Really reaching for the stars, more like it. ????

Yes! Vegan Restaurant Beyond Burger w/fries.

Never had any travel restrictions or quarantine here. Just alot of the usual BS hot air and propaganda...aka, what they excel at, "fibs".

PM definitely needs to get out of the...'driving them out of business'...business!

In case you don't get it sorted, seems there is still time. You can renew your Thai license up to three months before the expiration of your current one. If your license has expired by more than one year, you must retake the written theory test and achieve a score of at least 90.

Launching soon! Actually properly functioning and reliable...NEVER. ????

Yep. They've never tried to hide it. Always been this way here and probably always will be.

Mine was free. Came with the stock model...ME!

The money should be returned to those was extorted from, but CHOKE DEE with dat! There's no "improving" Thailand. It is what it is and always been. What most of us...initially...loved about it here. Now what most of us loathe. Can't fix 3rd world stupidity, greed, corruption, silliness, bad attitude and unwarranted sense of superiority, etc. Just gotta accept and roll with it. Ain't ever gonna change here.

Jomtien deluged with heavy rain all night. If Pattaya had the same it is surely underwater and the beach washed away again! 555

Unlikely...but hopefully his "ass-sets" behind bars soon.

I snapped this lovely sunset in Jomtien recently. The red, pink and purple hues are mainly caused by particles in the air...aka nasty ol' air pollution! NO gods required. ???? "As sunlight passes through aerosols or smog, it changes the color of our skies and sunsets. Pink, purple, or dark red sunsets are indeed spectacular to watch, but it also indicates our air is heavily polluted." https://eartheclipse.com/geography/what-causes-pink-sunsets.html

And the opposite type of design behind yours.

Unfortunately, I can't find Barwang Hilltops anywhere now...only The Wall.

Appreciate the replies and suggestions. Seems most here are still satisfied with Wise. That's great. Happily using XE now and satisfied, thus far, with their service and very competitive rates.

Don't know how the OP can be any clearer. Almost $100,000 USD transferred over past 3 years with Transferwise by ACH to Transferwise. Suddenly it doesn't work work for me. SAME accounts here and there. Perhaps a problem on my 2 US bank's end, but that seems highly unlikely for both.

Maybe you are not figuring in Wise fee. As stated previously and at this very minute...XE for $1000 (AND $2000) is better than Wise. I prefer Wise, but it seems XE offers better rates at lower transfer amounts and competitive rates thereafter. XE Wise

Still working on it, but IMO their customer service sux as well. Inconvenient and slow.

No not monthly. I do not transfer money out of Thailand by any method. Clearly stated ACH electronic transfer from US banks to Thai banks in the OP. Have successfully done 26 of these over 3 years without issues. Now unable to do any sort of transfer and ACH does not even show as an option now.

Anyone else having transfer problem? Seems ever since Transferwise changed name to just "Wise", it's not lived up to either moniker. During the past 3+ years, have transferred $100,000 USD to THB and a good friend here much more that. Both of us over dozens of transactions. Loved and highly recommended Tranferwise to everyone. We used ACH transfer from US Banks into Thai bank accounts. Suddenly, without any changes on our ends...transfers of any type are impossible and both the app and website have been rendered USELESS. Am now using XE, which gives competitive rates, while trying to sort things out. For $1000 USD to THB transferred today as a test, XE was a slightly better deal. $2000 up and "Wise" gets better. However, presently "Wise" isn't an option for me. Any thoughts, similar problems and suggestions appreciated.

Friend has flown Qatar round trip at least twice and last time was just last month. He was satisfied and no complaints. He was going to East coast of USA

1 Sept Jomtien Condo pool finally reopened, after needlessly and stupidly being forced to shut (again) for another wasted month. I'll be happily diving in this afternoon! ????‍♂️

Kidding! Well kinda-sorta...

Standing down...for now anyway. ????

When do we...OR THEY...ever know what's going on? Always a vague and unclear fustercluck. ????
