So AirAsia lost left my bag in Hong Kong
It's still not arrived in my hotel in Kanchanaburi
RBS have locked all my cards
My phone is in my bag
So I can't call them to open the cards
I went to Bangkok Bank to withdraw money using my passbook in Kanchanaburi
Closed already
I left my ATM card with Jear so she can pay my bills before any of you ask where my card is
I asked the stupid effin taxi driver to take me to the Bangkok Bank in Bangkok before I came to Kanchanaburi
He took me to head office
How effin stupid are these people
So anyway, I walked in to the Royal River Kwai Resort
And they informed me that due to a technical malfunction, they are unable to take credit card payments for at least twenty-four hours
And when I explained that I had very little cash with me due to BKK Bank being closed
They offered me a free taxi to the only BKK Bank in the area that's open on a Saturday
I'm a jammy bastid
Just sayin'

Now if your passbook had been in your bag too you would have had a problem. |

^^ Yup - I always hold my cards and books in my hand luggage.
I can't believe the bank stopped all my cards, they were working ( maybe too well ) in Macau and Hong Kong.
I'll call them as soon as my phone arrives, which AirAsia says will be tonight.

Probably the Macau connection , lots of money laundering and junket cash things going on in Macau and the bank may suspect your cards have been stolen and used there.

I'm waiting on my phone arriving so I can call them. I did tell them before I left Scotland that I was going to Macau, giving them advanced notice usually helps. |

Get jear to send you western union. You might even get a free t-shirt.
Most online banking has a little section that you can enter your travel details in.

All sorted now - I went to Bangkok Bank this morning and got some money, then called my Scottish bank and had my cards reopened. "You spent £700 in two nights in Macau, £1100 in five nights in Hong Kong." "Aye, I told you I was going to HK and Macau, is it not on your system." "Aye, it is, oh, I mean, yes it is." "So why did you block the cards?" "Cards?" "Aye, the two of them, you just blocked both my cards for what reason?" "Cos you were spending in HK and Macau." "Aye, but I told you I was going to HK and Macau." "I can see that." "So?" "Sorry." "And another thing, I spent more than £1800 in HK and Macau, I spent cash too." "Really?" "Aye, The Moll has got expensive tastes in wine, £80 a bottle you know, but to be fair I spent £110 on a bottle of Glenmorangie." "The Moll?" "My part-time girlfriend. Whenever I want to remind myself of the pain of being married, I give her a call." £80 a bottle of wine is painful." "I know, and we're going to Dubai next week, say a prayer for me." |

You are effin lucky, when I call my bank its usually an Indian or Pinoy that answers. Next time get a black Amex card, no such ploblems. |

Delighted to say I had a direct number to Edinburgh, hence how the call centre girl said "Aye, I mean yes," |

Remember Sitting Bull or whatever his name was boasted about drinking TB under the table, , famous last words. I'm fine as long as there is no sneaky late night train journey involved. You've got to watch that bastid. So long as its fun I will last the journey...if its not I will be out of there quicker than <Fantasy boy> gets his hospital gown off between PM's. I heard he was terminally ill and close to the end....but it seems he has made yet ANOTHER miraculous recovery. Must be his sixth liver and twelfth heart transplant. What an utter <c**t> he truly is. |
