  1. Check in staff ALWAYS have aisle seats in if you ask nicely should you not be able to get your preferred seat when online check in opens On the extremely rare occasion I've been assigned a middle seat (on any airline) have always been able to change it at official check in on the day (obviously dont turn up with 45 minutes to go lol)
  2. Agoda dont set the rate.... I've used Chase bank last 3 Agoda bookings 2 of which were priced in Baht and it was the Mastercard rate at time of the transaction
  3. How is even remotely possible that there is a very real chance of this lunatic becoming leader of the free world once again America is a total laughing stock......UK was a laughing stock under Johnson but nothing he did comes remotely close to this Trump character
  4. Just lock him up once and for all Boris Johnson the most vile corrupt evil leader in British Political history was a babe in arms compared to Trump
  5. I was one day over Christmas day when I left (on 60 day visa) No fine and written in Thai in passport saying "one days grace no issue" once translated Came back in 18th January and IO opened passport to same page didnt bad an eyelid
  6. Working normally for me Try rebooting laptop or Phone etc
  7. Clearly that went right over your head........................
  8. Right up to the point your phone crashes and dies or you lose it !
  9. Surely they could have sent £10 via Wise lol to cover the Debit Card annual fee !
  10. Never ever let a bank account get closed accidentally through inactivity or deliberately. Goes for any account worldwide. Always churn couple thousand baht through it annually (Thai one obviously)
  11. Yes cross border limits ended must be 35 or 40 years ago but once you go over 10.000 Euros its declaration time (not Sterling it was supposed to change post Brexit but still hasnt) so yes limitations are at the Thai end but the chances of being stopped as you come out of arrivals by Customs is remote Just once in 170 arrivals have I been randomly stopped
  12. Suspect you wont be the only one ! Declare it outbound to Border Force though otherwise a tug on final gate by a money dog may be painful lol
  13. I think as in other threads this is a very much wait and see situation until it all becomes clearer I definately would not be "red flagging" myself at this stage
  14. Landed 7.45pm slightly earlier than scheduled 5 minute to deboard and then I always leg it to immigration to at least get in front of co passengers on my flight.... Probably about 8pm give or take 5 minutes
  15. If you want to close now fine by me as I've updated One other point I'd forgotten actually with the immigration guy. I was smiling being polite as always and did the 4 fingers of each hand when he said look at camera...to which I responded no thumbs as a question....He smiled and said No I can see you've been many times before Point in question the passport is brand new bar one entry and exit late last year If anyone ever thought a new passport erased past history think again....more than a few about who think it does though !
  16. Update post flights and arrival....18th Jan Kudos to the earlier poster who said you may well have no interaction with ground staff as long as you check in online I had indeed as always checked in online and Singapore operate out of T2 Heathrow where it appears all self check in. Passport in machine which validates and then throws out Boarding cards and Baggage tag.....peeled off the barcode to retain (floorwalker was watching me but not intervening) Then one glance from floor staff that checked the boarding card against passport and directed me to put the bag on belt and using self scanner vaildate that. And thats was it lol......Certainly no request for onward ticket (they didnt know anyway I was effectively one way)....No Evisa check obviously either Nothing at Changi prior to 2nd short flight either On an aside the longest immigration queues I have seen. Over 100 metres plus from the start of the slope (where the snake starts)....95% Chinese I walked by them not quite deliberately because I wasnt 100% sure that was the actual queue because flags were raised ( but it was).....I joined at bottom of slope and still the longest ever immigration wait Fair to play to Singapore again I might add the absolute dogs bollacks of an airline
  17. Heads up as its the first time I've seen it Was checking live rate and noticed much bigger spread between Interbank and net landing rate in your Thai account I was on laptop as always and the method of sending had defaulted to a higher fee as regards how Wise get your monies in the first place It was showing £10 something rather than the normal £6 something for £1000 Easy to overlook that. Sneaky indeed
  18. Problem is he is also posting under a different name with same scenario at another border
  19. This is pure comedy gold fantasy on an epic scale..... I'm off to get 25kg of popcorn This could run and run.....
  20. 20mg of Diazapam and its lights out. Avoid the booze though Took them on Singapore to London on Xmas day 3 hours into a 14 hour flight and woke up with 3 hours to run Right result and got 2 left for return flight this week
  21. Same line of grammar as someone called Siwek who had 22 posts and complained identical issue at another border few weeks ago
