Not wanting a repeat of the deliberate slaughter and brutalisation of 1200 of its civilians is a "whim" is it..? -

They are having to live with the consequences of 1200 murdered Israeli civilians,not to mention hostages and the atrocities committed by Hamas. What they are fully entitled to do is ensure they don't have to live with the consequences of a repeat episode,the repeat Hamas had publicly stated they want to achieve. Israel is rightfully ensuring it's not going to happen again -

After years of seamless 90 day reporting on line I too just had my application rejected. Strangely I didn’t get the usual reminder email . This is the first 90 day after retirement visa extension in January so everything was completely up to date and I was 13 days before due date so comfortably within the window. I always double check my information is correctly entered. There is obviously something amiss with the system at the moment. Korat office.

Thai-China high-speed rail set to boost ASEAN connectivity
Chongalulu replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
A single large container ship holds 24000 TEUs. The equivalent capacity would take a 44 mile train. Then there’s the costs of loading and unloading onto a train and back onto a container ship in that link. It’s not a realistic economic alternative especially when taking into account the huge volumes of shipping out of China. -

In such a small overcrowded island costs for railway building are inevitably much higher than larger countries with more open countryside like France etc -
Wise higher charge

If they’d hacked your device to that extent they could transfer funds anyway. When switching you to your bank (Santander ) you effectively have to log in again with a trusted device and also fingerprint id to authorize the payment. Also it asks/checks that the Wise account is in your own name (denoted by the reference number). -
They might ask it from the person they are targeting but Thai RD would would have little joy in a fishing trip across the gammiit of card suppliers in U.K. Perhaps if there was some high profile serious specific crime investigation might they obtain cooperation from the U.K. authorities,but to a foreign tax authority of Thailand’s standing,I doubt.

That happens a lot here reflecting the much lower employment costs vs the costs of installing automation- the equation in developed countries is much different. Productivity is obviously much lower in thailand consequently which is not a good thing ultimately and they will eventually fall behind other countries by not focusing on upgrading skills/education..but that’s another story…

For some time using the "open banking " where it redirects you to your banking app to authorize them to take payment (which then happens at the bank end and confirms approval) and then on the redirection back to Wise there have been error messages " something went wrong " upon return to Wise site and the transaction fails and reverts to "pending" on the wise app. I had been in contact with my bank Santander who confirmed they’d authorized but Wise had failed to take funds - but Wise insisted there been no problem (technical) their end ,must be a network error , however others payments I made using this method worked seamlessly. This went on for several months. Finally last week when I pointed out by process of elimination it MUST be them they finally admitted to a technical error their end which would take them some time to fix (they’d let me know when!) and to do the manual transfer option until then. I was furious with them for not establishing/addressing this issue promptly. However the manual transfer costs the same ,takes little extra time and funds arrive just as quickly. Has anyone else had this issue? I don’t think there’s any extra potential for fraud as even HMRC (U.K. tax) uses this same system..except theirs works! -
