Incoming bank charged the NW fee of 25 pounds, despite NW having changed it to 20 months before, so it was 45 pounds for the tansfer plus the intermediary HSBC charge, I have never been charged 200 baht by any Bank here for a transfer.

I bet you have.

For incoming Sterling payments every bank charges a fee + whatever their exchange rate is at that time.

For incoming Baht from overseas (why would anyone do that?) they just charge a fee.

The guide may be useful for some, but it doesn't include AstraZeneca brewed in Thailand.

UK pretty much doesn't accept anything not administered in the UK/EU/US.

When a 75 old woman sells yaba and a 17 year old girl becomes a thief, just to get some food, and you are too damn incompetent to take care of your own people, you need to open this country, give the people a chance to find a job.

The thing is tourists will not come in high numbers.

 

Anything otherwise is a crime.

 

Lockdown apologists, just stay inside or use 10 masks.

Bu11sh!t..... they were probably doing that before lockdown.

Are they fully vaccinated?

Get the numbers up on that, then we can all play.

Always has been.

Why not?

 

That is my question...no issue with meeting criteria, what benefits are there in applying 'early'.

A friend recently married and is doing his wife's application now. He said that he couldn't see any benefit but equally there was no benefit in delaying. He was ready to go, just had a few months of financials to put together. 

He did comment that apart from a handful of new questions the application for Leave to Remain was easy because he had most of the information/documents from her original Fiancee visa application.

All symptomatic Covid patients hospitalised? Why? Gonna run out of beds very quickly...

 

Not unless the rate of testing is significantly increased.

I have been checking the Worldometers info site and Thailand hasnt recorded any tests for almost a week now. 

So you think they haven't undertaken any?

What kind of flight is someone supposed to take who is paralyzed after a stroke and just had a part of his skull removed?

A Medivac type flight paid for by good insurance cover.

Some 72% of respondents agreed Scottish First Minister and SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon was doing very or fairly well, while only 20% said that for Johnson. 

 

So not a divided nation after all. 

Most of us think Sturgeon is doing well.

And most of us think Johnson is useless.

And most of us want independence.

Depends whether you consider 1,100 people to be a 'nation'.....and 47% of those didn't want independence.

Rely on that outcome for supporting your case and you really are grasping at straws.

With the Chinese starting all this and now reports of bubonic plague there. I would like to see the question. Do you want Chinese people to be allowed back in and see what the Thais say to that

They will welcome the Chinese back with open arms.

With 7,000+ visitors from Wuhan in January, and so few Covid-19 cases in Thailand, the conclusion is that this a dirty Farang virus.

Just look at the only cases now - Thais returning from Farang countries.

Case proved......................... Chinese welcome.

BR67 normally starts in Taipei (TPE) but I think I read somewhere that they are not taking passengers onboard from there..... basically, it id a BKK/LHR flight.

They should name that part of Thailand to kingdom of Buriram as they want to make their own silly laws and regulations. Next thing you know you need a special visa for falang to get in.

That is the whole democratic point......................provincial governors CAN make their own rules to suit local circumstances. I suspect that if something was too outlandish the government would sort it out.

Remember, in some areas entry is not allowed.
