  1. The header of this thread (or at least the SETV bit) should be having everyone scratching their heads as in yes something not quite right here The reality will bite soon Dr Jack makes the point (I think twice in thread ) in that will the 60 day visa exempt entry actually remain.......in my opinion its absolutely here to stay What isnt is this supposed unlimited entries by land and air (at the discretion of IO) entry via Visa Exempt Whereby we come back to why the SETV very much still exists. Is the penny dropping.... It really should be People need to read their own Thai Embassy website in their own Country......or are they all wrong as regards new rules from July 15th
  2. I've used Truemove for as long as I can remember current Sim about 11 years and previous one must have been 5 or 6 years maybe longer Worked absolutely everywhere I've been in that time I use a short code for data on month by month basis for 300 Baht which the resident know all on this sub forum (on his approximate 60th username) will say is expensive but never ever provides a month by month alternative If you want it let me know and will dig it out
  3. There is very real reason I dont fly Thai airlines in general. I've genuinely flown London to Bangkok I think its 169 times (several of friends my age have done more and nearer 200) Of those 169 times only twice have I flown Thai and once Phuket air we speak about here I've always had this mindset of Somchai in servicing parts with his bike spanners saying "mai pen rai" over something important and assuming it'll be fine lol Probably unwarranted with Thai itself but not sure about the others as you say !
  4. lol never ever show your hand unless absolutely forced to In reality it doesnt but its highly likely to invite requests for information and documents which may be impossible to provide for reasons various I think I'm still married but have absolutely no idea where the bint actually is
  5. I have them on top jaw in 2013 Still as good as the day they were fitted.... They are shade 3/20 so as not to appear outright turkey teeth lol I have been whitening bottom jaw every since in fact only recently was asking about doing the whitening professionally again on bottom jaw Currently trying this stuff off Ebay but will almost certainly do it in Pattaya this Autumn
  6. True story I flew their 747 from Bangkok to Gatwick and it was literally grounded indefinately 3 days later again at Gatwick with a list of serious defects that ensured it never flew again lol 3 years later it was still grounded with no prospect of airport charges being sorted. Assume it was scrapped there eventually
  7. Indeed......whilst the legislation has been around for decades albeit not enforced tells its own story Full of loopholes
  8. ^ ^ ^ You're getting mighty boring fella with your confused emoji idiocy fella Go and troll in the Atlantic ocean somewhere deep
  9. True using 0060044 prefix was 1.2 baht a minute when I called HSBC last winter from Thailand Used to be 1 baht a minute when it was first introduced long time ago so still good value
  10. Not a clue what you're on about Whats it meant to do ??
  11. If Thai immigration want to deny a passenger entry all they have to do is state officially we do not consider yourself a genuine tourist Why make up a fanatsy story in the first place. Fact they dont need to. Why on earth would (any) immigration officer lie and claim no money was the reason when the highlighted passage of text above could be used every time. Quite simply they wouldnt.
  12. Sim data is turned off. It doesnt get turned on until the motor pulls up to the airbridge The credit disappears just as quickly within Thailand when wifi is connected Enjoy your coffee
  13. I can hardly wait for Harris to absolutely destroy Tango man on voting day The aftermath will be beyond hilarious as Trumpton bleats from his horse box that another election has been stolen..... Along come the Fibbies with the handcuffs shortly after You're going down Donald and not before time...an extensive stretch beckons PS Donald Thailand has a huge industry relating to lube..... Couple of Vats should be enough...
  14. I've never had the slightest issue with Truemove internet per se and have a cracking short code (on a month by month basis) but credit disappearing is straight forward theft
  15. J J in your latest reincarnation (N N) please dont respond ...thank you
  16. Dear God the long winter nights must simply fly by.............. (I give up seriously lol)
  17. I know this has come up before Twice in the past I went in to a Truemove shop and they "reset" something but as soon as the new month started off it would come again My Sim needed credit added so I could advance the validity. as only had a week left.....from experience you got to have your wits about you lol Transferred 25 Baht from SCB to the Sim and immediately started dialling the short code to advance it 6 months 12 Baht to advance......Did it and fortunately it successfully worked as always Within a minute credit was down to 3 baht left so 10 had disappeared 2 minutes later all gone Short of binning the Sim (could do) next time in Thailand surely there must be a way of stopping this. Claims of I've clicked on links are spurious. Clearly Truemove are aware of the issues The one time you need that phone to work is in emergency hospital situation and the three hospital numbers I've got saved wont connect from lack of credit !
  18. I can categorically refute your "info goes to the tax authorities in both Thailand and your home country automatically" ......if they had informed UK HMRC it would have been further used against me (and I'll leave it at that lol) Right so I've now given 5 large to my Thai wife to change £500 at a time at different TT exchanges Bear in mind we are talking about ourselves not Thai nationals Do carry on.........
  19. Yet another internet myth repeated so often it becomes an internet fact instead
  20. If the requirement is to show proof of funds and my SCB app shows 600k at point of entry with my name clearly displayed then I fail to see how a decline notice over funds could possibly be listed as the reason ! I get the hard cash bit but even in Thailand some common sense has to prevail I've just drawn out £500 yesterday here just in case I have never ever seen someone in any immigration queues asked to go into their bag and produce cash. Has anyone else here !
  21. Likewise never understood this urgency to get back same day or overnight I'll have to do my first ever run this coming Winter at the 90 day mark and wherever I go Manila Cambodia or Da Nang will be going for a week
  22. Whilst I have never been asked to show hard cash at immigration under this new 60 day visa exempt entry ( which will be royally abused over the coming months) I wouldnt be remotely surprised to see more requests at immigration desks to see the cash
  23. Same as in every country Worldide Quite simply burn more calories daily than you stuff in your mouth........... Thats it. Simple as
