    Warning: this is a complicated and contentious issue. Over the last month there been a thread running (linked below) with 33 pages of comments. The short answer is, well, there really is no short answer. the consensus that is there are two things you have to do: 1. inform Wise they need to "tag" your account to utilize BBK bank for transfers to Thailand, and 2. to always select "funds for long term stay in Thailand" as the reason for the transfer. This is working for us now. Is it a 100% guarantee of an FTT code? No, probably not.

  3. I thought the Thai Govt. had banned all international passenger commercial flights in and out of Thailand, but tonight 4 airlines are listed to depart; KLM to Amsterdam, Thai to Tokyo, Emirates to Dubai and Lufthansa to Frankfurt. Can somebody please explain?

    The UK imposed a quarantine from June 8th for all arrivals.

    From July 10th, the quarantine will be lifted for Countries not deemed high risk.

    Surprisingly, Thailand isn't on that list.

    Coronavirus (COVID-19): countries and territories exempt from advice against ‘all but essential’ international travel

    The FCO updated its global advisory against ‘all but essential’ travel, exempting destinations that no longer pose an unacceptably high risk for British travellers.

    Thailand is now on the list

  5. My Extension of Stay expires on 19 July. I have kept 400,000 baht in Fixed Term A/c since last renewal and opened a new 6 month Fixed Term A/c with 400,000 baht on 27 April (2 months and 3 weeks before expiry date). I went to Jomtien Immigration today (23 June) to renew (3 weeks and a few days early) and my application was rejected. Immigration officers insist that my second 400,000 has to be in the bank account 2 months before the application date, not the expiry date. I didn't know that! They told me to go back on 27 June. Just so you know ????

    Now we have news of a British criminal with the infection who was in a Thai jail.  He travelled to Britain on a commercial airliner and probably has infected hundreds of other people.    Yes, let the Chinese come to Thailand....what could possibly go wrong!  ????

    Reported in UK MSM as testing negative. False alarm!

  7. I've just got back after 4 weeks in UK and my CTH channels are all mixed up; e.g Stadium 1 was channel 131 and is now channel 56. There also seem to be some old channels missing. Was a notice put out by CTH? Does anyone have any info? I've looked at the CTH website but there's no complete new channel schedule. Thanks in advance.
