thumper63 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Thanks guys. Greatly appreciated. It seems like it was just 3 to 6 months ago that I was 22 to 27 years old. Now I'm older than my Dad when he passed away. How the hell does that happen? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, very, very little I can just hear a faraway mosque in the early morning when sleeping with open door upstairs. Very bearable level, and even adds to the charm !

I went to pay my AIS fibre a couple of days ago using the previous months bill because they are always late. Handed the bill and 1000 baht enough to cover the 851 baht monthly payment only to be told 1,200 baht ( I have rounded up the actual amounts ) "No that's not right I always pay 851 baht." " Sorry, no your 25 % discount has now ended!" ( and increase is more than 25% ) When I discovered that having responded a couple of times to suggestions from AIS to increase the speed at modest additional cost (now 300 megawhatits) I gained a discount that only lasted 12 months. I said to the girl at AIS on the phone to a superior "Please tell the person that you are speaking to that unless they reinstate my previous monthly payment I will cancel the package here and now!" After a further short discussion on the phone the girl ends the call and writes a note on my bill. "Sorry, amount you pay is back to 851 baht per month. "Thank you very much." says I. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've made a diary note for when mine next lapse .. I'm on a very satisfactory deal with Sky, which I thought was for one year. That year ended 5 days ago. I phoned them before that and asked what would happen. I was told it would just continue on the current basis. Maybe a bit early to be 100% certain but it appears that that is correct.
