Thanks, carry on the plane best but I will be over weight. Excess baggage for 30 kg is around £1200 or £600 if booked in advance. Also I have to get it to the airport. Post office is between £150 and £400 for 20 kg maximum. There are two firms that will collect and deliver a suitcase up to 30kg for around £230. Sea freight was stupid, B26,000 plus £500 in UK - think a full container is only a bit more. Hope this information helps others.

I take it that nobody has needed to airfreight goods from Chiang Mai to the UK.

Any recommendations for a company in Chiang Mai that can pack some personal possessions and arrange for it to be sent by air to the UK? Probably only be 2 or 3 boxes of stuff , maybe 100Kg, but all the sites I find using Google seem to be commercial (lots of stuff) and mostly want to send it by sea.

I just completed this quiz. My Score 70/100 My Time 75 seconds  

Think you put too many 0's, 2,000 bath for the initial application.

I know that Poi Pet has always been a pain for a border bounce but is it also a problem for normal crossing? I'd like to use it to go to Ankor wat for a few days then return.

OK, so not me being stupid you can not transfer out of a fixed deposit account using the Bangkok bank website. Thanks for the confirmation. My interest is always added to the fixed deposit account when it renews. Yes, I could phone them but I do not like phoning Thai call centres (actually any call centre) and also suspect it can not be done by phone either.

Is is possible to transfer money from a Bangkok Bank Fixed deposit account to another Bangkok Bank savings account using their website? I want to transfer the interest earned this year into my savings account but can not find anyway to do it on the website. As I'm in the UK I can not go to the branch, difficult to phone them and I can not make the app work. Only their website is available to me.

To avoid edge opening all the time try installing msEdgeRedirect. Every time something tries to open in edge it instead opens in your default browser. Now you do not have to uninstall edge, it is, instead, just ignored.

I can not make the face recognition work either, thought it was my beard as it always says it can not see my chin.

Don't forget if you want to go to the EU the passport must be less than 10years old from date of issue. So if, like me, you renewed 9 months early and have to have 6 months of validity for the EU then you have to renew 15 months before your passport expires

Thanks KhunBENQ - With KrungThai I can not register for online banking with the mobile app - and they have closed their web based internet banking. Bankgok bank says turn off WiFi, but using mobile data they can not recognize my phone number. Probably because I use an eSIM that does not have a phone number and goes via HongKong or else I use my UK data. I don't have data in Thailand as I never need it, except (it seems) for BKK bank app. At least their web based banking still works.

Has anyone with a beard managed to register for online banking when photo recognition is required? With KrungThai I get nothing but "Can't see your chin" and "Can't see your mouth". I assume the problem is the beard. Since KTB do not have a website to do banking and I can not get their app to work I plan on closing the account. Except that will take too long in the bank so I'll just run the account down to B10 and they can close it for me.

Maybe because I am too old but at 108 Clinic I had to see a doctor and that took a little over 1 hour and cost B300 for the Dr and B60 for the certificate. But do love their self service blood pressure machines - better than anything I have seen elsewhere.

Recently notice a change booking train tickets CNX to BKK. The 18:00 express can be booked up to 90 days ahead, all the rest of the trains just 30 days as before.
