  1. Thank goodness you clarified that. None of us had the slightest idea what he was on about….. 🙄
  2. 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.
  3. Please include your marriage proposal to Bob in this thread - it will be considered along with the 14 others received so far…
  4. You didn’t have to wait long - see Zioners posts 4 down ! 😂
  5. 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.
  6. For a minute I read "old trans".. Still,you might have a point… 😜
  7. In such a small overcrowded island costs for railway building are inevitably much higher than larger countries with more open countryside like France etc
  8. 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).
  9. 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.
  10. 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…
  11. 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!
  12. As older industries diminish,new ones arise where people get employed. To resist that is like Canute and artificially supporting such is economically ruinous. But there's at least another 10 years of increasing demand for oil based products /fossil fuels ahead anyway
  13. 4 days on Blackpool pleasure Beach in March is more than enough for anyone! 😞 ☔
  14. 26th March to 1 April is 10 days? You are Dianne Abbott and I claim my £5! 😜 Yes I know he'll be lounging about in Thailand beforehand...
  15. Oh for God's sake don't bring the poor swiss into it, they've got enough on their plate !
  16. Stellios,the boss of easyJet UK said ”If you think Safety/maintenance is expensive try having an accident "...
  17. Data protection in the country of the card would deny access to them. Unless you volunteered it how would they obtain the information or even know you had such card?
  18. In further developments and in the spirit of compromise an image of Pad Mee noodles being eaten OFF the attractive lady with the caption "Delicious" has been released. The ambiguity has satisfied all parties in this spat...
  19. No,it's supposed to be their subscribers that do that...if you're lucky! 😋
