I didn't notice, sorry. Where did he post it?
I conduct all my regular Thai internet banking transactions on the same day at the beginning of the month so I didn't notice until today.

And the ridiculous exchange rate they give you. Use Aeon if possible as you will get the same as XE and 150 baht atm charge.

As you have now moved to Thailand Feret, why not open a bank account here, top it up with sufficient funds for a few months, then withdraw at any ATM for free?

I installed the Kasikorn App on to my smartphone the other day, today I got a call from my Insurance agent reminding me that I had not paid my annual health insurance premium and it was overdue. I couldn't be stuffed driving into town to do it so I had a look at the App. Opened it, clicked or touched on Bill Payment, it said "scan barcode" so I scanned the code on my bill from AIA and up it came on my phone screen, the correct amount, account number etc of the Invoice. I touched 'Pay Now" and it was done. I will be paying all my bills this way from now on I imagine.

I guess it must be a similar application to that which I have on my laptop although I don't have a barcode scanner (I have to type in the information the first time, after that it is automated).

I have a system. At the beginning of every month, I pay all my bills. Kasikorn has a "pay on a scheduled date" system (not that it makes the slightest difference but why should they have the money early). Then it's done for the month, no worries. For annual payments, insurances etc., the provider never fails to remind me.
The odd thing about Kasikorn is that their software does not permit them to settle bills of less than Bht 100.00 so my Bht 65.00 monthly phone bill causes hiccoughs.

Why not overpay it for 2 months then you will be marginally in credit at month 3

I pay Bht 300.00 and then it lasts me a few months (4.6)

Look out Yorky, you are at risk of losing your true Yorkshire values.
I initially started the Bht 300.00 payments because each transaction (to AIS) was costing Bht 20.00. That is not now the case.

This morning I made some internet transfers from Bangkok Bank to accounts with other banks. As recently advised there were no transfer charges. However, I noted that there was only no charge for immediate payments. If one wanted to set up a payment for a later time there was a charge shown. See below, and beware.
