In Topic: Atm/Debit Cards. Is This True?

SCB shouldn't charge for any Internet banking funds transfers from one account to another of yours within the same branch...

And generally speaking, AFAIK, they also shouldn't charge for transfers from one branch to another SCB branch in the same area...though I've never had reason to do that, so I'm less sure on that issue.

Ah I see. What I did was transfer from Bangkok to Pattaya. I asked them about it today and they said that transfers between branches in the same province incur no commission charges. You only get charged for a branch outside your province.

Don´t keep all your money on the account attached to your debit card. I have two bank accounts and I can, without any fees, transfer money from my savings account to my debit card account, and never keep more money in the account than I can afford to loose.

Which bank is that? With mine, the SCB, they charge commission if it's to another of their branches, though I haven't enquired if that's also for a second account at the same branch.

But yes I agree, that seems to be the best option, apart from having the card set up only for ATM withdrawls. But I don't know if that's possible with SCB???

I need to collect a letter and then take it to the embassy so if the post office is closed it can't be done. Thanks everyone, you just saved me a wasted trip.

Actually they have been available in the USA for quite awhile now.

Some high end models like Kohler have inline heaters to warm the water...pricey of course as are most of Kohler products

Non heated types are about a tenth price wise

There is also a heated non electric for a low price....(plumbs to your hot & cold water line

They look ok but for me a hand held is better as I would worry about the sprayer unit being in the toilet & subject to getting ....splashed with waste
:rolleyes:

Which I would guess is why a normal bidet bowl is a separate unit from a toilet

That's a different one. As the name states, "Elongated Toilet Seat with Bidet Functionality". It is elongated, extending down into the bowl, whereas the one I used in Delhi is so built that it doesn't elongate into the bowl but remains level with the seat, not extending further out. It took a day or two before I noticed it was even there. So no possibility of getting "splashed with waste", anymore than a regular seat would.

Many people I know are vegetarian when travelling in Asia.

I spent 4 months in India last year and had no stomach problems whatsoever, thanks to a vegetarian diet. Which is no great sacrifice really, as Indian veggie food can be incredibly tasty.
