Cheapest way to cold call/contact clients from Thailand? any ideas?

Haven't been as active on here of late, last week the old bones and body decided to have a heart attack! I am ok, have been in hospital for a week, but back in the apartment resting up after a couple of stents were inserted into the old ticker. The day it happened, was a lovely day, nice and bright and sunny, had a great seafood lunch, went for a walk around a temple and on the way back felt like crap. Went to hospital had an ECG (but no blood test, big mistake) went home, feeling better, decided to return the next day for blood tests (elevated Tropinin levels) to be admitted to the cardiology ward. The following day on the operating table! Morals of the story? Well first of all look after yourself and get checked up regularly! Ensure you have adequate insurance in place, the school I am working for part time, has insurance, the claim is in, I am waiting to hear back. The initial outlay I had to cover. For the hospital stay, drugs, food, bed, and treatment including the stent procedure (not recommended!) came to £3400. Now in rest and recoup mode for a while, although I feel pretty good now, everyone is screaming "rest"! The silver lining is that it has made me sit up and smell the roses, knowing that, although my employer is being super good, I would be concerned on extending contracts for someone who just went through what I have. So the focus is now firmly set on speeding up (whilst not increasing stress levels) the step to having the online shop for my products, plus searching for high end students for one to ones online.

I am currently based in the UK but hold a Thai bank account with Krungsri - Bank of Ayudhya. My issue is that in order to move money from Krungsri to my UK bank they want to send an OTP (one time password) to a mobile number However that number can't be an international number. Which means from the UK I am unable to approve any transactions. I have tried everything including visiting the branch in person but they will not accept a UK mobile. It may be time for me to switch to another Thai bank. Has anyone else encountered a similar issue? Can anyone recommend an alternative that doesn't make international transactions a complete headache?

Just saw a Western couple walking their Dalmatian up a Thai street, and it got me thinking... Why do so many expats move to Thailand only to live in a bubble? They rent big houses, buy cars, and even import their cats and dogs. Once they're here, they don't bother to learn the language and exist in this sort bubble, completely detached from Thai society. They're literally here just for the low cost of living... ...and I'm surprised the Thais put up with it. These people think and act as if they're still in the United States. They bring their rude behaviour and expect the Thais to adapt to their cultural norms. They're so clueless that they don't even process that this is an entirely different culture and that they are looked upon like complete fucking weirdos. Then they have the nerve to complain about how they feel outcast and want to know why the Thai people won't grant them easy access to citizenship, etc. Truth be told, they have zero fucking interest in becoming Thai; all they're thinking is 'save money, save money, save money. Ponce, ponce, ponce. It's quite sickening really. These two cultures are vastly different in almost every single way and this isn't just annoying... It's a problem. It affects everyone who has made an effort to integrate, those who have married into Thai society, had families, etc. Because every foreigner gets lumped in with these leeches.
