Indeed, otherwise some might wonder why they felt the need to add this option.

You’re on a section of the forum which is designed for those seeking advice on visas to other countries, your question has nothing to do with that, hence the confusion and it would seem the request for clarification.

The flights to Udon seem to have been quietly kicked into touch.

Indeed, six months since the last post, I’m surprised that you decided to resurrect it without actually adding anything which might be helpful.

That's a bit rich, how many posts have you made on this thread? You seem to be a man on a mission to criticise just about everyone who doesn't agree with your point of view.

Yes, he could have but that's his business, not yours, maybe he had other reasons.

Another headline grabbing story for our friends at the TAT.

Nobody is forced to do anything. l live a couple of hundred Kms from Bangkok in a dark red zone, in my 70’s and have a heart condition following a heart attack, I couldn’t get vaccinated locally, having two appointments for Sinovac cancelled. I decided to take control of my life, secured a vaccination in Bangkok, booked a taxi and travelled to Bangkok and back in my own little bubble, without putting myself or anybody else at risk. Life is all about decisions, I decided to take control, though I certainly don’t critise anybody who prefers to whine on a public forum. Hats off to the BCCT, they are certainly stepping up to the plate and getting very little credit for doing so.

I suspect anybody could get to Bangkok if they really wanted to get vaccinated, rather than expect BCC to spoon feed them. Whilst I only live a tad over 200 Kms from Bangkok, there are no interprovincial busses, but there are taxis that will drive us door to door in our own little safe bubbles, and many of us have cars that are equally capable of making the same journey without putting ourselves, or others, at risk.

I opened a Bangkok Bank Savings account two years ago, for the sole intention of receiving funds via Transferwise, as was, with the appropriate coding to satisfy Immigration Officers whims. I got one of their Mastercards when I opened the account, just in case, the card has been sitting in a draw for two years and has never been used, or even left the draw. Yesterday I received an SMS message confirmg a transaction of 2,000.59 Baht to a company via an EDC Terminal, I've never heard of the company who Mr Google says offers a service checking grammar on documents, not a service I'd consider paying for, and I've certainly never given my card details to this, or any other company. I called Bangkok Bank yesterday and after going through a miriad of security questions she recorded my complaint and asked me if I wanted to suspend the card, which she did and confirmed so, she advised that it would be sent to the appropriate department, who would be in touch. This morning I received an email from Customer Services regarding my "query" and saying that if I disputed a transactions I should contact 1333, which I did, cancel the card, which I did, and file a police report, which wasn't mentioned yesterday, but which I have no problam doing even though it seems like overkill, then they will pass it on to the fraud department, which they promised to do yesterday. I'm assuming this is a bog standard automated response, but I wonder if any of you have encountered this sort of issue, and if so how did it pan out?
