Yes , your right and I feel sorry for normal French tourists who have nothing to do with these horrible F A

Totally agree , Phuket would be a better place without those arrogant ba* * * *ds endangering the lifes of others , the whole lot of them brainless idoits need deporting

Nothing to worry about are you serious https://1780m.trk.elasticemail.com/tracking/click?d=l6AWaZdZnlooR0xZb_o9sGY8Qk5akt0MWhE2GzJrSAuD9J_maUcoyZd08-2lXLYcs2jg1yllkBr2_AKON8iElq2wamLMcboHuguYEPeVuZ3JsL7JwAmMbGFztD7rFeJuIArj22mzAijQddBkT1cak2Ic80qlayL0gBOsQzTynf0z6-4dFdSnp30jBr4mJcBH0lTJi5Kddy-yz4Yt1omaHcmuokjOkRl3EFqllQzLBLWfSeKE4q15KTwYcacLq5AJcuFH3-kv-AL7CYfn0kuZxJCBNGqy1H-0Z1KSRZaqPhVIJt9mEICX521lnGkJWHx9hg2

Correct

Yes , Foreign Currency Account , most bank here have them , I have one with Krungsri and SCB

Yes I totally agree , HSBC might only charge £5 but they will give you a much lower rate of exchange , it definitely still works out a lot cheaper using Wise.

I have lived here 23 years and purchased several foreign freehold condos. I totally agree with Soi3eddie , your biggest concern is the land office. It may be cheaper using Wise for smaller amounts but your not going to be able to get the correct Torta Sam or Credit advice to satisfy the land office. They now require the exact amount your paying , the exact address , condo building name and floor and unit number on the foreign exchange. Also clearly stated the reason is to purchase a Condominium . I would strongly recommend sending it in one single payment directly from your overseas bank to a Thai bank account in your name or your lawyers name. I have experienced many problems before regarding this issue. Wise is great for smaller amounts but on a Condo purchase definitely not the way to go , I tried it 2 years ago with Wise and had no end of problems at the land office. In the end I had no choice but to return the funds back to the UK and resend using UK bank to Thai bank in one transaction with the exact amount matching the contract price.

Absolutely its him , only he forgot to add " asking for a friend " lol

I sent 13.3 Million using Dmoney in one transaction from the sale of a Condo in 2020 , back then they gave me 39 baht to GBP. They normally have a restriction of 800,000 per day but I contacted there head office by email and they requested some documents such as : Sales contract Land office tax receipt. For smaller amounts like 1 to 1.5 Million I have just sent from my phone in one transaction using either the SCB app or the Dmoney app , no paperwork required. I found the SCB just as competitive as Dmoney with rates of exchange and fees and the SCB daily limit is higher at 1.5 Million per day and the fee was if I recall 250. I have never been charged anything at the UK end for incoming funds.

Try living in Phuket I had to wait 3 months to renew my two 5 year licenses , the wait now is 16 weeks

Dmoney are the best in my opinion , you dont need no paperwork just send from your phone and there exchange rates are very very good and the fee is just 125 thb per transaction , used them now about 25 times and never had any issues.

I doubt very much you have used Wise to transfer funds out of Thailand , I have had a Wise ( previously Transferwise ) account for 5 years and they definitely dont fo transfers out if Thailand because they dont have the license to do it.

Phuket , when changing the stamps over , being the original Non Immigrant O from 2007 and the March 1 2002 extension they asked me for : 1. Copy of every page of my old passport 2. Copy of the original Non Immigrant O I also gave the a letter that the UK Embassy gave me asking them if they would kindly swap my Visa stamp over into my new passport

I had to do this last week , my new passport arrived last Thursday week , my retirement extension expires on March 1st. So last Friday week I went to immigration first and they swapped my Visa over and extension to March 1st 2023 over to my new passport , this took 15 minutes. Then last Monday I went to the bank to first update my new passport , then I got the bank guarantee letter to show I had over 800,000 in the bank. Then copied every page of my bank book , obtained and printed a 12 month statement from my banking app. Then went to immigration last Monday afternoon with my new passport and bank letter ect and they did my retirement extension early within 45 days. It took less than 10 minutes picked my passport up on Tuesday with extension to March 1st 2024 .

Exactly I agree

Can you get me her phone number

I have a Mai Thai Dee account but 2 years ago opened an SCB EZ account , interest rate was 2% on the first 2 Million now its 1.5% on the first Million , but no restrictions on withdrawals unlike the Mai Thai Dee were its 2 per month after that pay 50 baht per withdrawal

Its high season <deleted> , there were all busy with punters

If you can just download the SCB app then you dont need to worry about receiving SMS

Why give the guy the worst possible information ? , if when hes 50 and he obtained the Retirement Visa from.his own embassy he would be issued with a "Non OA" . Then he would be have yo obtain the ridiculous insurance every year , much better for him to obtain his retirement Visa in Thailand were he would then be in a "Non O"

Will the video footage show any "Hard Evidence" ?

Any "Hard" evidence ?

There not trying very hard to catch them , the fireworks have been going off every night for the past 4 months from 8 pm continually until 4 am. Here is the guy selling them every night with the number plate removed from his old Honda Click. The Patong beach police station at the end of Bangla rd is in full view of of everything. They are again illegal fireworks going off again tonight right in front of my place , very loud and annoying everybody

He should kick some ass , but o suppose he would find that very difficult now
