lol

I would highly imagine they do later on any particular day

I'll see if I can get it on Ebay Yesterday I ordered "The last Executioner" recommended on this forum

Have a read of the book "Damage done" by Australian Warren Fellows If you start to read be prepared to finish it all in one sessiom (Its occasionally rebranded as 5000 days in 2nd hand book shops) https://www.amazon.com/Damage-Done-Twelve-Bangkok-Prison/dp/184018275X

I've funded this 6 month trip (with 2 week break in the middle) transferring monies via Wise when Sterling waa bouncing around 45/46 earlier this year Spending coming up to halfway through trip just under budget (not a budget per se but a suggestion to myself) so 2nd half of trip also likely to be from monies that landed at that much higher rate as well I'm hoping that Sterling strengthens against the USD on one side of the pairings and Baht weakens against the same on the opposite side so I can start funding Winter 2025/26 at similar levels as this year On the bonus side State Pension will kick in in 2026 and as anyone who is self employed will tell you it tends to be a complete bonus as its not part replacing employed status income

Nope. I;ve made many a bad decision but not when it comes to drugs. Pure evil and the problem is (and especially in the UK) whereby we let "end users" off with a caution (not dealers) instead of walloping them in jail for up to 7 years as per statute book Even the dealers invariably get light sentences it seems of a few years at worst If an end user was completely in the know that 1 gram of Cocaine 1 Ecstasy tab etc etc would land you inside for years drug crime would hugely drop Too soft we are

Got it in one ! Afraid I have zero sympathy

No it doesnt show as international with SCB

Ignore the fee its all about what lands in your account Bear in mind Wise use full interbank rate whereas as an example if you used a British bank like HSBC which used to be £4 the monies land in your Thai account at Telegraphic Transfer landing rates much less than interbank plus a landing fee No landing fee with Wise either Wise via app or desktop show you the competitors landing amounts....occasionally Wise are not top but invariably its very small difference

lol banks in Thailand operate 24/7 as regards online payments/transfers as they do in all 1st world countries I have used Wise every single day on a 7 day week plus bank holidays and makes absolutely no difference Since I've beem monitoring it 24 of the last 25 transfers landed in 4-5 seconds or less and the odd one was 2 hours For reference I use simple bank transfer method to Wise...No debit cards no credit cards no monies sitting on Wise account Royal Bank of Scotland to Wise to SCB On the wise app (or desktop) I never even get the chance to click on their icon "I've sent my monies" because SCB pings with monies landing before I even get a chance to

....and there is a prime example Some people cant help themselves

These flights have been absolutely rammed every time wheels up It doesnt surprise me I was lucky enough for many years to be able to obtain ID90 staff discount tickets on BA care of my brother to Bangkok Treated like a king in Economy ....I've never understood the angst against our national carrier Somehow a complete internet myth this last 25 years that BA are crap has somehow turned into an internet fact instead

Into 33rd year of visiting (around 170 trips) only once have customs stopped me coming out of arrival hall I was so astonished I said what me lol It was completely random Put main bag through scanner though needn't have bothered as the guy viewing the screen was clearly asleep I do bring in 2 months of Tramadol supply which is the most GP will issue at one time in the UK....when I need more I just buy OTC

Yesterday I got on the Baht Bus at junction of South Pattaya rd heading towards Jomtien About 200m up the road was massive police presence (and I mean massive at least 20 of them) pulling bikes left right and centre.....4 pick up trucks were loaded with bikes just rammed inside No idea if from noise or untaxed uninsured or what but never seen anything like it

The basics of life in Thailand remain very cheap. My Jomtien Condo at current exchange rates is around £230 a month Electric runs around £30 and water bill just paid was less than £3 If I had an identical set up in my home city (which is on the coast) the apartment would be £900+ a month absolute minimum Electric around £60 and water around £30....then you have council tax etc Inflation seems to hardly exist.....in the 7/11 I always buy one of the branded sun lotions. 32 years ago it was 195 Baht...today its still only 235 baht
