Seriously, the British Embassy should get off their backsides and arrange something similar for UK expats.  You might think that they would be shamed into doing something but I guess that the chances of anything happening are slim to none!

They couldn't give a <deleted> about their own people

would it not be better to allow people to drink outside in the open air (with some rules) than doing it in confined spaces like bars behind closed shutters with no ventilation 

Not really because that's makes sense

Those working for the FCO and British Chamber of commerce fall under British residential status, continue to pay Tax in the UK and remain under the umbrella of the the NHS. 

 

You’ll have to look harder for your criticism. 

 

 

With all the debate about whether or not foreigners receive the vaccine, who do you think is in the background lobbying the Thai Government to prevent them from the clumsily abhorrent potential of levying elevated charges on foreigners to receive the vaccine in Thailand etc ???

 

We have very little idea of what occurs behind the scenes but I trust that we have representatives doing their diplomatic best to ensure fair treatment. 

 

Equally so, do you really think it feasible for the British Government to bring in 200,000 doses of vaccine to ensure the safety of its citizens while Thai’s are still struggling to secure sufficient vaccine.

.....Then you would have all the British whingers who live in the provinces complaining because the British Government didn’t arrange to have the vaccine transported to them in the countryside..... And then we’d have all those British whingers complaining because they haven’t been offered the vaccine they wanted.....

 

Ultimately, its not the British Government (Embassy’s) responsibility to provide us healthcare, but they can lobby and ensure that we are not excluded from options made available to Thai’s....

 

I don’t know why any of us would expect more than this... some just have an inflated sense of entitlement. 

 

 

 

 

I still pay tax in the UK but not entitled to any health care

I had a similar requirement and ended up getting a UK SIM from GiffGaff.  Free and, if you keep a small balance on it, it does not expire.  Works for me.  Ideally you need a phone that will take two SIMS.

 

https://www.giffgaff.com/how much does it cost to activate your sim

Does anyone know how I can get a temporary or other UK number to recive text messages from my bank to enable  me to log into my UK bank account

How long does Thailand keep your personal data after a sim card has expired 

All we need now is someone worth voting for

No, I must've dreamt it.

 

Oh, wait...

Thank you for that, they did tell me before they won't send a card to me overseas maybe I will try again next time.

Good point. I can access my UK Nationwide account with no problems. They even have my mobile number and address in my profile, which is handy because they now send new VISA cards to me here.

Nationwide send visa cards to Thailand? Are you sure

Wait until the 4th wave comes from India 

Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker (ELCB) is a protective device which breaks the circuit when small stray voltage is detected on the metal enclosure of electrical equipment to provide protection from electric shock.

During lightning, voltage can appear on metal enclosures because of the development of charge due to lightning leading to tripping of ELCB. Get an ELCB

It was not abolished last June. It is still needed in certain cases. Primarily it is only needed if you change the address immigration has for you.

If, but, maybe, perhaps, sometimes. 

So after being told the tm 30 was abolished in June its back on again all change haha

You don't need to do TM30 unless you change your address (meaning where you live)

Better if you do just to be on the safe side

You do not need to do a TM30 report after staying in a hotel now. That was changed in June of last year.

You only need to do a TM30 now if you change your address that immigration has in your records.

I never heard they change it again they might change it back again without notice 

On Monday i leave my home and go stay in a hotel for 1 night the hotel takes my passport details and reports me to immigration, 

Tuesday I check out of the hotel and go stay in another hotel for 2 nights 

That hotel doesn't bother to take my passport details and doesn't report me to immigration. 

I check out Wednesday and go home I go to immigration on Thursday to do my tm 30.

But now I'm 2 days late reporting and will be fined. 

How do I get over this problem that is not my fault.
