Not even bothering to chuckle. Not worth it. But I will edify you for free. "Normal countries write day/month/year..." Baloney. No such thing as a "normal country." The Chinese, one fourth of the world right there, write the date starting with the year. As do the Japanese. As do the Koreans. As do the Taiwanese, etc., etc. But in the end, it's each culture's prerogative and nobody cares what somebody else does. I certainly couldn't care less how Brits do it. Only those obsessed with America and letting their inferiority complex get the best of them feel compelled to deride someone else's custom.

@John *******

Your inferiority complex is showing.

@David *********

They've certainly asked me. Can and does happen to many. Often.

It's okay. The sactimonious "tw@t" came in flailing about, instantly picking a fight with three different people. And like too many of the brain-dead ne'er-do-wells wasting away his days on a bar stool with a local hag on the stool next to him hoping he'll buy her a drink, he won't. He'll self-righteously spend other people's money for them for the cheap thrill he gets from finger-pointing in a public forum, but it's all fantasy. "Tw@t" is the type who should be the last person touching anybody''s money. Including his own. No wonder the bar hag is the only one who will give him any attention. If she only knew he's probaby the least generous, most hypocritical of all the denenates starting early in the entire bar.

He can hustle them the same way guys stick fake watches in our face.

Okay, good tip. Many of us allowed ourselves to be taken in by Google, but I duly note your pointer about Outlook. 👍

Except when they don't convert. Gmail sometimes just sends an error message that the file size was too big.

Add me to the growing list of people telling you that your blithe dismissal of OP's issues is off base, unhelpful and misinformative.

@Eric *****

See Brandon's answer below, though he was a bit gruff today in his reply.

@Brandon ***********

Your answers always are very informative, though maybe you had a bad day because you were a tad short with Eric Allen just because he's a newbie and doesn't know the ropes. The vast majority of these threads usually talk about the 800k sitting in Thai bank accounts and it's easy for a newbie to not realize that discussion is for those already in Thailand trying to convert their status.

Through the official Thai consulate in your country. Beware of many shady agents using websites designed to look authoratarive (which Google sel-selfservingly returns as results before showing the official Thai government site.)
