  1. Thanks for the reply.  We've been to Pattaya several times since 1981, and have a good understanding of locations, and we have our own transport, so anywhere within 10km of the sea would be considered.  However, knowing a place from holidays is totally different from living there.  With inflation to think of, our basic starting ceiling would be around 20,000 per month (without add-ons for water & electricity).  We are past the age for regular nightlife, but a stroll to a local bar or restaurant would be a bonus.  We also don't rule out a 2 bedroom property, but we don't want a 2 storey house, we've had enough of climbing stairs.

  2. We are both in our 70's and have been living in our own 1 bedroom bungalow, 40Km from Chiang Mai for 30 years.  We are forced to move from this house, and are considering a move to long stay rental accommodation in the Pattaya/Jomtien area.  We would prefer a 1 bedroom bungalow, but would consider a 1 bedroom appartment.  No need to be near the sea, but would appreciate at least a 7-11 nearby.  Any recommendations of areas to consider and a guide to rental prices would be appreciated.

  3. I transfer from Barclays UK into my Bangkok Bank account once a year via online banking.  Cost is 22 pounds per transfer, no charge at Bangkok Bank.  Transfer is done in Sterling, with conversion to Baht using Bangkok Bank exchange rate.  Within a minute after confirming the transfer, and before disconnecting from the online banking, I receive an SMS from Bangkok Bank stating the amount credited to my account.  It's as good as instantaneous.

  4. The amount shown in the bank book is the net amount after the deduction of the charges.  The SMS that is sent at the time of the transfer shows the gross amount, and the net amount.

     

    I was merely trying to say that the difference in exchange rates between direct transfer and transfer through Wise was negligible at the time of transfer.  It is more convenient for me, but others may prefer to be in control of the timing.

  6. Thanks for the link to the previous thread, however it didn't work for me, but something changed my sync time.

     

    17:55   Before changing the router setting, I checked the time of last sync "10:56:21" which was the time i managed to sync this morning.

     

    I amended the router setting as indicated in the thread, and restarted the router.

     

    When I went to the settings page to try to sync, the time shown for my last sync was 16:51:00

     

    Trying to sync just produced the same "unable to sync" message.

     

    In my case I should always be able to switch ISP servers when I want to sync the time, but it's still a PITA.

  7. I bought a new PC a few months ago, the time was synced in the shop, but I've never been able to do it at home.  I've tried changing the time server and checking that the appropriate windows services are running ok.

     

    This morning my 3BB service was down for a short period and I switched to my backup TOT service, and I was able to synchronise the time with no problems.

     

    Anybody know if it's 3BB or the modem, that's blocking me?
