cnxgary Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Due to Corvid the 3bb kiosk at Kad Suan Keow is closed as I assume all are for how long who knows. To keep from being disconnected for not keeping up on payments where does one go to pay? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Pilotman Posted April 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 5, 2020 all 7/11's , Tesco Minis, Mini Marts and Big C minis around me are open, no issue paying bills or buying supplies. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante99 Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 When I do go I pay about 4x or more times the billed amount when possible. That way I have a credit which will be available to pay future bills without my going anywhere. Works great for phone company long distance paid at the post office but not possible for everything. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneeyedJohn Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Got my new card from 3BB that u use to pay in a 7-11 etc, but I messed it up taking the laminate off so the wife went to see if it would work in Tesco, no problem. only 10 charge but 7-11 charge 15 baht, robbing gits. I was paying 749 for 200/200 I think, but my speed was nowhere near that, so once the year contract finished I told them to change back to the 631 per month deal.

As my old and revered finance lecturer used to say, 'pay all bills as late as possible, Why give free money to utility companies and deprive yourself of the interest and the cash flow'? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Convenience and economy. Cheaper to make one trip and pay one time payment fee than it is to make multiple trips and fees. True because bill is small compared to cost of transport. Even a large company experiences costs for making a payment which could be prohibitive for making $10-20 payments. Your finance lecturer was most likely correct in the advice about paying large bills. He was also talking about a time when you actually did get interest on deposits which mostly does not apply now. Nobody is getting 4% on their working capital accounts like we were 20 years ago when your finance book was writen and many are paying because of negative interest which is quite widespread. So I have a some thousands of baht out in advanced payments, total less than 10k. The interest on that is a few stang or nothing and the effect on my cash flow is nil. If a few thousand baht is significant for your cash flow, you need a new job. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And 3BB probably have a call centre still open, call them and ask where you can pay. And if you have on-line banking ask the 3BB person to give you their bank name, a/c name and number etc. You can set up such payments on internet banking in 1 or 2 minutes.

Most of my bills are paid by automatic charge of the credit cards. 3BB paid manually by cc directly on their website - no extra charges and no travel expenses. But anyway, you probably have to go out from time to time, so why not schedule your payment accordingly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
