  1. Never had any problems with Wise for 10+ yrs. I use Natwest in the UK via Wise to Bangkok Bank in Thailand. Have done 2 transfers since 29 May both received the next working day
  2. Reform has been set up to satisfy tories who are left of the conservatives so is about as far right as you can get despite the wokery displayed in this article! Farage set the party up specifically to cater for those bigots who felt let down by the Tory party!
  3. Whose going to enforce? Bank or SIM provider? Never managed to activate facial recognition with Krungsri. They didn't know what to do. BB recognition works intermittently. Who is going to trawl through SIM Nos and Account Nos to find a lack of matches. In fact they are looking for a needle in a haystack. Only way they can enforce this is to apply it on initial account application including mobile app set up which is quite enough to stop mule accounts. Just like the retrospective tightening up of tax on incoming transfers this is yet another example of floating an idea to see if it will fly!
  4. Destined not to work! Enough problems with facial recognition! And I use apps AND go on line when app doesn't work (frequently) which doesn't require a SIM. Visits to my bank are a nightmare with long queues due to so many branches closing!
  5. I won't be booking Eva again as they gave my pre-booked aisle seat to a supposedly needier person alongside my family and moved me to a cramped window seat on the other side of the plane as a result of which I lost them on disenbarking and fell on the travelator whilst looking for them injuring my elbow
  6. Get a wooden seat-plastic deteriorates in this heat and humidity Best to replace whole toilet if bolts corroded
  7. Did transfer yesterday using 'funds for long term stay' as usual-no questionnaire as usual. Wise would tell us if rules changed. Too much speculation especially as tax authorities probably monitoring web sites for ideas!
  8. Last pandemic prooved masks work especially when mass movement of tourists from originating countries is being encouraged. General reduction in upper respiratory tract infections whilst mask wearing abounded in countries able to acquire them. Foolish not to use such a simple preventative.
  9. Immigration only want to see incoming FTTs. I obtain Credit Advices for FTTs then give them back to my bank to certify for Immigration
  10. Firstly it's not a bribe-its payment for a service and secondly-some of us cannot attend Immigration due to ill health
  11. Setting fire to the forest is NOT sustainable agriculture. Last year the hills were ablaze everywhere!
  12. Except HMRC definition places me as tax resident in the UK as I had tax relief on my pension contributions which I must pay back as I receive my pension payments. Can't be tax resident in more than one country!
  13. Problem is crop burning not vehicle exhaust. Need to make crop buyers liable not individual farmers
  14. Just done mine. Applied am-approved pm same day. Jomtien seems to sign off before they finish work
  15. No parking anywhere and the few toilets that exist are filthy. However if it keeps Bankokians away from Jomtien then yes!!!
  16. Only method that works!
  17. Unfortunately robot floor cleaners can never clean as well as a maid and definitly not as well as you can!
  18. Gave me one without me asking when I ordered new card! Can't think what I would use it for?
  19. Not so. I pay full income tax on my pensions in the UK despite living in Thailand. UK has a dual tax treaty with Thailand.
  20. If you collect all the credit advices from BB you can present them back to BB for your annual statement and they will provide the immigration documents immediately
  21. That's why I have opened an account with Wise in case my UK bank closes my account despite having a UK address
  22. Even if you do select they can still move you. I picked 3 seats together for family reserving an aisle seat for me and they bounced me to a window seat in order to give my seat to an 'ill' passenger. Won't be traveling Eva Air again!
  23. Same on my last extension at JI. Agent took a photo of me in the car in immigration car park as my wheelchair is broken and gave to officer
