Anonymous participant 178 a lot of fakes when shopping online. If Lazada and wanting original quality make sure to select LazMall at the top of the page of results from a search.

I think the brand name logo doesn't change so is easily identifiable. Just use Google Translate to read the fine print. And yes stick or roll-on deodorant and/or antiperspirant is everywhere.

I don't know but I'm actively trying to find a way out of this and if it means leaving Bangkok Bank then I'm willing to do that

on the contrary the most I have ever converted and sent is the equivalent of 200,000 baht.

I have made the same mistake and on leaving through immigration was referred to a senior officer who explained the situation and said not to worry as she would allow this to pass without fine or note in my passport. Maybe explain upfront when you get to immigration.

true it doesn't seem worth worrying over but at the same time the poor exchange rate because of the strong Baht makes me hold back until the rate improves. Inevitably it doesn't and I am forced to make the transfer at the last minute only to find that it's held up for 1 to 3 days the higher number being at weekends.

Because the transfers for the past 12 months have taken seconds. Another reason is that money in Bangkok Bank earns next to zero interest so I would rather it sits in my overseas account for as long as possible hence my tendency to make the transfer just before I need it. Everyone's needs are different.
