amount for each

                    transaction.)

     

    If it's b)2. Some banks follow the idea that if one party is still alive and that's all that's needed according to the setup of the account, she just goes ahead and signs a withdrawal / several withdrawals to remove quickly the funds.

     

    Another point; If the bank is not told you are now deceased, then if the wife presents the bank book and a withdrawal slip signed she has signed then there is no reason why the bank would not allow her to withdraw the money; just one withdrawal or several withdrawals over a short period of time.

     

    Perhaps you could talk with the bank manager, your wife must be present, and good translation provided if needed, to ask whether she can sign alone after you are deceased. And at the same time check if there's a maximum amount for withdrawals. And preferably equest the bank manager write and sign and have witnessed a short note as to what can happen with the bank account.

    The OP said she is a signatory on the account.  He did not say it is a joint account. A Signatory has limited access to the account management while the account holder is alive, not the same as a joint holder.

    To be clear, a Signatory cannot withdraw money after the main account holder dies.  It is illegal and like I mentioned before, she could be prosecuted for theft.

    He needs some documentation provided to the bank as to where he wants the money to go when he dies.
