You are mixed up like the Thai vaccines

Its all about the money , nothing to do with sympathy or being generous . Immigration officers remain employed where many have been put out to pasture in the pandemic period . Many landlords must be very grateful too .

That is fob talk . The reason you come with fob talk is that there are no prosecutions for individuals using agents . Why is that ? Because agents work within the law.

That's comforting

Illegal ? can you give the name of one prosecution of an agent in Thailand after a visa has been issued by them? I have read that the immigration police has discretion on who a visa is awarded to. That is how it works.

Not only if the cash is legal and declared . A limit is placed on the amount of cash being taken out or in to a country .

Often an illegal practice leading to a loss

My Norwegian bank charges no fees also . But the exchange rate is not competitive and that is where the bank makes creative charges .

Woefully underpaid ? Three to four times the average wage in Thailand added with job security ?

And in anticipation of a windfall

If they write off the debt for teachers all debtors in Thailand will want the same treatment .

More mandatory than a custom in the US

Some people

Sarcasm is the wit of fools Mark Twain Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit but the highest form of intelligence Oscar wild A low form of wit out to belittle somebody and harm them . Reality

The information you attached is for travel within Europe . It has no relevance for travel between Thailand and the UK.

Well jollyhangman , it is not funny when you are visited by a well trained Thai electrician or plumber and things go wrong .

Thailand needs skills not rich people . Bag of money is not creating a future for the youth and future of Thailand .

Good idea , Thailand need highly trained electricians and plumbers . That would be a good start . This would help the local labour to become more efficient at what they do .

Obviously you have contacts with the UK Government for your statement on Sinovac not being one of the combinations or you could be accused of spreading false news . At the present time no vaccines from Thailand are accepted in the UK in any combination .

Hopefully the river rises beyond your control

That was your situation , many have different situations. My story is i have developed a business to provide income and have used all possible ways to remain in Thailand . Now I can apply for a retirement deal and live happily ever after .

Thankfully you are on low alcohol beer

If you are conscious after a accident make sure the ambulance driver takes you to the hospital you want . Often the driver will take you to a private hospital where he will get money for his troubles when you are a foreigner . The law says they are meant to take you to the nearest government hospital .

That maybe the situation . Obviously for a different rate .

In my case the surgeon was far more experienced than the private hospitals and a whole lot cheaper .
