Wait a minute…..  Take a deep breath and let it out slowly.  Now, picture me running down a road towards the horizon while I’m laughing uncontrollably at the prospect of ANY “crackdown” on motorcycles in Bangkok of all places!  55555555555555555555555!

Where do they propose doing these antigen tests?  While waiting in the immigration queue?  Another clusterf@@k     about to happen!

Thai public urges relevant agencies and psychiatrists to fix the PM. So, that he will be able to engage in actual work and be a productive man. And perhaps he will somehow develop some leadership skills, and raise his approval rating over 1%.

But he’s doing so well cultivating coriander though……..   Doesn’t THAT count as productivity?

“Prime Minister Prayut Chan-O’Cha yesterday, November 7th, has ordered relevant Thai agencies to improve the “Thailand Pass” system after multiple applicants reportedly did not receive the QR Code”
 

The understatement of the week!  Scrap the whole idea for cryin out loud

Why go home at the airlines's expense? The airlines should be able to check everything before you're boarding a flight. 

 

That’s the point isn’t it!  Try getting on a plane to America without a Negative PCR test result in your hand.   Thailand should be the same! ( Maybe add a vax certificate.).   End of story.

How many more are backed up while waiting for their Thailand Pass QR code?

The Thai Pass app wants an upload of “visa -if required”.  Is this what has people confused?  If we have a re-entry permit should we just not upload it and suggest to them that we plan to enter visa exempt?  If we do…..and we get a QR code, what happens when we appear at immigration when entering with a reentry permit?

Wise transfer from your UK bank to Bangkok Bank mthly on same day (1st is a good start) checking the "funds for long term stay in Thailand" drop down. Then collect "service advices" each mth from your home BB branch and represent them annually for your bank certificate listing all 12 deposits. For your first extension application it is for only 2/3 mths dependant on your arrival date.

You will find that Wises fees are more than adequately covered by the higher conversion rate they use.

I found that BB was only interested in opening my account when I told them my pensions would be deposited monthly. Also I got Wise to flag my account to BB only to avoid domestic Thai transfers

I have seen widespread reports that Wise transfers are not showing up as international funds transfers regardless of which option one chooses from the drop down menu.  This recent development raises questions about the reliability of showing bank codes in passbooks that denote international funds transfers.  Be cautious about relying solely on Wise at this time.

Wow.  Export dirty rubber gloves and within days of the breaking story people involved get sentenced to four years in prison.

Run over and kill a cop with a speeding car on Sukhumvit and never see prosecution.

And as for vaccine supply Anutin is directly responsible for the lack of delivery because he diverted the CM doses to other places. So he had better accept responsibility for the never ending increase in infections.

Ya.  Good luck with THAT!

We met online in 2004.  I came to bkk in December, 2004 and we met in person.  We’ve been together ever since!

What Darwin said……..

Suggest you check with the others who told you they were also paid twice.  Ask if the deposit was reversed and what the reason was that is shown on their account.  
 

you should notify your employer of the situation and include all of the facts.  Put it in writing to the employer.  Create a paper trail and then….relax!

Consider buying the basic model, iPad.  The iPad Air is more expensive than the basic iPad and will probably meet your needs if you’re a basic user.  Check out the specs, look at the iPad and compare it to the iPad Air.  You’ll save a lot of baht!

I use the iPad and it does everything I need.  

Have you considered using Wise to move your funds from AUS to Thailand?

i use them and never had to speak to or receive codes from my bank.  Works great for me.  Search them on google 

As posted earlier…..  90 days after AZ #2.  
 

I intend to follow that plan, too!
